"Thoughts on Therapeutic Action: A Child analytic Perspective"

Steven Wein, M.D.

Discussant:

Paula Atkeson, D.S.W.

How much does child analysis interrupt or enhance optimal development? The immaturity of defenses,
the plasticity of mental life, and the pressure to terminate treatment of the developing child all distinguish
child analysis from that of adults. 

Steven Wein, M.D., a Training and Supervising Analyst and Supervisor for Child and Adolescent
Analysis at the New York Psychoanalytic Institute, will present data from the analysis of a latency child
in order to highlight questions of therapeutic action and technique.  How much do reconstruction of
trauma and interpretation of current psychodynamics illuminate or obscure each other? How do the
pressures of child analysis cast light on problems in adult analysis?

"A Different Conception of Aggression: Theory and Technical Implications"
Speaker:  Ana-Maria Rizzuto, M.D.

Discussant:
Boyd Burris, M.D.

Ana-Maria Rizzuto, M.D., a Training and Supervisory Analyst at the Psychoanalytic Institute of New England, East, will discuss the subject of her new book, “The Dynamics of Human Aggression: Theoretical Foundations, Clinical Applications” (co-authors: W.W. Meissner, Dan H. Buie -2004).

Aggression, unlike the sexual drive, does not have a source, an aim or an object.  It does not qualify as a drive in psychoanalytic terms.  It can be understood as the potential available to the mind to overcome an obstacle that interferes with the completion of an intended action.  Aggression and the affects that motivate the aggressive action are clearly distinct. This conception supports a technique that aims at understanding the motivation of the original action and its affective source and the response of the mind when the action cannot be completed.  The technique that follows this conception of aggression offers a richer dynamic understanding of mental processes than that offered by aggression as a drive.

Barbara Young, M.D.

"Continuities and Discontinuities in Development: How it Looks from the Perspective of Child Analysis"

Kirsten Dahl, Ph.D.

Discussant:

Michael Jasnow, Ph.D.

Kirsten Dahl, Ph.D., is a Training and Supervising Analyst and Chair of the Child Psychoanalytic Training Program at the Western New England Institute for Psychoanalysis.  Dr. Dahl is an Associate Clinical Professor at the Yale University Child Study Center. 

Development is characterized by discontinuities, as well as continuities.  These pathways are marked by major shifts, during which there is greater integration and consolidation of previous developmental attainments.  What may look seamless retrospectively does not appear so to the child analyst.  The child analyst working with young children is often impressed by the magnitude of behavioral, cognitive and emotional changes that accompany developmental re-organizations.  While the analyst of adults has the impression that she is working with one mind, multi-dimension and multi-layered thought, the child analyst often has the feeling that in the course of childhood the development of the mind involves such extraordinary re-organizations that there appear to be different minds, with little or no communication with the “old mind” once a new one has taken hold.  Clinical material from the analyses of a toddler, a child at ages 4 ½ and 7 and a young adult to illustrate this point.

Psychoanalytic and Psychodynamic Studies of the Baltimore Washington Institute for Psychoanalysis

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 Freud’s 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.

Julia and Thomas Saltz Annual Child Analysis Seminar/Workshop

 Perils, Pitfalls, and Pleasures in the Treatment of Adolescents

At this seminar/workshop, case presentations will draw on experiences in treating adolescents. Adolescence is a phase of development marked by complex change. As such, it presents specific challenges, but also provides a unique opportunity to address emotional conflict. Three case presentations will be the starting point for a discussion with the audience on the experience of working with adolescents. Ken struggled with severe anxiety and regression tied to early childhood trauma. Beccah, born with a life threatening illness, needed to relieve a pervasive sense of defectiveness through impulsive action that imperiled her safety. Ben, a talented and intelligent boy, was able to overcome severe inhibitions and passivity that interfered with developmental progress. Participants can expect to expand their understanding of adolescent development and the interplay between this development and the therapeutic interventions.

"In America" (2002) USA
Director: James Sheridan
Discussant: Allan Gold, M.D.

James Sheridan, director of My Left Foot and In the Name of the Father, creates an autobiographical story of an Irish family who come to America as illegal aliens after they have lost a young boy to brain cancer.  The parents and the boy’s two sisters make their way to Hell’s Kitchen in New York, and, in this improbable and dangerous environment, use their spirit of adventure to deny their unresolved grief which cannot be suppressed as the film progresses.  With uncannily compelling performances by the real life five and ten year old sisters and the adult leads, each character resolves his/her grief.  Mr. Sheridan created this film, out of his own experiences as an immigrant, and his now grown daughters joined him in writing the screenplay.

"Together" (2003) China
Director: Kaige Chen
Discussant: Leon Levin, M.D.

A 13-year-old Chinese violin prodigy, only child of a peasant father, moves with his father from their rural home to Beijing to enter the competitive world of world class music.  He is both a superb violinist and an early adolescent boy with the ordinary confusion and  developmental conflicts of his age.  The actor who plays the young prodigy is in fact a violin virtuoso who creates a sound track of stunning beauty.  Chen, who plays a music teacher in the film, has directed Yellow Earth and Farewell My Concubine.

Friday, April 15, 7:30 p.m.

Finding Nemo (2003) USA
Directors: Andrew Stanton, Lee Unkrich
Discussant: Noreen Honeycutt, Ph.D.

Animation comes to life in this rich and compelling under-the-sea story of an anxious and over-protective father’s search for his lost boy.  We follow Marlin on his desperate and comedic adventure “under the surface” as he confronts his fears, feelings and symptoms in a journey parallel to the therapeutic process.  The film critic Roger Ebert writes, “…[it has] an unexpected beauty, a use of color and form that makes it one of those rare movies where I wanted to sit in the front row and let the images wash out to the edge of my field of vision."
 

Friday, April 22, 7:30 p.m.

Lost in Translation (2003) USA
Director: Sofia Coppola
Discussant: Paul Roberts, M.D.

Bill Murray and Scarlett Johannson star in a movie written and directed by Sofia Coppola.  The bored and weary couple make ideal if improbable traveling companions, illustrating that everyone wants to be found, and that sometimes you have to go half way around the world (Japan) to come full circle.  Both are searching for the meaning of their lives, looking at the situation from different points of view.  The plot of the movie is the plot of life; you have a beginning, you’re in the middle; and it hasn’t ended yet.  The love between the two characters is not one of lust but rather one of emotional and psychological need.

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.

Continuing Education Accreditation

This program is directed to health care professionals as well as the public, and prior knowledge of psychoanalysis is not required.  The audience will gain insights into human psychology applicable to a general medical or psychotherapy practice through the application of psychoanalytic principles as elucidated through understanding films.

 Terrorism:  The New Peril

The international scourge of terrorism demands examination from various perspectives.  To explore its sources and impact, we bring together a public policy expert, a psychoanalyst, and a journalist.  From the vantage points of history, psychology, and direct contact with populations affected by terrorism, they will touch on many questions:  What is Al Qaeda? How do we understand its goals and vision? Is there a typical profile for a terrorist? Is terrorism war? What is the impact on a society where terrorism is part of daily life? Are there organizational requirements for a suicide bomber to succeed? Hopefully, a more comprehensive understanding will facilitate more effective responses to the spread of this new peril.
