When Love Goes Awry

The Sydney Institute for Psychoanalysis is pleased to present a live webinar by Professor Karlen Lyons-Ruth.

Disorganized attachment processes have been theorized to contribute to a range of psychopathologies in adulthood. Dr. Lyons-Ruth will discuss recent longitudinal findings regarding controlling, role-confused, and disoriented forms of parent-child communication and how these varied facets of disorganized relationships may contribute differentially to young adult psychopathology, including dissociation, borderline psychopathology, and suicidality. She will also focus on distinguishing the effects of trauma and attachment in these trajectories.
