In April, 2006 an 88-year old Austrian artist met with a journalist and recounted a consultation she had with Sigmund Freud 70 yeare before, when she was 18 years old. "It changed my life!" The story of this meeting is astonishing. In these two days of workshops we will tell you this story. And in brief commentaries, short videos clinical vignettes and active discussion with you, we will look at what we may learn from this story about the role of personal agency in human development, intersubjective experiencing in treatment, and the place of mind, body and sexuality in new relational psychoanalysis.
These Saturday and Sunday workshops are part of a single body of thinking, so we encourage attendance at both. For those whose circumstances may allow only Sunday attendance, we will do our best to be clear and comprehensive.
