| | | APSA_NY13-500 | | Panel IV: Mourning, Identity, Creativity Speakers: Adele Tutter, Otto F. Kernberg, Anna Ornstein, Leon Wurmser, Jeanine M. Vivona, Tehela Nimroody Having come a long way from Freud’s circumscribed process of libidinal detachment, mourning is now considered a potentially life-long process that includes not only the grieving of loved ones, but also the grieving of developmental stages (e.g., childhood) and components of identity (e.g., ideals and illusions). At the same time, mourning is increasingly appreciated as a powerful inaugurator of personal growth and creative and vocational productivity. This panel brings together leading thinkers who have made important recent contributions to this topic. Through interactive dialogue with the discussant and the audience, they attempt a fresh synthesis of the complex, universal, and transformative processes of mourning. This panel was originally proposed by Adele Tutter, M.D., Ph.D. | | MP3 | | $20.00 | | $20.00 | |
