Plenary Address: Have We Changed? Psychoanalytic Education, Treatment, and Diversity in a Changing World

Speakers: Chair & Introducer: Harriet L. Wolfe, M.D., President (San Francisco, CA) Speaker: Mark Smaller, Ph.D. (Chicago, IL)

If psychoanalysis is to go forward, survive, and thrive for new generations, dramatic change in the field will be essential. Methods of educating students to practice in today’s changing world will demand innovation like never before. In an age where information, human connection and nonconnection travels in seconds, the impact on the field can no longer be denied. This presentation will review recent changes in our organization and profession, and highlight areas that demand new strategies for survival. If new and diverse students, patients, and research are to be attracted to the field, traditional perspectives must welcome innovation that will enrich psychoanalytic ideas and practice. Strategies to facilitate change will be described with direction toward implementing critical change.

Plenary Address: “What About Curiosity?”

Speakers: Chair: Lee Jaffe, Ph.D., President-Elect (La Jolla, CA) Introducer: Ira Brenner, M.D. (Bala Cynwyd, PA) Speaker: Salman Akhtar, M.D. (Ardmore, PA)

This presentation will trace the origin of human curiosity to the interplay between hard-wired evolutionary imperatives and epigenetically unfolding psychosexual drives and relational scenarios of formative years. It will also address the forms and expressions of curiosity that are normative (e.g. developmental), and ubiquitous (e.g. existential), as well as those which are morbid in either quantitative (e.g. too much, too little), or qualitative (e.g. false, transgressive, prurient) sense. The intricate relationship between curiosity and creativity will also be discussed. Finally, the implications of such formations to the analytic situation (from both sides of the couch, and in between) shall be elucidated.

Scientific Paper 4: Psychoanalytic Field Theory and the Clinical Relevance of the Mind/Body Problem

Speakers: Chair: Martin A. Silverman, M.D. (Maplewood, NJ) Author: Montana Katz, Ph.D., L.P. (New York, NY) Discussant: Joseph D. Lichtenberg, M.D. (Bethesda, MD)

This paper addresses how psychoanalytic field theory models approach mind/body concepts and how this impacts clinical technique. Questions about the relationship, integration or reduction of the body and mind are approached theoretically by philosophers. For psychoanalysts the issues are saliently clinical. Field theory as developed by Baranger and Baranger, Ferro, and Levenson portray an evolution of field theory models that began employing a mind/body distinction, to offering techniques to bridge the divide between mind and body, and finally to a holistic model and technique. Performance art, a clinical example, and focus on specific clinical techniques are offered to support the discussion.
