Speaker: Georgia Royalty, PhD

Inter-Institute Forum Commentators: Martin Ceaser, MD, Elizabeth Fritsch, PhD Fonya Helm, PhD,  Jill Scharff, MD and Louis Spitz, MD

 

“Contemporary Thinking about Clinical Psychoanalysis”

 

To provide the opportunity for dialogue among five psychoanalytic institutes in the Baltimore- Washington area, Dr. Georgia Royalty will present a compelling analytic case which will provide the clinical nexus for discussion. Dr. Royalty and her patient, someone with great strengths and complicated vulnerabilities, struggle vigorously in the consulting room as the patient works to regain a stable sense of identity and self.

Five senior analysts representing the five institutes will provide short commentaries on the case to initiate an exchange of ideas: "First Words." This will be followed by small group discussions and, finally, a large group discussion moderated by

Dr. Elizabeth Fritsch: "Last Words." We will consider how different psychoanalytic practitioners conceptualize the case theoretically and what implications this has for technique; how different conceptualizations might converge in a shared view, language and therapeutic action; and how different models might diverge with little common ground.


Participants will understand how different schools of psychoanalytic thought conceptualize a clinical case and will compare and contrast these conceptualizations.

"Childhood Romance Denied: The Oedipal Drama and Its Impact on the Lives of Gay Men"

Speaker: Gary Grossman, Ph.D.


For the young child who is deeply immersed in romantic fantasies about his/her parent, the Oedipal experience serves as a dress rehearsal for later romantic relationships. The parents’ responses to their child’s fantasies will have a profound effect on the developing child’s internal image of him/herself as lover and beloved. Dr. Grossman will describe some potential Oedipal scenarios for boys who grow up to be gay. Drawing on work with adult gay men in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, the psychological consequences of empathic failures during the Oedipal stage will be addressed, with a particular emphasis on internalized homophobia and adult romantic relationships.

Dr. Grossman is a psychologist and psychoanalyst with over 25 years of experience working with gay men. He has taught in a variety of academic and clinical settings in the areas of psychoanalysis and homosexuality, gay adolescence, the psychological impact of HIV disease, and erotic transference. He is an Assistant Clinical Professor, Department of Psychiatry, University of California, San Francisco and is a member and faculty of the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis, where he is also Chair of the Community Education and Service Division.

Dr. Grossman is the former Chair of the Committee on Gay and Lesbian Issues of the American Psychoanalytic Association and currently serves on the Association’s Program Committee. His paper, “Queering Psychoanalysis” was published in the 2002 Volume of The Annual of Psychoanalysis. He is in private practice of psychoanalysis, psychotherapy & consultation in San Francisco.

"Play, Metaphor, and Action in Child Analysis"

Speaker:  Judith A. Yanof, M.D.

Discussant: Barry Landau, M.D. 


One of the important features of child psychoanalytic technique is that child analysts use a different language with children, the language of play.  This paper explores the ways in which play functions as a language, using conceptual metaphors, as well as, symbolized and unsymbolized modes of communicating. These aspects of play are richly illustrated through the presentation of a child analytic case.


Goals:

1. To present an understanding of how play is used in child analysis as a tool to gain understanding, communicate emotional experience, and bring about change.

2. To use the concept of metaphor to help us understand the therapeutic action of play.  Metaphor is used here, not simply as figure of speech, but as a fundamental mode of human cognition - the way brains categorize experience (Lakoff & Johnson).

3. To make important segues between adult and child analytic concepts of technique and therapeutic action.


Judith A. Yanof, M.D., is a Training and Supervising Analyst and a Child Supervisor at the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute.  She is also an Instructor at the Harvard Medical School.  She has written articles on several different aspects of child analysis, including gender, development, transference, and termination.  Her article, "Language, Communication, and Transference in Child Analysis:  Is Child Analysis Really Analysis?" received the 1996 Journal Essay Award of the Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association.  She serves on the Editorial Board of JAPA, and The Psychoanalytic Study of the Child and is a Reader for The Psychoanalytic Quarterly. She is a volunteer consultant to Boston University’s Child Witness to Violence Program.  She chairs many outreach programs at BPSI including the community film program, Off the Couch: Psychoanalysis Goes to the Movies.

Sixth Annual Paul Gray Visiting Scholar Weekend

 

 5:00 – 6:30 p.m.

"Meeting the Needs of Wider-Scope Patients: Multi-theoretical Uses of Close Process Attention"

Speaker:  Dorothy E. Holmes, Ph. D.

 

Can the close process attention method of analytic listening be applied to the treatment of wider scope patients? In such cases how best can an analyst integrate multiple theoretical perspectives? Dr. Holmes will examine the case of a complex wider scope analytic patient to demonstrate the application of close process attention technique within self psychological and object relations theoretical approaches. Dr. Holmes will further explore the nature of the lags between current acceptance of theoretical pluralism in psychoanalysis and the full adoption of pluralism in clinical practice.

 

Martin Ceasar, M.D., Teaching Analyst at the Baltimore Washington Institute for Psychoanalysis, will moderate an audience discussion.

 

No registration is required for the Forum. CME and CEU credits for non-members: $30.00 charge ($20 per hour for 1.5 hours), payable to the BW Institute. Certificates will be available at the time of the Forum.

 Multi-theoretical Integration of Close Process Attention Listening

 

A multi-presenter workshop

 

The colloquium will offer a round table setting for participants to address the question “Is there, or might there usefully be, a close process attention listening aspect in cases treated from other viewpoints?” Paula Ellman, Ph. D., from the New York Freudian Society, Fonya Helm, Ph.D., from the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis, and Jill Savege Scharff, M.D., Chair, International Institute of Psychoanalytic Training, will each present a clinical vignette from their preferred theoretical perspective. These presenters, Dr. Holmes, and the attendees will see how technique might be changed, for better or worse, by the application of the close process attention listening technique.

 

Rachel Ritvo, M.D., member, Baltimore Washington Institute for Psychoanalysis, will moderate.

A speaker at national and regional psychoanalytic forums and conferences, Dr. Holmes recently addressed the Toronto Psychoanalytic Society on the necessity of a pluralistic approach in conducting psychoanalyses.

Close-Ups: Psychoanalysts Look at Film

The 29th Annual Film/Lecture Series
 Baltimore Museum of Art (10 Art Museum Drive)

Fridays, March 26, April 9, April 16, & April 30, 2010; 7:30pm


Probing Hearts & Minds Through Cinema

 

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

Brothers (2004) Rated R – Denmark – English subtitles  
Director: Susanne Bier                                                                                                                                     

                                                                                                                                                                                            

Discussant: George Gallahorn, M.D.

 

This powerful film shows the consequences of unconsciously assigned “good” and “bad” roles of brothers within a family. The “good” brother volunteers for the Danish military in Afghanistan as a moral duty and is presumed killed. He is actually captured and traumatized as a prisoner. We see the evident impact of the post-traumatic stress and the defenses associated with it for the traumatized individual and the affected family members. This film won the audience award at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival.

Happy-Go-Lucky (2008) Rated R – UK
Director: Mike Leigh     
                                                                                                                                                               

Discussant: Joseph Bierman, M.D.

 

Happy-Go-Lucky features an attractive, single, primary school teacher who regularly smiles and jokes. Even the grimace from the sudden pain caused by a physical therapist’s manipulation of her aching back is perfused with a smile. Driving lessons with an emotionally precarious, single, male instructor reveal how driven and, at times, self-defeating her seemingly carefree jocularity can be. She insists on wearing her favorite boots with high heels for each lesson, even though he says it is too hard to drive with them. The happy-go-lucky attitude can also keep her unaware of her need to get hurt by others. But her realistic side emerges when the instructor, jealously angry, drives dangerously and needs to be controlled by her. As a teacher, she realistically controls an angry bully, appropriately referring him to a handsome social worker, with whom she then quickly starts a smiling affair.

Revolutionary Road (2008) Rated R – USA

Director: Sam Mendes


Discussant: Silvia Bell, Ph.D.

 

Outwardly living a comfortable middle class existence, a bright, attractive couple aspires to greatness, but gradually appears to succumb to the mediocrity that surrounds them. Critics have commented on the “stultifying experience” of white-collar life, the “opulent desolation of the American suburbs,” the “quiet desperation” of thwarted dreams in post-war America. Suburbia is, however, like a pastel colored stage that highlights in stark contrast the psychological and interpersonal factors that lock the characters in a downward spiral. The protagonists turn disappointments into crushing attacks against one another and, eventually, against themselves.

Ladies in Lavender (2004) Rated PG – U.K.

Director: Charles Dance


Discussant: Jill Berkowitz, M.D.

 

Two elderly sisters, both spinsters, have tenderly and carefully tucked their delicate feelings and precious memories away in lavender. To their great surprise, these need to be unwrapped and reconsidered when a beautiful and mysterious boy is delivered out of the waters onto their Cornwall beach. The sisters are played with great subtlety by Judi Dench and Maggie Smith, who gradually transform a surface placidity into a moving psychological drama.
