Meet-the-Author: Dr. Phillip M. Bromberg

Speakers: Melinda Gellman, Philip M. Bromberg, Christine C. Kieffer

Deepening his inquiry into the nature of what is therapeutic about the psychoanalytic relationship Dr. Bromberg explores the two interlocking rewards of successful treatment — healing and growth. By being an affectively alive partner who is simultaneously attentive to the dissociated impact of his own enacted participation, the analyst helps decrease the patient’s mistrust of potentially traumatizing “otherness” and its dissociated dread of attachment rupture. This in turn leads to both greater confidence in relational affect regulation and a growing ability to safely contain the self-state negotiation of otherness inherent to the experience of internal conflict. In its essence, Bromberg’s portrayal of therapeutic action restores self-state fluidity, liberating the patient’s capacity for trust without vigilance and permitting life to be lived with greater creativity, love and spontaneity.

The Glass is Half Full: Reframing Emotional Challenges for Women with Bleeding Disorders

Speakers: Danielle Nance, MD; Barbara Forss; Moderator: Patrice Thomas, MS, MSW

Many women with bleeding disorders have experienced the frustration of missed diagnosis, the physical and emotional pain of untreated bleeding conditions, and the embarrassment of disclosing personal information in order to explain why they are not feeling well. For some women, there is also guilt associated with passing a genetic condition on to their children. This session provides a time for women to reflect on their feelings about their lived experiences with bleeding disorders or those of their loved ones, and learn about various techniques for coping.

Scientific Paper 5: : The Dignity of the Thing: Lacan’s Ethics of Sublimation

Speakers: Author: Mari Ruti, PhD (Toronto, Canada)

This paper illustrates why Lacan’s theory of sublimation — of raising an ordinary object into “the dignity of the Thing” — introduces a code of ethics that enables the individual to resist dominant social norms. This alternative ethical code is not a matter of deliberating on the rightness or wrongness of actions, but rather of following the thread of one’s desire even when doing so proves socially inconvenient. Because it allows the individual to create space for desires, values, and patterns of appreciation that reach beyond the “reality principle” of the collectivity, it functions as an effective antidote to contemporary nihilism.

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.
