SUMMARY:How Our Work as Analysts Changes Us as Persons
DESCRIPTION:Based on 25 years of psychoanalytic and intensive psychotherapy work with patients and his experiences as a teacher\, supervisor\, and mentor\, Dr. Klafter will describe how psychoanalysts are affected by their relationships with their patients. Drawing on object relations theories of psychological development\, he will describe how the patient inhabits the analyst’s representational world\, and how the analytic situation catalyzes unprecedented changes in the analyst’s self-representations and adult personality development. Dr. Klafter will also discuss how these changes can impact the analyst’s marriage and romantic relationships\, parenting\, political views\, religious beliefs\, and friendships.

SUMMARY:The Importance of Group Experience During Adolescence and Beyond: Pathways from Trauma to Growth
DESCRIPTION:Beginning with the question of the individual’s fitness with their family of origin\, the authors describe the variables that determine the adolescent’s capacity to join peer groups. Optimally\, the adolescent – when cognitive advancement is combined with a specific kind of group psychological mindedness – can consolidate their group identifications. When traumatized\, an adolescent’s exclusion from groups is characterized by bullying dynamics. Clinical vignettes demonstrate the authors’ way of addressing hurtful and beneficial group experiences within their patients’ individual therapies. They include an example from their work together with a specific family. Finally\, they offer technical suggestions for this work\, including how to recognize when an additional referral for group therapy is indicated.

SUMMARY:Loathing What We Desire: Clinical Manifestations of Kristeva’s Abject
DESCRIPTION:Following a two-year personally driven immersive odyssey into the works of French Psychoanalyst Julia Kristeva\, Nancy M. Kulish\, PhD has arrived at a particular understanding of the concept of the abject. Dr. Kulish will guide us on her journey to show us a new way to understand the way the very early conflictual engagement between mother and infant can shape the development of one’s subjective sense of the female body. Specifically\, she will discuss the nature of the abject: the abject pertains to the developmental moment when the infant first separates from the mother\, and it is in this moment when feelings of desire and fear directed toward the ‘feminine’ or maternal body are born. Dr. Kulish will discuss how the qualitative nature of this early experience can lead to the development of misogyny\, both in men who simultaneously loathe and desire the female body and in women who harbor hatred toward themselves and their female bodies. Dr. Kulish will discuss case material to illustrate this concept. \nCE Credit.

SUMMARY:When Secrets Emerge: Uncanny Impact in Analysis and Therapy on the Clinician’s Body & Mind
DESCRIPTION:Listening to secrets is part of the everyday work of a psychodynamic clinician. Despite its importance\, this topic has not received extensive attention in the analytic literature. The impact on the clinician in unexpected emotional and physical ways deserves greater scrutiny than has generally occurred in training. It can be experienced as uncanny and disturbing. This lecture describes how guilt and shame\, no-entry defenses\, and somatic countertransference reactions take root when ‘what has been hidden\, but in plain sight’ emerges seemingly out of the blue in analysis or psychotherapy. Countertransference reactivity of the therapist when treating patients who keep secrets and the role this plays in the development of dissociated somatic reactivity and burnout will be demonstrated in clinical examples of patients with eating disorders\, addictions\, life transitions\, and bereavement. Emphasis will be placed on how to attend to the therapist’s self-care needs and how to enhance resilience as secrets emerge\, are contained\, and worked through in the therapeutic dialogue. \nCE Credits

SUMMARY:Googling for Ghosts: Confessions of a Reluctant Psychoanalyst
DESCRIPTION:Sylvia Flescher\, M.D.\, will join us in person on Friday\, November 17th\, and share with us excerpts from her memoir-in-progress. Her memoir describes the evolution of her identity as a clinician since her analytic training in the ’80s. Dr. Flescher will talk about the origins and development of her ambivalence towards psychoanalysis\, considering the role that her training analysis played as well as the impact that her father –an analyst\, psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor– had on her. \nIn a poignant and open way\, she will share with us how she struggled to find her own voice\, and how her life experiences exemplify the phenomenon of intergenerational transmission of trauma. Dr. Flescher’s presentation will address the unique trajectory that each clinician paves through their own life experiences\, and will show how writing a memoir can support and extend the working through process for analysts across their professional life. She sees her memoir as both an homage to her father and as a means of exorcising him and his long shadow from her psyche. \nCE available
