International Psychoanalytical Association
11th Joseph Sandler Research Conference – February 5 to 7, 2010
Dear Colleagues,
11th Joseph Sandler Research Conference
Friday, February 5 to Sunday February 7, 2010
We are pleased to invite you to the Joseph Sandler Research Conference 2010 which takes place in Frankfurt/Main for the third time.
The conference is devoted to a central topic of contemporary psychoanalysis: Persisting Shadows of Early and Later Trauma. In survivor families of the Holocaust psychoanalysts first discovered the transgenerational transmission of extreme traumatizations. In the last decades clinical and empirical research has shown that the transmission of trauma also takes place in other groups of severely traumatized individuals. But only recently epigenetic researchers discovered that the psychologically described mechanisms of the transmission of trauma also have genetic correlates: extreme traumatizations may even change the gene structures of the individuals as will be discussed at this conference. We thus would like to intensify the interdisciplinary dialogue on this most relevant issues comparing the state of art of psychoanalytic trauma research with findings of empirical and epigenetic studies.
Whole-Conference fees start from €100 (Candidates) and €180 (Members)
