See all- Exploring the Boundaries of Personality: A Psychoanalytical PerspectiveKirche Bühl, ZürichCHF 12.00
What defines the boundaries of our personality? Are they rigid walls or permeable membranes shaped by unconscious forces and relationships?
Join us for a discussion delving into the psychoanalytical view of personality. Drawing from the works of Freud, Klein, and Winnicott, we’ll explore how early experiences, defense mechanisms, and societal norms shape who we are and where we draw the line between "self" and "other."
This session will cover concepts like the unconscious mind, object relations, and the dynamic interplay of internal and external influences on identity. Whether you're a psychology enthusiast or curious about the human psyche, join us for an engaging journey into the boundaries of personality.
