ABOUT THE CONFERENCEOverview of Love and HateBy Dr. Gerd H. Fenchel

In this overview Dr. Fenchel will examine love and hate as dimensions of attach-ment which were explored by Freud, Modern Analysts, Object Relational and Contemporary Theorists. An imbalance in either direction may lead to psycho-logical problems which interfere with forming stable attachments throughout life. Dr. Fenchel finds that one can only live fully when they embrace both affective states and that both good and bad attachments helps one navigate in this world. He will explore how fear and lonliness contribute to one’s search for a significant other.

Presentations:

The Psychopathology of Love RelationsBy Otto Kernberg, MD

This presentation will explore preconditions for the capacity of a mature love relationship, and the diagnostic evaluation of problems that interfere with it. An outline of dominant inhibitions in an individual patient will be followed by a diagnostic frame to evaluate sexual couples. The psychoanalytic treatment of relevant individual psychopathology will be summarized briefly, followed by an outline of psychoanalytic couple’s theory. In this review, relevant issues to be examined will include the development of a couple’s autonomous value system, the question of power struggles as a dominant symptom, conventionally and sexual freedom, and the viability of romantic love.

Projective Identification, Countertransfer-ence, Technique: A Meditation on Love and Hate. By Ronald Okuaki Lieber, MFA, LP

Projective identification is a concept that opened the field of psychoanalysis. Countertransference, once seen as an impediment to treatment, is now viewed across all schools of psychoanalysis as a valuable tool. Both of these are involved in the treatment of the narcissistic disorders and have implications for treatment. Furthermore, they invoke the notions of love, hate, creativity, and personal idiom. This presentation explores and meditates on the links that bind them.

WHO SHOULD ATTENDPsychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, licensed psychoanalysts, nurses, marriage/family counselors, EAP and HMO clinicians.
