The presenter will read from her memoir-in-progress, Googling for Ghosts. She will discuss details of a unique form of therapy that her father, Joachim Flescher, also a psychiatrist and a psychoanalyst, developed in the 1960’s. He called it “Dual Therapy,” as it consisted of alternating sessions with a male and a female therapist. Additionally, she will review her father’s life story and offer her analysis of why he came to develop “dual therapy.” The perennial ambivalence she has felt towards her father comes across in her writing. He was brilliant but narcissistic and controlling. He died when she was twenty-three, but he continues to cast a very long shadow. Her memoir aims to be at once a loving memorialization of his life and works, but also an exorcism.

Learning Objectives: After attending the presentation, participants will be able to
– Describe the process of disidentifying with a narcissistic parent.
– Describe how dual therapy was developed in reaction to the too-rigid classical analytic technique in the 50’s-60’s.
– Describe why radical care addresses the problems associated with hope.
