Presenter: Arlene N. Heyman, M.D. (New York, NY)
Discussant: Fred L. Griffin, M.D. (Dallas, TX)
Artist-in-Residence Arlene Heyman, psychoanalyst and writer, will read from her recent book and runaway success, “Scary Old Sex.” In step with this year’s Artist and Scholar-in-Residence theme— “Creativity Over the Life Span”— this collection of short stories shatters taboos by taking a stringently perceptive yet unstintingly humanistic look at the vicissitudes of aging—including, well, sex. The New York Times singles out “Scary Old Sex” for its superb prose, and a “bliss that lifts right off the page.” Following the reading, Fred Griffin will in conversation with Heyman explore the mutual influence of her clinical psychoanalytic work and her construction of fictional universes, as well as the evolution of Heyman’s work over her writing career. The session will end with a question and answer with audience members. | | MP3 | | $15.00 | | $15.00 | |

The 79th Oral History Workshop, “Anna Freud Revisited,” will address four topics: 1) The postwar trajectory of Anna Freud’s theoretical and clinical thinking, as illustrated in the 16 papers she published in “The Psychoanalytic Study of the Child” between 1945 and 1965; 2) The evolution of Anna Freud’s child analysis clinical practice, and her growing recognition that some children require a developmental approach in the therapeutic situation; 3) The pedagogical and theoretical legacy of the Hietzing School, founded by Anna Freud and Dorothy Burlington, is explored through the writings of Erik Erikson, who taught at the school; 4) A retrospective account of the experience, and enduring influence, of undergoing the four-year child analysis training program at the Hampstead Clinic under the aegis of Anna Freud. In addition, the Director of the Freud Museum (London) will discuss the recently re-designed Anna Freud exhibit. | | MP3 | | $25.00 | | $25.00 | |
