How neuropsychoanalysis impacts clinical practice: An open group discussion

The Arnold Pfeffer Center for Neuropsychoanalysis:

“How neuropsychoanalysis impacts clinical practice: An open group discussion”

Saturday, April 6, 2019

10:00 am

As we celebrate 20 years of neuropsychoanalysis, we have begun to outline its impacts on clinical practice. Many clinicians report that neuroscience findings provide support for psychodynamic models and techniques. Neuropsychoanalytic ideas may inspire clinical hypotheses, either explicitly in the moment, or realized in retrospect. Some therapists have intentionally changed aspects of their practice, others have not. We may use neuroscientific ideas much as we use information from other disciplines, sometimes sharing information with patients for educational purposes, or to assist in exploring a dynamic in the treatment. Many other impacts could be described as well.

Join us for an open discussion about how (or if) neuropsychoanalysis has impacted your own work. Because neuropsychoanalysis is a rich area of exploration, with implications at many levels, non-clinicians are welcome to contribute to the discussion as well.

No CME or CE credits offered.

“The Problem of Self-Disclosure”

Wednesday, May 15, 2019

8:00 pm

Presenter: Arnold Richards, M.D.

This paper discusses the difference between self-disclosure and self-revelation particularly from the points of view of self psychology and contemporary Freudian conflict theory and other theoretical points of view. It was stimulated by an exchange between Jeffrey Stern, a self psychologist, about a paper on self-revelation: “I have a dog in the fight.” The pros and cons of self-disclosure are explored in relation to a case presented by Dr. Richards (where issues of self-disclosure were present) and the patient’s own comments on Dr. Richards’ write-up of his case are included.  In addition, there is discussion of the history of self-disclosure in psychoanalysis focusing on instances of Freud’s own interference in his patients’ lives. Finally, there is a discussion of changes in the relevance of the analyst’s self-disclosure now that patients can google their analysts and may find out many details of their analysts’ lives on the internet.

No CME or CE credits offered.
