SPOTLIGHT
ANNOUNCING NEW ARTICLES by Susan Kavaler-Adler, Ph.D., ABPP, NPsyA, D.Litt. “Seduction, Date Rape, and Aborted Surrender” – in the International Forum of Psychoanalysis, Fall 2009, pp. 1-12 “An Object Relations Perspective on ‘Phantom of the Opera’ and Its Demon Lover Theme: The Modern Film” - in the American Journal of Psychoanalysis, 2009, 69 (2), pp. 150-166. These articles are related to Dr. Kavaler-Adler’s three well known books on British and American object relations theory, and her 56 other journal articles and edited book chapters. The themes of “Developmental Mourning” versus the “Demon Lover Complex” are seen in perspective with Freud and the British Object Relations Theorists in Dr. Kavaler-Adler’s 2004 National Gradiva Award-winning book Mourning, Spirituality, and Psychic Change: A New Object Relations View of Psychoanalysis (Routledge, 2003). This book was translated into Korean by The Object Relations Psychotherapy Institute in Seoul, South Korea, and it is taught in Korea and England, as well as in United States. Two other books by Dr. Kavaler Adler (published by Routledge) provide deep exploration on well-known women artists and writers, and the themes of developmental mourning & the demon lover complex, related to addiction to eroticized bad object. * * *

************************************************************* NEWS !!! SELF SABOTAGE, Fear of SUCCESS and Fear of ENVY Experiential & Support Group is forming NOW! Time: Mondays, 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm Started on January 18th, 2010 – as 12-week workshop with further development into an on-going group Location: 115 East 9th Street (@ 3rd ave), 12P, New York NY 10003 In this group, I will help participants to understand the underpinnings of self sabotage, fear of envy, and fear of success in both their patients and in themselves, by helping them to understand the unconscious loyalties that bind them to patterns of self sabotage. Participants of this group will have a unique opportunity to look into their internal world experiences during the psychic guided visualization. Participants will be encouraged to share their experiences and develop a group bond to aid each other in working with their fears and conflicts. ****************************** Continuing Monthly Therapy & Support Group with Emphasis on the Individual MOURNING, GRIEF, & PSYCHIC CHANGE Process: Opening Blocks to Love and Creativity Meets 1st Saturday of the month, from September through June Time: 12pm – 4pm Location: 115 East 9th Street (@ 3rd ave), 12P, New York NY 10003 Participants of this group help one another with deepening their awareness of defensive processes that block psychic surrender, and therefore block the capacities to connect, both with one's internal deeper self for creative self-expression, and with others - for love and intimacy.

The role of the “holding environment” and the role of the analyst as a “transitional object” (Winnicott) will be implicit, as well as “object survival” (Winnicott) and the internalization capacity opened up by the mourning process that allows for the “the capacity to be alone” and “the capacity for concern” (Winnicott) to develop.
