Presents:


An Overview of Psychoanalytic Business and Organizational Consulting

This seminar will introduce interested psychoanalysts and psychoanalytically-oriented therapists to consulting to businesses and organizations in the private and public sector.  The course reviews the development of this field from Freud¹s nascent thinking about group psychology to the work of Klein, Bion, and later object-relations theorists, to modern day thinking of representatives from ego, self and relational psychologies and from the business world.  Historical and present day case material is used to illustrate the utility of this approach and to lend texture to introductory readings in the field. Consideration is given to the technical and practical considerations of beginning a practice and carrying out a consultancy.

This course will explore the following topics:

1.    Group Psychology.
2.    Consultation methods.
3.    Psychodynamics in modern organizations.
4.    Ego Psychology, Object Relations theory, and Self Psychology tools.
5.    Consultation as a practice.

 Programs for the Public and Mental Health Professionals

   Close-Ups: Psychoanalysts Look at Film

 The 22nd Annual Film/Lecture Series

 At

The Baltimore Museum of Art

Charles and 31st St.

Fridays April - May, 2004  7:30 p.m.

 


Frida
(2002) U.S.A.

Friday, April 23, 7:30 p.m.

Director: Julie Taymor

Discussant: Joseph Bierman,  M.D.

Frida is the movie adaptation of a biography of Frida Kahlo, an outstanding Mexican artist married to Diego Rivera, the famous muralist. Lookalike Salma Hayak portrays the fascinating, tumultuous, and artistically original life of Frida that was profoundly influenced by a crippling teenage accident. The film explores the relationship between life, trauma and artistic creativity.

 



The Hours
(2002) U.S.A.

Friday, April 30  7:30pm

Director: Stephan Daldry

Discussant: Barbara Young,  M.D.

When an hour seems like eternity, you know you're depressed. The Hours is a moving film-collage of the lives of three depressed women. Virginia Woolf fought valiantly against the devastation of manic-depressive illness. Her love of the world and her gift for capturing that love in writing kept her alive for many years. Laura Brown did not have that gift; she was forced to escape her sense of emptiness by abandoning her family. Clarissa Vaughn, going about her busy fulfilled life, was haunted by the existential questioning familiar to us all. The Hours leaves us sober, yet we are enriched, even uplifted by the beauty of the acting, and the skillful creation of the film.



Eyes wide Shut
(1999) U.S.A.

Friday, May 7  7:30pm

Director: Stanley Kubrick

Discussant: Allan Gold,  M.D.

Stanley Kubrick's long-awaited controversial film Eyes Wide Shut, conceived thirty years ago and completed twelve years after his prior film, Full Metal Jacket, is a cinematic and psychological tour de force. A successful New York doctor (Tom Cruise) wanders through the city in a series of disturbing erotic adventures after he is shaken by his wife's (Nicole Kidman) disclosure that she would have risked everything the summer before for one night with a naval officer she glanced at only briefly. Closely based on the 1926 Viennese novel Dream Story by Freud's friend, Dr. Arthur Schnitzler, the film explores the ambiguity between fantasy and reality, dream and waking life, eroticism and intimacy.

 



One Hour Photo
(2002) U.S.A.

Friday, May 14  7:30pm

Director: Mark Romanek

Discussant: George Gallahorn,  M.D.

This film has been characterized as both a drama and a thriller. "Sy the photo guy" works in a one-hour photo-developing lab. He is obsessed with a particular family because of their apparent perfect life. When lonely, isolated Sy discovers that his ideal family is not perfect, he begins to fall apart. This film portrays the many problems associated with intense narcissistic investment in another person. We also come to understand some reasons for Sy's conflicts. Robin Williams is excellent  in his dramatic role as Sy.

 


Films are chosen for this series because they are psychologically perceptive and stir the emotions and curiosity of the discussants. Looking through the lens of psychoanalysis enriches the viewers' appreciation of the film, and stimulates psychological insight into the emotions and thoughts evoked by the images and sounds from the screen.
