Can Psychoanalysis Be A Treatment of Choice?

Thursday, March 5th

In person location: Boardroom, NYPSI

247 E 82nd St., New York, New York 10028

Presenter: Beverly J. Stoute, M.D.

Description: Case material will be presented from the analysis of a child who entered treatment at the age of five for obsessional rituals, mood lability, explosive outbursts, murderous rage and suicidal threats. The case presentation will begin with the history and overview addressing issues of differential diagnosis when a child presents with mood lability, anxiety symptoms and obsessional symptomatology? A discussion of process notes will illustrate the psychoanalytic meanings of obsessional symptomatology, highlight the technical aspects of memory reconstruction in early trauma and demonstrate the essential contribution of work with parents in facilitating the child’s progress. Questions concerning diagnostic indications for the use of medications will also be raised. The presentation concludes with a description of contact with the patient ten years later as she prepared to leave for college with her memory of how the treatment changed her life.

No CME/CE credits will be offered.
