The Friends of the Brill Library invite you to an evening with Donald Moss, MD, the author of At War with the Obvious: Disruptive Thinking in Psycho-analysis (Routledge, 2017).

The author situates each chapter of At War with the Obvious at the border between common and psychoanalytic sense. Cumulatively, the book argues that in order for psychoanalysis to retain its original vitality, it must continuously work against becoming “common sensical”.Common sense – clinical and cultural – almost invariably obscures the uncommon/unconscious determinants that would expose its insufficiencies. The most pointed expression of this border tension may be in the chapter, “The Insane Look of the Bewildered Half-Broken Animal.”

Copies of the book will be made available for purchase for $35 at the event.

Donald Moss, MD is a faculty member of the New York Psychoanalytic Institute and the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis, and is in private practice in New York City. He is also a member of the Green Gang, a four-person collective that studies the relationships between the human and non-human environments. He is currently the Continue reading Meet the Author: Donald Moss at NYPSI

One of the most critically acclaimed films of 1998 and winner of several awards including the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay, Gods and Monsters is a compassionate speculation about the final days of James Whale (1889-1957), the director of Frankenstein and 20 other films of the 1930s and ’40s, who was openly gay at a time when homosexuality in Hollywood was discreetly concealed. Adapted and Continue reading THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED. Screening and Discussion of Gods and Monsters with William Fried, PhD

SHE CAN’T SAY “NO”

The powerful challenges of treating a middle-aged, self-effacing, masochistic woman who tended to be a doormat in relationships will be described with a focus on the many trials such a treatment presented. The therapy lasted for two and a half years with a disappointing outcome and illustrates the dyad’s enactments and some of the difficulties of working with a highly defended, “neurotic” patient.

329 East 62nd Street — New York, NY 10065 — (212) 838-8044 — aipnyc.org — info@aipnyc.org
Psychoanalytic Reflections: Searching for a Passionate Neutrality Sandra Buechler, PhD
Date: Thursday, March 22, 2018 Time: 8:00 pm – 10:00 pm

General Admission: $15 NO Charge for AIP Members, Candidates and Students & NO Charge KHC Staff & Students Contact Hours: 2

Overview:
Everything I have written can be understood as an effort to find a sufficiently passionate form of treatment. In one of the papers in my collection, Psychoanalytic Reflections: Training and Practice (2017, IP Books) I explore how profound feelings about life and health can be integrated into an analytic approach that also honors the concept of neutrality. In this talk I consider how the clinician can inspire active hope, engage in treatment emotionally, facilitate fighting depression, and other challenges.

Learning Objectives:
Participants will be able to describe ways the clinician can integrate neutrality with a sufficiently emotionally engaged treatment approach. Continue reading Psychoanalytic Reflections: Searching for a Passionate Neutrality with Sandra Buechler at AIP
