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.

An Evening with Sylvia Brody, Ph.D.
 
Sylvia Brody, Ph.D., a most distinguished psychoanalyst and developmental researcher, came to prominence with her books documenting her observational, clinical, and theoretical studies on maternal behavior and child development. Among her contributions were Patterns of Mothering (1950), Anxiety and Ego Formation in Infancy (1970), Mothers, Fathers, and Children: Explorations in the Formation of Character in the First Seven Years (1978) and the follow-up study of the sample at eighteen years, Evolution of Character (1992). This body of work served to vividly demonstrate the significance of the child’s earliest experiences on emerging character structure and ego and superego functioning. In 2002, Dr. Brody published The Development of Anorexia Nervosa; a second edition came out in 2007.
