Revolution in Mind:  The Creation of Psychoanalysis

Tuesday, February 9, 2010, 8:15 p.m.

George J. Makari, M.D. will speak about the ways that changing ideas on the psyche during the 19th century led to the formation of the Freudian field.  How the first Freudian community coalesced and fragmented in Europe.  The shifts that transformed that Freudian community into a psychoanalytic one, and the power struggles that emerged with exile to America and Britain.  Richard M. Gottlieb, M.D. will introduce Dr. Makari.

Dr. Makari is the Director of Cornell’s DeWitt Wallace Institute for the History of Psychiatry, a Professor at Weill Medical College of Cornell University, and an Adjunct Professor at Rockefeller University & Columbia University’s Psychoanalytic Center.  Dr. Gottlieb is a Training and Supervising Analyst at Berkshire Psychoanalytic Institute and on the Faculty at The New York Psychoanalytic Institute and Society.
