"LOVE’S NOT TIME’S FOOL: SOME CONTINUITIES, DISCONTINUITIES, AND ALTERATIONS IN PSYCHOANALYSIS DURING MY LIFETIME "
Anton O. Kris, M.D., renowned Psychiatrist, Professor, Training and Supervising Analyst, and author, is the 2017 recipient of the Candidates Council Master Teacher Award. Drawing on clinical examples, Dr. Kris will identify: 1) continuities in psychoanalysis that have endured from the mid- 1930s to the present (for example, the recognition of unconscious mental processes, the use of free association, and the importance of unconscious conflict); 2) discontinuities in psychoanalysis, features that have undergone significant modifications since the 1930s (for example, the full development of the structural point of view, the elaboration of pre-oedipal development; and female development and sexual preferences); and 3) radical alterations in psychoanalysis since the 1930s (for example, the recognition of the analyst’s subjectivity, the revised understanding of countertransference, and the analyst’s participatory role in the analytic process). | | MP3 | | $15.00 | | $15.00 | |

Prize Winner: Christine Maksimowicz, Ph.D. (Amherst MA)
Title: “Poverty, Parenting, and the Foreclosure of Ordinary Devotion: Rethinking Winnicott Socioanalytically”
This annual prize is awarded for essays on psychoanalytically informed research in the biobehavioral sciences, social sciences, arts and humanities. The Undergraduate Essay Prize and Courage to Dream Book Prize will also be awarded during this session. In this paper, Dr. Maksimowicz applies the fiction of Toni Morrison and sociologic research into effects of social class and poverty on the developmental process of maternal recognition. She proposes a complex understanding of how economic necessity, pragmatic imperatives, and a desire for respectability shape a style of caregiving that prioritizes “doing” over “being” and can inhibit the development of a child’s unique subjectivity.
