Thinking About Analytic Training?

Join Us for the Psychoanalytic Center’s Open House Series

Case Discussion:

Three Psychoanalytic Perspectives

Sunday, October 15, 2006 3:00 - 5:30 PM

Come meet our members and learn about psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy in the 21 century.

CASE DISCUSSION

Susan Adelman, Ph.D.

Ira Brenner, M.D.

Jack Solomon, M.D.

How does a psychoanalytic therapist work differently than a therapist trained in some other theoretical model? How does he or she think about and formulate a case beyond the symptomatic approach of the DSM? How is the differential recommenda tion for psychotherapy or psychoanalysis made for a particular patient? When the work of therapy begins, what will differentiate psychotherapy from psychoanalysis in terms of technique, goals of treatment and satisfactory outcome?

In the past century, psychoanalytic knowledge has accumulated through clinical experience, by the addition of valuable new theoretical perspectives, such as self psychology and relationality, and through research in a variety of different but overlapping scientific disciplines, including neurobiology, child development (particularly attachment), and trauma. The practice of psychoanalysis has evolved in a parallel fashion due to its better understanding of a wider variety of human problems and its ability to treat a greater diversity of patients.

The Psychoanalytic Center has benefited from this progressive development of psychoanalysis and from the Center’s origin in the merger of two diverse institutes, both of which have resulted in a faculty that is broad in its knowledge and approach to treatment.

This Fall’s Open House will be in the format of a case presentation and panel discussion. Three psychoanalysts on the faculty of PCOP will discuss their particular ways of listening to and formulating a case along with their recommendations for treatment. The audience will be encouraged to pose its own questions to the analysts and to join in the discussion. Please join us for a lively and enlightening program.

The presentations will be followed by refreshments and discussion with members of the Center.

There will be opportunity to meet with faculty of the Psychoanalytic Institute, the Adult and Child Psychotherapy Programs, and the Fellowship Program, as well as with candidates, students and fellows.
