| | | APSA_NY13-307 | | PPRS Research Forum: Treatment Notes: Objective Measures of Language Style Point to Clinical Insights Speakers: Leon Hoffman, Jane Algus, William Braun, Wilma Bucci, Bernard Maskit, John Porcerelli This session presents the systematic evaluation of the language of treatment notes written by psychoanalytic candidates for fourteen analyses carried out under supervision at the NY Psychoanalytic Institute. 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.

| | | APSA_NY13-403 | | 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. Audio CDs: 1 | | Audio CD | | $15.00 | | $15.00 | |
