During the course of their analysis they discover that the deeper cause lies in the relationsh ip with their mother. The mother-daughter relationship is decisive for the daughter’s life choices\, as well as her development throughout her lif e. Form quite early\, the mother is the one who provides the infant with f ood\, safety\, protection and comfort.\n\nUnder which conditions\, however \, is this affectionate relationship possible to be transformed later in l ife to a field of rivalry\, jealousness\, or resentment? What is at stake behind the antagonism? Is it possible for the passionate maternal love to be harmful?\n\nAccording to psychoanalysis\, the mother is the first love- object of the daughter and\, inevitably\, the traits of this relationship will echo later in her life. This extraordinarily important relationship c arries a deep complexity. The purpose of the talk is to illuminate and exp lain the dark\, not so well known\, sides of this unique relationship\, us ing the psychoanalytic teachings of Freud and Lacan. Only if one understan ds deeply\, will be able to forgive\, feel relieved\, be liberated and mov e forward in life\, using this knowledge to her advantage.\n\n*Iro Zoubopo ulou* is a practising psychotherapist of Lacanian orientation.
