ANNOUNCING NEW ARTICLES

by Susan Kavaler-Adler, Ph.D., ABPP, NPsyA, D.Litt.

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.
