TERMINATION:
ENDINGS IN PSYCHOANALYTIC PSYCHOTHERAPY
AND PSYCHOANALYSIS
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7, 2024
1:30 PM – 3:30 PM
PRESENTER: JEFFREY H. GOLLAND, Ph.D.
Psychoanalysis is presumed to have an end-phase, but candidates are rarely taught about ending treatment. Psychoanalytic psychotherapy training may focus even less on endings, yet all treatment ends whether well or otherwise. For therapists in training there may be a built-in ending, at least with that clinician. Issues range from a therapist leaving a clinic to an analyst’s illness or retirement. This workshop will address the varieties of endings, how to approach them and how to work with them.
Learning Objectives:
Participants will:
1) be familiar with the issue of treatment endings as addressed in the psychoanalytic literature of the past 100 years.
2) delineate circumstances affecting treatment endings in psychoanalytic psychotherapy - and the importance of attending to endings.
3) appreciate the “exquisitely individualistic” nature of endings, as in all clinical psychoanalytic work.
PRESENTER: JEFFREY H. GOLLAND, Ph.D. Certificate in Psychoanalysis, New York Freudian Society. Faculty: Metropolitan Institute for Training in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, Adult Program. Former Faculty, Training and Supervising Analyst: New York Freudian Society. Clinical Professor: Mount Sinai School of Medicine.

ZEN BUDDHISM AND PSYCHOANALYSIS:
A REALIZATIONAL PERSPECTIVE
SATURDAY, JANUARY 25, 2025
10:00 AM – 12:00 NOON
PRESENTER: PAUL C. COOPER, Ph.D., LP
This workshop examines the integration of Zen Buddhism and Psychoanalysis in a clinically relevant manner derived from the works of the British psychoanalyst Wilfred Bion and the Soto Zen teacher Eihei Dogen, which is based on and elaborated in terms of these four major points that described as the "Realizational Model." They include:
1. Primacy of experience rooted in the present moment;
2. Radical openness to unknowing;
3. Relationship between intuition and cognition;
4. Shift from an emphasis on static mind states to the fluidity of psychic functions and actional relationships.
It is within the structure provided by these four points that the realizational orientation will be elaborated.
Learning Objectives:
Participants will:
1) become familiar with the four points of the Realizational Model of psychoanalytic theory and practice.
2) understand the clinical application of the Zen concept of dependent co-arising in relation to the transference/countertransference dynamic.
3) understand the Zen practice of "just sitting" meditation and its impact on enhanced psychoanalytic listening.
4) understand the clinical use of “negative” states, such as the analyst’s inattention as related to the patient’s inner world.
