SOME COMPLICATIONS IN TREATING BAD FATHERS
PRESENTER: ASHER KAHN, Ph.D.
Working with fathers can be rewarding, fascinating, and challenging, particularly when they present as “bad fathers.” Within the dynamic makeup of these patients, there are some common threads. They can present as abusive, authoritarian, and bullying while, at the same time, they experience a deep and pervasive need for tenderness, understanding and love.
Dr. Kahn will share his work with patients who fit this category. He will discuss the challenges, and struggles with the clinical, transferential and counter-transferential dilemmas they present, such as: How can a therapist interact with these seemingly opposite Continue reading Some Complications in Treating Bad Fathers with Asher Kahn at MITPP

PROGRAM, 9am — BREAKFAST, 9:30am – 10:30am — Dr. Jonathan House
Après-coup, Freud’s Nachträglichkeit, is an essential psychoanalytic concept structuring each of four concepts, four mental processes that lie at the foundation of Freud’s thinking: psychic trauma, repression, the creation of the unconscious, and the creation of infantile sexuality. It is argued here that infantile sexual drives, in contrast to the self-preservative instincts, arise from a two-step process of translation and repression in which the residues of failed translation become source-objects of the drives. These residues of failed translation have an associative resonance with adult sexuality, and the child is driven to ongoing attempts to translate them, to make them meaningful après coup. Thus, après-coup is at the heart of the human subject as a sexual creature who requires, desires, and creates meaning.
10:30am – 11am – Response by Dr. Doris Silverman

Seidenberg Prize
The Chicago Institute is very pleased to be sponsoring a unique one-time paper prize this year for the two best papers on “Psychoanalytic Perspectives on Problems of Incarceration.” Since this prize is new with a short time line (deadline to submit papers is March 1), we need help ensuring that people hear about it and have a chance to submit a paper.
We’d greatly appreciate it if you could circulate the attached announcement to your contacts–any colleagues, graduate students and friends who might be interested in contributing a paper. The first-place award is $15,000 and the second-place award is $5,000.
More information is also available at our website, chicagoanalysis.org.
Denton’s Law Firm made this prize possible in honor of Institute Board member Harold Hirshman, who worked for years pro bono on a class action law suit known as Rasho. The settlement in the Rasho case provides for personnel and facilities for mental health services for prisoners who are mentally ill.
Commenting on the settlement, Harold said, “This truly is a humane and monumental settlement that will have a lasting impact on the Continue reading Seidenberg Prize
