Candidates' Forum: Developing Psychoanalytic Cases and the Candidates Who Will Work with Them

Speakers: Elizabeth Brett, PhD (Woodbridge, CT); Allan Frosch, PhD (New York, NY); Alan Z. Skolnikoff, MD (San Francisco, CA); Moderator: Phoebe A. Cirio, MSW, LCSW (St. Louis, MO); Arden Rothstein, PhD (New York, NY)

This session discusses approaches to helping candidates develop psychoanalytic cases, while experiencing a sense of agency and preserving morale. Following Dr. Rothstein’s presentation of an individualized tutorial program that she initiated, and her study of its impact upon participants, panel members convey their institutes’ approaches to case and candidate development. Subjective factors in assessment of analyzability — e.g., the match of candidate and analysand, and differences in supervisory perspective — are considered.

Plenary Address: Core Issues in the Treatment of Personality Disordered Patients

Speakers: George G. Fishman, MD (Chestnut Hill, MA); Dan H. Buie, MD (Wellesley Hills, MA); Robert Lindsay Pyles, MD, President-Elect (Wellesley Hills, MA)

Neurotic patients possess the capacities required for maintaining their basic self-stability. Personality disordered patients do not. They continuously need to depend on others to provide them with the capacities they need in order to maintain basic self-stability. Clinical experience and relevant literature indicate that these capacities are five in number. They concern self-realness, self-holding so as not to experience aloneness, self-worth, self-love, and identity. This presentation focuses on understanding the consequences of deficits of these capacities along with treatments that can enable patients to develop these capacities for themselves.
