Presenter: Edward Eismann, Ph.D. (Bronx, NY)
Discussant: Neil Altman, Ph.D. (New York, NY)
This symposium, sponsored by the APsaA Schools Committee, co-chaired by John S. Tieman, Ph.D. and Tillie Garfinkel, M.Ed., will consider evolving ideas of social psychoanalytic practice with children in settings ranging from local (classroom, neighborhood, and village) to global community systems. Three analysts will describe child treatment models that depend on the analyst working in concert with the child’s social systems. Tracing change in the child, community and analyst, participants will ponder about a relational response to our current socio-cultural harms. Dr. Eismann will narrate and illustrate in video his 49 year community practice in the South Bronx stemming from Freudian, Adlerian, and social support theory perspectives. Ms. Sacramone will offer case material from a child-in-community practice grounded on infancy research, and self-psychology. Dr. Altman will discuss his observations of communities internationally that developed unique culturally based therapeutic approaches. | | MP3 | | $15.00 | | $15.00 | |

Presenter: Harold Kudler, M.D. (Washington, DC)
Discussant: Norman M. Camp, M.D. (Richmond, VA)
The Service Member and Veterans Initiative (SVI) seeks to guide the American Psychoanalytic Association’s efforts to elucidate and alleviate the psychological trauma of war. This requires articulation of the concept of traumatic stress in terms that can be shared and acted upon across a broad range of theoretical perspectives, mental health disciplines, and systems of care. This presentation by Harold Kudler, Chief Consultant for Mental Health for the Department of Veterans Affairs and SVI Chair, will offer a common language for understanding psychological trauma and propose a practical path for implementing this perspective in direct work with patients and their families, clinical supervision, teaching, research, and enhancement of systems of care.
