A CLINICAL WORKSHOP: PSYCHOANALYTIC INQUIRY AND THE IMMEDIACY OF THE HERE-AND-NOW EXPERIENTIAL ENCOUNTER
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 1, 2018 PRESENTER: STEFAN R. ZICHT, PSY.D.

This is a workshop on the fundamental principles of Interpersonal psychoanalysis and their clinical application. Originating with Harry Stack Sullivan’s pioneering notions regarding the therapist’s inevitable personal and subjective clinical participation and the utility and application of clinical inquiry, Interpersonal psychoanalysis was further informed and deepened by Erich Fromm’s existential and humanistic emphases on utilizing the immediacy of the here-and-now encounter in the clinical situation. The Interpersonal tradition has come to provide a central foundation for Continue reading A Clinical Workshop: Psychoanalytic Inquiry and the Immediacy of the Here-and-now Experiential Encounter with Stefan R.

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
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.
