SUMMARY:58th Anniversary Freud Lecture: The Innate Capacity for Representing Subjective Experience: The Infant’s Mind is Neither Primitive nor Pre-representational
DESCRIPTION:Anne Erreich\, PhD\, cites the prominence of theories which locate serious adult psychopathology in the pre-verbal infant’s inability to formulate or represent traumatic experience in her paper presentation. The work of two such authors\, H. Levine and D.B. Stern\, is briefly considered. The frame of reference for this investigation is that clinical and academic research findings are highly relevant to psychoanalytic theorizing. It is argued that when such findings are considered\, a view of the infant with “primordial and unrepresented” states of mind has little evidence to support it. In fact\, research findings summarized herein point to an opposite view: that of the “competent infant\,” one with highly accurate perceptual discrimination capacities and an innate ability to register and represent subjective experience in both procedural and declarative memory\, even pre-natally. Given the infant’s competencies it seems implausible to hold that representational deficits are at the heart of serious adult psychopathology\, which is instead seen to be the result of defensive maneuvers against unknowable and unspeakable truth rather than the absence of a pre-verbal representational capacity. Current research findings seem to pose a significant challenge for psychoanalytic theories which espouse so-called “primitive mental states\,” “unrepresented\,” ”unformulated\,” “unsymbolized” experience or “non-conscious” states.

SUMMARY:Myriad Uses and Functions of Interpretation
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: \nBruce Reis\, Ph.D.\, FIPA\, BCPsa \nProgram Committee Chair: \nMarina Mirkin\, MD \nAnalysts seem spellbound by language when it comes to the word interpretation\, a word so idealized and grand\, so laden with fantasy\, that the term itself continues to hold a magical sense that defies us to think about it. Accordingly\, issues of construction\, co-construction\, and transformation are examined. Every interpretation is at once a concealment\, every inscription a negation\, every representation a representation of something unrepresentable. Despite this\, the concept of interpretation\, even if theoretically unsupportable in large measure\, retains its clinical utility.

SUMMARY:Sadomasochism; Understanding and Working with the Self-Defeating Patient
DESCRIPTION:About the Event: \nSelf-defeating behaviors are present to some degree in every psychodynamic treatment. We will explore ways in which sadomasochism manifests\, particularly in the transference/countertransference arena. The developmental roots and psychodynamic underpinnings will be illuminated through clinical examples. A contemporary understanding via Neuropsychoanalysis will explore self-defeating behavior as a problem with the PLAY instinct\, leading to impairment in the ability to collaborate. The goal will be to fortify practitioners for what are often long and difficult treatments. \nAbout the Presenter: \nRobert Calcaterra\, MD \nPANY Faculty \nPsychoanalytic Research and Development Fund – Board of Directors \nZucker Hillside Psychiatric Residency – Lead Psychotherapy Instructor and Supervisor \nPrivate Practice\, Long Island
