Works in Progress Seminar: Sex, text, ur-text: Freud’s Dora and the erotics of knowing
This presentation draws on the first of a series of three essays on the erotics of knowing. The textual preoccupations of Freud’s case history of Dora encourage the illuminating exploration of its intertexual relationship with a referenced literary source (Arthur Schnitzler’s Paracelsus), as well as with an occult ur-text (Émile Zola’s Une page d’amour). These two texts anticipate, and, I propose, suggest two of Dora’s interrelated subtextual themes: the erotics of knowing and the problematics of reality. These subtexts are condensed within the leitmotif of textual suggestion: a symbolic Continue reading Sex, text, ur-text: Freud’s Dora and the erotics of knowing with Adele Tutter at NYPSI

In this presentation, Jack and Kerry Novick will share some ideas about broadening and enriching our analytic repertoire. How many channels do we have open when we are listening to adult patients? What can we bring to bear to encompass the complexity of adult personality, character, history and functioning? They suggest that there are aspects of developmental knowledge, experience, and child/adolescent technique that bring depth to work with adults and may at times illuminate obscure aspects of functioning or offer ways out of impasses. They describe these in the context of the therapeutic relationship in its many dimensions and in terms of the various ways that adults internalize and use parenting functions.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Austen Riggs Center Receives Major Grant to Support Human Development Strategic Initiative

Stockbridge, MA – April 6, 2017 – The Austen Riggs Center, through the Erikson Institute for Education and Research, has received a major grant from the John Leopold Weil and Geraldine Rickard Weil Memorial Charitable Foundation, Inc., to support its new Human Development Strategic Initiative. This multilayered initiative encompasses community intervention, research, and education, which are central tasks of the Erikson Institute. According to Dr. Donna Elmendorf, director of the Austen Riggs Therapeutic Community Program and leader of the Human Development Strategic Initiative, “The primary aim of this new endeavor is to support infant, child, and family mental health in Berkshire County, while also bringing a deeper understanding of the developmental process to the Riggs staff and patients. The Human Development Strategic Initiative will apply our relational view of early development to a community-based preventive model of care. The offerings will build on learning from our Therapeutic Community Program in which an individual is recognized, understood, and supported in the broader contexts of family, community, and society. This initiative provides an opportunity to extend the impact of our work beyond the small number of patients who have access to our intensive residential treatment through meaningful engagement in our local community. Staff and patients at Austen Riggs will, in turn, benefit from this effort as we deepen our knowledge about the impact of early adversity on the unfolding developmental process and about the importance of recognizing children’s early efforts at communicating. We are very grateful to the Weil Foundation for this important support.” Continue reading Austen Riggs Center Receives Major Grant to Support Human Development Strategic Initiative

Strategic Initiatives: Clinical Systems
By Margaret Parish, PhD

Our strategic planning process begins with our core clinical mission. The Austen Riggs Center exists, first and foremost, as a place where people can bring their troubles, learn about themselves, and discover resources and support for confronting the challenges of their lives. The Clinical Systems Strategic Initiative has three parts: redesigning the infrastructure that supports our ongoing clinical work, enhancing specific clinical programs, and seeking ways to offer our services to new groups of people. >>Read more Continue reading Austen Riggs April 2017 News & Events

A CLINICAL WORKSHOP: CHANGES IN THE THERAPIST’S LIFE: THEIR IMPACT ON THE PATIENT, THE THERAPIST AND THE DYAD with Ann Rudovsky at MITPP
By Categories: Announcements

THE METROPOLITAN INSTITUTE FOR TRAINING IN PSYCHOANALYTIC PSYCHOTHERAPY, THE METROPOLITAN CENTER FOR MENTAL HEALTH, and THE METROPOLITAN SOCIETY FOR PSYCHOANALYTIC PSYCHOTHERAPISTS invite you to

A CLINICAL WORKSHOP: CHANGES IN THE THERAPIST’S LIFE: THEIR IMPACT ON THE PATIENT, THE THERAPIST AND THE DYAD
SATURDAY, MAY 13, 2017, PRESENTER: ANN RUDOVSKY, LCSW

Changes in the therapist’s life often have a profound but unacknowledged impact on the treatment. These may include illness in the therapist as well as in his/her family members, impending separation, divorce, the birth of a child, especially a child with developmental or physical problems, and/or the emergence of severe conflicts with an adolescent. At the extreme, the therapist may be dealing with a death of a family member or catastrophic illness involving actual life or death issues. Whenever the nature of the crisis in the therapist’s personal life, however well-concealed it may seem, there are heightened transference and countertransference responses connected to a joint wish to collude in avoiding what seems like a shift in the therapist’s connection to his/her patient. The therapist can become overwhelmed by a variety of disturbing emotions: feelings of shame, guilt, anger, helplessness and narcissistic injury that accompany the reality of physical illness or Continue reading A CLINICAL WORKSHOP: CHANGES IN THE THERAPIST’S LIFE: THEIR IMPACT ON THE PATIENT, THE THERAPIST AND THE DYAD with Ann Rudovsky at MITPP

The Dream Cycle of the Analytic Couple with Steven Ellman at The New School
By Categories: Announcements

The Dream Cycle of the Analytic Couple: a talk by Steven Ellman with an introduction by Sheldon Bach Sunday, April 2, 2017 – 10:00am – 12:30pm, at the New School, Starr Foundation Hall, UL 102, University Center, 63 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10003

Dr. Ellman’s presentation will explore the analytic process as analogous to the manner in which the dream is an integrated part of a person’s sleep and waking experience. He will postulate that in optimal circumstances the dream is a welcome part of human life, but that unfortunately this is often not the case, as many adults suffer from some type of dreaming (sleep) disturbances. He will show how these disturbances mirror the difficulties in transference-countertransference cycles. He will demonstrate how conceptually enduring transference-countertransference states allow patients to experience their dreams, and he will explain how dreams are discharged in a manner that is parallel to difficulties in tolerating transference manifestations.
