Psychoanalysis and Neuroscience Symposium: Trauma, Dream and Psychic Change in Psychoanalyses

Speakers: Co-chairs: Charles P. Fisher, M.D. (San Francisco) Richard J. Kessler, D.O. (Long Island City, NY) Presenters: Tamara Fischmann, Ph.D. (Frankfurt, Germany) Marianne Leuzinger-Bohleber, Ph.D. (Frankfurt, Germany)

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.

Meet-the-Authors

Speakers: Chair: Henry J. Friedman, M.D. (Cambridge, MA) Authors & Presenters: Steven H. Cooper, Ph.D. (Cambridge, MA) Margaret Crastnopol, Ph.D. (Seattle, WA) Adrienne Harris, Ph.D. (New York, NY) 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.

Candidates’ Council Master Teacher Award

Speakers: Chair: Valerie Golden, J.D., Ph.D. (Minneapolis, MN) Award Recipient & Discussant: Anton O. Kris, M.D. (Cambridge, MA) "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).
