| | | APSA_NY13-303 | | Scientific Paper 1: The Psychoanalyst and the Clinic: A Balint Group for Psychiatrists Speakers: Jonathan Sklar; Norman V. Kohn The paper offers an original description of Balint Group methodology and its relevance for training psychiatrists. Central is the understanding that the psychiatrist presents his clinical problem with the patient. Making the doctor’s counter-transference central to the process moves it away from being supervision i.e., the technical acquisition of skills. This is key for Balint, for whom acquiring psychodynamics “entails a limited, though considerable change in the doctor’s personality.” This paper is a tribute to developing Balint’s ideas and offering graphic vignettes of the difficulty and value of working with psychiatrists in this way. The author is a Training and Supervising analyst at the British Psychoanalytical Society. Audio CDs: 1 | | Audio CD | | $15.00 | | $15.00 | |
| | | APSA_NY13-405 | | 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.

| | | APSA_NY13-402 | | Educator’s Symposium: Creating Possibility: The “Forward Edge” Approach in Schools & Consulting Room Speakers: Tillie Garfinkel, Mark D. Smaller, Daniel B. Frank The application of psychoanalytic concepts in school settings provides teachers, students, and parents an additional resource for educating our children. It also offers psychoanalysts an opportunity to expand psychoanalytic theory and clinical technique as they pertain to adolescent development and treatment. Mark Smaller, Ph.D., Founding Director of Project Realize (formerly the Analytic Service to Adolescents Program), describes the psychoanalytic concept of “the forward edge” approach to working with troubled adolescents in schools. He then outlines implications for advancing adolescent developmental theory and treatment in various settings. Preliminary findings of Project Realize show that regardless of wide variation in socio-economic factors in different schools, adolescent issues regarding learning, relationships, sexuality, aggression, and ambitions do not vary.
