Who is the analyst in Lacanian, Ego-Object relations and Self psychological approaches
December 5, 2017
Presenters: David Lichtenstein, Andrew Lotterman Jeff Halpern
Interviews by Diana Moga and Elhav Weinstein
This panel will focus on how an object relations analyst, self psychologist and Lacanian psychoanalyst differ as the one who occupies the analytic object for the patient. Psychoanalysis has progressively come to favor similarities, blurring differences among various psychoanalytic schools of thought despite the conflictual debates among their predecessors. In this panel, by asking specific questions about each presenter’s work, Diana Moga and Elhav Weinstein will focus on delineating the differences among these theoretical approaches. Clinical material will be presented by way of illustration.
