Course Overview Managing loss is a complicated and intense process and one of the key issues that brings people, either directly or indirectly, into treatment. This course will explore some of the most tenacious moments in managing loss: those who are ambivalent about separating, odes to the dead mother (and the dead father), those who are the receptacles for other's unprocessed loss, and those who try to protect themselves from managing the pain by cutting themselves off from any real, alive feeling within. We will discuss some of the seminal ideas about mourning and loss and then look at its clinical impact with both child and adult patients. Using key analytic papers, clinical examples, and film, we will begin to lay out the treacherous terrain of pain and loss utilizing writings by Bion, Freud, Green, Meltzer, and Winnicott.
