| Donna Christina Savery |
In this seminar Donna Christina Savery introduces her research into echoism: a way of relating, complementary to narcissism, that she has herself brilliantly identified; named; explored; worked with therapeutically, psychoanalytically and daseinsanalytically; and sensitively described both in general terms and through detailed, compelling case studies.
Following seven years work with patients who have experienced narcissistic parenting or who find themselves in repeated relationships with narcissistic partners, she offers a new insight into narcissistic and co-dependent relationships.
Returning to the myth of Echo and Narcissus in Ovid, from which the vast array of psychoanalytic literature on narcissism originates, Donna Savery asks how and why Echo’s voice and story have become marginalised to the extent that she is simply called a co-dependent (reinforcing the very notion of dependency upon a narcissist). She explains how she has drawn upon psychoanalytic literature, existential philosophy and a daseinsanalytic approach to practice as a way of understanding this largely forgotten group of individuals. She has worked with individuals, couples and groups and presents in her book Echoism, published in 2018, the first complete theory of echoism.
