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.
The Graduate Society at PANY, founded in 1955, is comprised of PANY members who hold degrees in medicine, psychology, social work and other mental health professions. The Graduate Society has several functions. First, it represents our organization, PANY, as a component society of the American Psychoanalytic Association (APsaA). In addition, the Graduate Society sponsors monthly scientific meetings, providing a venue where scholars present recent findings in psychoanalysis as well as topics dealing with the relationship between psychoanalysis and other fields – such as child development, the neurosciences, and the arts. These meetings are open to the public, including psychoanalytic and psychotherapy candidates, and are designed to enhance the education of psychoanalytic clinicians. The Society also sponsors postgraduate seminars that are open to PANY faculty members. In addition to postgraduate education, the Society helps to promote practice development and the profession of psychoanalysis, including increasing public awareness of the wide usefulness of psychoanalytic ideas as well as the utility and efficacy of psychoanalytic therapies. The Society Student Aid Fund assists psychoanalytic candidates in financing their training. Finally, the Society sponsors social functions – fun get-togethers that are so important for strengthening the cohesiveness of our psychoanalytic association.

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.
