| | | APSA_NY12-203 | | Candidates' Forum: Developing Psychoanalytic Cases and the Candidates Who Will Work with Them Speakers: Elizabeth Brett, PhD (Woodbridge, CT); Allan Frosch, PhD (New York, NY); Alan Z. Skolnikoff, MD (San Francisco, CA); Moderator: Phoebe A. Cirio, MSW, LCSW (St. Louis, MO); Arden Rothstein, PhD (New York, NY) This session discusses approaches to helping candidates develop psychoanalytic cases, while experiencing a sense of agency and preserving morale. Following Dr. Rothstein’s presentation of an individualized tutorial program that she initiated, and her study of its impact upon participants, panel members convey their institutes’ approaches to case and candidate development. Subjective factors in assessment of analyzability — e.g., the match of candidate and analysand, and differences in supervisory perspective — are considered.

| | | APSA_NY12-302 | | Research Symposium: Parental Mentalizing in Action: Verbal and Embodied Parental Mentalizing in Theory and Clinical Practice Speakers: Dana Shai, PhD (Herzliya, Israel); Arietta Slade, PhD (New York, NY); Nancy E. Suchman, PhD (New Haven, CT); Mary Target, PhD (London, England); Robert J. Waldinger, MD (West Newton, MA) Parental mentalizing is a significant factor shaping the infant’s socio-emotional development and is the focus of this symposium. Two papers focus on intervention programs designed to enhance parental mentalizing in high risk families — Minding the Baby and Mothering from the Inside Out, including results of randomized controlled trial studies demonstrating the efficacy of these interventions. The third paper will introduce Parental Embodied Mentalization — a method of observational assessment involving the scrutiny of the whole-body nonverbal interactive process between mothers and infants that predicts attachment security. This session explores how parental mentalizing can enhance children’s socio-emotional wellbeing. | | MP3 | | $10.00 | | $10.00 | |
