COURSE DESCRIPTION
As parents, we don’t often imagine it ideal to raise our children to act ruthlessly.  On the other hand, are we raising them to know what is worth fighting for--or rebelling against? Or, at least to be able to ask those questions on their own?

From various forms of “helicopter” or “bulldozing” parents, to being peer-ordained (and trying to sustain) "cool", to the ever-watchful eye/I of social media, parenting and social expectations can have oppressive consequences on the assertiveness and exuberance of today’s youth. Can we at least tolerate, or even provide a good foil for, youth who are becoming “good-bad” but not evil? 

This class will look at youth movements over the span of a century through various psychoanalytic and developmental perspectives to help highlight the path from ruthlessness to relatedness to relative autonomy.

LEARNING OBJECTIVE

  1. Identify the developmental path of “hate preceding love” in clinical practice.
  2. Describe in therapeutic and social terms the importance of ruthless behavior.
  3. Better understand the role of parents, therapists and society when working with - or against - youth, towards relative autonomy.
