Patrick
B. Kavanaugh, Ph.D., was
invited to speak at a symposium in Chicago
this past February sponsored by the Chicago Open
Chapter for the Study of Psychoanalysis. The symposium was
titled, An Ethic of Free Association: Reclaiming Our
Profession, Education, and Practices.
Dr.
Kavanaugh has been invited to present his paper,
“Frankenstein's Genie-ology: The Magical Visionary
Experience and the Associative Method,” at the University of
Surrey in London, England, in November. Frankenstein's
Genieology... has been accepted by the Psychoanalytic
Review for publication in
2005. The focus of this essay is descriptive and centers on
the poetic-artistic perception of the magical visionary
experience; its emphasis is on the associative method as the
primary mode of presencing, relating, and knowing a central
organizing experience of a man living his life as the
monstrous creature created by Victor Frankenstein.
Dr.
Kavanaugh’s paper, “Wang Fo and an Ethic of Free
Association: Poetic Imagination, Mythical Stories, and Moral
Philosophy,” will be presented in November at the fifteenth
annual interdisciplinary conference of the IFPE in Chicago.
“Wang Fo and an Ethic of Free Association…” turns to
literature to articulate an ethic for the analytic
practitioner consistent with the ethical principles and
guidelines published by Division 32 (Humanistic Psychology) of
the APA.
Roxanna
Transit, Ph.D., has edited a
book, Disciplining the Child Via the Discourse of the Professions,
published by Charles C. Thomas, LTD, in June 2004. The book is
part of the American Series in Behavioral Science and Law.
In this text, the authors critically consider and
discuss the constitution of the child in the professions and
in the institutions informed by professional discourse. The
text is intended as a contribution to the discourse that has
formed and dominated the modern picture of today's youth and
which promotes a universal experience for each child.
Linda
J. Young, Ph.D., will
be presenting a paper as part of a panel presentation
entitled, “Parallel Processes, Openings, and Closings in
Psychoanalytic Training” at the meetings of the
International Federation for Psychoanalytic Education in
November 2004. Her paper will include a discussion of case
material presented by a candidate in training within a
psychoanalytic institute, emphasizing the ubiquity and
importance of parallel process with regard to spoken and
unspoken communications in three contexts--therapy,
supervision and the professional conference. Her paper will
explore the myriad ways in which multiple iterations of self
are expressed in ‘self’ and ‘other’ paradigms within
both the clinical and supervisory hours. Implications for
therapy of the supervisor’s definition of “analytic
discourse” as well as her/his attitudes, theories, and
philosophical assumptions will be explored. Specifically, the
supervisor’s use of a medical model of treatment as opposed
to an alternative perspective derived from philosophy, the
humanities and the arts will be discussed with regard to the
implications for both psychotherapy and supervision.
