Reconnecting Psychoanalysis to Academic Psychology:
Contrasting Perspectives
Join us for a dialogue between Robert Bornstein, Ph.D., Wilma Bucci, Ph.D. and the audience. Dr. Bornstein argues that psychoanalytic concepts have been co-opted and reinvented by mainstream psychology while psychoanalysis has become marginalized. He contends that we must test our ideas empirically and be more proactive when these ideas are renamed and “rediscovered” by others. Dr. Bucci agrees with the unacknowledged contribution of psychoanalytic ideas to academic psychology, but argues that to build bridges we need to clean up our psychoanalytic conceptual house rather than try to test ideas that are ill defined.
