SAVE THE DATE: IPA Visiting Scholar Clinical Weekend
November 21-23, 2014
“Knowledge as Construction, Knowledge as Experience: Reflections on Psychic Change”
The focus of the weekend will be to underline how different theoretical persuasions lead to differences in therapeutic aim, therapeutic action, and therapeutic technique.
Friday, November 21, 2014 8:00pm Scientific Paper and Discussion
Dr. Bell will start with a review of Freud’s paper “Constructions in Analysis”. He will ask fundamental questions about the aims of analysis (historical reconstruction vs. corrective emotional experience vs. expansion of the ego with the growth of insight, among others) and questions about knowledge as possession as against knowledge as experience. With clinical examples from his work as a Kleinian. Dr. Bell will defend the position that an analysis cannot be an analysis without understanding the way a patient’s inner world is brought into the consulting room, as distinct from reconstructing the events of the past as they bear upon the present.
This paper will be discussed by a Contemporary Freudian from the American region and moderated by Phillida Rosnick, PhD.
