SCIENTIFIC MEETING
Thursday, October 23, 2008 at 8:00 PM
REVOLUTION IN MIND
George Makari has written a moving and definitive history on the passions and complexities of the Psychoanalytic movement – “Revolution in Mind.” In this scientific meeting, Dr. Makari will take us on a European journey beginning in the late nineteenth century and ending at 1945. In his presentation, he reviews many of the character who helped forge the young science. This includes the early contributions and conflicts with Bleuler, Jung and Adler, who eventually split off from the field, but also Ferenczi, Klein, Horney and others who struggled to improve the field. This presentation goes beyond the partisan myths and polemics offering a history that not only clarifies what was scientifically evident at the time, what Psychoanalysis added to this, and what was lost when the world became engulfed in the cataclysmic Second World War.
Presenter:
GEORGE MAKARI, M.D., is the director of Cornell’s Institute for the History of Psychiatry, associate professor of psychiatry at Weill Medical College, adjunct associate professor at Rockefeller University, and a faculty member of Columbia University’s Psychoanalytic Center. His writings on the history of psychoanalysis have won numerous awards. He lives in New York City.
