"Surviving in Absence: on the Preservative and Death Drive"

Cordelia Schmidt-Hellerau, Ph.D.


Cordelia Schmidt-Hellerau, Ph.D., is a Training and Supervising Analyst at the Swiss Psychoanalytic Society and faculty at The Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute, The Psychoanalytic Institute of New England East and The Massachusetts Institute of Psychoanalysis.  She is Permanent Lecturer
for Clinical Psychology at the University of Zurich, Switzerland.

This paper offers a new theoretical and clinical approach to a specific mental pathology that we experience with traumatized and early disturbed patients:  their absence, silence, withdrawal, "psychic retreat," negative therapeutic reaction, "negative narcissism," etc.  While much has been written about it from different perspectives, mostly focusing on aggression and self-destructive behavior, this author is interested in the patient's drives toward psychic states where self and/or object are often like a "dead
self" or a "dead object."  She rethinks the concepts of death and preservative drives with regard to object-relations, and reassesses these negative mental states and their inherent aggression.  Clinical material from a long psychoanalysis with a traumatized patient shows how these concepts can help us understand these patients' "deadness" and to rethink the treatment challenges.

"Analyzing Trauma in Children: The Importance and Complexity of Consciousness"

Alan Sugarman, Ph.D.

Discussant:  Barry Landau, M.D.

Alan Sugarman, Ph.D., is a psychologist in private practice in La Jolla, Ca.  He is a Training and Supervising Analyst and a Supervising Child and Adolescent Analyst at the San Diego Psychoanalytic Society and Institute and a Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the University of California, San Diego.  Dr. Sugarman has published widely, usually applying and integrating psychoanalytic developmental thinking to diagnosis and psychoanalytic treatment. 

The speaker will review theoretical understanding on how trauma becomes pathogenic and cite ways that clinicians can help patients understand what motivates them to keep such traumatic experiences unknowable.   This paper takes issue with the notion that trauma is pathogenic in its own right.  Instead, it is argued that trauma is experienced and processed by an already more or less structured mind that will define and make sense of trauma by integrating it into intrapsychic conflict and compromise formations including ones aimed at not knowing the trauma.  

This understanding of the impact of trauma dictates technical strategies. First, one has to help the patient understand what motivates his or her keeping such experiences unknowable. That is, it is just as crucial to promote conscious understanding of the ways in which the patient prevents himself from knowing traumatic mental content as it is to promote knowledge of the content itself. This presentation will elaborate on this point and use clinical vignettes to demonstrate how even very young children can be helped to gain conscious insightfulness into how their minds deal with trauma.

 


 

Second Paul Gray Memorial Lecture

 

April 29, 2006
 

 "The Patient-Analyst Collaboration"

 Marianne Goldberger, M.D.

Discussant:  Samuel Ritvo, M.D.
 

Addressing “The Patient-Analyst Collaboration,” Dr. Goldberger will share her techniques that translate the theoretical formulations of Paul Gray into specific interventions. Central to the patient analyst collaboration is the creation of an atmosphere of safety in the analytic situation, which is by its very nature dangerous, by minimizing the use of authority and suggestion while promoting looking together at the patient’s utterances.

Dr. Goldberger is a Training and Supervising Analyst at the Psychoanalytic Institute at New York University and Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at New York University Medical Center. She is on the editorial board of the Psychoanalytic Quarterly.

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.

At this seminar/workshop a case presentation will draw on experiences in treating an adolescent in a phase of development marked by complex change. As such, it presents specific challenges but also provides a unique opportunity to address emotional conflict.

Participants can expect to expand their under-standing of an adolescent’s development of a sexual orientation. They will also gain knowledge of the biological underpinnings and conflictual elements of sexual orientation. This seminar/workshop will help participants clarify/differentiate these contributions to sexual orientation.

This program is made possible through the generous gift of The Julia and Thomas Saltz Fund to the Baltimore Washington Institute for Psychoanalysis.

This educational activity is designed for mental health professionals and other professionals who work with children and adolescents.

This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the Essential Areas and Policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through the joint sponsorship of the American Psychoanalytic Association and the Baltimore Washington Institute for Psychoanalysis.

Contemporary American Theater Festival


The Baltimore Washington Center for Psychoanalysis is proud to partner with the Contemporary American Theater Festival in a July 16 post-show discussion about creativity and the creative process.

How does the creative mind work?  Out of everyday human struggles, creative and destructive forces arise. What emotions foster or inhibit the positive development of creativity?  What personal experiences can help or hinder this process?

Drs. Barbara Novak and Charles Parks will use Sheri Wilner's play "Father Joy" as the jumping off point for the discussion.  The play will be performed at 2:30 at Shepherd College; the "Under the Tent" post-show discussion will begin at 4:30 at the Entler Hotel, on German Street.

The popular regional festival is held annually in Shepherdstown, West Virginia (www.CATF.org).  Shepherdstown is a 45-minute drive from Frederick, MD

HOUSE OF SAND AND FOG (2003)  Rated R—USA
Director: Vadim Perelman
Discussant: Robert Lessey, M.D.


The House of Sand and Fog is a dark film, made all the more powerful by the stunning acting performances of Ben Kingsley and Jennifer Connelly. The struggles of two determined, but flawed protagonists over a rundown bungalow produce a series of agonizing crises in a relentlessly escalating plot. Enter a third character, who tips the fatal balance by falling in love. The film explores the traumas of immigration, loss of status, and failures of communication. First time director,Vadim Perelman, takes the novel of Andre Dubus III to the pantheon of classical tragedy.

REGARDING HENRY (1991) Rated PG-13—USA
Director: Mike Nichols
Discussant: Barbara Young,M.D


Slowly recovering from a coma after being shot in the head, Henry (Harrison Ford) must learn to speak, to walk, to tie his shoes, to read, and most difficult of all, to relate to his wife and daughter whom he no longer recognizes. Prior to his brain injury, Henry was an obsessive-compulsive, driven, cold-hearted man. The brain damage appears to eradicate his old personality. Henry gradually changes in response to the step-by step love and guidance of the therapists and his wife and daughter. Regarding Henry is a much deserved celebration of the dedication and skill of occupational and physical therapists.

 


Friday, May 19, 7:30 p.m.

PAPERHOUSE (1998) Rated PG-13—USA
Director: Bernard Rose
Discussant: George Gallahorn, M.D.

 

In this British film, Anna develops “glandular fever” (mononucleosis) on her eleventh birthday. Her feverish dreams evocatively represent the many conflicts of a girl’s pre-adolescence—both internal conflicts and those between her and her parents. Roger Ebert says about this film: “...every image has been distilled to the point of almost frightening simplicity. It’s like a Bergman film, in which the clarity is almost overwhelming...This one has the stark landscapes and the obsessively circling story lines of a dream—which is, of course, what it is.”

 

Friday, May 26, 7:30 p.m.

SIDEWAYS (2004) Rated R—USA
Director: Alexander Payne
Discussant: Joseph Bierman, M.D.

 

Miles and Jack, friends since college, are now middle-aged and unsuccessful. Miles invites Jack to a last fling trip through California wine country for the week before Jack is to be married. Jack is an addicted but charming womanizer who is interested only in bedding as many women as he can in the course of the trip. Marriage portends loss of freedom. Miles, a depressed school teacher, divorced and an unpublished novelist, is a connoisseur of wine who can only communicate through this intense preoccupation. Wine for Miles is a metaphor for character and life. He loves Pinot Noir, and has scorn for Merlot. Jack is direct, sensual and sometimes crude. Wine and women are for these men parallel but different ways of dealing with depression and anxiety. Their relationship with each other and the two women they meet on their trip form the basis for this very human comedy noir.

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.

September 11, 2005

9 AM to 12:30 PM

 
Jonathan Lear:

"Psychoanalysis and
Religious Belief"

In this talk Dr. Lear shall investigate Freud’s critique of religious belief. How does his argument work? Are there problems with it? What role, if any, should it play in current psychoanalytic practice?

1) Does Freud’s attitude toward religious belief persist into the present as an unacknowledged and unanalyzed aspect of our psychoanalytic present?

2) What should the attitude of an analyst/therapist be to a patient whose relation to religious belief differs markedly from the analyst’s?

Jonathan Lear is the John U. Nef Distinguished Service Professor at the Committee on Social Thought and the Department of Philosophy at the University of Chicago. He was educated at Yale, Cambridge University, and The Rockefeller University, where he did his Ph.D. in Philosophy. Before coming to Chicago he taught at Cambridge University, where he was a Fellow and Director of Studies in Philosophy at Clare College; and at Yale, where he served as Chair of the Philosophy Department and was the Kingman Brewster Professor of the Humanities. He trained as a psychoanalyst at the Western New England Institute for Psychoanalysis, and he now serves on the faculty of that Institute as well as the Chicago Institute for Psychoanalysis.

His books include "Aristotle and Logical Theory"; "Aristotle: The Desire to Understand"; "Love and Its Place in Nature: A Philosophical Introduction to Freudian Psychoanalysis"; "Open Minded: Working Out the Logic of the Soul"; "Happiness, Death and the Remainder of Life"; "Therapeutic Action: An Earnest Plea for Irony"; and the just-published "Freud."

Dr. James Herzog

Dr. Herzog will present the Saltz Grand Rounds at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, October 12, 2005, in the second floor auditorium of the Children’s National Medical Center (Children’s Hospital). In addition to his own book, Father Hunger, he has published extensively in the major psychoanalytic journals.* He is an outstanding child clinician whose presentations are clinically alive and theoretically meaningful.

The Saltz Grand Rounds is an annual lecture series made possible by a donation from Ellen Kolansky in memory of her mother and father, Julia and Thomas Saltz. Ellen’s purpose in establishing this lecture series was to provide an opportunity for trainees and others in the larger mental health community to hear first-hand about the vitality and efficacy of psychoanalytic approaches to working with children and adolescents.
