The clinical phenomenology is translated by the analyst to convey its true meaning and origin. More recent concepts of symbolization and mentalization, which relate to the fundamental process of transforming unconscious contents into new forms of expression, introduce another avenue of therapeutic action.

| | | APSA_NY13-307 | | PPRS Research Forum: Treatment Notes: Objective Measures of Language Style Point to Clinical Insights Speakers: Leon Hoffman, Jane Algus, William Braun, Wilma Bucci, Bernard Maskit, John Porcerelli This session presents the systematic evaluation of the language of treatment notes written by psychoanalytic candidates for fourteen analyses carried out under supervision at the NY Psychoanalytic Institute. The notes were analyzed using computerized measures of the referential process developed by Bucci and Maskit. This session explores how linguistic measures mirror the clinical course, comparing one successful with one unsuccessful case. The measures point to nodal periods in the analytic work, which were clinically examined to ascertain why one case progressed, with a successful termination, while the other did not, ending with a forced interruption by the analyst. | | MP3 | | $10.00 | | $10.00 | |

Assistant for Special Projects, City of Concord, NH Green building practices do not need to be limited to new construction: historic properties can be an important way to incorporate green building into existing building stock and play an important role in downtown revitalization. This panel describes US EPA's efforts to assist in green historic preservation nationwide, focusing on EPA's recent Concord, NH, technical assistance project to help Concord identify tools to sustainably redevelop the upper stories of their historic properties downtown. The panel discusses lessons learned and provide tools for both developers and communities. In addition, the assessment tool resulting from the project is presented, designed to help determine how successful a community has been in marrying green building practices, historic preservation, and smart growth principles. | | MP3 | | $10.00 | | $10.00 | |
