Gayle Madeira and Sidney Grant, the 2011 USA Tango Champions, will perform Argentine tango on Saturday, February 25, 2012 at Lafayette Grill for the 21st Annual Conference of the Object Relations Institute. The theme of the conference is “Voyages Into the Internal World: Three Perspectives on Self Sabotage” and includes papers by prominent scholars and members of the Object Relations Institute as well as tango performances by Sid and Gayle. Sid will also perform tango with Dr. Susan Kavaler-Adler, Founder and Executive Director of the Object Relations Institute and an avid tango dancer.
The theme for the conference is “Voyages into the Internal World: Archetyes, Internal Objects, and Internal Saboteurs, Three Ways of Looking at Self-sabotage (with Jungian, Kleinian, and Fairbairnian Perspectives).” Dr. Michael Adams will be offering the Jungian perspective, Dr. Jack Schwartz will be offering the Fairbairnian perspective, and Dr. Susan Kavaler-Adler will be offering the Kleinian (Melanie Klein) perspective. This conference proposes to offer three profound theoretical and clinical perspectives on the collisions, collusions, and polarizations in our internal psychic world, that impede personal and communal evolution and growth. Commonalities, overlaps, and differentiating diversities of the three overarching clinical and theoretical perspectives will be discussed. Dr. Jeffrey Lewis, a distinguished Ferenczi scholar, will be the moderator of the conference and will introduce and integrate all discussions between panelists and audience and panelists. Grounding it all in the clinical and existential moment will be the linking theme among the three avenues of thought, the ever complex theme of self-sabotage that affects each and every one of us each day.
