Arlene Kramer Richards, EdD & Lucille Spira, PhD: Myths of Mighty Women

Dr. Arlene Kramer Richards will present brief excerpts from Myths of Mighty Women: Their Application in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy (Karnac, 2015) edited by Arlene K. Richards and Lucille Spira. The vignettes focus on mythical, biblical and literary figures that psychoanalytic psychotherapists can use to empower women.

Lucille Spira, Ph.D./LCSW will present Helen Knocks ‘Em Dead: A Story of Kidnapping, Rape, Revenge and the Aftermath. In this paper she proposes that Helen, Queen of Sparta, went to Troy as an act of vengeance. A clinical vignette is used to illustrate the impact of the Helen myth on today’s women.
