VAPS is pleased to host Dr. Howard Levine as our presenter on Saturday, November 2 at the UVM Alumni House in Burlington. Dr. Howard Levine, our distinguished presenter from Massachusetts, will speak about the contributions of French Psychoanalyst André Green. The day will continue André Green’s attempts to understand and explore the work of the negative, the Dead Mother complex, the tension between presence and absence, loss and remainder, the creative, dialectical arc between them and their role in psychic development and the analytic process. In the morning, Dr. Levine will present a paper entitled, “From the Dead Mother to a Living Discourse.” He will present an extended clinical illustration in the afternoon.
