PSYCHOANALYTIC VIEWS 3 : LOST OBJECT
Psyche evolves from the object that does not exist there, it evolves from absence. In essence, isn’t psychoanalysis an experience of the absence itself? Psychoanalysts have proposed that the reason for this experience of absence is the lost object. Experiences which enable the establishment of subjectivity, i.e. separation, mourning, castration anxiety, are representations of the lost object detected in the clinical setting. When we say “representation”, aren’t we fundamentally talking about the “thing” that we have lost? Can’t we consider our representations, just like psychoanalytic theories, an effort to reunite with our objects which no-longer-exist-there?
On October 6th-7th, 2007, at the third annual Psychoanalytic Views, adult and child psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic candidates will be sharing their clinical experiences and theoretical questions by discussing the theme of Lost Object from different angles.
