Mother In Mourning, Daughter In Pain: From Essential Depression To Sexuality
Dr. Anzieu-Premmereur will present the analytic journey of an 8-y old girl who suffered from years-long severe eczema on her face and limbs, and the work undertaken with her parents. She will describe how the psychoanalytic process with her young patient entailed an evolution from what Pierre Marty called essential depression, to sexuality.
