Speakers: Elizabeth Auchincloss, Eslee Samberg

Drs. Elizabeth Auchincloss and Eslee Samberg, co-editors-in-chief of “Psychoanalytic Terms and Concepts,” a volume co-published by Yale University Press and the American Psychoanalytic Association, present the challenges encountered in editing a psychoanalytic dictionary in this age of theoretical pluralism and postmodern challenges to “authority.” The editors describe the strategies they employed in their management of “point of view” and give specific examples to illustrate the political issues they negotiated in defi ning terms and concepts.

Scientific Paper 4: Running Head: The Translational Metaphor

Speakers: Lewis Allen Kirshner

The translational metaphor in psychoanalysis refers to the traditional method of restating or interpreting verbal and behavioral information in psychodynamic or developmental language that presumably explains presenting symptoms. 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. The paper presents an historical overview with clinical illustrations

Professional Development Workshop 1 – Guidelines for Engaging with the Media

Speakers: William H. Braun, Geralyn Leaderman, Gail Saltz MD

Mental health professionals are sought after by members of the media seeking background information or quotes for their stories. Engaging with the media offers analysts the opportunity to lend a news story a psychoanalytic perspective, leading to a greater understanding of psychoanalysis among members of the public. This workshop addresses how to give an interview for print, television and radio, what to keep in mind when speaking to reporters and tips for staying on message. We also discuss writing successful opinion pieces and letters-to-the-editor.
