The conference will explore the psychic turbulence that arises in states of mind where otherness is experienced as too different, too separate, or too intrusive. Whether expressed through omnipotence, projective attack, idealisation, or the refusal or fear of another’s separate subjectivity these psychological states present challenges familiar to all psychotherapists and mental health practitioners. These ways of relating can be found in critical states of distress, but also in the subtler corners of everyday clinical work.
