Abstract-« The Too Muchness of Excitement »: a relational view on sexuality and affect regulation
Dr. Galit Atlas will present her contemporary -relational thinking on sexuality. Atlas, the author of The Enigma of Desire and of Dramatic Dialogue (co-authored with Lewis Aron), focuses on the relation between sexuality and attachment, both as separate and related phenomenon.
The clinical case presented will discuss the « too muchness » of excitement and its relation to desire. It will address difficulties around the modulation of excitement and focus on the developmental trajectory of sexuality, including classic themes of overstimulation, seduction and betrayal in the early relationship to the mother. Particular attention will be given to the details of clinical work with overtly sexual material and with the analyst’s own sexual subjectivity.
