Psychoanalytic Thoughts about “My Dinner with Andre” By John Rosegrant, PhD (Psychoanalytic Explorations)

Participants will view and discuss the movie “My Dinner with Andre.” In this movie, two old friends talk about their life experiences and ideas about art in ways that encapsulate two fundamental approaches to existence: the romantic/Dionysian, and the classical/Apollonian. These different approaches have developmental roots in infancy and express very different self-states. The vicissitudes of these self-states affect individuals’ narcissistic equilibrium throughout the life span.

Note: because the movie is almost two hours long, we have extended the time for this program by thirty minutes to allow time for discussion.

Learning Objectives:

• 1. Recognize the different characteristics of Objective Self-Awareness and Subjective Self-Awareness.
• 2. Deepen understanding of clinical interactions of Objective and Subjective Self-Awareness.
