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.

Meet-the-Author: Dr. Phillip M. Bromberg

Speakers: Melinda Gellman, Philip M. Bromberg, Christine C. Kieffer

Deepening his inquiry into the nature of what is therapeutic about the psychoanalytic relationship Dr. Bromberg explores the two interlocking rewards of successful treatment — healing and growth. By being an affectively alive partner who is simultaneously attentive to the dissociated impact of his own enacted participation, the analyst helps decrease the patient’s mistrust of potentially traumatizing “otherness” and its dissociated dread of attachment rupture. This in turn leads to both greater confidence in relational affect regulation and a growing ability to safely contain the self-state negotiation of otherness inherent to the experience of internal conflict. In its essence, Bromberg’s portrayal of therapeutic action restores self-state fluidity, liberating the patient’s capacity for trust without vigilance and permitting life to be lived with greater creativity, love and spontaneity.

Scientific Paper #7: Recovery from Childhood Psychiatric Treatment

Speakers: David Mintz, Adele Tutter

Increasingly, our patients have been medicated since childhood, with profound consequences for personal identity, becoming a source of deep-rooted feelings defect. Other problems arise when pills are used defensively to localize a family pathology in the child who receives the prescription. Furthermore, when medications are used to manage a child’s feelings, confusions may result about the signal function of emotions, truncating development. Cases of young adults, prescribed medications in childhood, are reviewed, with particular attention to developmental consequences. This session explores dynamic mechanisms of harm and examples of psychotherapeutic work that can help such patients seek healthier developmental paths.

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.

Panel IV: Mourning, Identity, Creativity

Speakers: Adele Tutter, Otto F. Kernberg, Anna Ornstein, Leon Wurmser, Jeanine M. Vivona, Tehela Nimroody

Having come a long way from Freud’s circumscribed process of libidinal detachment, mourning is now considered a potentially life-long process that includes not only the grieving of loved ones, but also the grieving of developmental stages (e.g., childhood) and components of identity (e.g., ideals and illusions). At the same time, mourning is increasingly appreciated as a powerful inaugurator of personal growth and creative and vocational productivity. This panel brings together leading thinkers who have made important recent contributions to this topic. Through interactive dialogue with the discussant and the audience, they attempt a fresh synthesis of the complex, universal, and transformative processes of mourning. This panel was originally proposed by Adele Tutter, M.D., Ph.D.

Innovations: Psychoanalysis by Surprise

Speakers: Kimberly Leary, Mark Solms

After the end of apartheid, an exiled analyst returned to his native South Africa with the intention to transform social conditions on his family’s farm. The level of mutual comprehension and trust between himself and the black farm-workers turned out to be far worse than he anticipated. In desperation, he fell back on basic psychoanalytic principles, such as his understanding of transference and countertransference. The result was an unplanned community psychoanalysis. This “analysis” was conducted largely by historians and archaeologists (not the analyst), with “surprising results.
