“The Claustro-Agoraphobic Dilemma: Psychic Retreats and Working Toward Psychic Spaces – Technique in Theory and Practice”
Facilitator: Susan N. Finkelstein, LCSW, CFS Training Analyst

These five meetings will focus on Henri Rey’s concept of marsupial space, and the claustro-agoraphobic dilemma as well as Dana Birksted Breen’s concepts of temporality and psychoanalytic theories of mind.

Each meeting will combine readings (Henri Rey, Dana Birksted Breen, Ignes Sodre, and John Steiner) with the discussion of clinical material from the participants. The emphasis will be on the movement out of the claustrum and psychic retreats of narcissistic character pathology toward movement into the conflicts of triangular space and otherness. Meetings can be extended depending on group interest.

Rey and Breen’s concepts, particularly the idea of how mental representation is transformed, will be compared and emphasized as a means of establishing new psychic spaces in the analytic dyad, and in understanding who is who as the internal object in the room so that reparation, rather than impasse, might occur. Clinical case material will be a part of each meeting to “explain” the theoretical concepts.
