Speakers: Vamik D. Volkan, MD (Charlottesville, VA); Author: Anna Ornstein, MD (Brookline, MA)

In view of the frequency with which terror acts are being committed, this paper suggests the possible psychological changes individuals may have to undergo when committing mass murder. The paper would be of interest to analysts who consider the social, political and the cultural surround relevant to psychoanalysis.

Research Symposium: Parental Mentalizing in Action: Verbal and Embodied Parental Mentalizing in Theory and Clinical Practice

Speakers: Dana Shai, PhD (Herzliya, Israel); Arietta Slade, PhD (New York, NY); Nancy E. Suchman, PhD (New Haven, CT); Mary Target, PhD (London, England); Robert J. Waldinger, MD (West Newton, MA)

Parental mentalizing is a significant factor shaping the infant’s socio-emotional development and is the focus of this symposium. Two papers focus on intervention programs designed to enhance parental mentalizing in high risk families — Minding the Baby and Mothering from the Inside Out, including results of randomized controlled trial studies demonstrating the efficacy of these interventions. The third paper will introduce Parental Embodied Mentalization — a method of observational assessment involving the scrutiny of the whole-body nonverbal interactive process between mothers and infants that predicts attachment security. This session explores how parental mentalizing can enhance children’s socio-emotional wellbeing.

Scientific Paper 1: : 9/11And the India/Pakistan Partition: Trauma and Dissociation

Speakers: Alan Roland, PhD (New York, NY), Author

This paper adds new dimensions to the understanding of trauma and dissociation by exploring personal and patients’ reactions to the experience of 9/11, and by in-depth interviews with a Jain Indian family caught in a train massacre in 1947 during the India/Pakistan Partition. For the former, the emotional resonance of 9/11 feelings of catastrophe with a traumatic visual/emotional dissociated memory from 18 months old enabled it to surface; while for the latter, the train massacre and disappearance of the two youngest siblings has had ripple effects not only inter-generationally but throughout the family.
