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.

Educator’s Symposium: Evolving Child Psychoanalytic Practice Within Local to Global Community Systems

Speakers: Chair: Ann Marie Sacramone, M.S.Ed., L.P. (NY, NY) Presenter: Edward Eismann, Ph.D. (Bronx, NY) Discussant: Neil Altman, Ph.D. (New York, NY)

This symposium, sponsored by the APsaA Schools Committee, co-chaired by John S. Tieman, Ph.D. and Tillie Garfinkel, M.Ed., will consider evolving ideas of social psychoanalytic practice with children in settings ranging from local (classroom, neighborhood, and village) to global community systems. Three analysts will describe child treatment models that depend on the analyst working in concert with the child’s social systems. Tracing change in the child, community and analyst, participants will ponder about a relational response to our current socio-cultural harms. Dr. Eismann will narrate and illustrate in video his 49 year community practice in the South Bronx stemming from Freudian, Adlerian, and social support theory perspectives. Ms. Sacramone will offer case material from a child-in-community practice grounded on infancy research, and self-psychology. Dr. Altman will discuss his observations of communities internationally that developed unique culturally based therapeutic approaches.

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.

Service Members and Veterans Initiative

Speakers: Chair & Presenter: Harold Kudler, M.D. (Washington, DC) Discussant: Norman M. Camp, M.D. (Richmond, VA)

The Service Member and Veterans Initiative (SVI) seeks to guide the American Psychoanalytic Association’s efforts to elucidate and alleviate the psychological trauma of war. This requires articulation of the concept of traumatic stress in terms that can be shared and acted upon across a broad range of theoretical perspectives, mental health disciplines, and systems of care. This presentation by Harold Kudler, Chief Consultant for Mental Health for the Department of Veterans Affairs and SVI Chair, will offer a common language for understanding psychological trauma and propose a practical path for implementing this perspective in direct work with patients and their families, clinical supervision, teaching, research, and enhancement of systems of care.
