COVID MONSTER by 6Year Old Boy

“What the Children Taught Us” A Panel Discussion Four Child Treatment Vignettes Via Zoom during COVID-19
Friday, December 3, 2021 12:00-2:00pm Online via Zoom 2 CEUs Available

At the start of the COVID lockdown in March of 2020, Kim Kleinman of CFS organized an online clinical group supervision/ support group for child analysts across the country. The group met twice per week. We initially focused on clinicians’ fears and anxiety around COVID, as well as the treatment challenges of working in a brand new way via Zoom. What made this time so unique was that both our patients and their clinicians were being affected simultaneously by the impact of this terrifying virus. Fear and anxiety gave way to an exploration of trauma in real time. For many of us, perhaps not surprisingly, the children we were treating (of all ages) led the way into this new “screen” technology. We were the novices, and they were our teachers in this virtual space. The clinical frame changed nearly overnight.

AGORAPHOBIA with Susan Finkelstein and Jamieson Webster Friday, October 29, 2021 12:30-2:30pm Online via Zoom

It was not for a long time that I learned to appreciate the importance of phantasies and unconscious thought about life in the womb.  They contain an explanation of the remarkable dread that many people have of being buried alive; and they also afford the deepest unconscious basis for the belief in survival after death, which merely represents a projection into the future of this uncanny life before birth. Moreover, the act of birth is the first experience of anxiety, and thus the source and prototype of the affect of anxiety.” -Freud (1900-1901, S.E. Vol.5, p. 400)

Following our last presentation on claustrophobia, we will now turn to its counterpart, agoraphobia, shifting the valence from the fear of being trapped inside with no way out, to the fear of going outside, and potentially losing not only one’s way, but also one’s mind. Agoraphobic fears point to the Continue reading AGORAPHOBIA with Susan Finkelstein and Jamieson Webster Online CFS

The word “war” carries a powerful charge in several sorts of war and in several ways of making war: position war, economic war, atomic war, cold war, spreading war, war against the pandemic…  Psychoanalysts and psychoanalysis are also traversed by this signifier. What are the individual consequences that wars have had for analysts in their practice? What reflections and writings associating psychoanalysis and war have issued from this?
essaim is a French psychoanalytic journal. This encounter is devoted to the presentation and the discussion of Issue 46. (For a summary of Issue 46 in English, click here). Continue reading Psychoanalysis and the Language of War: essaim46
