Bodies in Interaction: Finding Patients with Eating Disorders in Spaces Neither Here nor There

September 27,  2:00PM - 4:00PM

Bodies can be a place where co-construction of relational meanings between patient and analyst occurs. Sometimes patients with eating disorders may need to use our bodies as liminal space—a space between inside and outside, between self and other, between language and silence, between the uncanny and the ordinary and between body to body.


Presenter: Jean Petrucelli, PhD, CEDS-S

Apply Today! Introduction to Theory and Technique in Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy

6-Session Seminar Series

Each fall the Institute offers a six-week seminar on "Introduction to Theory and Technique in Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy," open to graduate psychology and social work students, psychiatry residents, and mental health professionals.

In the first half of the seminar we present basic tenets of theory and practice in psychoanalysis and psychotherapy, including a consideration of the differences between the two. Material will include a presentation of the psychoanalytic model of the mind, the model of development, and the model of technique. The second half of the seminar consists of the presentation of analytic case material. Didactic and case material will be presented by analysts from our faculty, Leslie Cummins D.S.W., L.C.S.W., and Malini Singh, Ph.D.

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.

Graduate Society
Can Psychoanalysts Listen to Eachother?

The 2 recent explosions within the Program Committee and then within the American Psychoanalytic Association are examined, from an insider’s perspective, as analysts’ difficulties with listening to each other. Analysts’ anxiety with erotic excitement, especially with racial erotics, even when used for self-affirmation, is discussed. So too is the need for Othering and the need for those who have been Othered to validate themselves, using anger for self-affirmation.
