THE FRIENDS OF THE SAN FRANCISCO PSYCHOANALYTIC INSTITUTE ANNUAL LECTURE
As the close of the 20th Century is upon us, one is compelled to address the revolutionary impact
computer technology has on our intrapsychic as well as social lives.
Our panelists will be addressing such questions as;
How does the accessibility to the Internet affect
our sense of the self and human relationships_
Does the rate of growth in technology relative to other systems
contribute to psychological and social stress or does the
Internet play a role in ameliorating stress_
What are the syndromes of computer addiction and how do we
test and treat them_ Join the
Friends of the San Francisco Psychoanalytic Institute for an "interactive symposium" where we will explore and discuss the human-computer
relationship vis-à-vis the self, the other, and the culture.
