Moving beyond popular discussions of the "mother wound," this workshop explores how early disruptions in maternal functioning shape the developing psyche and how unresolved idealization of the personal mother may interfere with mourning, differentiation, and the consolidation of a cohesive self.
Participants will learn to distinguish between the personal mother, the internal maternal selfobject, and the maternal archetype while exploring the developmental tasks of de-idealization, withdrawal of archaic projection, and internal maternal repair. Clinical illustrations and theoretical integration provide a nuanced framework for understanding both the origins of maternal injury and the symbolic processes through which healing unfolds.
