Lansky, MD (Los Angeles, CA); Leon Wurmser, MD (Towson, MD) The inquiries posed by the presenters in this forum pave the way for a psychoanalytic inquiry into the character’s identity of the hero and his relationship to the dramatic forces in these plays which set these tragedies in relentless motion toward their fateful outcomes. Two distinguished scholar-teachers, David Konstan, PhD, Professor in the Department of Classics at NYU, and Elizabeth Brobrick, PhD, a Visiting Scholar with Wesleyan University, provide interpretative comments for the audience, while Melvin Lansky and Leon Wurmser moderate the follow-up discussion with the audience.

| | | APSA_NY12-401 | | Neuroscience Symposium: Empirical Social Cognitive Neuroscience Research as a Basis for a Comprehensive Theory of Psychotherapeutic Change Speakers: George G. Fishman, MD (Chestnut Hill, MA); Andrew J. Gerber, MD, PhD (New York, NY); Glen O. Gabbard, MD (Houston, TX) This session proposes a theory of psychotherapeutic change composed of three components: (1) Exposure (aka making the unconscious conscious), (2) Restructuring of relationship representations (aka transference and interpersonal work), and (3) Co-construction of a coherent narrative (aka developing a secure attachment). Empirical data from contemporary social cognitive neuroscience, including Dr. Andrew Gerber’s data from an fMRI adaptation of Susan Andersen’s transference paradigm, are used to support this argument and to propose empirically testable hypotheses about therapeutic change and the appropriate tailoring of interventions to specific patients and situations. Some pilot data from MRI studies of therapeutic change across different types of psychotherapy are presented. All are discussed in the context of a psychoanalytic metapsychology and relevance to the relationship between psychoanalysis and empirical research. | | MP3 | | $10.00 | | $10.00 | |
