After attending this session, participants should be able to:

Describe the differences between shame and guilt.
Describe the process of mourning as a reintegration of dissociated desires that were once disillusioned.

About the Workshop:

In this workshop, Dr. Shahad will use a psychoanalytic-existential framework to describe how the active freedom of healthy development becomes inhibited by trauma and its aftermath of shame. He will describe the origins of shame and how shame leads to problems of adult passivity, such as self-pity, resentment, envy, and ultimately regret for life’s opportunities that were missed. He will then address the clinical issues of mourning and respect for the patient as a human agent.
