Program Description
PCC is pleased to present Dr. Margot Waddell as the keynote speaker for this year's Melanie Klein Lectureship, focusing on the challenges of adolescent development. Best known for her book,
Inside Lives: Psychoanalysis and the Growth of the Personality,
Dr. Waddell brings deep insights into the developing psyche from her training as a psychoanalyst, child analyst, and Tavistock infant observation specialist. Her new book, On Adolescence: Inside Stories, will be published by Karnac/Routledge just in time to be shared at our conference.
In her two presentations for the Klein lecture series, "A mind of one's own" and "The psychodynamics of bullying", Dr. Waddell emphasizes the nature and impact of the earliest states of mind and being of infancy and on the interlocking dynamics of internal and external worlds thereafter. The theoretical emphasis derives from Kleinian and post-Kleinian thinking, that of Bion in particular. Both lectures stress the impact of projective and introjective mechanisms from the first and the nature and origin of the container/contained relationship: the consequences of the relative strengths and weaknesses of that centrally important exchange.
In "A mind of one's own", Dr. Waddell traces in a single case history some of the main aspects of a late adolescent's troubled path towards establishing a sense of identity, a path that slowly edged him away from his narcissistic and perverse patterns of defensive behaviour, fuelled by alcohol and drugs, and towards the possibility of "living in the presence of reality", as Virginia Woolf put it.
In "The psychodynamics of bullying", she traces some of the factors that influence whether some young people are drawn towards a bullying culture, be that individual or shared; the central role of splitting and projection as primitive defenses against fear and insecurity; and the nature and functioning of an internal gang, especially in the kinds of groupings towards which people can be pulled-that is towards generating lies in the service of misunderstanding and anti-thought.
There will be plenty of time for audience discussion to deepen our learning.
Audience
MD's, Psychologists, LCSW's, MFT's, Registered Nurses, and other learners interested in developing psychoanalytic understanding.
Course Objectives
As a result of this course, participants will be able to:
1. Identify the relationship between early states of mind and adolescence;
2. Assess the shift from narcissistic and perverse defensive behavior towards "living in the presence of reality" in an adolescent;
3. Articulate three factors that influence the development of bullying in an individual or group.
