PROGRAM

In his presentation, George Hagman will discuss the sea change that has occurred in our culture’s view of bereavement and mourning that forms the basis of his recent volume, New Models of Bereavement Theory and Treatment: New Mourning. In his talk, he will discuss the origin of the book as well as the fundamentals of New Mourning Theory. He will delineate the new psychoanalytic model of mourning that emphasizes the intersubjective context, affective diversity and multiplicity of responses to bereavement.
