The 1061st Scientific Program Meeting:

“The Musical Semiotics of Voice in Distance: Some Reflections on the Debate Over Tele-analysis”

(Note: Registration closes 12/9 at 4 PM.)

Saturday, December 10, 2022

10:00 am – 12:00 pm (EST)

Presenter: Siamak Movahedi, Ph.D.

Discussant:  Andrea Marzi, M.D., Ph.D.

This presentation regards debates over the “authenticity” of analysis by phone, Skype, or Zoom because of the absence of the bodies in the room. While attitudes toward tele-analysis have recently changed in the wake of COVID, the co-experiencing of two physical bodies in close physical proximity would appear to be necessary for conducting the “real” analysis. Far from simply questioning the importance of the in-person analysis, Dr. Movahedi will instead identify the voice, the musical semiotics of emotions, as a critical, if not the most vital, aspect of psychoanalysis as a “talking cure” and psychoanalysis as an art of listening. Insofar as the speaking is instituted in the body, the body is present through voice even in the virtual analytic room in tele-analysis. He will argue that the need for the presence of the material bodies in the session is one aspect of the analytic rituals that, along with the room, the couch, and other power objects, set the stage for the continuous projection of the identities of the analytic couple. The seductive nature of the analytic situation and the status differential are more salient in the analyst’s office turf than in the patient’s room in tele-analysis.

2 Contact Hours. 2 CME/CE credits offered. See details below.

Educational Objectives: Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

  1. describe how within the intersubjective field of psychoanalytic situation, what is evoking our responses is primarily at the sound rather than semantic level.
  2. explain how visual or in-person mediation is not necessarily more “real” or more “genuine” than auditory or screen mediation, where concrete bodies are absent in tele-analysis.
  3. describe how the `medium of transmission from one unconscious to the other, as Freud (1912) stipulates, is the voice that also includes the voice of silence.

Presenters: Stephanie Brandt, M.D. and Kelly Champion, Ph.D.

Too commonly we see individuals who have suffered from trauma during childhood. As therapists who see children and adolescents as well as adults, we need to understand this phenomenon from many perspectives.  Three brief clinical case vignettes of children and adolescents who have suffered from trauma will be presented to lead us into an examination of the general topic of childhood trauma and how to understand it.  How do we recognize this in our work with patients? How do we understand trauma’s signs and impact given the developmental phases during which it occurs?  What methods do we use to treat the impact of trauma on the individual while also supporting the families?

2 Contact Hours. 2 CME/CE credits offered. See details below.

The 1060th Scientific Program Meeting:

“Sixty-three Year Follow-up of a Child Analysand”

(Note: Registration closes 11/8 at 4 PM.)

Tuesday, November 8, 2022

8:00 – 10:00 pm (EST)

Presenter: Gilbert Kliman, M.D.

Discussants:  Judy Kantrowitz, Ph.D. and Miriam Steele, Ph.D. 

A now 72-year-old former child analysand has kindly permitted us to view a 63-year video recorded follow-up with Dr. Kliman. He had been deeply traumatized, fragile, depressed, enuretic, encopretic, dissociated, fetishistic, dyslexic, socially isolated and thus overall profoundly disturbed emotionally and developmentally at age nine. Humor, warmth, perseverance and gratitude were nevertheless evident. His CGAS (Children’s Global Assessment Scale) of his early years can be estimated at 40. Several years of intensive child analysis including parent guidance appear to have turned his life course into a gradually improving and solid adult development. He seems to have never stopped strengthening his gains despite major object losses, financial distress and continuing interpersonal adversities with his childhood abuser. His current GAF  (Global Assessment of Functioning) can be estimated as over 80. How this outcome happened will be the focus of this presentation. A link to the video will be shared with registrants via email and will be available for viewing from November 2 – 9, 2022.

2 Contact Hours. 2 CME/CE credits offered. See details below.

He graduated from NYPSI in adult, child and adolescent psychoanalysis.

Judy L. Kantrowitz, Ph.D. is a Training and Supervising Analyst at the Boston Psychoanalytic Institute and a former Clinical Associate Professor (now called a Corresponding Member) at Harvard Medical School. She is the author of four books, The Patient’s Impact on the Analyst (1996) ; Writing About Patients: Responsibilities, Risks, and Ramifications (2006); Myths of Termination: What Patients Can Teach Analysts About Endings (2014) and The Role of Patient-Analyst Match in the Process and Outcome of Psychoanalysis (2020). She has served three times on the Editorial Board of JAPA and won the JAPA paper prize for 2020. She is currently on the board of The Psychoanalytic Quarterly. She is in private practice of psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy in Brookline, MA.

Miriam Steele, Ph.D.  is the Alfred J. and Monette C. Marrow Professor in Psychology and co-director of the Center for Attachment Research at the New School for Social Research. Dr. Steele bridges the world of psychoanalytic thinking and clinical practice with contemporary research in child development. She trained as a child analyst at the Anna Freud Centre London and received her Ph.D. from University College London. Her research began with the study of “Intergenerational Patterns of Attachment” which embodied one of the first prospective longitudinal studies incorporating the Adult Attachment Interview and Strange Situation protocols. This work was important in initiating the concept of reflective functioning and providing empirical data to demonstrate the importance of parental states of mind in the social and emotional development of their children with a longitudinal focus on their development into adulthood. Her current projects include studies exploring attachment and body representations across a range of individuals including mother-child dyads and individuals with physical disabilities, studies of children in foster care and adoption and child and adolescent global mental health.

Educational Objectives: Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

1) articulate evidence of positive transference and positive countertransference persisting for six decades.

2) state a view the patient recalls of the role the child analyst played in his life.

3) state evidence of identification with the child analyst.
