Loneliness Discussion Group at APsaA Conference: New York Midtown Hilton
Those who plan to attend the APsaA conference, at New York Midtown Hilton, in Feb. of 2018, we invite you to our clinical case discussion group: Towards an Understanding of Loneliness and Aloneness.
Dr. Danielle Knafo will present her clinical and theoretical material that describes her treatment of a singular young Japanese man, Hisoka, who epitomized the phenomenon of Hikikikomori. The hikikikomori are young people who live extremely solitary lives, never leaving their homes and hardly coming out of their rooms. At the onset of therapy, Hisoka only emerged for his therapy sessions and even then he hardly participated in a usual manner. The therapeutic work involved the creation of a safe holding space within which Hisoka learned to face the derailments of his early attachments and to engage in a mutual relationship. He gradually took steps to interact with the analyst and the outside world. The experience transformed both him and the analyst.
Presenter: Dr. Danielle Knafo,CORST essay prize recipient, 2014. She is a professor in the clinical psychology doctoral program at LIU and faculty and supervisor at NYU Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis. She is the author of numerous books and articles on psychoanalytic topics including loneliness, solitude, and trauma. Also, Dr. Knafo has presented at numerous conferences.

Intrigue, Insight, Inquiry: Through Today’s Psychoanalytic Lens
In these multilayered and challenging professional times, how can we sustain excellence in clinical theory and practice? Our challenge is in safeguarding core values — individual dignity, respect for diversity, social justice advocacy — as we embrace innovations in psychoanalytic knowledge. Holding this complexity in mind, the conference aims to provide a space to explore the human condition in health and illness. We will view these ideas in relation to clinical experience, based on understanding the intersection of the inner and outer world. We will also continue to build our legacy for the next generation. Join us in our efforts at facing our challenges, and promoting depth and breadth in our insights about contemporary clinical practice.

Praise for Howard Schwartz’s New Children’s Book, All Aboard:
“I found this book to be a delightful depiction of what life can be like for children, parents and grandparents who appreciate and enjoy each other. It’s written as a chapter book but I felt it was more a series of snapshots of the various challenges and rewards occurring in the lives of families circling around the curiosity and wishes of young children to explore and understand the world around them. Indeed, each snapshot stands on its own and yet is enhanced by the others.
It was particularly pleasurable for me to read this book in an era where each new book seems to be moving in a darker direction, intent on highlighting what’s wrong with the world. It’s great to be reminded that there is a wonderful side to life.” Continue reading Praise for All Aboard, New Children’s Book By Howard Schwartz
