Psychoanalysis and Neuroscience Symposium

Speakers: Charles P. Fisher, Mark Solms

Dr. Solms presents a compelling thesis that “turns the talking cure on its head” while preserving Freud’s fundamental discoveries. Freud saw the ego as the seat of consciousness and the id as deeply unconscious. However modern neuroscience suggests that consciousness is generated in primitive brain structures that mediate instinctual drives, while the higher structures that represent the external world are unconscious in themselves. Is the id conscious and the ego unconscious? This revision would resolve certain difficulties with Freud’s original formulations, while reinforcing the clinical utility of his basic concepts. The group discusses how this revised model clarifies clinical work.

Symposium II: The Politics of Psychoanalytic Lexicography: Psychoanalytic Terms & Concepts

Speakers: Elizabeth Auchincloss, Eslee Samberg

Drs. Elizabeth Auchincloss and Eslee Samberg, co-editors-in-chief of “Psychoanalytic Terms and Concepts,” a volume co-published by Yale University Press and the American Psychoanalytic Association, present the challenges encountered in editing a psychoanalytic dictionary in this age of theoretical pluralism and postmodern challenges to “authority.” The editors describe the strategies they employed in their management of “point of view” and give specific examples to illustrate the political issues they negotiated in defi ning terms and concepts. They also place their project in context by describing the political issues that have shaped the history of psychoanalytic lexicography from its beginnings.

PPRS Research Forum: Methodology for Outcome Studies of Psychoanalysis: The World View

Speakers: Steven Roose, Mark Hilsenroth, Andrew J. Gerber, Eve Caligor, Robert Michels

Given the limited number of psychoanalytic outcome studies, pooling data is essential. Meta-analysis has been used extensively to aggregate the results of individual studies. The quality of a meta-analysis depends partly on studies having comparable methodology, especially with respect to patient inclusion criteria, treatment standards and primary outcome measures. Researchers must collaborate on methodology so the impact of their research is more than the sum of the parts. The intent of this forum is to attract both researchers and clinicians to an interactive session in which they act as a protocol development committee giving feedback to the presenters.

Professional Development Workshop 1 – Guidelines for Engaging with the Media

Speakers: William H. Braun, Geralyn Leaderman, Gail Saltz MD

Mental health professionals are sought after by members of the media seeking background information or quotes for their stories. Engaging with the media offers analysts the opportunity to lend a news story a psychoanalytic perspective, leading to a greater understanding of psychoanalysis among members of the public. This workshop addresses how to give an interview for print, television and radio, what to keep in mind when speaking to reporters and tips for staying on message. We also discuss writing successful opinion pieces and letters-to-the-editor.
