Our upcoming IARPP Fall colloquium will run from November 11-22, 2020, and we will discuss Steven Stern’s “Airless World: Sequelae of Identification with Parental Negation”.

In this rich paper, Steve interweaves a variety of theoretical strands into his own unique integration, extending his self-psychologically informed ideas about “needed” relationships. The article is intellectually challenging and clinically accessible; we are hoping it will engage broad participation across the IARPP community.

We have assembled a diverse group of panelists who can speak to Steve’s ideas and converse with one another from multiple perspectives: Alessandro Cavelzani (Italy); Simona Caprilli (Italy); Heather Ferguson (USA); Peter Kaufmann (USA); John Kearney (Australia); Juan Tubert Oklander (Mexico); Deborah Waxenberg (USA); Momi Beinart (Israel).

We anticipate that we will have a lively debate that allows for comparison and contrast, while maintaining a sense of curiosity, mutual respect, and inclusiveness.

As usual, the paper will be made available to all members of the community in advance. We look forward to reconvening soon.
