Panel IV: Teaching Freud Today

Speakers: Moderator: Jennifer Stuart, Ph.D. (New York, NY) Presenters: Sarah Ackerman, Ph.D. (Hanover, NH) Lawrence D. Blum, M.D. (Philadelphia, PA) Robert A. Paul, Ph.D. (Atlanta, GA) Jeffrey Prager, Ph.D. (Beverly Hills, CA) Michael E. Shulman, Ph.D. (Ann Arbor, MI)

This panel was proposed by Jennifer Stuart, Ph.D. Though psychoanalysis began as the creation of a single visionary, Freud’s place in education – both within our institutes and beyond – has been in dispute for years. Meanwhile, Freud’s ideas have become so deeply ingrained in our culture and practice that his influence can be overlooked. What elements of Freud’s thinking remain vital today? How might we help students of Freud to develop their own attitudes, both appreciative and critical, toward his work? Each member of this panel will teach, in real time, from an excerpt of Freud’s writing projected on screen for all to see. Panelists will demonstrate how contemporary perspectives – drawn from psychoanalysis itself, and from the humanities and social sciences – can engage both clinicians’ and non-clinicians’ interest in Freud.

Educator’s Symposium: Evolving Child Psychoanalytic Practice Within Local to Global Community Systems

Speakers: Chair: Ann Marie Sacramone, M.S.Ed., L.P. (NY, NY) Presenter: Edward Eismann, Ph.D. (Bronx, NY) Discussant: Neil Altman, Ph.D. (New York, NY)

This symposium, sponsored by the APsaA Schools Committee, co-chaired by John S. Tieman, Ph.D. and Tillie Garfinkel, M.Ed., will consider evolving ideas of social psychoanalytic practice with children in settings ranging from local (classroom, neighborhood, and village) to global community systems. Three analysts will describe child treatment models that depend on the analyst working in concert with the child’s social systems. Tracing change in the child, community and analyst, participants will ponder about a relational response to our current socio-cultural harms. Dr. Eismann will narrate and illustrate in video his 49 year community practice in the South Bronx stemming from Freudian, Adlerian, and social support theory perspectives. Ms. Sacramone will offer case material from a child-in-community practice grounded on infancy research, and self-psychology. Dr. Altman will discuss his observations of communities internationally that developed unique culturally based therapeutic approaches.
