Yet the body has fallen from grace in our fi eld nowadays. To focus this topic, Dr. Rosemary Balsam will discuss the impact of procreativity and the major accomplishment of the female body, childbirth, as utterly common, but yet the least psychoanalytically attended source of both positive and negative experiences that can shift body image and even gender portraiture. Old theory mainly fl ed it. Newer theories, by focusing too exclusively on the mind while largely ignoring the body, risk a similar female erasure. | | MP3 | | $10.00 | | $10.00 | |

The notes were analyzed using computerized measures of the referential process developed by Bucci and Maskit. This session explores how linguistic measures mirror the clinical course, comparing one successful with one unsuccessful case. The measures point to nodal periods in the analytic work, which were clinically examined to ascertain why one case progressed, with a successful termination, while the other did not, ending with a forced interruption by the analyst. | | MP3 | | $10.00 | | $10.00 | |

The clinical phenomenology is translated by the analyst to convey its true meaning and origin. More recent concepts of symbolization and mentalization, which relate to the fundamental process of transforming unconscious contents into new forms of expression, introduce another avenue of therapeutic action. The paper presents an historical overview with clinical illustrations Audio CDs: 1 | | Audio CD | | $15.00 | | $15.00 | |
