Download or read book Three Faces of Mourning written by Salman Akhtar and published by Jason Aronson. This book was released on 2006-11 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This small volume comprises primarily papers presented in 2001 at the 32nd Annual Margaret S. Mahler Symposium on Child Development in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Mourning and the importance of the capacity to bear some helplessness, while still finding pleasure in life, are central to this tightly organized volume. The multi-faceted processes involved in mourning and adaptation are addressed. Expectably, Mahler's conceptual contributions are liberally referenced throughout the volume - separation individuation, libidinal object constancy, the unavoidable losses of developmental changes, and mourning of the loss of one-ness. In keeping with the design of the symposium, the book is organized around four primary chapters (presentations), each followed by a discussion chapter. The unifying theme is mourning of the loss of a primary object, either early in life or in adulthood.
