Psychoanalysis and Neuroscience Symposium

Speakers: Charles P. Fisher, Mark Solms

Dr. Solms presents a compelling thesis that “turns the talking cure on its head” while preserving Freud’s fundamental discoveries. Freud saw the ego as the seat of consciousness and the id as deeply unconscious. However modern neuroscience suggests that consciousness is generated in primitive brain structures that mediate instinctual drives, while the higher structures that represent the external world are unconscious in themselves. Is the id conscious and the ego unconscious? This revision would resolve certain difficulties with Freud’s original formulations, while reinforcing the clinical utility of his basic concepts. The group discusses how this revised model clarifies clinical work.

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.

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
