Discussion Group #86:  Jane Hall and Liz Fritsch announce the discussion group: Deepening the Treatment (#86)  at the APsaA meetings at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City on January 18 at 7:30PM. This year we feature presentations by Debra Gill and Ellen Sinkman on how their patients shifted from psychotherapy to psychoanalysis. This is the fourth year the group has been offered and we have been sold out in New York each  time. We also discuss how to deepen psychothereutic work in general.
Please join us.

We invite you to our discussion group #90 on Loneliness and Aloneness on Thursday January 17 from 7:30 to 10 pm at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City at the ApsaA meetings.

We will have a presentation of a four times per week analytic treatment of a young woman with a schizo-affective disorder who is using anti-psychotic medication. The problem most prominent in her life is fear of loneliness combined with fear of intimacy. Careening between these dangers, she had become unable to function. Understanding her feelings, wishes, moral scruples, and defenses is demonstrated to have an effect on her life choices and the satisfaction she can derive from them.
