In this seminar, Andrew Balfour will explore some of the challenges of ageing and of working with clients who are facing death. As is often remarked, it is powerfully the case that in our end is our beginning – as the anxieties of our earliest lives may be powerfully rekindled by the vulnerability and prospect of dependence on others that the end of life can bring. This seminar will focus on the impact of illness, such as dementia, and other possible fates of late life, on our relationships.
Gain an understanding of the psychological challenges associated with ageing and end-of-life care
Offer a psychoanalytic perspective on the rekindling of anxieties from earlier life stages due to vulnerability and dependence on others in old age
Explore the impact of illnesses such as dementia on relationships and caregiving dynamics
