Three authors will present their latest book: Steven Cooper, “The Analyst’s Experience of the Depressive Position,” Margaret Crastnopol, “Micro-trauma: A Psychoanalytic Understanding of Cumulative Psychic Injury,” and Adrienne Harris, Margery Kalb and Susan Klebanoff, “Ghosts in the Consulting Room: Echoes of Trauma in Psychoanalysis.” Each author explores aspects of a relational approach to psychoanalysis that is distinct in its own right. They will participate in a discussion with the audience and between themselves to further elucidate the nature of their contribution. The chair will moderate the discussion from the perspective of the differences and similarities in their approach in order to demonstrate the increasing depth of the relational approach. The focus for all three is on the analyst’s centrality in determining the content and course of an analysis.

Symposium II: Poetry and Psychoanalysis

Speakers: Moderator: Carol Snow (San Francisco, CA) Presenters: Forrest Hamer, Ph.D. (Oakland, CA) Susan Kolodny, D.M.H. (Oakland, CA)

This symposium will be a moderated conversation between three analyst-poets and a poet “interviewer” reflecting on the relationship between psychoanalysis and poetry. Listening, embodied experience, time, language, inspiration, blocks to (and supports of) creative expression all will be considered. The three will discuss the process of making poems, their own paths to writing poetry, as well as the relationship of poetry to psychoanalysis. The two psychoanalyst-poets are Forrest Hamer, Ph.D. and Susan Kolodny, D.M.H. The interviewing poet is Carol Snow who is an esteemed poet and not a psychoanalyst.
