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.

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.
