In “The Psychoanalytic Mode of Thought and its Application to the Non-Normative Analysis of Sexuality and Gender,” Brian Kloppenberg will articulate how the application of a particularly psychoanalytic mode of thinking to the categories of sexuality and gender must involve a necessary challenge to the normative ideas and ideals that inevitably imbue these interrelated, yet by no means straightforwardly linked, categories. A particular take on Freudian theory will be offered that draws upon two interpretive readings: (1) William Grossman’s distillation of Freud’s conceptualization of the psychoanalytic mode of thought and (2) Grossman and Donald Kaplan’s delineation of three Freudian commentaries on sexuality and gender. Together, these two readings allow for a return to Freudian thinking at its most interrogative and open-ended – both in terms of the process of building theory itself as well as the specific challenges involved in building psychoanalytic theory about sexuality and gender.
Participants:
Brian Kloppenberg is a psychoanalyst in private practice in New York City and a Fellow of the International Psychoanalytic Association. He is a Member of the National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis and an Associate Member of the Institute for Psychoanalytic Training and Research. Brian Kloppenberg is a Training Analyst and Supervisor at NPAP where he teaches a foundation course on human development as well as an elective on the work of Hans Loewald. He is a former Director of the Theodor Reik Clinical Center from 2010-2012 and was Dean of Training from 2012-14. At IPTAR, he will be teaching a course on the non-normative psychoanalysis of sexuality and gender in early 2015. Most recently, he presented a paper on Loewald, Heidegger, and Luce Irigaray at the New School for Social Research as part of their Hans Loewald Conference.
Rosemary Balsam, M.D. is a Fellow of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, London; Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Yale University School of Medicine; Staff Psychiatrist at the Yale Student Mental Health and Counseling Service; and Training and Supervising Analyst at Western New England Institute for Psychoanalysis. She is the author of numerous writings, including Women’s Bodies in Psychoanalysis published in 2012 by Routledge.
Robert Smith, M.D. is a Training and Supervising Analyst and Chair of Curriculum at NYPSI where he teaches the course on Freud’s final model of the mind. He has also taught very well received courses in the psychology externship and psychotherapy programs and was the Associate Director of the NYPSI Treatment Center for fourteen years. Dr. Smith is Clinical Instructor at the Mt. Sinai School of Medicine where he teaches the popular introduction to psychotherapy technique course to the second year residents. Currently involved in an effort to implement a new curriculum at NYPSI, Dr. Smith is working with Dr. Mark Solms and others to integrate neuropsychoanalysis further into the NYPSI curriculum. Dr. Smith is interested in the relationship between theory and practice and was particularly excited about the prospect of discussing Dr. Kloppenberg’s paper since it utilizes the ideas of William Grossman who was one of the most inspiring teachers Dr. Smith encountered in his academic life.
All are welcome. Light refreshments will be served.
Educational Objectives:
After attending, participants will be able to
1. Clarify and elaborate a specifically psychoanalytic approach to the non-normative analysis of sexuality and gender.
2. Specify how Freud both exemplifies and falls short of his own psychoanalytic mode of thought in the analysis of sexuality and gender in light of more recent contributions to this area of study, with a special emphasis on the work of William Grossman and Donald Kaplan.
3. Elucidate how contemporary psychoanalytic theory and practice can integrate what is radical in Freud’s psychoanalysis within the context of a profoundly different cultural milieu.
