TREASURES & PERILS OF THE FIRST LOVE
A CASE REPORT, JUNGIAN PERSPECTIVE
Presenter:
Robert Moradi, M.D.
Please, join us for two hours of live continuing education class on the Jungian view of the traumatic experiences of the first love. In order to address the specific aspects of this universal injury that he calls “The Trauma of Love,” Dr. Moradi presents a case report on this psychological phenomenon and the process of its treatment guided by the dreams of the patient.

“In the fortunate but rare situation in which the wound is viewed psychologically, i.e. the goddess humanized, we might begin to extract consciousness from our own pain. It is only then that the pathos of love experience can become a cornerstone for the lover’s movement towards wholeness. Unfortunately the more common consequence of the first love, and its almost universal failure, is a psychological trauma with a variety of neurotic reactions over one’s life span. “
The educational objectives of this class would be that:
At the conclusion of this presentation the participants will have gained the following understandings:
1. Interpretation of dreams in the process of treatment.
2. An approach to the treatment of a suicidal patient following failure of the first love.
