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.

Presenters: Sarah Ackerman, Ph.D. (Hanover, NH)
Lawrence D. Blum, M.D. (Philadelphia, PA)

Michael E. Shulman, Ph.D. (Ann Arbor, MI)
This panel was proposed by Jennifer Stuart, Ph.D. Though psychoanalysis began as the creation of a single visionary, Freud’s place in education – both within our institutes and beyond – has been in dispute for years. Meanwhile, Freud’s ideas have become so deeply ingrained in our culture and practice that his influence can be overlooked. What elements of Freud’s thinking remain vital today? How might we help students of Freud to develop their own attitudes, both appreciative and critical, toward his work? Each member of this panel will teach, in real time, from an excerpt of Freud’s writing projected on screen for all to see. Panelists will demonstrate how contemporary perspectives – drawn from psychoanalysis itself, and from the humanities and social sciences – can engage both clinicians’ and non-clinicians’ interest in Freud.
