The internet is having a psychologically profound, reverberating impact on contemporary human relationships. How is the virtual world of internet relationships impacting our therapeutic work with patients? This conference focuses on various psychological aspects of internet relating and connecting and the impact of the internet on human experience, attachments, and sexuality. Panelists will present psychoanalytic theory and clinical material that illustrates their experiences treating relationship issues in adolescents, adults, and couples. Topics include: virtual and simulated attachments, introductions, dating, hooking-up, and cruising, internet affairs and betrayals in couples, the unfolding of relational intimacy, communication, and sexuality in adolescence, and the impact of virtual modes of relating on the therapeutic relationship. Presentations will also include theoretical views of sexuality from traditional and contemporary psychoanalytic and cultural perspectives.
