When:  Friday evening October 5 & Saturday October 6, 2012

Where: Nesholm Family Lecture Hall at Seattle Center, Seattle, WA

Throughout history, women have been experienced as objects of adoration, attraction, and horror. This conference brings together an internationally distinguished group of female psychoanalysts to examine iconic images of women in art and literature, as well as intrapsychic images of women in clinical material. We will explore what these images tell us about unconscious perceptions of women, and the powerful impact they have on how women experience themselves throughout the life cycle.
