To psychoanalysts as well as neuroscientists the neurological base of psychic functioning, particularly concerning the topic of trauma and dreaming is of special interest. In the first part of this paper neurobiological changes occurring in the course of two years of psychoanalytic psychotherapy of a severely traumatized, chronic depressed patient are traced by a recognition experiment of memories of dreams related to an underlying conflict and depicted in fMRI. In the second part a dream series of the same patient elicited partially in psychoanalytic treatment and partially in a sleep laboratory are traced for changes in a clinical and experimental psychoanalytic manner. The results of both fields of research are discussed. Audio CDs: 1 | | Audio CD | | $18.00 | | $18.00 | |

Books: “The Analyst’s Experience of the Depressive Position”
“Micro-trauma: A Psychoanalytic Understanding of Cumulative Psychic Injury”
“Ghosts in the Consulting Room: Echoes of Trauma in Psychoanalysis
Three authors will present their latest book: Steven Cooper, “The Analyst’s Experience of the Depressive Position,” Margaret Crastnopol, “Micro-trauma: A Psychoanalytic Understanding of Cumulative Psychic Injury,” and Adrienne Harris, Margery Kalb and Susan Klebanoff, “Ghosts in the Consulting Room: Echoes of Trauma in Psychoanalysis.” Each author explores aspects of a relational approach to psychoanalysis that is distinct in its own right. They will participate in a discussion with the audience and between themselves to further elucidate the nature of their contribution. The chair will moderate the discussion from the perspective of the differences and similarities in their approach in order to demonstrate the increasing depth of the relational approach. The focus for all three is on the analyst’s centrality in determining the content and course of an analysis. Audio CDs: 3 | | Audio CD | | $40.00 | | $40.00 | |
