1983 has been a year characterised by steady work within the Society and by the training of candidates.
In this year, we have had the pleasure of welcoming a series of guest lecturers to the Society, mostly colleagues from the other Scandinavian countries. Some of our candidates have also read papers.
In January Dr. Martin Lotz talked on “The object world of Hans Christian Andersen”. This paper has been published in vol. 6, no. 1 of this journal.
In February, Dr. Birgitta Ejve came from Stockholm and read a paper entitled: “Disturbances in the ability to verbalize and metaphorical thinking as defence against early depression”. The lecture was based on clinical material from patients in late adolescence and post-adolescence. A slightly modified version of the lecture is published in this journal vol. 6, no. 2.
In March, Dr. Marion Burgner from London held a lecture entitled “Oedipus revisited: some effects on development of an absent father”. The following day, Dr. Burgner held a seminar for our candidates.
Dr. Thorkil Sørensen presented himself to the Society in April with the lecture: “Sado-masochism in a neurotic and perverse organisation.”
In May, Professor Heinz Henseler from Tubingen gave a lecture entitled “On the psychodynamics of suicide”. The following day, Professor Henseler supervised some material presented by one of our candidates.
