PANY Graduate Society presents: Love and Embodied Countertransference in Contemporary Psychoanalysis

October 26 | 2:00PM - 4:00PM

This presentation revolves around the role of love in psychoanalysis and how our love is conveyed in the analytic setting. This has been an erasure in our understanding of the way we work and is certainly reflected in the scant literature on the subject. Contemporary psychoanalysis is immersed, involved, yet asymmetric. The role our love plays is not sentimental or oversimplified, as in a corrective emotional experience, but in the way Loewald meant – to paraphrase a famous passage: It is through our sustained attention and moments of deep analyzing that we experience and reflect our love for our patients. I add another dimension to this - our willingness to take in, to receive the unconscious projections and emanations of our patients, our willingness to suffer these, reflect our deep commitment and love for our patients. The parallels to maternal eroticism are obvious as well.

Prelude to Training
Barriers to Closeness: Is Race an Obstacle? Or a Bridge? 

Dr. Shirke conceptualizes racism and prejudice as the consequence of intergenerational transference of experiences and attitudes about the identities of self and of others. Two analytic theories of mind can be applied to grasp this intellectually, prior to integrating emotionally this sensibility.

Prelude to Training
Dreams in Theory and Practice

Since Freud's opus of 1900 the dream and the process of dreaming remain the royal road to the heart of our work. To know how to work with dreams is tantamount to knowing how to do psychoanalysis. This lecture will review the core discoveries of mind, starting with Freud, which explains the why and wherefore of dreaming with the goal of underscoring how to work with them in the office to enrich and deepen the therapeutic exchange.
