A Psychoanalytic Exploration of Overwhelming Emotion
The work of Bion and Meltzer
Recorded Saturday 17 December 2022
With Avner Bergstein and Judy Eekhoff
CPD Credits: 3 hours
Our speakers will delve into unrepresentable, ineffable and often unknowable realms of the human mind. Primarily drawing on the thinking of Bion and Meltzer, our speakers Judy Eekhoff and Avner Bergstein will take us into the privacy of their consulting rooms, and the encounter with emotional experience that cannot be verbally communicated and dynamically interpreted but must first be lived in the here and now of the analytic setting.
READ MORE...Patients whose thinking and dreaming capacities are deficient compel us to find new ways for getting in touch with an overwhelming, unverbalisable emotional reality. We are called upon to reach into deeper levels of our own psychic functioning and rely on our psychoanalytic trained intuition in order to make contact with the patient’s as yet unmentalised emotional experience. Thus, we might expand the patient’s and our own capacity to tolerate the pain entailed in the struggle to truthfully apprehend reality.
