Seminar 3: Losing the Mouth
This seminar considers the experience that some children and adults have of losing parts of their mouth when they realise that they are separate from the caregiver; this can sometimes be accompanied by physical manifestations such as bleeding.

Seminar 3: Losing the Mouth
In this series of seminars, we will consider various manifestations of existential anxieties, which are to do with survival and which are manifested on the level of the body. We will also discuss how such anxieties can underlie a range of other problems, both in children and in adults; and how, instead of being walled off (encapsulated), they can come to be integrated into the personality.
