Important Notice About PANY Events

For academic year September 2021-May 2022:

The determination has been made to start the 2021-22 academic year as Virtual Learning. Prelude to Training, Graduate Society Events, and Fellowship will be held virtually through the end of the calendar year.

Our ultimate goal is to return to in-person learning after this period. Except for the pilot virtual opportunities in the advanced training programs, we don’t anticipate offering having hybrid learning (mix of in person and virtual participant/instruction). We will continue to provide input regarding our programs, and all scenarios can be dealt with individually, to determine feasibility.

"So, where are you from, Doc, really?": An analytic perspective on identity, race and ethnicity in the dyad

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.

About the Presentation
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.
 
From an object-relations point of view, our experiences of ourselves in relation to others are initially within our family of origin, and eventually are of ourselves (usually within the family unit) relating to the outside world. The speech and behavior of those around us regarding concrete aspects of identity, such as skin tone, class or perceived ethnicity (religion, race, culture, nation of origin), are internalized most often via non-verbal experiences, but also at times by explicit verbal instruction. These early experiences are transferred on top of current experiences. And analytically, we can understand that the template of our formative experiences were themselves transferred from what was experienced by people in previous generations.
 
From a self-psychological point of view, our subjective self-estimation is transferred from what was 'mirrored' to us by those around us, starting with parents and growing to include others in our community. This mirroring includes what we think is esteemed subjectively as good or bad by those others. Analytically, what is mirrored as valuable by those others is also transferred from what was mirrored as good or bad to them in previous generations.
 
A particular set of objective and subjective experiences of African-Americans is distinguishable from that of other people who have been targets of prejudice, such as voluntary immigrants. The fact of slavery, the relatively recent history of the ownership of a group of people as a form of capital in early industrial farming, has left an impression that can be better understood both from the object-relations point of view and also a self-psychological perspective.
Learning Objectives
1. Students should be able to describe a connection between a particular person's early experiences of identity and how that has become internalized into the way they relate to others.
 
2. Students should be able to describe a connection between a particular person's subjective sense of themselves and how that self-estimation is the result of what they sensed was subjectively valued by those in their developmental years.
 
3. Students should be able to discuss what, if anything, is analytically distinct about the African-American experience.

Playfulness in Adult Psychoanalysis

Starting with Freud who brought it up on several occasions, psychoanalysts have been intrigued by the concept of play and playfulness.  Many analysts from Phyllis Greenacre to Melanie Klein and Donald Winnicott contributed to our understanding of the difference between the therapeutic play and playing games, clarified the mechanism of the therapeutic action of play, and explored a connection between playing and creativity.

About the Presentation

Starting with Freud who brought it up on several occasions, psychoanalysts have been intrigued by the concept of play and playfulness.  Many analysts from Phyllis Greenacre to Melanie Klein and Donald Winnicott contributed to our understanding of the difference between the therapeutic play and playing games, clarified the mechanism of the therapeutic action of play, and explored a connection between playing and creativity.  Significant bulk of the psychoanalytic thinking about play has been made in the context of working with children. With the broadening of the scope of psychoanalysis, the importance of adjusting the technique to the needs of the patients unprepared to use classic interpretation generated interest in using play in adult analysis. This panel will address how the panelists, all of them child and adult analysts, have been able to enrich and enliven their psychoanalytic work with adults by utilizing their experience of working with children.  Dr. Anzieu–Premmereur will discuss how being a child analyst freed her to play with associations, use metaphors, and include humor in her work with adults.  Dr. Herzog will explore the lasting impact of being in analysis as a child on the capacity for playfulness in the adults.  Dr. Bolognini will speak about the development of playfulness as an important goal of psychoanalysis and one of the criteria for termination.  Ample time will be left for discussion with the audience.

Learning Objectives

To clarify how the experience of the psychoanalytic work with children enriches the psychoanalytic work with adults.

To demonstrate the lasting effect of being treated in psychoanalysis as a child on the capacity for creativity in the adults.

To illustrate the importance of the capacity for playfulness in adults for the psychoanalytic process.
