Contemporary psychoanalytic controversies have focused renewed attention on the role of the analyst.  This can be viewed as a constructive shift of emphasis, or as detracting from analytic process.

The contributors to the Symposium will consider theoretical aspect of techniques, on what grounds changes from classical technique are recommended and applied.  Subjects are likely to include free association, countertransference, transference, neutrality, abstinence, self-revelation, enactment, intersubjectivity and in the broad sense, the influence of the analyst.

The conference will focus on two clincial presentations of analytic material.  Dr. Furer will raise questions about technique from a classical and historical perspective.  The issues will be taken up by the panelists and with the audience.

Goals include clarifying when deviations from classical technique are justified.  We will also explore the theoretical grounds for such shifts.  When does emendation ad correction of the classical de-empahsis of the role and influence of the analyst enhance the analytic process, and when do these changes compromise important aspects of analytic work as we understand it?

The Extension Committee invites mental health professionals and other members of the community who are interested in psychoanalysis to attend a series of seminars taught by our members and invited guests.
