It is our pleasure to invite you to the 6th Summer School of Psychoanalysis, organized by the Psychoanalytical Society of Serbia in cooperation with the European Psychoanalytical Federation, titled:
Metamorphoses of Love: Psychoanalytical Perspective
In his famous essay where he was exploring the possibilities for human happiness, Freud wrote: “We are never so defenseless agains suffering as when we love.” However, there are very few people who would voluntarily give up love which only speaks to its deeply, perennially enigmatic nature. In the course of this School, our intention is to follow the beginnings and metamorphoses of love, from the prenatal period through early childhood and adolescence, to love in mature adulthood. We will examine parental functions in love as well as its connection with intimacy, sexuality, and grieving; we will also talk about the characteristics of love in the present day otherwise known as “post-human” age, about love and hate in the psychoanalytic setting, and about love for the profession of a psychoanalyst.
We invite you to join us in exploration of this important topic through lectures, case study presentations, discussion and supervised groups.
Summer School Dates and Location:
September 18 – 22, 2019
Hotel Divčibare
Surrounded by a coniferous forest, Hotel Divčibare is located in the heart of a climate health resort and offers exceptional views of not only parts of the Maljen mountain massif and its close surroundings but of far regions of Serbia as well. Thanks to fresh and dry winds coming from the Mediterranean, Divčibare is a unique climate health resort where the human body recovers four times faster from cardiovascular, pulmonary and blood diseases. It is an interesting fact that the temperatures in the fall are higher than those in the spring, so you can enjoy the month of September and catch some more sun. Besides its pleasant ambient, the hotel’s amenities include relax club with a spa and fitness zone, athletic courts and a hiking trail, which leads to the highest mountain peak at an altitude of 1095 meters.
