Inside the cyberspace: searching for split off parts of the self

With Andrea Marzi in dialogue with Alessandra Cavalli

Andrea Marzi will present his work with people addicted to the internet. Using clinical vignettes of his work with one patient in particular, he will explore the consequences of virtual reality in the analytical field. He will give thoughts to how cyberspace sets unconscious phantasy free.  He will show how his patient was able to integrate split off parts of his self, that he thought lost in the cyberspace.
