Yearning to be Known: Individuation and the Broken Wings of Eros - Ursula Wirtz, Dr. phil.

How does the absence or abuse of Eros influence our I-Thou relationships—also within the analytic consulting room? How does its repudiation shape the transformative journey of individuation? How might we mend the broken wings of Eros, the soul?
