Robert Brustein, Professor Emeritus of English at Harvard; Founder of the Yale Repertory and American Repertory Theatres, playwright, author (“The Tainted Muse: Prejudice and Presumption in Shakespeare and His Time”), and recipient of the National Medal of Arts, talks about: how easily the forces of good can be overwhelmed by the forces of evil, Iago as a new kind of image in literature, and the embodiment of a world without a vigilant God. Michael Wood, Charles Barnwell Straut Class of 1923 Professor of English and Comparative Literature, at Princeton, author (“Shakespeare”), critic (New York and London Reviews of Books), will talk about how language works in “Othello” as a means of seduction and almost becomes a character in its own right.

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.

Symposium I: Embodiment & Subjectivity

Speakers: Andrea Celenza, John C. Foehl, Jessica Benjamin

This symposium addresses the role of the body through phenomenal experiencing, i.e., embodiment, as conceptualized by philosophical writers and contemporary relational theorists (especially from the perspective of intersubjectivity). Presymbolic, unmentalized bodily experience provides a ground of skin-contact and rhythmicity from which the capacities of differentiating and integrating experiences arise, especially as these are organized around a variety of binaries: inner/outer, self/other and female/male. Psychopathology is understood as a collapse of dialectical interplay, causing disruptions in early patterns of interpersonal recognition, flexibility and play. Presenters discuss how transcending binarial constraints can result in greater creativity and overall well-being.
