This presentation will focus on the Death Mother archetype, beginning with placing the
Death Mother within the context of Neumann’s Mother archetype map and exploring
her current social and cultural manifestations, including an exploration of the various
archetypal complexes that show up in mothering (for example, the Vampire mother).
We will go on to explore the powerful impact of the Death Mother in her fullest sense at
the level of literal and psychological infanticide.
We will weave psychoanalytic infanticidal attachment theory with the Death Mother
complex as experienced within mother and child, and how to recognise and be with this
presentation in the therapy room.
