"We see then the disappearance of the conscious personality, the predominance of the conscious personality, and the predominance of the unconscious personality, turning by means of suggestion and contagion of feelings and ideas in an identical direction, the tendency to immediately transform the suggest ideas into acts; these, we see are the principle characteristics of the individual forming part of a group." - Group Psychology

comparison.
Learning Objectives:
1. Analyze the clinical significance of adaptation for psychoanalytic clinical theory and practice.
2. Compare the different concepts of adaptation in Langs and Jung and how each might supplement the other.
3. Develop clinical principles based on the comparison of Lange and Jung’s concepts of adaptation.

SIX-SESSION CHILD
PSYCHODYNAMIC PSYCHOTHERAPY
COURSE
SPRING 2023
This six-session child psychotherapy course will focus on illustrating aspects of child development and child therapy, clinical theory, therapeutic listening (to words, communications through nonverbal behaviors and play), and technique. We will present case material and clinical vignettes, supplemented by at least one reading for each session. One session of the series will focus on consultation with parents, teachers and other professionals, including issues of confidentiality and the choice of material one can present in professional settings.
Case material will help participants to understand how clinical interaction brings to life aspects of theory and development, and illustrates clinical impressions, choice of interventions and their impact. Presenters will pay special attention to the interplay between inevitable therapeutic misattunements or ruptures and subsequent repair in the therapeutic relationship. We will also be sensitive to the role of transference/countertransference and enactments in sessions with children and adolescents.
This course is designed for child and adult clinicians who have been in practice for at least two years. Questions can be directed to the office and will be responded to as soon as possible.

THIS IS WHAT YOU MISSED IN 2021:
Racism as “Enjoyment”: Libido as Substance of Race
********************************************
by Derek Hook,
Ph.D.
Friday, November 19, 2021
7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.
via Zoom
COST: $40 for 2 CMEs/CEs
$20 without CMEs/CEs
Why is libidinal “enjoyment” such an integral part of racism and racial identity? How do such modes of enjoyment – or jouissance – involve attributions of narcissistic libidinal treasures (our country, our culture, our way of life, etc.) that are always at risk of being stolen? How, moreover, do such forms of enjoyment entail the presumption that others are enjoying ‘beyond their station’, in ways are both illicit and that threaten me with castration? This talk will explore how the Lacanian reinvention of the Freudian notion of libido helps shed light on many facets of contemporary racism. It will link ideas of drive, superego, fantasy and excess-stimulation to racism as a type of ‘passionate investment’. In so doing, we will also consider how many of the most common everyday notions pertaining to racism (notions of intolerance, unconscious bias, projection, ignorance) are perhaps inadequate in grappling with the persistence of racism today.
Learning Objectives:
After attending this talk participants will be
able to:
1. Name and explain the crucial elements of Lacan's notion of jouissance (or libidinal enjoyment) and how this concept helps in understanding racism in the contemporary
world.
2. Explain how race can be understood, psychoanalytically, as libidinal, entailing fantasies of
narcissistic treasures threatened by other’s usurping and appropriation of these treasures.
About Our Presenter:
Derek Hook, Ph.D. is an associate professor of psychology and
clinical supervisor in the department of psychology at Duquesne University. He is the author of 'Six Moments in Lacan' and 'A Critical Psychology of the Postcolonial' and, along with Calum Neill, he
edits to Palgrave Lacan Series. His most recent publication is a volume, edited with Sheldon George, entitled 'Lacan and Race'. Along with Stijn Vanheule and Calum Neill he is the editor of the
four-volume series 'Reading Lacan's Ecrits'.

Mothering a Child with
a
Visible Facial Difference:
The Gaze of the Mother
and the Gaze of the
Other
**********
A presentation by:
Sandra G. Hershberg, MD
Via Zoom
7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.
COST: $30 with 2 CMEs/CEs
Harvey (2020) illuminates the experience of the uncanny gaze in the non-disabled person who
encounters a child with a physical difference. "The onlooker is left feeling uncertain as to what category this person falls into, eliciting feelings of both the familiar and unfamiliar, the
frightening and the attractive." As the mother of a child with Moebius Syndrome, a congenital form of facial paralysis, whose face looked visibly different from birth, Harvey's observation that "the
mother's sense of self, and her own feelings of unfamiliarity within herself, never quite settle because her subjectivity is constantly disrupted by others' responses to her child. . .
amplifying her own ambivalence," makes psychological sense of Dr. Hershberg's own unique maternal experience.
Dr. Hershberg will describe her maternal self-experience in greater depth with reference to maternal gazes including the loving empathic mother and "the uncanny" ambivalent (m)other, contextualized
by Winnicott's (1971) template of the mother’s face as a mirror for the baby's image of herself. In addition, Dr. Hershberg will include the impact of other salient gazes: the paternal gaze, the
grandmother’s gaze, the medical gaze and the analyst's gaze. Her daughter's writings and vignettes will provide a window into how a creatively astute, yet vulnerable, child expresses her
experiences of alienation, rebellion and reparation, involving her attract ion to superheroes, creation myths and Beauty and the Beast, as well as how her loving and assertive gaze
helped her mother.
Finally, Dr. Hershberg will examine the way these subjective maternal experiences have contributed to her analytic sensibility and view of difference in her clinical work.
Learning Objectives:
Following this presentation, participants will be able to:
1. Identify the emotional impact of the uncanny gaze expressed by a non-
disabled mother of a child with a visible
difference.
2. Describe the concept of 'the mother's face as a mirror' described
by Winnicott.
3. Describe the concept of 'abjection' identified by Kristeva.
4. Describe how fairytales like Beauty and the Beast embody the uncanny.

Saturday, March 7, 2020: 2:00 p.m. The Water Cure
By Sophie Mackintosh
“A gripping, sinister fable!” —Margaret Atwood, via Twitter
ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR:
NPR • GLAMOUR • GOOD
HOUSEKEEPING • LIT HUB • THRILLIST
King has tenderly staked out a territory for his wife and three daughters, Grace, Lia, and Sky. Here on his island, women are protected from the chaos and violence of men on the mainland. The
cult-like rituals and therapies they endure fortify them from the spreading toxicity of a degrading world.
But when King disappears and two men and a boy wash ashore, the sisters’ safe world begins to unravel. Over the span of one blistering hot week, a psychological cat-and-mouse game plays out. Sexual
tensions and sibling rivalries flare as the sisters are forced to confront the amorphous threat the strangers represent.
A haunting, riveting debut, The Water Cure is a fiercely poetic feminist revenge fantasy that’s a startling reflection of our time.
Saturday, April 4, 2020: 2:00 p.m. My Sister the Serial Killer By Oyinkan Braithwaite
My Sister, the Serial Killer is a blackly comic novel about how blood is thicker - and more difficult to get out of the carpet - than
water...
When Korede's dinner is interrupted one night by a distress call from her sister, Ayoola, she knows what's expected of her: bleach, rubber gloves, nerves of steel and a strong stomach. This'll be the
third boyfriend Ayoola's dispatched in, quote, self-defence and the third mess that her lethal little sibling has left Korede to clear away. She should probably go to the police for the good of the
menfolk of Nigeria, but she loves her sister and, as they say, family always comes first. Until, that is, Ayoola starts dating the doctor where Korede works as a nurse. Korede's long been in love
with him, and isn't prepared to see him wind up with a knife in his back: but to save one would mean sacrificing the other.
Saturday, May 2, 2020: 2:00 p.m. Idaho
By Emily Ruskovich
One hot August day a family drives to a mountain clearing to collect birch wood. Jenny, the mother, is in
charge of lopping any small limbs off the logs with a hatchet. Wade, the father, does the stacking. The two daughters, June and May, aged nine and six, drink lemonade, swat away horseflies, bicker,
and sing snatches of songs as they while away the time.
But then something unimaginably shocking happens, an act so extreme it will scatter the family in every different direction.
In a story told from multiple perspectives and in razor-sharp prose, we gradually learn more about this act, and the way its violence, love and memory reverberate through the life of every character
in Idaho.
Saturday, June 6, 2020: 2:00 p.m. Normal People By Sally Rooney
At school Connell and Marianne pretend not to know each other. He’s popular and well-adjusted, star of the school soccer team while she is lonely, proud, and intensely
private. But when Connell comes to pick his mother up from her housekeeping job at Marianne’s house, a strange and indelible connection grows between the two teenagers—one they are determined to
conceal.
A year later, they’re both studying at Trinity College in Dublin. Marianne has found her feet in a new social world while Connell hangs at the sidelines, shy and uncertain. Throughout their years in
college, Marianne and Connell circle one another, straying toward other people and possibilities but always magnetically, irresistibly drawn back together. Then, as she veers into self-destruction
and he begins to search for meaning elsewhere, each must confront how far they are willing to go to save the other.
Sally Rooney brings her brilliant psychological acuity and perfectly spare prose to a story that explores the subtleties of class, the electricity of first love, and the complex entanglements of
family and friendship.

In this seminar we will enumerate and describe several different varieties of anti-Semitism, past and present, addressing their links to White Supremacy, Islamist ideology and their relevance today. We will also explore the role which anti-Semitism played in the history of the early psychoanalytic movement, both as a cause or a catalyst of certain pivotal developments, and as a focus for theoretical conjectures and debate. Finally, we will discuss some ways it shows up clinically, and the role which the internet and social media play in disseminating and reinforcing anti-Jewish stereotypes and conspiracy theories nowadays.
Learning Objectives Friday, October 25:
1. Participants will be able to name and describe two historic roots of anti-Semitism in the West.
2. Participants will be able to explain two differences and two
similarities between religious and racial anti-Semitism.
Learning Objectives Saturday, October 26:
1. Participants will be able to define several differences and several similarities between right-wing and left-wing anti-Semitism.
2. Participants will be able to analyze the cultural and historical symbiosis between low-brow/high intensity anti-Semitism and high-brow/low intensity
anti-Semitism.
3. Participants will be able to name and explain some factors accounting for the current resurgence of anti-Semitism and hate crimes on the Right and Left.
4. Participants will be able to develop an answer to the following question: Is Zionism to Judaism as Islamism is to Islam?

The Nucleation of a Core Psyche and its Implications for Care

Is it realistic to pursue personality change as a treatment goal? I
propose that the foundation of our personality emerges from a pre-drive/object relations phase of development, a core psyche, which leaves an indelible mark on all future development. While
this mark falls somewhere between a positive-negative orientation depending upon the neonatal-caregiver fit and its impact can be somewhat mitigated by subsequent psychic development, our core psyche
remains essentially immutable. Identifying and addressing aspects of the core psyche pose unique challenges for the clinician and our patients. In this presentation, I will offer a conceptual
framework for the genesis of a core psyche, the unique clinical issues that emerge from it as well as some clinical material reflecting my approach to working with patients in this
area.
Learning Objectives:
1. Participants will be able to describe the origins and characteristics of the core psyche and its relationship to subsequent psychic development.
2. Participants will be able to describe potential strategies to assess and intervene with psychopathology associated with the core psyche.

Utilizing nine
vignettes from the 2012 Denzel Washington movie, Flight, the underlying dynamics of states of elation will be elucidated in this
presentation. Exhilaration, jubilance, exultation, euphoria, and ecstasy are states well captured in dreams of flight. Underlying elation is the oral triad: the wish to
devour, the wish to be devoured, and the wish to go to sleep. These concepts are pleasant to devour but difficult to digest. The presentation will also explore the relationship between
"good" sleep, "bad" sleep, and death. Primary sadism and masochism are situated in the nursing situation, active eating to sate hunger, then the ensuing yielding and sleep. Finally, the
relationship of elated states to pharmacothymia, the use of chemicals to achieve elation, i.e., the substance use disorders, will be discussed.
Learning Objectives:
1. Participants will be able to articulate the
similarities and differences between the three phases of the oral triad underlying elated states.
2. Participants will be able to distinguish between the defense mechanisms of denial, reaction formations, projections, and introjections, especially as these defense mechanisms relate to
hypomania, obsessions, phobia, paranoia, and depression.
About Our Presenter:
Mario Fischetti, Ph.D. is a psychoanalyst, licensed psychologist in private practice, and a Pittsburgh Psychoanalytic Center faculty member. Dr. Fischetti has a
specialty in the assessment and treatment of substance use disorders.

The Imaginative Bridge to Relational Contact: From the Random to the Meaningful Loren Sobel, M.D.
SUGGESTED AUDIENCE: PSYCHIATRISTS, PSYCHOLOGISTS, SOCIAL WORKERS, COUNSELORS AND OTHER MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS
Wednesday, May 1, 2019
7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.

Cost: $40 with CEs/CMEs

What unconscious processes may be active within the analytic field of patient and analyst when clinical moments enter the awareness of one or both participants initially feeling random or arbitrary? As these seemingly random and arbitrary moments emerge unbidden, what shape may these emerging experiences take as they effervesce at the fringe of our awareness? How might we capture these emerging experiences in their embryonic form and hold them long enough to grow them into meaningful moments of relational contact? In this presentation I aim to illustrate how clinical moments that initially feel arbitrary or random may capture unconscious bidirectional communications within the analytic field that hold the potential for significant meanings if we can linger in these seemingly random moments long enough to let our imaginations act.
Learning Objectives:
1. Participants will be able to provide a clinical example where moments that initially feel random or arbitrary may capture unconscious bidirectional
communications that hold potential for significant meanings.
2. Participants will be able to identify how the use of an imaginative object—a shared scene—can form a bridge between initial seemingly random moments and moments of meaningful relational contact and understanding.
3. Participants will be able to discuss how Interpersonal/Relational Field theory may inform technical ways to think about and work with these seemingly random or arbitrary moments.
About Our Presenter:

Psychoanalysis has long recognized the role of human aggression and destructiveness as factors in the genesis of anxiety and depression. But is the increased incidence of anxiety disorders and depression only the result of factors in individuals and their immediate environment? Or is there a growing sense of unprecedented threats to human civilizations as well, leading to greater degrees of helplessness, hopelessness and meaninglessness. Is there an unconscious collective self-destructiveness being registered in these states of greater emotional dis-ease?
Concerns regarding the end of the world formerly sprang from religious orientations. In psychoanalysis, end of the world fantasies were attributed to the experience of a sense of annihilation of the self, as in profound psychosis. But is anxiety about the fate of humanity more plausible and realistic today than in former times? Are we on the brink of extinction? Is civilization destined toward self-annihilation?
Let us
examine just a few cold sober facts: We are facing a planetary ecological crisis due to global warming, deforestation, widespread collapse of ecosystems. World over-population is nearing a
record tipping-point, where food and water scarcity will bring about more famine and drought. Human violence and aggression are on the rise worldwide. Unbridled capitalistic exploitation
of consumer masses leads to obscene disparities in wealth and poverty. And we see an increase in hegemonic national politics with anti-immigrant campaigns, corrupt government policies, nuclear
threats, terrorism, internet espionage, bioterror and other threats to public health. Regardless of the degree of threat we assign to each of these and other calculated risks, we cannot ignore
that an ominous dread is hovering over civilization and its fate. Is this humanity’s death drive? Are we and the next few generations living in the end times?
Learning Objectives:
1. Participants will list 5 vast planetary and existential risks to the fate of humanity, the
significance of which may be currently underestimated.
2. Participants will name and define the psychological processes inherent in social collectivities that potentially contribute to a global crisis.
3. Participants will evaluate the validity of a collective unconscious destructive principle for understanding increased psychological distress in both individuals and in society at large.

THE DIALECTICS OF INFLUENCE:
An exploration of the seminal papers
of
James T. McLaughlin
A seminar
discussion facilitated by William F. Cornell, editor of The Healer's Bent: Solitude and Dialogue in the Clinical Encounter
SUGGESTED AUDIENCE: PSYCHIATRISTS, PSYCHOLOGISTS, SOCIAL WORKERS, COUNSELORS AND OTHER MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS
Wednesday, March 13, 2019
7:00 p.m. - 9 :00p.m.

In the opening chapter of his book, James T. McLaughlin wrote:
In my earliest papers, my intent was to
shed light on what was going on in my patients. I was trained to see impediments as lodged in the patient’s psyche. Instead, as my own experience evolved, I grappled with how it often was also the
analyst who impeded progress.
In his now classic 1981 paper, “Transference, psychic reality, and countertransference,” written in his early 60’s, Jim declared, “If the past 50 years of analyst watching have clarified anything about the nature of the analyst’s experience, it is that transference is a matter of equal rights, both on and behind the couch.” The next 25 years witnessed a series of papers challenging psychoanalytic orthodoxies. Often controversial within his home community of the American Psychoanalytic Association, these papers became foundational in the emerging theories underlying relational psychoanalysis.
Learning Objectives:
1) Participants will be able to describe aspects of the history of the therapeutic application of
countertransference within the American psychoanalytic traditions.
2) Participants will be able to identify theoretical antecedents to the relational turn.
3) Participants will be able to describe the functions of self-analysis.

The Unintended Life: A Phenomenological Reading of the Early Freud by Jeffrey McCurry, Ph.D.
SUGGESTED AUDIENCE: PSYCHIATRISTS, PSYCHOLOGISTS, SOCIAL WORKERS, COUNSELORS AND OTHER MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS
Wednesday, February 27, 2019
7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.
Pittsburgh Psychoanalytic Center Library
401 Shady Ave. Suite B-101
Pittsburgh, PA 15206
Cost: $40 with CEs/CMEs
$20 General Admission
The early Freud is concerned as much with conscious experience as with the unconscious. Consciousness for Freud creates the unconscious because of consciousness's initial inability to engage the difficult, dangerous, and disturbing dimensions of its conscious experience of self and world. The therapeutic action of psychoanalysis is, therefore, and paradoxically, to return the self to its experience of its own experience. Thus healthy psychological experience, for the early Freud, is not always happy or pleasant. A healthy psychological life is, rather, one that welcomes to conscious experience the full vicissitudes of the flow of all its immediate and spontaneous thoughts, feelings, and wishes, whether these are pleasurable or painful. Such an image of psychologically healthy life disrupts our commonsense understanding of personhood, but it also enriches our conception of what it means to experience self and world more authentically in the aim of living a more fully human life.
Learning Objectives:
1)
Participants will be able to discuss what defines Freud's phenomenological approach to the unconscious in his early case studies on hysteria and how this approach differs from an explanatory
approach. Participants will describe how this phenomenological approach to the unconscious, in contrast to an explanatory approach, affects how Freud thinks we can understand neurotic
symptom-formation and the therapeutic action of psychoanalytic treatment that can offer a cure.
2) Participants will describe how Freud's phenomenological approach to psychoanalysis in his early case studies offers a vision of human experience and selfhood as internally diverse and incongruous,
a vision that is both complementary to and challenging of certain currents in contemporary psychoanalytic thought.
About Our Presenter:
Dr. Jeffrey McCurry is Director of the Simon Silverman Phenomenology Center at Duquesne University, where he
is also Affiliated Faculty in the Department of Philosophy. He is a recent academic-track graduate of the Pittsburgh Psychoanalytic Center. In addition to psychoanalysis, his interests include
phenomenological philosophy, psychology and religion, and the literature, art, and music of European modernism. Dr. McCurry is in the midst of writing a book entitled "Dangerous Experience: Modernism
from Freud to Philosophy."

Discussion of Supervision and a Clinical Presentation of a Supervision
SUGGESTED AUDIENCE: psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, counselors and other mental health professionals
Wednesday, December 5, 2018
and
Wednesday, December 12, 2018
7:00 -9:00 p.m.
Pittsburgh Psychoanalytic Center
Kenmawr Building
401 Shady Ave., Suite B-101
Pittsburgh, PA 15206
Cost for both sessions: $85 - 4 CEs/CMEs awarded
$50 - without CEs/CMEs
Instructors for both sessions: Bruce Fink, Ph.D. and Howard
Foster, M.D.
The second session will include a clinical presentation by
Gary Ciuffetelli, M.D. (W.P.I.C. Fourth Year Resident)
Recommended Reading: Weinstein, L., Winer, J.,
& Ornstein, E. (2009). Supervision and self-disclosure: modes of supervisory interaction. Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association 57: 1379-1400.
The goals of the first session are to compare and to contrast Dr. Fink’s (who has a Lacanian background), and Dr. Foster’s (who has a Freudian background) approaches to supervision. The format will be each of them presenting their approaches to supervision with ample time for discussion. Some of the issues discussed will be: supervisory alliance, modes of supervisory intervention (moral mode, therapeutic mode, empirical mode and modeling mode as discussed by Weinstein et al), supervisor encouraging supportive vs. uncovering interventions in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis (e.g. dream work and slips), countertransference issues and parallel process in supervision.
In the second session, the format will be Dr. Ciuffetelli presenting a case that he works on in supervision with Dr.
Foster. Process notes from the supervision will be presented in order to give data to explore the concepts discussed in the first session. The goal is to have a discussion of
various approaches to supervision, and the pros and cons of these approaches, remembering that the best supervisor is the patient.
Learning Objectives of Session
One:
1. Participants will be able to compare how two analysts, one with a Lacanian background and the other with a Freudian background, carry out supervision.
2. Participants will describe four modes of supervisory interaction: moral, therapeutic, empirical, and modeling.
Learning Objectives of Session Two:
1. Participants will discuss the four modes of supervisory interactions, as they apply to a clinical presentation of supervision.
2. Participants will discuss how supervisors
work with supervisees on the issue of supportive interventions versus uncovering interventions.
BRUCE FINK, Ph.D. is a practicing Lacanian psychoanalyst and analytic supervisor. He trained as a psychoanalyst in France
for seven years with and is now a member of the psychoanalytic institute Jacques Lacan created shortly before his death, the École de la Cause freudienne in Paris, and obtained his Ph.D. from the
Department of Psychoanalysis at the University of Paris VIII (Saint-Denis). He served as Duquesne University's Professor of Psychology from 1993 to 2013 and is currently an affiliated member of the
Pittsburgh Psychoanalytic Center.
HOWARD FOSTER, M.D. is a faculty member and training and supervising analyst at the Pittsburgh Psychoanalytic Center (PPC). He trained at
PPC during the 1980's and has been a Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine since 1988. He is a past
president of PPC.

Listening to the Unconscious: Derivative Communication and the Therapeutic Frame
John White, PhD, MA, LPC
Wednesday, April 18, 2018
7PM - 9PM Pittsburgh Psychoanalytic Center Library 401 Shady Ave. Pittsburgh, PA 15206
This presentation focuses on part of an analytic case, where issues associated with the "therapeutic frame" seem to cause psychic disturbances in the patient and certainly cause puzzlement on the part of the therapist. As the case progresses, the therapist begins listening more carefully to derivative communications in the patient's material in order to understand better the sources of his puzzlement, yet with only partial success. At a point about halfway into treatment, the patient recalls some important childhood and adolescent experiences, which underline why these specific frame issues were so important and what the derivative communications were indicating. The presentation draws a good deal from both Robert Langs and Carl Jung and attempts to show how reading derivative communications from each point of view can be seen as complementary to the other.
Learning Objectives:
1. Participants will be able to demonstrate a basic, theoretical understanding of unconscious mental processes.
2. Participants will be able to discuss the "frame" of psychotherapy and indications that the frame frequently motivates unconsious reactions.
3. Participants will be able to provide one method for understanding unconscious processes clinically, namely, "derivative communication."
4. Participants will be able to demonstrate the use of derivative communication clinically by examining its use and value in a specific clinical case.

About Dr. Hershberg:
Dr. Sandra Hershberg is a psychoanalyst and adult and child psychiatrist. She is the Director of Psychoanalytic Training, Founding Member and Training and Supervising Analyst at the Institute of Contemporary Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis in Washington, DC. She is a Training and Supervising Analyst at the Washington Baltimore Center for Psychoanalysis and a Geographical Supervising Analyst at the St Louis Institute of Psychoanalysis. She is on the Executive Board and a Council Member of the International Association of Psychoanalytic Self Psychology. Dr. Hershberg serves as an Associate Editor of the Psychoanalysis, Self and Context and is on the Editorial Board of Psychoanalytic Inquiry. She is the Co-Editor and a contributor to the book Psychoanalytic Theory, Research, and Clinical Practice: Reading Joseph D. Lichtenberg published by Routledge in 2016. Most recently, she has co-edited and contributed to the latest volume of Psychoanalysis, Self and Context (Vol 4, 2017) entitled, International Perspectives on Child and Adolescent Treatment: In Celebration of Anna Ornstein.
Dr. Hershberg has published and presented papers on a wide variety of subjects including biography and psychoanalysis, pregnancy and creativity, therapeutic action, and the mother/daughter relationship. Currently she is working on two projects: the female gaze on the female body in art and psychoanalysis, focusing on the work of German modernist painter Paula Modersohn-Becker, and second on the study of physical and psychological disability in a creative young woman.
Dr. Hershberg's presentation explores the psychoanalytic aspects of biography and the biographical aspects of psychoanalysis. The narratives that emerge from biography and psychoanalytic treatment incorporate elements of empathy, ideology (theory), and transference/countertransference and are co-constructed within an intersubjective field involving the subjectivities of both participants, the biographer and her subject, and the analyst and her analysand. Dr. Hershberg will provide examples that demonstrate the way in which the analyst's biography and analysand's autobiography change in the course of the psychoanalytic treatment. Salient difference between biographical and psychoanalytic endeavors are also discussed.
At the conclusion of this presentation, the participant will be able to:
