This workshop will help the participants to explore how time experienced as an internal holding object emerges within internal potential space, allowing one living "in the moment" and "eternal now" moment. Topics of time as psychic dialectic between linear /mortality / persecutory time and "in the moment" /non-linear/ "holding" time, and the intersubjective dialogue between potential time and potential space - will be discussed.
In the experiential part of this workshop, Dr. Kavaler-Adler will employ a guided psychic visualization approach to promote internal world dialogues that address these challenges related to persecutory time, fears of mortality, and self-sabotage. She will help each workshop participant to discover the emerging improvisation of the “rest of their lives.” She will help them both dialogue with their time-oriented goals, and to relinquish control over their mental agendas, so that the improvisations of the latter parts of their lives can play themselves out in the organic flow of time.
Dr. Kavaler-Adler will help participants tune into their resistances to surrendering to the organic flow of time, so that “deadlines” can become an improvisational part of the dance of life, rather than intrusions from linear time that are felt as persecutory and deadening. A group process generally emerges through sharing these internal dialogues. This psychic visualization process is employed by Dr. Kavaler-Adler in her monthly intensive psychotherapy and mourning group for the past 18 years.
Bio: Dr. Susan Kavaler-Adler is in a psychologist and psychoanalyst in private practice of 38 years, working with individuals and groups. She is the founder of the Object Relations Institute for Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis in New York City, where she has served for 23 years as executive director, training analyst, senior supervisor, and faculty member. She is also a prolific author who has published 5 books and over 60 articles, and has 11 awards for her writing. Her books are: The Compulsion to Create: Women Writers and Their Demon Lovers (Routledge 1993, Other Press 2000); The Creative Mystique: From Red Shoes Frenzy to Love and Creativity (Routledge 1996); Mourning, Spirituality and Psychic Change: A New Object Relations View of Psychoanalysis (Routledge, 2003, winner of the National Gradiva Award from NAAP); The Anatomy of Regret: From Death Instinct to Reparation and Symbolization in Vivid Case Studies (Karnac, 2013); and Klein-Winnicott Dialectic: New Transformative Metapsychology and Interactive Clinical Theory (Karnac, 2013, in press). Her internationally known psychoanalytic object relations theories are on “developmental mourning” and the “demon-lover complex.” Dr. Kavaler-Adler integrates psychoanalytic work on creativity, spiritual self-evolution, self-sabotage, and erotic transference with mourning as a developmental process, and addresses the addictions to bad/ traumatic eroticized objects that forestall mourning.
