SUMMARY:Alumni Group - The Lure of the Symptom in Psychoanalytic Treatment
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Glen O. Gabbard\, MD | Psychoanalysis\, which at its core is a search for truth\, stands in a subversive position vis-a-vis the contemporary therapeutic culture that places a premium on symptomatic “cure.” In this communication I am tracing the evolution of Freud’s thinking about the relationship between the aims of psychoanalysis and the alleviation of symptoms.

SUMMARY:Alumni Group - Psychoanalysis and Childhood Trauma: An Uneasy Relationship
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Jean Goodwin\, MD.\, MPH | Psychoanalysis was both a help and a hindrance to me in the late twentieth century as I was beginning to explore child sexual abuse and its sequelae. It was unhelpful that my medical school mentor(1968) explained that incest occurs one per million population. Also unhelpful when my supervisor in residency (1973) explained that my patient was fantasizing when she disclosed the sexual relationship with her father (1973).

SUMMARY:Where Is Psychoanalysis in the Psychotherapy Jungle?
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Jon G. Allen\, PhD \nDescription: After its dominance in American psychotherapy in the first half of the twentieth century\, psychoanalysis was marginalized in the healthcare system in the latter part of the century. This marginalization resulted from the confluence of academic scientism and tailoring of psychotherapies to DSM diagnoses in psychiatry.

SUMMARY:The Therapeutic Importance of Screwing Up-and Owning It:  Repair\, Epistemic Trust and the Active Ingredients of Effective Therapy
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Efrain Bleiberg\, MD \nDescription: This presentation will discuss the acquisition of trust and social learning in normal development and in psychotherapy and success that such acquisition is facilitated by the therapist’s ability to model repair by taking responsibility for one’s inevitable mistakes and misattunements and the impact they have on the patient. Examples of breakdowns in the therapeutic relationship will be discussed from this perspective.

SUMMARY:Core Principles of Treating the Suicidal Adult
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: J. Christopher Fowler\, PhD \nDescription: We are acutely aware of the fear and dread of losing a patient to suicide. Unlike other medical crises\, there are no biologic tests to accurately determine the level of suicide risk\, nor metrics for determining when a suicidal crisis may occur (Fowler\, 2012; Franklin et al.\, 2017). It should be no surprise then\, that when our patients speak of suicide\, we are anxious and eager to discern if the thought is a fleeting fantasy\, a declarative statement of imminent purpose\, or something else. In this zone of the unknown\, countertransference fears can disrupt clinician’s capacity to mentalize our patients and can lead to precipitous unilateral crisis management before we have a chance to understand our patient’s communication and the emerging dynamic. While it is always necessary to intervene in a suicidal crisis\, the most impactful intervention is curiosity and interest in the individual’s inner experience. In this roundtable discussion we will focus on 3 core principles in reducing the acute and long-term risk of suicide: 1. Engaging our radical curiosity (via mentalizing) to help patients feel understood and joined\, 2. Reducing emotion dysregulation by focusing on the affective experiences driving suicidal ideation\, and 3. Restoring effective mentalizing in order to reduce suicidal risk. In time our mentalizing interventions aim is to build epistemic trust (Fonagy & Campbell\, 2017). An extended clinical vignette will highlight specific mentalizing interventions in the treatment.

SUMMARY:A Psychoanalytical View on Child & Adolescent Development in a Socio-Cultural Context: Generation Z in Kazakhstan
DESCRIPTION:This presentation is aimed to enrich psychoanalytic theory by exploring how societal and historical factors shape generational experiences in different contexts. Each generation grows up in a specific cultural\, social\, and historical context\, which influences their values\, beliefs\, and psychological challenges. In these regards generation Z in general has been characterized as an environmentally aware “digital natives” who are exposed to a rapidly changing and increasingly interconnected world. Despite these common characteristics\, cultural determinants shape Zoomers’ early experiences\, socialization patterns\, and the formation of their self-identity. Psychoanalytic perspectives in this presentation will explore how context-specific traditional cultural norms and values are internalized and operate within Zoomers’ unconscious processes\, and also tries to uncover these unconscious dynamics and explain their interplay with cultural factors. \nPresenter: Anna M. Kudiyarova\, PhD\, Director of the Psychoanalytic Institute for Central Asia
