FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2011
DR. JOHN STEINER OF LONDON WILL PRESENT HIS PAPER “THE IDEAL AND THE REAL IN KLEIN AND MILTON:
SOME OBSERVATIONS ON READING PARADISE LOST” Dr. ROY SCHAFER WILL INTRODUCE DR. STEINER
Dr.John Steiner is a training analyst of the British Psychoanalytical Society and works in private practice as a psychoanalyst. He is the author of many psychoanalytic papers and two books.
His first book, “Psychic Retreats” (1993), describes how patients may withdraw to defensive organisations which protect them from anxiety and loss. The second, “Seeing and Being Seen” (2011), describes the situation of patients emerging from a psychic retreat. As they begin to come out of the protection of the retreat, they face the anxiety of seeing their objects more clearly and also of being seen, entailing emotions in the area of embarrassment, shame and humiliation.
Dr. Steiner has also edited and written introductions to several books including The Oedipus Complex Today, (1989), papers by Hanna Segal entitled, Psychoanalysis, Literature and War, (1997) and Essays on Herbert Rosenfeld’s Clinical Influence, entitled Rosenfeld in Retrospect, (2008).
Location : New York Psychoanalytic Society and Institute, 247 East 82nd Street, New York City, New York.
Meeting will begin at 7 P.M.
