Reflections on the Oedipal Strivings of Four to Six Year Old Children

and Different Forms of Sensuality and Sexuality in the Love Life of Adults.

In the morning session, Dr. Lichtenberg will present his understanding of the distinction between sensuality and sexuality by discussing the origins of love in early development.  He will address this distinction by specifically applying it to the period of the four to six year old child.  He will then turn to adult experiences and take up the themes and different strategies of attachment love, romantic love, lustful love, lust without love, and transference love in adult life.

In the afternoon, MPC Candidate in Adult Psychoanalysis, Reena Liberman, M.S.
will present a clinical case to Dr. Lichtenberg for his response and discussion.
