2007 CMPS Annual Conference - Center for Modern Psychoanalytic ...

Psychoanalysis for the XXI CenturyA Clinical Conferencehe talking cure was a revolutionary form of verbal treatment for emotional and mentaldisorders introduced by Sigmund Freud in the mid-nineteenth century. One hundredyears later, Hyman Spotnitz continued the tradition of discovery and innovation bydeveloping a clinical method for the most serious disorders of narcissism that took thename “Modern Psychoanalysis.” TTo introduce us to the twenty-first century, the Center has invited five outstanding psychoanalystswho have been closely associated with Hyman Spotnitz and who have participated significantly inthe development and evolution of modern psychoanalysis: Arnold Bernstein, Evelyn Liegner,Robert Marshall, Leslie Rosenthal and Murray Sherman. These innovative thinkers have eachmade many contributions to the field over their long careers, as reflected in their work aseducators, training and supervising analysts, in their many published writings, and as lecturersand speakers at conferences and workshops. For this conference they are coming together toexchange thoughts and feelings about their work, their experiences, their philosophy, and theirideas about psychoanalysis in the new century. They will invite us to join in dialogue with them.In the spirit of innovation the traditional workshops will assume a more prominent role and willstart right after the lunch break. Conference registrants are encouraged to raise questions, bringin ideas, and present clinical material for discussion in addition to the usual exchanges ofthoughts, impressions, and feelings. Our goal is to give participants a direct opportunity to learnexperientially under the leadership of seasoned analysts.As a further innovation, we will continue our discussion of how we work and think through the2007-2008 Professional Lecture Series to be held monthly at the Center. Those attending theselectures will also have an opportunity to interact with the speakers and the audience.The conference will reconvene as a whole following the workshops for a “Summing Up” of theday’s events. We will close with our customary wine and cheese reception.Center for Modern Psychoanalytic Studies Annual ConferenceSaturday.
