Eyes Wide Shut is an erotic drama film directed by Stanley Kubrick – released in 1999, it is the final feature he completed before dying that same year at the age of 70. Based on Arthur Schnitzler’s 1926 novella Traumnovelle (Dream Story), it depicts the ambivalent role of extra-marital fantasies revealed by a woman to her husband in a seemingly happy relationship. One would be forgiven to suspect that, over the course of his career, Kubrick was working his way to an investigation of female desire by first tackling less daunting subjects in earlier works (e.g., war, outer space, ultraviolence and horror)!

Starring the then-still-married actors Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise, Eyes Continue reading Eyes Wide Shut: A Psychoanalytic Investigation with Mary Wild at NYPSI

Working with Profound Childhood Sexual Trauma with Gene Yellin at MITPP

A CLINICAL WORKSHOP: WORKING WITH PROFOUND CHILDHOOD SEXUAL TRAUMA  SATURDAY, MAY 11, 2019 PRESENTER: GENE YELLIN, LCSW

This workshop will focus on psychotherapy with a young female suffering from post-traumatic stress subsequent to a rape by a priest when she was 7 years old.  The details of the therapy will demonstrate the experiential difficulties encountered over a five-year treatment and what was required from the therapist to help this woman begin to come to terms with her trauma.  The profound complications of how non-empathic caregivers influenced her character development will be examined.  Countertransference with such patients will be explored. Participants will be encouraged to offer their own clinical vignettes in their work with sexually traumatized patients.
