Presidential Symposium: Minding the Markets: How Psychoanalysis Can Help to Build New Economics and Finance Thinking

Speakers: Robert A. Johnson, MA, PhD (Exec Director of the Institute of New Economic Thinking); Professor David Tuckett (London, England); Warren R. Procci, MD, President (Pasadena, CA)

APsaA’s international colleague, David Tuckett, has sought to contribute to the development of a new field of “emotional finance” with a specific interest in understanding the recent and continuing financial crisis. Human emotion has a critical impact on financial markets and, until very recently, economic theories have failed to take this into account. At the heart of the worst financial crisis in decades is a failure to organize markets in a way that puts controls on the very human emotion and behavior which trading unleashes. Robert Johnson and David Tuckett each speak on this subject and then lead a discussion concerning how psychological and psychoanalytic concepts can offer considerable assistance in understanding the sometimes irrational behavior of people and markets.

Speakers: David Konstan, PhD, Professor, Department of Classics, New York University; Elizabeth Brobrick, PhD, Visiting Scholar, Wesleyan University; Chairs & Melvin R. Lansky, MD (Los Angeles, CA); Leon Wurmser, MD (Towson, MD)

The inquiries posed by the presenters in this forum pave the way for a psychoanalytic inquiry into the character’s identity of the hero and his relationship to the dramatic forces in these plays which set these tragedies in relentless motion toward their fateful outcomes. Two distinguished scholar-teachers, David Konstan, PhD, Professor in the Department of Classics at NYU, and Elizabeth Brobrick, PhD, a Visiting Scholar with Wesleyan University, provide interpretative comments for the audience, while Melvin Lansky and Leon Wurmser moderate the follow-up discussion with the audience.

Community Symposium: Psychodynamic Explorations of Power, Gender, and Identity in Twenty First Century - Variants of the “Black Nanny — White Master” Syndrome

Speakers: Dorothy E. Holmes, PhD (Bluffton, SC); Carlotta G. Miles, MD (Washington, DC); Bruce Sklarew, MD (Chevy Chase, MD)

The black nanny caring for white babies in oppressive, racist contexts was a common occurrence in our culture up to the civil rights era. The psychodynamics of the black nanny’s impact on the identities of the whites reared in those circumstances are considered. The modern extensions of that history is manifest in nannies/au pairs of color from the Caribbean and Africa, and whites from Europe in their rearing of children in both Black and White families. Clinical data to illuminate psychodynamics of power, sexuality, defenses, and identity formation played out in these modern day expressions are presented. Implications for other relationships in our society with obvious power differentials that may or may not involve differences in color (e.g., the bank teller in relation to his/her employer and/or customer) are discussed.

Scientific Paper Prize for Psychoanalytic Research: Changes of brain activation pre- post short-term psychodynamic inpatient psychotherapy: An fMRI study of panic disorder patients

Speakers: Manfred E. Beutel, MD, (Mainz, Germany); Jerald Kay, MD (Dayton, OH); Barbara Milrod, MD (New York, NY)

A number of neuro-imaging studies have shown that effective psychotherapy also affects brain function. Based on a brief review of pertinent methods and previous findings, the first functional MRI study assessing panic disorder patients before and after psychodynamic therapy are presented. The results indicate psychodynamic treatment leads to changes in fronto-limbic circuitry, similar to previous findings on cognitive-behavioral treatments. In the analyses of long-term follow-up data, evidence further shows that the change in amygdala reactivity is predictive of improvement 3 years post-treatment. Opportunities and limitations of the application of neuro-imaging technologies in psychotherapy research are discussed.
