Important Notice About PANY Events

During these difficult times, faculty and students at PANY worked hard to maintain training, education, and community. PANY continued its educational and admissions activities during the Coronavirus pandemic - including classes and case supervision for our students as well as video interviews for applicants to our training programs - via Zoom and other video and audio platforms.

 

For the upcoming academic year 2023-2024, PANY will offer some hybrid learning opportunities. These will be determined per program, and will evolve during the admissions season, as we determine our class, community, and faculty needs. The final learning format will be communicated to those enrolled as admissions is finalzed. 

As psychoanalysts, we believe in the importance of our work, in some ways especially so during these stressful times; and as hardy New Yorkers, we are committed to maintaining our presence as educators, psychoanalysts, and psychotherapists for the New York City community.

The implications of the Neuropsychoanalytic Studies of Affect for Clinical Work

This talk aims at reviewing some of the core implications of our neurobiological knowledge of affect for clinical work. Clinical vignettes will be used to illustrate some of the clinical applications of Affective Neuroscience. 

Presenter: Dr. Daniela Flores Mosri

CME/ Social Work & Psychology CE Credits Available

About the Speaker(s)

Dr. Daniela Flores Mosri is a psychologist who started her research career investigating sleep disorders at the Reticular Formation Lab (run by neurophysiologist Dr Raúl Alvarado Calvillo) at the National Institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery. Their epidemiological research was awarded second place by the National Council of Psychology (CNEIP) in 2000. Dr Flores Mosri trained as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist and her interest in the dialogue between psychoanalysis and neuroscience began in 1999. She has studied borderline pathology from a mainly affective perspective, and is currently conducting research on latent depression. Dr Flores Mosri is a lecturer and researcher at Universidad Intercontinental. She has been a member of the National Researchers System (SNI) at the National Council of Science and Technology (CONACyT). Her clinical practice focuses on borderline states, addiction, depression, psychosomatic illness, and sleep and eating disorders, amongst others. Since 2014 Daniela has been a liaison officer in Latin America for the International Neuropsychoanalysis Society. She is also Managing Editor of the journal Neuropsychoanalysis.

About the Presentation

One of the fundamental concepts in psychoanalysis is the affect. Early works of Breuer and Freud showed the essential role of the affect in the repression and formation of the contents of the unconscious. Neurophysiological mechanisms of the affects could not be understood at that time because the broader field of neurobiology had not yet been developed. When one attempts to understand how the subjective experience works, the neurobiological correlates of the affect cannot be ignored. Recent progress in neurobiology has led to the introduction of the Affective Neuroscience and facilitated the reconsiderations of our ideas about the laws that govern the mind. The neuropsychoanalytic study of the affect has facilitated the revisions of our clinical understanding of the symptom formation and enabled the refinement of the psychoanalytic technique. This talk aims at reviewing some of the core implications of our neurobiological knowledge of affect for clinical work. Clinical vignettes will be used to illustrate some of the clinical applications of Affective Neuroscience. 

Learning Objectives

1.) Review the core concepts of the Affective Neuroscience.

 

2.) Learn how the understanding of the symptom formation is facilitated by the neuropsychoanalytic study of the affect.

 

3.) Understand the clinical implications of this information for the psychoanalytic technique.

About the Discussant

 John Steiner is a training analyst of the British Psychoanalytical Society, who was formerly a psychiatrist at the Maudsley Hospital and a psychotherapist at the Tavistock Clinic. He has now retired from clinical practice but continues to supervise and write. He is the author of Psychic Retreats, (1993), Seeing and Being Seen, (2011), and Illusion, Disillusion and Irony in Psychoanalysis, (2020). He has also edited and written introductions to: The Oedipus Complex Today, (1989), Psychoanalysis, Literature and War, by Hanna Segal, (1997), Rosenfeld in Retrospect, (2008), and Melanie Klein’s 1936 Lectures on Technique, (2017).  

About the Presentation

The goal of this meeting is to shed light on the difficulties that candidates have in bringing their cases to the mid-phase analysis. Identifying the primitive pre-oedipal themes, which are frequently expressed through actions is helpful for bringing the "infant into the room ". At the meeting two PANY candidates will present the clinical material illustrating how unanalyzed pre-oedipal issues hamper the deepening of the analytic process. The discussant, Dr. John Steiner, a post- Kleinian who developed the concepts of the "pathological organization " or the "psychic retreat" will discuss the clinical material. At the end of the meeting ample time will be left for the discussion with the audience. 

Learning Objectives

As a result of participating in this presentation, the attendees will become able to:

• Describe the pre-oedipal problems and its importance in the development of the individual’s psyche in general, and its relevance to later psychological issues

• Address pre-oedipal problems in order to navigate through different impasses in the treatment with the hopes of advancing the patient into mid-phase of analysis.

• Apply this knowledge clinically to the treatment of both patients with more primitive mental structure, as well as individuals who exhibit more mature mental states.

On Day-Dreaming

The particular characteristics of day-dreaming will be explored, highlighting the way in which day-dreaming induces imaginative states of perception – states that allow new ways of being and experiencing the world. 

Presenters: Peter Goldberg, PhD, FIPA

CME/ Social Work & Psychology CE Credits Available

About the Speaker(s)

Peter Goldberg, PhD, FIPA is a personal and supervising psychoanalyst at the Psychoanalytic Institute of Northern California, is Chair of Faculty at the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis, and on the faculty of the Wright Institute in Berkeley, California. Prior publications related to psyche-soma phenomena include "Successful dissociation, pseudo-vitality and inauthentic use of the senses" (1995), "Fabricated bodies: A model for the somatic false self" (2004), and "Active perception and the search for sensory symbiosis" (2012). His latest publication is a book, co- authored with Adam Blum abd Michael Levin, just publishedby ColumbiaUniversityPress, entitled "Here I am Alive: The Spirit of Music in Psychoanalysis ".

About the Presentation

While dream-work functions have taken on ever-more significance in contemporary clinical models, the phenomenon of day-dreaming has seldom received attention in psychoanalysis. The particular characteristics of day-dreaming will be explored, highlighting the way in which day-dreaming induces imaginative states of perception – states that allow new ways of being and experiencing the world. The clinical process can thus be described in terms of something like day-dream-work, which depends on the workings of the analytic frame and on the analyst’s particular ways of participating with the patient in shared perceptual states.

PRELUDE TO TRAINING

Seminar | Saturday December 16, 11:45AM - 1:15PM

Location: TBD

Psychic Bisexuality

This talk will attempt to throw some light on the contemporary use of the concept of bisexuality in one analyst’s clinical work.

CME/CE Credits Available: 1.5

About the Speaker(s)

Rajiv Gulati, MD is a Training and Supervising Psychoanalyst at the Psychoanalytic Association of New York. A native of New Delhi, he has a strong interest in the ways in which culture inflects the experience of selfhood, cropping up as well in the normative discourses that seek to police gender identity and sexual orientation. He co-edited the book, “EROTICISM: Developmental, Cultural, and Clinical Realm,” with Dr. Salman Akhtar. Dr. Gulati maintains a private analytic practice in Brooklyn. 

About the Presentation

Freud came up with the idea of “psychic bisexuality” in the context of his intensely erotic relationship with Wilhelm Fliess. Despite its central place in Freud’s theory and its usefulness, bisexuality occupies a controversial place in psychoanalysis. It has been a beacon for sexual and gender minorities and yet within psychoanalysis it has been put to heteronormative and transphobic use. This talk will attempt to throw some light on the contemporary use of the concept of bisexuality in one analyst’s clinical work.

Learning Objectives
1. Participants will understand Freud’s biological view of bisexuality as contrasted with his intrapsychic perspective.
2. Participants will understand Corbett’s use of “the anxiety of regulation” in response to erotic desires and gender expressions that fall outside of the hetero-cisgender binary.
3. Participants will understand the implicit heteronormativity/cisgenderism in many binary psychoanalytic constructions of gender – i.e., “orthodox” Freudian, Kleinian, Lacanian
