Information Regarding CE Credit for Psychologists
Educational Objectives:
This course is designed to help you
1. Understand what is known about the neurobiology of dreams and dreaming as well as what is unknown and controversial. This neurobiology includes studies of brain anatomy, electrophysiology, neurochemistry, and brain imaging techniques.

2. Understand the origins and evolution of the psychoanalytic theory of dreams and dreaming processes as originally outlined by Freud and as developed up until the current time. The history of some controversies evoked by the psychoanalytic theory will be reviewed.

3. Learn the history of objections to the classical Freudian theory of dreams and dreaming processes, why some of these continue to pose serious questions for the theory and why some have been answered more or less adequately.

4. Become familiar with the findings of Solms and the problems highlighted by Hobson. You will also learn the modifications Hobson has made to his theory of dreams and dream processes.

Who Should Attend:
Mental health professionals (psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and licensed psychotherapists).

For my first message to you about the international psychoanalytic website since the APsaA meetings and the stunning election outcomes which I hope you all know by now, I will begin by saying that our editors don’t skip a beat in providing us with varied and interesting posts. I am omitting some in the Announcements which had been in previous posts from me. As for my own choices, I am starting in medias res with a post from the book section, ( having to do with my interest in children and abuse) as well as a few others, but encourage you to also make your own choices. The interviews on UTube are wonderful!

My suggestions for this week:
1) Please read and, as I did, imagine how you would write a review which Katie Roiphe did of “Girl Land” – an eternally written book on how to protect young girls from the world, no matter what society we are talking about. Could more have been said …? Girls in different parts of the world, which is now so small, have different issues to deal with.

2) The Dangerous Method Posts continue to be riveting.

3) Please acquaint yourselves with all the prominent 2011 Sigourney Award winners.

4) Interested in the analysis of the emotional side of finance? You will find David Tuckett’s ( he is Fellow, Institute of Psychoanalysis; Professor, University College London) excerpt from Minding the Markets: an Emotional Finance Five of Financial Intstabiltiy in the Huffington Post quite provocative and possibly accurate?
Click Here to Read: 

5) The General News category contains several posts on psychoanalysis from concerns about its current plight to Freud’s Moses and Monotheism. All are well written and worth reading/reviewing and commenting on!!

6) We have known from our work that stress causes dysfunction, but it is rather disquieting that science has discovered that “being stressed out, coupled with history of stressful life events” shrinks your frontal lobes. Please read in the Science Category.

This report concerns his visit in South Africa on Mark Solms’ estate.
Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Leah and I had an exciting visit with Mark Solms, the well-known psychoanalyst and neuropsychologist who has done so much to shape contemporary views of the dreaming brain and the neuroscience of subjectivity. Mark was quite interested in Beth Kalish’s and my findings about dreams among the Achuar in the Amazon. We talked about those at some length and considered the issue of worldwide similarities in dream contents in relation to the neuroscience of dreaming. There may be further developments about this topic as we look to the future. He also had lots to say about his debates with Alan Hobson and the current state of scientific research on the….

As you are recovering from what I hope was an enjoyable Thanksgiving feast, unless you are traveling during this holiday weekend, you will have a little more time to read the variety of posts and comment on the international psychoanalysis website. The increasing global financial and political turbulence is reflected in this week***s content. The issue of medical and mental health coverage in the USA is also much more prominent.

Having chosen a few posts that stood out for me, I would especially direct you to the Annoucements which I usually just list. Austen Riggs has a new director and CEO, Donald E. Rosen, M.D.*** He is conducting a clinician survey and is asking the following questions: * Treatment modalities you see as effective;

* Changes in treatment approaches you foresee;

**** Which treatment centers you view as outstanding;

* Trends in your practice that indicate an increase in the number of treatment-resistant patients

I think that this is a marvelous for psychoanalysts to raise their voices, , and make a contribution and be heard at a marvelous residential treatment center in Stockbridge, MA, which has traditionally been a bastion of psychodynamic treatment. Please consider responding.

Having underscored this, let me give you my choices this week, followed by the table of contents:

1) Clinician Survey from Austen Riggs
Click Here to Read: This Article

2) I would urge you to read both books listed below on Freudianism and Marxism , and on Freud***s Free Clinics. They both take us back to what psychoanalysis was about at its roots.

3) John Lagos*** The Life Report is very moving and I recommend it to all.

4) The posts on the film ***A Dangerous Method*** are numerous and important for its historical value to us, as, beyond knowing that Freud, Jung and Sabina Speilrein were the principals in the story *** the veracity of the film cannot be proven and as you know has been challenged.

5) Reading the paper by Jacob Arlow on being a candidate in the Forties, and by Robert Langs on Psychoanalysis and Science are both interesting and thought provoking!

In remembrance of Veterans Day, I have listed my choices this week with conflict, war , trauma and resolution in mind. However there are numerous other posts on the international psychoanalytic website that are a must read and I urge you to browse in addition to my suggestions.

My choice are as follows:

1) HIDDEN BATTLES *** a film to be shown at IPTAR *** on the life changing experiences of Israeli and American soldiers
Click Here to Read This Article

2) . Pedrito: Blood of the Ancestors with Martha Bragin at IPTAR ***Spirits and demons . . . are only projections of man***s own emotional impulses. He turns his emotional cathexes into persons, he peoples the world with them and meets his internal mental processes again outside himself.*** Sigmund Freud (Totem and Taboo)

***In Angola, as in other African nations such as Uganda today, child soldiers were recruited in a bloody 27 year war between opposition groups and the government. Pedrito, an Angolan youth, became a child soldier in a rebel army at the age of 8***..***

Dr. Bragin received the Hayman Prize of the IPA for work with trauma in children and adults.

3) Analysts on the Front Lines: Four WW-II Veterans Recall their Combat Experience (Part 1)

On December 5, 1996, four World-War II combat veterans who are also psychoanalysts at the New York Psychoanalytic Institute got together for a very special Veteran***s Day presentation. Each of the four shared stories of their actual combat experience on the front lines during Worls War II. In these insightful memoirs, many personal, heroic, and painful memories were shared with the audience, and a fascinating and engaging Q & A session followed the program. The four analysts involved were M.Donald Coleman (also moderator), Howard Schlossman, Murray Nadelman, and Eugene Kaplan. This program captures some truly historic memories and is quite moving. (This post is part 1 of a 2 part series with Eugene Kaplan***s presentation and the
question-and-answer session )

This entry was posted on Wednesday, June 16th, 2010 at 5:56 pm and is filed under Audio/Video, NYPSI Centenary 1911-2011.

XVIII.  Freud***s Free Clinics: Psychoanalysis and Social Justice,
1918-1938 by Elizabeth Ann Danto

 Reviewed by  Marilyn S. Jacobs, PhD, ABPP, Vol. 26 (2), 40-41

***In Freud***s Free Clinics: Psychoanalysis and Social Justice,
1918-1938, Danto tells the story of how the beginning of
psychoanalysis was intertwined with the European progressive social
movement. Thus, at its inception, the clinical practice of
psychoanalysis ***conformed to the social-democratic political ideology
that prevailed in post World War I Vienna*** (p. 2). The early
psychoanalysts expressed this commitment by providing services to the
working classes and the poor. From 1920 until 1938, psychoanalytic
treatment centers were opened in ten cities and seven countries,
including Vienna, Berlin and Budapest. The author interprets this
trend as due to *** *** the heady climate of progressivism and social
movements between the two world, wars *** (in which) *** psychoanalysis
was supposed to share in the transformation of civil society, and
these new outpatient treatment centers were to help restore people to
their inherently good and productive selves*** (p. 3). The author
describes how the involvement of the first psychoanalysts was intended
to promote liberation and contribute to the struggle for a better
world.***

THE BERLIN RESEARCH RESOURCE FOR THERAPEUTIC IMPASSES
The field of psychotherapy has come to a kind of maturation. Large scale, repeated meta-analytic findings on the shorter treatments of all kind basically agree that the portion of outcome variance explained by the kind of therapy on the average is around 10%; the outcome variation explained by the therapist´s capacity to establish a working treatment is around 20%; the outcome variation explained by the patient´s capacity to utilize treatment is around 30%. The rest is unexplained variance due to many factors etc. The most logical action – accepting these findings – is the support of patients´for mastering difficult situations in treatment – but excactly this has not yet been been conceptualized. We all agree that difficulties with patients will bring therapists to peer supervison (in Germany called intervision); why not have supervion for patients in difficult situations.

Long before treatments fail due to border crossing or obvious lack of care that make even the most patient patients leave, patients should be offered a facility to seek professional advice.

This research project will provide patients with a resource for scrupulous, impartial consultative review of a treatment and for recommendations for future care.

Protocols will be developed and researchers employed to discern and categorize the problems brought to the facility. Scientific papers that will inform and improve clinical practice are the goal of this work.

Recommendations will be made but no treatment will be available through the advisors of the project itself. The concept of the project uses a third person to disentangle problematic situations that hinder patients to better sttand through conflictual situation that other wose might lead to the experience of treatment failure.

It is therefore not a traditional “second opinion” offered to evaluate the suitability of a treatment before work is begun, nor will there be any possibility of using the project as an alternative treatment source. It will remain carefully and rigorously neutral in its study and recomendations.

Principal investigator: Horst Kaechele, MD, PhD
