Advanced Seminar in Child and Adolescent Analysis

Between the Pink and the Blue: Aspects of Gender Identity Development

Thursday, March 22, 2018  This event has been cancelled due to the storm and will be rescheduled for fall 2018. 

8:00 pm

Presenter: Anat Gedulter-Trieman

Mrs. Anat Gedulter-Trieman will present a 3 x weekly psychoanalytic treatment of a 16 year old adolescent girl who presented with intense phobia and heightened anxiety to a paralyzing degree. Using process material, she will look at the main theme of the analysis as it unfolded. She will explore the centrality of the transference and countertransference relationship as well as the importance of understanding the developmental history in the analytic work.

 2 CME/CE credits offered.

Mrs. Anat Gedulter-Trieman is a Fellow of the British Psychoanalytic Society and Anna Freud Centre-trained child analyst.  She obtained her MA from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where she worked for many years with delinquent adolescents. Anat was the Anna Freud Centre nursery consultant until its closure, and was teaching baby observation as well as running toddler groups at the Centre. She is currently teaching at the Institute of Psychoanalysis, the Anna Freud Centre and in various international venues. She lives and practices in London.

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

  1. Describe the transference manifestations in the analytic material of a phobic adolescent.
  2. Identify counter-transference manifestations.
  3. Recognize the importance of the developmental history in the analytic work with adolescents.

CLOSED MEETING: Beyond Countertransference: Treating the Untreatable Patient

We're sorry, but all tickets sales have ended because the event is expired.

  •  May 3, 2018
     8:00 pm - 10:00 pm

NOTE: This is a closed meeting for NYPSI members and candidates only.

Special Event:

“Beyond Countertransference: Treating the Untreatable Patient –  A Case Report”

Thursday, May 3, 2018

8:00 pm

Presenter: Theodore Jacobs, M.D.

In this presentation Dr. Jacobs will describe a six year analysis of a woman who re-enacted traumatic interactions with her parents by acting out extraordinarily provocative behavior.  This evoked countertransference reactions that took her analyst to the brink of insanity or murder.  This case raises questions as to the management of such intense transference-countertransference reactions.

Brill Library Book Series

Meet the Author: Louis Rose

Monday, February 12, 2018

7:30 pm

The Friends of the Brill Library invite you to an evening with Louis Rose, the author of Psychology, Art, and Antifascism: Ernst Kris, E. H. Gombrich, and the Politics of Caricature (Yale University Press, October 2016).

“In this book, Louis Rose traces the path of two great Viennese intellectuals, Ernst Kris and E.H. Gombrich—one a psychoanalyst who emigrated to New York and the other an art historian exiled in London—who together elaborated how caricature emerged as an art form since the seventeenth century, until, by the twentieth, it could be used as an arm of propaganda in the struggle against fascism. A masterful and erudite study.”

Élisabeth Roudinesco, Université Paris Diderot

Louis Rose is Professor of Modern European History at Otterbein University, Executive Director of the Sigmund Freud Archives, and Editor of the interdisciplinary psychoanalytic journal American Imago. His book The Freudian Calling: Early Viennese Psychoanalysis and the Pursuit of Cultural Science (Wayne State, 1998) received the 1999 Austrian Cultural Institute Prize for Best Book in Austrian Studies. He is the author of The Survival of Images: Art Historians, Psychoanalysts, and the Ancients (Wayne State, 2001) and most recently Psychology, Art, and Antifascism: Ernst Kris, E. H. Gombrich, and the Politics of Caricature (Yale, 2016). He received his B.A. from Clark University and his Ph.D. in History from Princeton University. He is an Honorary Member of the American Psychoanalytic Association and a member of the History of Psychoanalysis Committee of the International Psychoanalytical Association.

The Microbiome and Mind: Microbiota-host interactions in mood and mental health

The Microbiome and Mind:  Microbiota-host interactions in mood and mental health

Saturday, February 10, 2018

10:00 am

Presenter: Jane Foster, Ph.D.

Researchers in psychiatry and neuroscience are increasingly recognizing the importance of microbiota to brain communication in mental health. Scientists have established the link between gut bacteria and anxiety-like behaviours in animal models and with emotional brain regions in healthy people. Work to date by our group and others suggest that microbiota influence brain structure, gene expression of stress-related and plasticity-related genes, stress-reactivity, and behaviour. Recent work in our lab has focused on how the interaction between microbiota and host genetics influence brain structure and behaviour. Bacterial community profiling of 16SrRNA gene was carried out using a modified bar-coded Illumina sequencing method in the McMaster Genome Center in different strains of mice. Strain-specific differences in microbiota richness and diversity were observed. The taxonomic profile of the microbiota showed significant strain differences in relative abundance of clinically relevant commensals such as Bifidobacterium, Lactobaccilus, Alistipes, and Prevotella. Initial analysis shows that significant strain differences in specific bacteria are associated with anxiety-related behaviours. Our results show that microbiota and host genetics influence behaviour – deciphering the molecular mechanisms involved is necessary to advance the use of microbiota-targeted therapies for use in clinical populations.

Dr. Jane Foster is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioural Neurosciences at McMaster University in Hamilton, ON. She holds a research appointment as a Scientific Associate with the University Health Network and as a Scientist at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto, ON. Dr. Foster is an active researcher in two large translational networks –  the Province of Ontario Neurodevelopmental Disorders Network (POND) and the Canadian Biomarkers in Depression (CAN-BIND). Dr. Foster’s research focuses on the role of immune-brain and gut-brain interactions on neurodevelopment, behaviour, and brain function. She hopes that her research accomplishments lead to a better understanding of how these relationships contribute to psychiatric disorders such as neurodevelopmental disorders, anxiety and depression.

2 CME/CE credits offered.

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

1. Describe the nature of gut microbiota and their role in host physiology.
2. Refer to the clinical and pre-clinical research that supports a role for microbiota in brain function and behaviour.
3. Consider the potential role for microbiota-related biomarkers and/or microbiota-targeted therapeutics in understanding and treating mental illness.
