"Enigmatic Mechanisms:
Some Reflections on Love, Affect, and Identification in Freud"
Marcus Coelen, Ph.D
Dr. Marcus Coelen will begin his talk with a passage from a letter by Freud to Jung (December 6, 1909) in which Freud contends that "healing" in psychoanalysis is a matter of "love". Dr. Coelen will then move into the perennial question of identification, the question of affect and the notion of "love" in Freud. His paper, entitled "Prolegomena to the Writing of Affect" will be made available to participants.
