Aggression and the Nature of Symptoms

United States · CE points & talks · Psychologists

In this thought-provoking webinar, Dr. Adrian Perkel integrates contemporary neuroscience with psychoanalytic theory to explore the concept of the death drive and its function within the human psyche. The course examines the role of aggression in both pathological and normative contexts, particularly how it serves to bind free energy when frustration arises from unmet needs. Dr. Perkel delves into defense mechanisms and their role in automatizing patterns through regression to encoded implicit memory, leading to symptom formation. This integrative approach offers clinicians a novel perspective on formulating symptoms and psychopathology, ultimately informing and modifying treatment strategies
