Advanced Lacanians are supposedly those who have a ‘clinic of the real’ or of ‘jouissance,’ but beyond the sophisticated terms we often find feeble and unhelpful conceptualizations. The label ‘jouissance’ is now used almost entirely descriptively, thus blocking further exploration of a variety of clinical issues and shutting down rather than opening up clinical and conceptual questions about the symptom, the body, repetition, and sexuality.

NYPSI Extension Course: Psychoanalytic Themes in Six Classic Hollywood Films 
This course will explore six films representing six different genres: Musical, Thriller, Western, Youth film, Science Fiction and Romance. In each case, the connections with psychoanalysis will vary with the film’s subject and style. “The Wizard of Oz” (1939), for example, is a veritable palimpsest of psychoanalytic ideas and an illustration of primitive fantasy a la Melanie Klein. “Spellbound” (1945) offers an interesting, though some would argue distorted, vision of psychoanalysis. “High Noon” (1952), while not overtly psychological in tone presents a model of ethical choice, of interest to therapists and psychoanalysts.

Overview  
A Central American mother and her teen suicidal daughter were evaluated forensically by two senior psychoanalysts, Gilbert Kliman, MD and Susan Siegeltuch, LCSW, FIPA. Both mother and daughter experienced multiple traumas in their country of origin as well as having their trauma reactivated by ICE and their time in detention. The interviews were conducted with psychoanalytically-informed thinking, awareness of transference and countertransference and empathic and humane listening.   Bearing witness to traumatized individuals and the atrocities they experienced has to be tolerated by the interviewers. This first-hand account of an asylum seeker and her daughter is a tribute to this mother’s resilience and the power of attachment. It is also a demonstration of how psychoanalysts can make a significant contribution to work outside one’s office.
