The “Not I” Patient with Susan Finkelstein of IPTAR
By Categories: Announcements

THE “NOT I” PATIENT: Instructor: Susan Finkelstein, LCSW, Wednesdays, October 18, 25 November 1,8,15, 830-10pm, 771 West End Avenue

The “Not I” patient is the clinical representation of the traumatized ‘ mouth’ depicted by Samuel Beckett in his play of the same name, whose experience of pain is disembodied and disowned. These sado-masochistic parts of the self become part of the transference /counter-transference dynamic but neither patient nor analyst are aware of them or want to experience them, resulting in mutual enactments.
The class will use clinical vignettes from both the instructor and participants to illustrate and understand the unconscious anxieties and primitive defense of projective identification of these unmetabolized experiences that prevent deeper understanding and working through.

NYPSI Works in Progress Seminar:
Two Psychology Trainees Discuss Their Dissertations

This works in progress seminar will be devoted to presentations by two NYPSI trainees who will discuss their dissertations and research.

Jessica Wolman, PhD will present “Aliveness and Deadness in the Therapeutic Process.” Based on the theories of Winnicott, Ogden and Green among others, Dr. Wolman will present 5 clinical cases and show the application of the ideas of these thinkers to her clinical material.

Kate Mannix, MA will present “Narcissism and the Response to Interpersonal Dependency.” Based in part on some ideas of Melanie Klein, Ms. Mannix hypothesizes that narcissism is often a defense against feelings of dependency. In her work she will show by using a variety of measures that when narcissistic individuals are asked to recall thoughts or emotions resulting from dependency on another person, they will show an increased use of defense mechanisms.

Meeting the Challenge of Treating Atypically-Wired Children using Psychoanalysis with Susan Sherkow, M.D.. at NYPSI
By Categories: Announcements

Meeting the Challenge of Treating Atypically-Wired Children using Psychoanalysis, Presenter: Susan Sherkow, M.D.. Discussants: Alexander Kalogerakis, M.D. and Robert Scharf, M.D., Tuesday, September 12, 2017 at 8 pm, New York Psychoanalytic Society & Institute, 247 East 82nd Street, NYC (btwn 2nd and 3rd Aves)

This presentation aims to demonstrate the confluence of psychoanalysis and neuroscience in the context of the internalization process in neurodevelopment. Dr. Sherkow will present clinical material from the analytic treatment of an “atypically wired” five-and-a-half year old boy focusing on the child’s mental representational world and shedding light on: 1) distortions in the child’s mental representation of mother and being mothered, caused in part by atypical neurocircuitry 2) the impact of these distortions on the mother, the child, and the mother-child relationship 3) how these distortions come through in the transference and 4) how psychoanalysis can help “rewire” the brain to allow for a secure internalization of the mother.

Analytic Listening and Concepts with Hadassah Ramin at CFS
By Categories: Announcements

The Psychoanalytic Training Institute of The Contemporary Freudian Society
Foundations of Psychoanalytic Practice
We are pleased to offer a six-week course on Analytic Listening and Concepts beginning Fall 2017. This course qualifies for 9 Continuing Education credits.

This course is suitable for students from a wide variety of backgrounds, including practicing clinicians from all disciplines, recent graduates of Masters-level or Doctoral-level programs, professionals considering changing careers, and anyone interested in exploring the possibility of post-graduate psychoanalytic training.

Analytic Listening and Concepts, Instructor: Hadassah Ramin, LCSW, Dates: October 16, 23, 30, November 6, 13, 20, Time: 6:30-8:00 pm, Location: Upper West Side

The initial consultation is the stage on which patients present the cast of their internal objects. How we listen and what we listen for will be explored with a focus on the initial consultation. Paying close attention to the narrative presented will facilitate identifying the transference, its effect on us – the countertransference – and the way we use this kind of listening as a tool to deepen our understanding of the patient’s relationship to his/her internal objects. This understanding will inform us about how to formulate our interventions in a way that will be useful to the patient. Continue reading Analytic Listening and Concepts with Hadassah Ramin at CFS
