| | | APSA_NY12-304 | | Symposium I: El Sistema/Abreu Fellows, and Psychoanalysis: Beyond the Concert Hall and Consulting Room Speakers: Julie Jaffee Nagel, PhD (Ann Arbor, MI); Marie Montilla (Pittsfield, MA); Patrick Slevin (Austin, TX); Michael Slevin, MSW (Baltimore, MD) Like psychoanalysis, Western classical music is, in some quarters, thought to be esoteric and elitist. Orchestras struggle to retain aging audiences and bring in the young. El Sistema USA and the Abreu Fellows transplant an idea that grew from 11 music students to a vibrant institution teaching 300,000 of Venezuela’s poorest children. Music, study and performance, transforms individuals and their communities through self-knowledge and self-esteem — core goals of psychoanalysis. Brief presentations by two El Sistema/Abreu musician/organizers and a psychoanalyst/musician are integrated with audio/visual materials to illustrate synergy between music and psychoanalysis.

| | | APSA_NY12-500 | | 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. Audio CDs: 3 | | Audio CD | | $45.00 | | $45.00 | |
