Works in Progress Seminar: Who was R.D. Laing?
During the countercultural revolution of the 1960s and 70s, R.D. Laing was the most famous psychiatrist in the world — and arguably the most controversial psychoanalytic thinker since Freud. Regarded as the father of the antipsychiatry movement, Laing challenged the basis of conventional psychiatric treatment, particularly with regard to schizophrenics. His ideas enraged the psychiatric establishment but caught the imagination of the public at large. Laing’s books – The Divided Self, Sanity, Madness, and the Family, and The Politics of Experience – sold millions of copies and cemented his status as a culture hero. But by the time Laing died in 1989, his influence had all but vanished. Dr. Mezan will give a portrait of the man and his ideas, based on his encounters and friendship with Laing and the world surrounding him. Continue reading Who was R.D.

Modern Kleinian Clinical Case Seminars with Phee Rosnick and Ann Rudovsky at CFS

Modern Kleinian Clinical Case Seminars
Three-Session Program (6 Contact Hours)
Presenters: Phee Rosnick, PhD and Ann Rudovsky, LCSW
Date: Fridays, April 14, May 12, and June 2, 2017
Time: 1:30-3:30pm

These clinical seminars will focus on the contribution the Modern Kleinians have made to working with patients with more severe pathology. Typically, they struggle with either absent or persecutory internalized objects, cruel superegos, feelings of fragmentation, and a failure of self-object differentiation. Primitive defenses including projective identification, splitting, denial, manic triumph, as well as omnipotent solutions and devaluation are used in an attempt to avoid overwhelming feelings of anxiety, despair, and/or narcissistic humiliation. These patients are prone to develop intense and primitive transferences which in turn provoke disturbing counter- Continue reading Modern Kleinian Clinical Case Seminars with Phee Rosnick and Ann Rudovsky at CFS

Reflections on Klein’s Radical Notion of Phantasy and its Implications for Analytic Practice with Rachel Blass, PhD at NYPSI

NYPSI’s 1020th Scientific Program Meeting: Reflections on Klein’s Radical Notion of Phantasy and its Implications for Analytic Practice
with Rachel Blass, PhD

Tuesday, April 4, 2017 at 8 pm, New York Psychoanalytic Society & Institute, 247 East 82nd Street, NYC (btwn 2nd and 3rd Aves)

Analysts may incorporate many of Melanie Klein’s important contributions (e.g., on preoedipal dynamics, envy, and projective identification) without transforming their basic analytic approach. In this lecture I argue that adopting the Kleinian notion of unconscious phantasy is transformative. This notion of phantasy is grounded in Freud’s thinking and draws out something that is essential to his work. At the same it involves a radical change that defines Kleinian thinking and practice and significantly impacts the analyst’s basic clinical approach. This impact and its technical implications in the analytic situation will be illustrated and discussed.
