| Extra Info | : | A talk by Dr Zack Eleftheriadou. Families face tremendous psychic pain when they experience the loss of a child. The experience is enduring, can remain unconscious and even impact more than one generation. The death of a child can be especially impactful for the child born after the loss, it can affect older siblings and those who are born years later. We will speculate on the impact of early loss on Freud throughout his lifetime. From his writings, he appears to have had a lifelong preoccupation with loss and death, and yet he was the most extraordinary creative thinker. In addition, reference will be made to the experiences of famous ‘replacement children’, such as J.M. Barrie, Elvis Presley, Salvador Dali, Vincent van Gogh and Carl Gustav Jung who were born in an atmosphere of profound loss and parental mourning. |
