This course has filled.

Sex, Death and the Superego: Experiences in Psychoanalysis

In this recent book, Ron Britton, a British psychoanalyst in the object relations tradition, explores his experience working in psychoanalysis and what he has come to see as most important. We will read selected chapters from his book on these topics of sex, death and the superego. Britton especially explores the erotic transference-countertransference experience and the problem of the destructive superego. Please contact the instructor to enroll.
