Distinguished guest lecturer Dr. Elizabeth Kandall will share with us: The Work of Sheldon Bach

Dr. Kandall has studied with Sheldon Bach since 2011. She will introduce us to his work, particularly his holistic concept of the Chimeras – (paper attached, please review it before her lecture).

SHELDON BACH, Ph.D., has devoted his career to understanding what patients are trying to accomplish through their symptoms and providing an environment that allow patients to get involved in a process they can trust and own. He is part of Freudian tradition in that he appreciates the formative influence of early life and the unconscious, but he is unconstrained by the conventional concepts of interpretation and resistance. He has a confidence in what can happen when conditions and approaches are right enough to make therapeutic work possible. His work is deeply influenced by Winnicott and Kohut. Over his more than 60 years of practice, Shelly has developed a deep trust of what can happen when a treatment finds a way to reach a patient through being available to their communication and looking for what, if anything feels real.

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.
