Panel IV: Siblings, Identity Development and Clinical Process

Speakers: Rosemary Balsam, MD (New Haven, CT); Christine C. Kieffer, PhD (Chicago, IL); Jeanine M. Vivona, PhD (Philadelphia, PA); Joseph D. Lichtenberg, MD (Bethesda, MD); Salman Akhtar, MD (Ardmore, PA); Reporter: Gabriel Ruiz, MA, LCPC (Chicago, IL)

This panel examines the influence of siblings on identity development from multiple theoretical perspectives. The objective of the panel is to expand theoretical and clinical appreciation for the lifelong developmental contributions of siblings. The panelists focus in particular upon the impact of sibling recognition in the construction of identity as well as explore the contributions of “psychoanalytic siblings,” that is, those other patients, seen and unseen, may contribute to the elaboration of transference themes and transference/counter-transference enactments. Finally, the panel focuses on how those without biological siblings may seek sibling equivalents, particularly in the course of treatment. Each panelist contributes a short clinical vignette to illustrate these themes.

Scientific Paper 5: : The Dignity of the Thing: Lacan’s Ethics of Sublimation

Speakers: Author: Mari Ruti, PhD (Toronto, Canada)

This paper illustrates why Lacan’s theory of sublimation — of raising an ordinary object into “the dignity of the Thing” — introduces a code of ethics that enables the individual to resist dominant social norms. This alternative ethical code is not a matter of deliberating on the rightness or wrongness of actions, but rather of following the thread of one’s desire even when doing so proves socially inconvenient. Because it allows the individual to create space for desires, values, and patterns of appreciation that reach beyond the “reality principle” of the collectivity, it functions as an effective antidote to contemporary nihilism.

Scientific Paper 1: : 9/11And the India/Pakistan Partition: Trauma and Dissociation

Speakers: Alan Roland, PhD (New York, NY), Author

This paper adds new dimensions to the understanding of trauma and dissociation by exploring personal and patients’ reactions to the experience of 9/11, and by in-depth interviews with a Jain Indian family caught in a train massacre in 1947 during the India/Pakistan Partition. For the former, the emotional resonance of 9/11 feelings of catastrophe with a traumatic visual/emotional dissociated memory from 18 months old enabled it to surface; while for the latter, the train massacre and disappearance of the two youngest siblings has had ripple effects not only inter-generationally but throughout the family.
