ETW25 - Archetypal Patterns in Fairy Tales
Section 5: The Infant within the Adult
Instructor: Liza Ravitz, PhD Dates: December 3 & 10, 2025
Description: These classes will look at how difficult circumstances and parenting of an infant live on in the emotional life of the adult. We know that often behaviors in our adult patients seem like a puzzle. Methods that a therapist may use do not seem to bring about change.
Many times, this results from not considering and analyzing the infant experiences and fantasies of our patients. Most therapists pay attention to the child within, but few examine the infant within. This course will emphasize the importance of infant experience in determining adult behavior.
We will examine this phenomenon. Through readings and discussion participants will come to better understand the importance of infancy for understanding adult behavior and the need to include a detailed history about infancy in any initial assessment.
