Freuds psychoanalytic discoveries emerged from his recognition that psychic anguish is the product of a mind in torment over incompatible tensions. The history of analytic thought might be conceived as a series of reassessments of exactly what constitutes those tensions. Instinct, drive, need, wish, demand, expectation, perception, emotion, all have been studied as players in the psychological drama of opposition and ambivalence.
Contemporary analysts are recasting every tenet of classical theory, and the question of conflict is no exception. In this seminar two noted theorists offer a fascinating contrast in how, even within the relational rubric, conflict may be looked at from very different perspectives. Greenberg draws upon his own relational re-conceptualization of drive theory to present a view of conflict as embedded in personal striving. Stern rests his understanding of conflict upon his expansion of the Interpersonal psychoanalytic tradition and contemporary revisions of views of mind, self and consciousness, stressing that material that is dissociated remains outside the arena of conflict. Finally, Dimen, a seminal thinker in her own right, contextualizes these differing
perspectives and provides her own vision of their implications and applications.
Educational Objectives:
1. To understand why the concept of conflict has been central to psychoanalytic thinking.
2. To appreciate how the Relational movement has led to revised views of conflict.
3. To learn about how conflict may be seen as both personal and interpersonal.
4. To develop tools for dealing with conflict in the treatment situation.
