Pre-Forum Reading Group

Please join us on March 6th at 1:00 pm in a pre-forum reading group to prepare for the upcoming March 20th program with Linda Emanuel, MD. entitled, "Facing Mortality Through a Psychoanalytic Lens". 
 
We will be reading a chapter by Dr. Emanuel, on the topic of psychodynamic contributions to palliative care patients and their family members, from the upcoming book “Applying Psychoanalysis to Medical Care” edited by Harvey Schwartz. We will take up questions pertinent to her March lecture such as how to provide patients a way to talk about death; her concept of existential maturity; and the relevance of psychoanalytic concepts such as meaning-making, trauma as disruption, attachment and transitional space as well as the limits of our understanding and capacity as therapists in the face of death.
