The 1054th Scientific Program Meeting:

“Panel Honoring the Published Work of Drs. Sander Abend, Michael Porder and Martin Willick”

Tuesday, March 8, 2022

8:00 pm – 10:00 pm (EST)

Panelists: Lisa Deutscher, M.D., Edith McNutt, M.D., and Edward Nersessian, M.D.

This meeting will focus on clinical psychoanalytic practice and its theoretical foundation (or justification) as seen by three prominent psychoanalytic thinkers: Drs. Sander Abend, Michael Porder, and Martin Willick. Tackling subjects such as borderline conditions, therapeutic action, transference, and countertransference, among other clinical concepts, these theoretically-oriented practitioners established a standard which dominated much psychoanalytic thinking in this country for several decades after the 1970s. Such concepts, their application to clinical practice and their relevance to current thinking on borderline personality disorder, schizophrenia, and other pathologies will be discussed and honor paid to these preeminent psychoanalysts for their rich and scholarly contributions.

2 Contact Hours. 2 CME/ CE credits offered.

Dr. Lisa Deutscher has been on the faculty of NYPSI for many years, teaching several courses and supervising trainees.  She has also served on the Board of Directors, on various committees, and as Vice President. Currently, she teaches the courses “Women’s Bodies, Pregnancy, and Other Self-Revelations in Psychoanalysis” and “Utilizing Multiple Models.” Dr. Deutscher is also on the faculty of Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and in private practice.  Her particular interest at this time is in how decisions are made about self-disclosure and what is unwittingly or unavoidably revealed by the analyst.
Dr. Edith McNutt is a Training and Supervising Analyst at NYPSI. For many years she taught the course “Early Theories of Symptom Formation.” Dr. McNutt has served as Chair of the Faculty and on many committees, including, most recently the Program Committee.
Dr. Edward Nersessian is a Training and Supervising Analyst at NYPSI, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Weill-Cornell Medical College, and the Director of the Helix Center. His last paper, co-authored with Philip Herschenfeld, was on Therapeutic Action.

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

  1. describe shifts in psychoanalytic thinking from the 1960s to the 2010s about the relative roles of constitutional factors, preverbal object relationships, later experience, and associated unconscious fantasies with regard to the treatment of more disturbed patients, such as those with longstanding characterological disorders.
  2. describe and assess the contributions made to psychoanalytic theory and technique individually and jointly by Drs. Abend, Porder, and Willick, particularly in relation to the significance of unconscious fantasy.
