Scientific Meeting: Intuition, Transference and Countertransference

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

  •  May 4, 2024
     10:00 am - 12:00 pm

***This meeting is virtual and will be held on ZOOM.***

NYPSI’s 1073rd Scientific Meeting:

“Intuition, Transference and Countertransference: A New Look at the Clinical Implications of the Constructivist Dilemma”

Saturday, May 4, 2024

10:00 AM – 12:00 PM (EST)

Presenter: David Tuckett, M.S.

Discussant: Marie Rudden, M.D.

This presentation is for clinicians seeking to work “psychoanalytically” in a therapeutic context. New evidence will be presented from a 20-year research program that compared analysts’ clinical approaches using a new theoretical framework. The framework reveals (a) gaps in the role analysts ascribe to interpretation as insight (b) differences in the data used to draw inferences about a patient’s unconscious and (c) highly consequential differences in how transference is supposed to become visible. Understanding these differences has significant implications for the work of clinicians.

Please note: Prior to the start of the lecture, Dr. Paula Christian-Kliger will receive an award for her commitment to a diverse community and deeply humanistic values.  This award is made in memory of the late Dr. Frances Cohen. 

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

General Admission: $40

Student Admission: $30

Free Admission for current NYPSI members/students and HFI Candidates

Please note registration closes at 12 PM on Friday, May 3, 2024.

Tuesday, April 9, 2024

8:00 – 10:00 PM (EST)

Presenter and Honoree: Gilbert W. Kliman, M.D

The topic of this lecture is Reflective Network Therapy and its effects on the IQ of preschoolers with ASD or PTSD. In this particular therapy, teachers, parents, and children in the classroom become a “reflective network” for the child in treatment. Dr. Gilbert Kliman, who is experienced in this area of applied child psychoanalysis, will address how this therapy works to help preschool children when it is applied specifically in school settings. This talk is directed to candidates and trainees in child and adolescent psychoanalysis as well as others involved in their training and supervision.

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

Gilbert W. Kliman, M.D. earned his degree from Harvard Medical School and is a Distinguished Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association and a Senior Fellow of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. After his child psychiatric training at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, he founded three nonprofit organizations dedicated to childhood mental health services: The Center for Preventive Psychiatry, the Foster Care Study Unit at Columbia University College of Medicine and Surgery, Department of Child Psychiatry, and the Children’s Psychological Health Center, Inc. He has served as Medical Director of The Children’s Psychological Health Center in San Francisco since 1993 and Chairman of the Harlem Family Institute from 2020-2022. Dr. Kliman is the creator of Reflective Network Therapy, an evidence-based synergistic child therapy method which he practices and continues to research throughout the country and around the world. In addition, his practice of forensic child psychiatry often leads to his testifying in federal and state courts. He has testified in over 375 major cases.

The Child Analysis Lecture honors a current distinguished child and adolescent psychoanalyst and offers our candidates and faculty an opportunity to learn from and discuss their ideas.

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

  1. Describe Reflective Network Therapy and explain how it can be helpful to young children by applying it in a school setting.
  2. Summarize the benefits of this method for pre-school students.

Meet the Author: Michal Shapira

“Sigmund Freud and his Patient Margarethe Csonka: A Case of Homosexuality in a Woman in Modern Vienna”

Tuesday, April 2, 2024

7:30 – 9:00 PM (EST)

Michal Shapira, Ph.D., a member of the History Department at Tel Aviv University, will be a Friends of the Library guest speaker on April 2nd, when she will discuss her new book, Sigmund Freud and his Patient Margarethe Csonka, a historical analysis of one of Sigmund Freud’s least-studied cases, published in 1920 as The Psychogenesis of a Case of Homosexuality in a Woman. Scholars of sexuality often focus on Freud’s writings on male homosexuality, disregarding his views on homosexual women. Michal Shapira’s book serves as a corrective to this imbalance. Part I introduces the case and explores Freud’s attitudes towards lesbianism, radical among his medical colleagues in the early twentieth century. It also puts Margarethe Csonka, the patient, at its center. Michal Shapira considers Freud’s only treatment of a “female homosexual” and assesses Csonka’s background life before and after her encounter with Freud. Part II expands the case beyond the scientific-medical purview of the times and looks at the new opportunities afforded to women and assimilated Jews through growing equality and the modernization of urban life in 1920s Vienna. The book places Csonka’s case within the broader context of contemporary medical and psychological texts, Freud’s writings, Jewish and queer history, and modern Vienna’s urban and artistic milieu.

No CME/CE credits offered.

Professor Michal Shapira joined the History Department at Tel Aviv University in 2013. She previously taught at Barnard College, Columbia University as an ACLS-Mellon New Faculty Fellow and at Amherst College as a Visiting Assistant Professor. She received her B.A. from Tel Aviv University and her Ph.D. in History and Gender Studies from Rutgers University.

Shapira has published articles in leading journals such as Twentieth Century British History, Medical History, History of Psychology, Gender & History, Zmanim: A Historical Quarterly, Journal of the History of Sexuality, Theory & Criticism, Modern Intellectual History, Psychoanalysis & History and more.

She is the author of the book The War Inside: Psychoanalysis, Total War and the Making of the Democratic Self in Postwar Britain (Cambridge University Press, 2013; paperback 2015) and her most recent book is titled A Case of Female Homosexuality in Modern Vienna: Sigmund Freud and his Patient Margarethe Csonka (Routledge, 2023).
