STEFANO BOLOGNINI MD
PRESIDENT, ITALIAN PSYCHOANALYTIC SOCIETY
PRESIDENT-ELECT, INTERNATIONAL PSYCHOANALYTIC ASSOCIATION
“Secret Passages: Theory & Technique of The Interpsychic Relationship”
Dr. Stefano Bolognini is known for his unique capacity to hold many different theories in mind as he works with patients. Rather than aligning himself with any particular psychoanalytic school of thought, Dr. Bolognini is able to integrate and respond to the patient with fine empathic attunement. He often speaks about his and the patient’s preconscious speaking with each other. It as at this juncture of preconscious communication that Dr. Bolognini’s engagement with the patient through “secret passages” leads to the inevitable teasing out of the transference/ countertransference relationship.
Dr. Bolognini will present his own clinical work and respond to presented clinical work. His clinical examples take a microscopic focus on moments of struggle in the effort to find analytic engagement at the preconscious level. The humanistic story of the analyst and patient is illuminated in fantasy and reality.
Linking crucial therapeutic process to his emerging ideas of shared unconscious dimensions, Dr. Bolognini will provide a forum for a lively discussion between all participants. Two clinicians will present a clinical hour and, after all participants have ample time to respond, Dr. Bolognini will bring their, and his, ideas into perspective. At the end of each day, three discussants will join Dr. Bolognini for an interactive discussion with each other and the entire group.
Dr. Bolognini has more than 130 psychoanalytic publications and has published four books with a fifth out this year.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
This conference is designed to help you:

– Demonstrate the capacity to describe analytic process beyond the level of its universality, focusing specifically on the analysand’s unique “secret passages” at the preconscious level
– Define interpsychic/”broad band” functioning and recognize it in clinical material which presents both intrapsychic and interpersonal dynamic currents
– Define the four fundamental mechanisms which produce both sleeping and daydreams, and apply them to demonstrate an ability to transform latent dream material into manifest content
– Summarize Bolognini’s description of the dynamics of panic attacks and be able to apply it to clinical case material
