POETRY MONDAY: MAY 5, 2008
 
Long before there was a Poet Laureate of the United States, there was a Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress.  Maxine Kumin, one of our most beloved American poets, had that honor.  She has also been Poet Laureate of  New Hampshire,  a Chancellor of the Academy of American Poets, winner of a Pulitzer Prize as well as many other prestigious fellowships and awards.  One or more of her many books (sixteen poetry collections, a stirring memoir, four novels, a short-story collection, four books of essays and more than twenty children’s books) surely must be on some of your shelves already.

Many thanks to Jane Hall for bringing the recent Papal visit to the attention of the psychoanalytic community. (Click here to read Jane S. Hall’s editorial.) An international event of this importance has the potential to elicit deeply held emotions in individuals that rise to the surface and reverberate in our society at large. Having attended the Papal Mass at the Washington Nationals Stadium, I witnessed both the hushed attentiveness of over forty thousand faithful in the stands as well as several placard-carrying protestors shouting outside the front gates. Not unexpectedly, people expressed strong feelings around this event. As a psychoanalyst as well as a practicing Roman Catholic, the Papal visit and the reactions to it were of great interest to me.I would now like to share some psychoanalytic thoughts about a particular incident that occurred during this time. My intent is to show that the effects of clerical sexual abuse might be evident in one victim’s encounter with the Pope. (more…)

Rage of the Oppressed: Countertransference Predicaments in the Treatment of Two Muslim Patients, Post 9/11    

Presenter: Debra Gill, L.C.S.W.
Discussant: Doris Silverman, Ph.D.     

Selected vignettes from the treatment of two very different patients, both practicing Muslims, will illustrate countertransference dilemmas for the therapist when she is confronted with unconscious fantasy material developed in the context of social and psychological oppression. While both patients endured various forms of cruelty and domination throughout their lives, each managed to live with the resulting internalized burdens until about one year after September 11th. Unconscious terrors resulting in rageful acting out led both of these patients to psychotherapy.  The analysis of unmanageable affects and impulses allowed unconscious experiences of oppressed rage to enter the transference leaving the therapist in paralyzing countertransference states that closely mirrored the patients’ oppression.

DEBRA GILL, L.C.S.W. is a graduate of MITPP’s Adult Program, and is a graduate and member of the New York Freudian Society.  She is on the Faculty and is a Supervisor at MITPP, and is a member of MSPP.  She is a member of the MSPP Program Committee. She is a Visiting Faculty member of The American Institute for Psychoanalysis, and a Supervisor in the Psychology Intern Program at the Karen Horney Clinic and in the New York Freudian Society Psychotherapy Program.
