| Extra Info | : | Speakers: Becky Hall Elizabeth Gib David Taylor Ronald Britton, Karen Yirmiya, and Peter Fonagy All living things - plants as well as animals - have life cycles that are finite. Human beings are no exception. What makes us different is self-awareness: we remember a past and anticipate a future. Developmental phases and the generations extend and overlap. Yet, birth is the indisputable prototype for a new beginning, as death is that for ending. Because of the enormous power of the feelings evoked by these, the geological facts of life, their reverberation affects every level of our being. Every birth signifies previous births, every loss, final loss. This UCL Conference examines the psychology of beginnings and endings in psychoanalytic depth. |
