Colloquium:
Treating Development Crises in Young Adults
11:45 Am - 1:30 PM Room 914
The papers in this colloquium address the complex treatment process of working through developmental crises in young adults.
"How Can That Be Me?":
Developmental Disruption in a Young Adult
Marsha Levy-Warren, Ph.D.
A college student cannot sleep for days on end. What soon emerges is that he is in the throes of a manic psychotic break; and a diagnosis of bipolar disorder. How does this formerly steady, successful young man integrate this experience into his sense of himself? This presentation addresses this from developmental and clinical standpoints.
All But Dissertation (ABD)/All But Parricide (ABP):
The Renegotiation of the Parent-Child Relationship in Young Adulthood and the Role of the Analyst's Narcissism.
Christopher Bonovitz, Ph.D.
This paper addresses recurring developmental crises during young adulthood, detailing a young adult patient's struggle to rework attachment in light of parental narcissistic vulnerabilities and dependencies. Using Loewald's work, the project of symbolically "killing off the parent" and the process of mourning in order for psychic reorganization will be discussed. The analyst's emerging subjectivity and narcissistic vulnerability will be considered in relation to the case material.
Come and learn about the innovative psychoanalytic training at NYU Postdoc and engage with us in discussing the complexities of the treating developmental crises in young adults
