with Franco Scabiollo
Franco Scabbiolo, of Oxford, UK, will be coming to Seattle June 1st, 2nd, and 3rd to give three talks at COR on his original concepts, the Internal Object of Abandonment and the Creative Conflict.
Scabbiolo’s Creative Psychoanalytic Process suggests that at the heart of transition, transformation, and creativity in analysis is a creative sensation, an innate impulse that, when fostered and allowed to thrive, changes both patient and analyst. This impulse allows for both individuals, and their internal objects, to develop the freedom to create. Scabbiolo suggests that this creative sensation is present in the analytic process from the very beginning and can be found in fields of dreams, transference and countertransference, artwork, children’s play, and events. However, when this sensation is trapped inside the Internal Object of Abandonment, negativity and a compulsion to repeat occurs, leaving the patient and analyst stuck, as they hide in fear of creating and experiencing new emotions. Liberation from the feelings of abandonment is going to be explored in three dimensions:
Feeling the feelings of abandonment
The process of forgiveness of abandonment
The language of creativity
Franco will also expand on the implications of the following thought which came to him in a session with one of his patients:
The heart can forgive
The mind cannot forgive
When the mind begins to forgive
Wo-men became wise and creative.
– Franco Scabbiolo
