From Oedipus Complex to Oedipal Complexity Reconfiguring the Negative Oedipus Complex

In this presentation, I would like to take up the challenge of unyoking body and desire specifically, emphasizing the endless complexity and infinite variability of our erotic selves. My aim is to attempt to reconceptualize positive and negative Oedipal configurations of identification and counteridentification, not as specific phases of childhood sexual development, but as a lifelong struggle to sustain erotic, romantic, sexual attachments across the life cycle. I am returning to Freud’s early observation that human beings are all essentially bisexual, and attempting to radicalize this statement by delinearizing it and removing from it any normative developmental template for gender identity or sexual orientation. In such a way I hope to adapt my kaleidoscope of dynamically interacting self/other configurations into a somewhat different kaleidoscope of dynamically interacting erotic self/other paradigms, which move between foreground and background of sexual fantasy, imagination and action.

STAYING ALIVE: THE THERAPIST
AND THE NON-REFLECTIVE PATIENT

Saturday, May 14, 2011

Presenter: Nancy H. Wolf, L.C.S.W.
This clinical workshop will consider how an analyst can stay emotionally and psychologically alive in the room with a non-reflective and at times, non-communicative patient.  Patients like this may be unable to access their emotional life or may do so only with difficulty. They resist contact with the therapist that might elicit emotions, fearing that such contact holds the possibility of danger and psychological collapse: Yet it may be their only hope.  What can the therapist do when the patient constructs a middle ground or holding pattern, coming to sessions but engaging in attacks on both understanding and meaning, depriving the therapist of mental food for thought — and therefore of the necessary associative material which makes the work possible?  The workshop will focus on the clinical situation and the dynamics between patient and therapist and will draw on the seminal thinking of Wilfred R. Bion, Esther Bick, and Anne Alvarez.

Nancy H. Wolf, L.C.S.W. is a Faculty Member and Supervisor in The Metropolitan Institute for Training in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy’s Adult Program. She is Past President of The New York Freudian Society and Faculty, Training and Supervising Analyst at The Psychoanalytic Institute of the New York Freudian Society. She has a particular interest in developmental trauma and the effects of early anxieties on thinking.
