3rd Annual Marianne Goldberger Memorial Lecture: "The Image of the Female Body Three Challenges to Conventional Interpretations of Celebrated Ancient Civilizations"

February 1 | 2:00PM - 4:00PM
Scholars like Sir James Fraser, Erich Neumann, Joseph Cambell, Will Durant and most Biblical Scolars of the19th and early 20th century wrote persuasive stories about the meanings of the figurines found by archeologists’ studying Prehistory, Ancient Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt. The scholars argued that they figurines represented Mother Goddesses, Fertility Figurines, and perfect images of elite or royal Egyptian women. Modern feminist archeologists have questioned these visual tropes and have discovered that entirely different realities lay behind the stereotyped images. Like the fixed and usually idealized mental images of their parents that our patients carry from childhoods these sterotyped images are difficult to dislodge. With new archeological findings and depictions of the figurines I shall paint a very different picture of the ancient icons illustrating how an analytic perspective of the past can reveal fresh and liberating insights into both the present and the past.

Presenters: Laurie Wilson, PhD

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.

Presenter: Aneil Shirke, MD, PhD

Gruadte Society Scientific Meeting
Obsessions and Compulsions: How to Understand and Treat a Disorder of Initiative

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.

Presenter: Jason Wheeler, PhD

​The Importance of Film for Psychoanalysis

Psychoanalysis changes lives.

 

At a time when training in most mental health fields is focused on time limited biological and behavioral interventions, we believe in the importance of training clinicians to do in-depth work with patients, providing effective and durable results.   

 

We believe in making affordable treatment available to the New York City community through our consultation and treatment service.

 

We are dedicated to providing the highest quality in psychoanalytic treatment and education.
