The morning presentation and discussion explore Jungian analytical perspectives on sexually obsessive behaviors with prostitutes, pornography, the internet and the inherent aloneness as a result. Links are made with French psychoanalyst Andre Green’s concepts of the dead mother complex and narcissism and Hester Solomon, British Jungian analyst writing on the ‘as-if’ personality. The early childhood of unprocessed and unbearable emotions are managed as an adult with these compulsive and addictive behaviors. The masculine/male pathway weaves through the inner conflicts to access the feminine and find the conjunctio within the self.
We ask what is the psyche trying to compensate and why in this way?
