Yet the body has fallen from grace in our fi eld nowadays. To focus this topic, Dr. Rosemary Balsam will discuss the impact of procreativity and the major accomplishment of the female body, childbirth, as utterly common, but yet the least psychoanalytically attended source of both positive and negative experiences that can shift body image and even gender portraiture. Old theory mainly fl ed it. Newer theories, by focusing too exclusively on the mind while largely ignoring the body, risk a similar female erasure. Audio CDs: 1 | | Audio CD | | $15.00 | | $15.00 | |

Gerber, Eve Caligor, Robert Michels Given the limited number of psychoanalytic outcome studies, pooling data is essential. Meta-analysis has been used extensively to aggregate the results of individual studies. The quality of a meta-analysis depends partly on studies having comparable methodology, especially with respect to patient inclusion criteria, treatment standards and primary outcome measures. Researchers must collaborate on methodology so the impact of their research is more than the sum of the parts. The intent of this forum is to attract both researchers and clinicians to an interactive session in which they act as a protocol development committee giving feedback to the presenters.
