In addition, the Director of the Freud Museum (London) will discuss the recently re-designed Anna Freud exhibit.

Plenary Address: “What About Curiosity?”

Speakers: Chair: Lee Jaffe, Ph.D., President-Elect (La Jolla, CA) Introducer: Ira Brenner, M.D. (Bala Cynwyd, PA) Speaker: Salman Akhtar, M.D. (Ardmore, PA)

This presentation will trace the origin of human curiosity to the interplay between hard-wired evolutionary imperatives and epigenetically unfolding psychosexual drives and relational scenarios of formative years. It will also address the forms and expressions of curiosity that are normative (e.g. developmental), and ubiquitous (e.g. existential), as well as those which are morbid in either quantitative (e.g. too much, too little), or qualitative (e.g. false, transgressive, prurient) sense. The intricate relationship between curiosity and creativity will also be discussed. Finally, the implications of such formations to the analytic situation (from both sides of the couch, and in between) shall be elucidated.

Professional Development Workshop 2: Promoting Psychoanalysis in 140 Characters or Less: Twitter

Speakers: Chair: Sue Kolod, Ph.D. (New York, NY) Presenters: Michael Donner, Ph.D. (San Francisco, CA) Wylie G. Tené, APsaA Director of Public Affairs (NY)

Twitter is a social media platform and phone app that launched in 2006. In the past decade it has grown to be the third largest social media site, following Facebook and YouTube. Twitter currently has more than 310 million active users per month. The site allows people to engage in conversations and interact with users through short, 140 characters or less posts called “tweets.” Twitter is a powerful tool for raising interest in and promoting psychoanalysis, but many psychoanalysts have yet to embrace its power. This workshop will serve as a hands-on introduction to Twitter, covering all the basics on how to use the platform, as well as discussing how to use it to elevate interest in psychoanalysis.
