The Fundamental Epistemological Situation: Psychic Reality and the Limitations of Classical Theory”
Presenter: Howard B. Levine, MD, Friday, March 10, 2017 8:00-10:00pm
While many of Freud’s formulations were restricted by the epistemological assumptions of his times, his creative genius allowed him to anticipate post-modern views that are at the cutting edge of contemporary analytic thinking. This paper will attempt to examine the epistemological basis – what do we think we know and how do we think we come to know it? – for the shift in the aims of analysis from a predominant emphasis on uncovering mental contents to one that also includes the creation of mental contents and the strengthening of the instruments for thinking and the capacity for thought. A brief clinical example will illustrate some of the clinical implications of this shift. Continue reading The Fundamental Epistemological Situation with Howard B. Levine at CFS

PREGNANCY AND POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION: TREATMENT AND ITS COMPLICATIONS SATURDAY, MARCH 18, 2017
PRESENTER: ALEXANDRA CATTARUZZA, M.S., L.P.
Treatment during a patient’s pregnancy can prove quite challenging as the new mother has to meet the biological, psychological and environmental demands of an expected or newborn baby. In some mothers who have experienced a lack of good-enough care from their own mothers and have internalized a bad parental object, there is a powerful resistance that can result in the patient abandoning the treatment. Women who have a history of abandonment by one or both of the parents, may repeat this experience in the transference, prematurely terminating the treatment. Continue reading Pregnancy and Postpartum Depression at MITPP

SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM MEETING
Psychoanalytic Conversations on Diversity and Race: A Panel Discussion; Free For Members & NYPSI Students
Tuesday, March 14, 2017, 8:00 pm, Moderator: Beverly Stoute, MD, Panelists: Anton Hart, PhD, Milton Hollar, MD and Kathy Pogue White, PhD
This will be an interactive presentation devoted to how we discuss our experiences of and resistances to thinking and talking about difference. How do we experience difference in the analytic dyad? How do we frame it? How ready are we to look inward? What are our resistances as individuals and as a field? How do we deal with a lack of openness to curiosity? What are the resistances to curiosity regarding difference? What is the reluctance to allowing curiosity to develop in analysis? Although the conversation about diversity and race has evolved in some quarters toward issues of “cultural competence” and knowledge, it is our position that a productive psychoanalytic frame would involve a persistent exploration of how we experience curiosity – or its inhibition – in approaching matters of race, difference, and otherness.
