Classical psychotherapy and psychoanalysis has taught us much about the passions. Less explored are the passionless, often mindless and empty states which certain passive patients present to us. These may in some instances be the result not of a defensive or aggressive retreat but of having given up in despair or boredom. Such patients seem to be not hiding, but lost, not withdrawn but undrawn. Their internal objects seem to be unvalued rather than devalued and nothing much matters. This may affect curiosity and desire, even the desire to follow a train of thought. The workshop discusses what might be missing or underdeveloped and ways in which analytic technique may try to address these issues.
This workshop will focus mainly on the psychotherapy field, although other fields may find the discussion of interest.
