"Imperfect Love, Imperfect Lives: Reflections on the Elusive Connection between Sexuality and Intimacy"
October 4, 2013
Though Freud's analytic ideals of optimal functioning in love and work still stand worth striving for, analysts must remember that what is "ideal" for one patient is not ideal for another..
Analysts must be careful about imposing personal and/or theoretical values or aims on patients..
though they often do this in the dimension of Love.
Optimal sexual pleasure and intimate companionship with the same person is not easy to implement for most patients and analysts alike..
When analysts try to impose ideals that they themselves might not reach or even strive for can create conflict with patients' pursuit of their own unique individuality and modes of personal relatedness...
Presented by Dr. Irwin Hirsch, distinguished faculty member of the William Alanson White Institute, Manhattan Institute for Psychoanalysis and NYU Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis: editorial board of Contemporary Psychoanalysis: Psychoanalytic Dialogues; Psychoanalytic Perspectives; author of more than 75 articles , chapters and reviews and 2008 Goethe Award winning book, Coasting in the Countertransference: Conflicts of Self Interest between Analyst and Patient ( Routledge)...
