Keeping Thought Erotic
Alan Bass, NYFS, Presenter
Donald Moss, NY Psychoanalytic, Presenter

When the work of the analysis reaches a clinical impasse, it may be the point of greatest pain for the analyst. Dealing with this pain theoretically leads to an enlivened psychoanalytic practice.

I Am Eating – Not: From Hiding to Holding
Shelley Rockwell, PhD, Training and Supervising Analyst, PTI of NYFS, Presenter
Lindsay Clarkson, MD, Training and Supervising Analyst, Washington Center for Psychoanalysis, Discussant

This paper will explore the clinical situation in which a patient, through a complicated series of hiding, revealing, and hiding again creates an analytic stalemate. The importance of early binary splitting and, when this splitting fails, the subsequent problems of fragmentation and confusion will be discussed. The analyst must be in contact with what is real in her patient, knowing at any moment this may shift.
