Eroticism and Object Relations Theory 5/31/08

This workshop will provide an understanding of eroticism and human sexuality from an Object Relations perspective. Presenters will provide a contemporary review of the Freudian theory of sexuality from an object relational perspective. Eroticism from a Kleinian, British Middle School and Kernberg perspective will be discussed. Presenters will highlight the latest research on sexuality and discuss gender, cultural and historical issues. We will explore the latest theoretical and research developments around sexual addictions and paraphilias. There will be special emphasis on clinical issues such as transference, countertransference, resistance, assessment and developmental factors in working with issues of eroticism and sexuality.
