Claustro-agoraphobic anxieties are rooted in unconscious phantasies about the maternal body. Henri Rey named the claustro-agoraphobic syndrome in which its sufferers feel trapped when involved in a relationship, desperate to escape, then terrified once free of it, seeking retreat to the illusory security of the primal home – in phantasy, the mother’s body. The presenter will discuss some early and little-recognized contributions of Bertram D. Lewin that may be applied to Rey’s ideas within the context of a claustro-agoraphobic patient. She will further discuss three dreams to demonstrate how Lewin’s oral triad of wishes: ‘to eat, to be eaten and to sleep’ relates to these phobias and to Rey’s concept.
2 CME/CE credits offered. Continue reading NYPSI’s 1033rd Scientific Program Meeting:: Claustro-agoraphobia, Bertram Lewin, and the Oral Triad with Susan N. Finkelstein
WCSPP ANNUAL CONFERENCE: Understanding and Treating Eating Disorders and Disordered Eating
WCSPP ANNUAL CONFERENCE: Understanding and Treating Eating Disorders and Disordered Eating
Continental Breakfast and Check-In (8:30 – 9:00 am)
Morning Program (9:00 am – 12:00 pm): Judith Brisman, Ph.D., CEDS, will describe how the effective treatment of eating disorders often requires a mix of behavioral intervention within a psychoanalytic framework where the “disowned” part of the patient becomes known. A comprehensive definition of various eating disorders, risk factors, treatment issues, the role of the family and transferential/countertransferential considerations will be addressed.
Theresa Kinsella, MS, RD, will describe the essential differences between disordered eating and healthy diet lifestyles, including the clinical strategies useful in responding to our “diet culture.” The assessment and treatment of symptomatic eating behaviors, how to help clients develop a healthy relationship with food, and how to know when a referral to an eating disorder specialist is needed will be presented.

This is a clinical conference designed for therapists who work consciously or, as importantly, unconsciously with race in the therapeutic dyad. Issues of race occur most obviously when therapist and patient are of different races; more subtly, but no less significantly, when therapist and patient are of the same race. This conference is designed to crystallize these issues so that their implications might be consciously considered.

Presented by the Psychoanalytic Association of WCSPP
One of the most challenging aspects of working with patients who report childhood histories of abuse and/or neglect is bringing the patient’s attention to the parts of them that treat others with some form of the same cruelty of which they were the victim. This paper describes some clinical encounters with an adult patient with a history of intensely disorganized attachment to highly narcissistic parents. The author grapples with aspects of the patient’s suffering that evoke aversive, dysregulated feelings in him and describes the means he pursued to negotiate a more constructive and generative intersubjective experience with the patient.
