    Participants will view and discuss the movie “My Dinner with Andre.” In this movie, two old friends talk about their life experiences and ideas about art in ways that encapsulate two fundamental approaches to existence: the romantic/Dionysian, and the classical/Apollonian.

  • More Than One Can Live: Reconceiving Harm and Reparation in the Intersubjective World Scientific Program by Jessica Benjamin, PhD

    Virtual Event via Zoom LA

    In the therapeutic process, we encounter impasses where one must seemingly harm or be harmed by the other, and it feels as though there is only room for one psyche to live.

    In a 1986 article (“Countertransference Enactments”) that introduced the term enactment into the psychoanalytic literature, Ted Jacobs observed how his vigilant attention to a patient’s narratives foreclosed an opportunity to relax his own mind and follow his associations.

    NOBPC 3624 Coliseum Street, New Orleans, LA, United States

    This single case presentation will attempt to demonstrate how the shifting internal experience of the therapist’s mind, in reaction to the patient’s developmental needs, serves to signal the therapist that maturation is occurring.

    NOBPC 3624 Coliseum Street, New Orleans, LA, United States

    Lacan and Winnicott both believed that mirroring was very important in early development, but focused on different aspects and outcomes.
