SUMMARY:The Dynamics of Personality Development: Freud\, Klein\, and Bion Unplugged with Jennifer Kunst\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, Dr. Jennifer Kunst will provide an in-depth exploration of key concepts of psychoanalysis from the vantage point of the dynamic process of personality development. She will draw from the ideas of Sigmund Freud\, Melanie Klein\, and Wilfred Bion\, applying their ideas to the challenges of modern life as well as clinical practice. Key concepts include various ways of conceptualizing the unconscious\, the life and death instincts\, psychic equilibrium and psychic change\, the Oedipus complex\, the interplay between dependence and independence\, transference\, and the interaction between internal and external worlds. She will utilize clinical case material\, movie clips\, poems\, and stories to bring these concepts to life. Two live role plays will demonstrate how these concepts can be applied to actual clinical psychotherapy practice.

SUMMARY:Revisiting the Concept of the Working Alliance. Applying it to Teaching and Learning and Exploring the Ethical Considerations: A Relational Model.
DESCRIPTION:The working alliance or the therapeutic alliance is the strongest predictor for the success of psychotherapy. The presentation explores the origins of these concepts and raises the question whether the working alliance can be applied to teaching and learning. Academics educators have already begun to do this. Their findings are presented which also inform us further about the use of the concept in psychotherapy. The ethical principles of the teacher student engagement are reviewed along with strategies for repairing strains and ruptures in the relationship. A relational model is explored based on the work of the noted educator Parker Palmer. Controversies around applying this important psychodynamic concept to teaching are also taken up. \nCE

SUMMARY:Psychoanalytic Treatment of Narcissistic\, Borderline\, and Psychotic Personality Organizations.
DESCRIPTION:The conference will be divided between exploring four different psychoanalytic models and their relevance to the treatment of major primitive psychopathologies. Dr. Panajian will discuss Freud’s understanding of two principles of mental functioning\, thinking\, negation\, disavowal\, and delusions as an attempt to recover psychic functioning. Klien’s paranoid schizoid position\, depressive position\, manic and obsessive defenses will be discussed. Depressive position and capacity to tolerate paradoxes will be viewed by clinical examples. Winnicott’s psych-soma and the relation to the mind\, transitional phenomena\, and fear of breakdown will be explored. Bion’s model of complexity\, theory of thinking\, and various types of transformations and disturbance of time and space will be discussed. Dr.Panajian will discuss Piaget’s model of cognitive development of concrete operation and their significance in understanding schizoid\, borderline\, and psychotic functioning. The significance of space centered interpretations will be illustrated in primitive pathological functioning. Dr. Panajian will demonstrate clinical examples of the treatment of narcissistic\, borderline\, schizoid\, psychotic personality\, bipolar psychotic and a schizophrenic patient. Such concepts as negation\, the work of the negative\, negative hallucination\, infinity and emotional experience\, the emergence of the body in time and space will be discussed. Furthermore\, infantile psychic withdrawal\, chaotic analytic field\, vertical and horizontal splitting will be discussed clinically. The notion of time and space continuum\, sensory-motor schemas and their role in developing internal and external space will be demonstrated in borderline and psychotic patients.

SUMMARY:DPC Professional Development Workshop - Into the Wild’s of Melancholia By Derek Hook
DESCRIPTION:The diagnostic category of melancholia\, described by Freud\, still has much to teach us in respect of effective clinical psychoanalytic treatments\, even if reference to the term is largely absent in diagnostic debates. Melancholia\, as understood by Freud\, involves identification with a loved then lost and subsequently hated object\, resulting in aggression being directed against the subject’s own ego. A Lacanian psychoanalytic approach to melancholia adds to this clinical picture: a ‘terror of closeness’ (avoidance of intimacy)\, difficulties in situating oneself in long-term symbolic roles\, and reveries of an end (images of something beyond one’s current life).

SUMMARY:Bisexuality to Intersexuality: Rethinking Gender Categories And the Evolving Controversies in Treating Gender Dysphoric Youth
DESCRIPTION:Jack Drescher\, MD discusses the study of human sexual identities is changing\, and these changes oblige analysts to think about sexualities in ways never envisioned by their psychoanalytic forbears. These changes also require that they be aware of some of the limitations imposed upon by their own theoretical traditions. Toward that end\, this presentation begins with a definition of terms related to modern conceptions of sexuality and sexual identities. This is followed by a review of historical assumptions underlying the theory of bisexuality. The next section introduces the audience to the role of categories and hierarchies in general\, and to the clinical meaning of sexual hierarchies in particular. This is followed by a discussion of the meanings and uses of the “natural.” The final section concludes with a commentary on intersexuality as an example of both the social and surgical construction of gender.

SUMMARY:Social Psychoanalysis and an Ethic of Repair
DESCRIPTION:This program begins with a talk on what a social psychoanalysis might look like in the clinic and draws on some earlier psychoanalysts’ concepts that have connected the social world and the psychic world without reducing one to the other. Exploring identity formation in cultural contexts and within various power hierarchies\, Dr. Layton introduces the concept of normative unconscious processes\, a concept connecting the psychic and the social that specifically addresses the ways that racism\, heterosexism\, classism and other social inequalities are unconsciously enacted in the clinic and culture. We will then explore how therapists can resist unconsciously replicating such cultural inequalities. \nIn the second half of the program\, we will expand our focus to the ways cultural inequalities are unconsciously reproduced in the wider circles of contemporary institutional and sociocultural life. Dr. Layton\, Dr. Nichols\, and Dr. Connolly discuss the psychological case for reparations for slavery and its afterlives. Our conversations here\, too\, explore how we\, as citizens and therapists\, both unconsciously replicate and can resist replicating harmful\, unequal relations. We will think together about how to address the places in our different subjective and communal worlds where harm has been done–and engage together on how to make repair.
