So why is Harvey the last great rattan dealer? Well, at 80 years old he’s still running the show and grabbing up all the great rattan known, even if it means going to a swap meet at 5am.

Psychoanalysis On and Off the CouchInternational Commentaries on the State of our Field with Fred Busch, Ph.D. (Chestnut Hill, Mass.)"I've long had concerns about the practice of psychoanalysis and that the theory underlying it has become a veritable Tower of Babel. We have these multiple views where everything is accepted as ‘psychoanalysis,’ but they really can't be because they're very different models and they call for very different things. I also feel that our field in general is drifting into sociology so that our national and international meetings feel like there is very little room for clinical discussions, and there are just so many clinical discussions that we need to have." Episode Description: Fred's edit...2023-04-3046 min

The Mind, Body and Soul in HealingStigma: How Support Groups for Mental Illness are Helpful with John Tamerin, MD "Because I couldn't help my son, I couldn't do anything for him, I thought maybe I could start this group and help other people and other parents deal with this problem. What I wasn't prepared to face was just how lonely, how alone, how sad, and feeling hopeless I was. In a way, when the group began, I needed the group as much as the group needed me. I've continued the group although I need it for different reasons - at that point I needed it because I felt overwhelmed because of the problem with m...2023-04-2037 min

Psychoanalysis On and Off the CouchChildren Exposed to Pornography: the Erosion of Latency with Franco D’Alberton, Ph.D. & Andrea Scardovi, MD, Ph.D. (Bologna) "They interviewed more than 6,000 American parents and their children from ages eight to thirteen. They wanted to identify what the perception and realities were of the parents' use of technology. It is important to know that about one-third of the children said that their parents spent equal or less time with them than in using their devices. Over half of the children felt that their parents check their devices too often and complained that their parents allow themselves to be distracted by the devices during conversation, something that made a third of them feel unimportant. Many parents...2023-04-1653 min

Psychoanalysis On and Off the Couch“Music Sounds the Way Emotion Feels”: from the Piano to the Couch with Julie Nagel, PhD (Dexter, Michigan)"Some of the shared concepts - even words that psychoanalysis and musicians use - such as conflict, ambiguity, silences, dissonance, resolution or not, working through, is in the Mozart you've heard. What you hear in the very opening four measures was worked through this entire sonata, it was thematic. If we play the whole sonata, and even in the first movement, you get a taste of it. Those themes are present throughout the sonata just like in the patient’s associations and interactions with you - we have music themes and we have core conflicts, and they get developed.” ...2023-04-0249 min

The Mind, Body and Soul in HealingHow Rituals Attach us to our Communities with Dimitris Xygalatas, Ph.D."If you randomly assign people in two groups and you give them different insignia or you have them go through different practices, as we saw in this study, they come to like each other more. It's very easy to create this basic sense of belonging and identity. Ritual is particularly good at eliciting that kind of sense also because it triggers our intuitions about what we call phenotypic matching, this is the idea that we have ways, psychological mechanisms, that allow us to recognize those that are members of our groups, especially kin, so if you think about it...2023-03-2456 min

Psychoanalysis On and Off the Couch'Wearing the Attributes' - 50 years as an Analyst with Judith Chused, MD (Washington, DC) “A child [patient] makes a mistake, upsets things - one doesn't console or complain, but just reflects whatever the patient's affect was at that moment, such as, ‘that seems to bother you’ or ‘it's hard to put those two pieces together’- to just observe it, to not have an affective response of disgust or irritation. The same thing is true if a patient comes in bragging or talking about something that made them very proud - to acknowledge their being proud but to not get all excited. The kind of things that often these children who have a lot of dif...2023-03-1958 min

Psychoanalysis On and Off the CouchFrom Immunology to Psychoanalysis: Reflections on Primitive Mental States with Shiri Ben Bassat (Tel Aviv) “This is the first time that I really felt what is meant by cell relations. You have object relations and you have part-object relations and anxieties that are depressive and schizophrenic. But when I deal with primitive anxieties, I really felt cell relations. What I felt is that my cells were going beyond my skin and I felt that she felt that my cells were going beyond her skin. You have this diffuse transference and when you have this sort of transference it took me to prenatal life and biological life. Also, I had all those theoretical people like Tus...2023-03-0545 min

The Mind, Body and Soul in HealingMight Rapamycin Extend our Lifespan, Healthspan, and Cognitive Functioning? with Arlan Richardson, PhD "One of the things that is very exciting is that this is a very robust finding. In other words, sometimes in science people see something and then it's not replicated - Rapamycin’s impact on lifespan has been replicated. When I started researching this area 50 years ago, I never felt that we would find a pill that would have an impact on aging and lifespan. Aging is very complex - to find one thing that would have an impact was highly unlikely. So when this happened in 2009, I had a small part in this, it was really very exciting be...2023-02-2448 min

Psychoanalysis On and Off the CouchFreud Encounters C.S. Lewis as imagined by Mark St. Germain "[in the play Freud's Last Session]... with the sound of the bombers both men react as they did the first time - with fear. But this time instead of disguising it they admit to it. That admittance was the bond between them. Freud also was shaken by the whole experience. At the very end of the play, and repeatedly through the play, there were reports on the BBC about the war. The BBC at that point had a live orchestra, and when the news was finished the orchestra would jump in and play music until the next news bulletin...2023-02-1944 min

Psychoanalysis On and Off the CouchPsychoanalytic Reflections on Evil with Dr. Roger Kennedy (London) "I feel as a psychoanalyst one has to respond to the world. We can’t just simply remain in our consulting rooms although that has always been vitally important for my identity and thinking. We can’t turn a blind eye to what is going on in the world. There are a lot of awful things going on - a lot of genocides, a lot of similar kinds of processes that were seen in the Holocaust, that were seen in slavery, and they are continuing. We need to stand up, we need to say what’s going on, we need t...2023-02-0552 min

Psychoanalysis On and Off the CouchCan Psychoanalysis be Identical Everywhere? with Jorge Bruce (Lima) "Psychoanalysis is a translation of what I call in Spanish, Psicoanalisis Criollo, which means that we are hybrid cultures in Latin America, and that is something that we should never forget. We have been acting in the Psychoanalytical Society for so long as if we were living in some big modern city of the first world, like London, Paris, San Francisco, New York. I think that this ignoring or even denial of the fact that we are not there, we live in societies which are in many ways different than societies from the first world and we have to t...2023-01-2200 min

The Mind, Body and Soul in HealingAn Analyst's Novel: Resilience in the Face of a Mother's Death with Kerry Malawista, PhD "One way a child of Jody’s age deals with loss is that you don’t miss the person, in a sense you can become them. So, I have her step into the mother role, immediately trying to look after the younger ones and then wearing her mother sunglasses - it’s like she becomes her and then you don’t miss her so much. The neighbor is like an analyst figure, and she goes over and talks to this woman, Juliette, a very kind woman. I had Juliette say to her: ‘The way I see it, a death doesn’t ha...2023-01-1335 min

Psychoanalysis On and Off the CouchPsychoanalysis and Opera – rejoining the verbal and non-verbal with Steven Goldberg, MD and Lee Rather, Ph.D. (San Francisco) “Unconsciously, or sometimes just without really focusing on it, we’re always responding to the musicality of the patient’s voice. I think that careful listening and study of opera really hones our ability to do that. We pay more attention to it and we can potentially make not just unconscious use of it but also conscious use of it. As we listen to how the music itself is conveying the story that the patient is telling, it’s not necessarily the same story as the words are telling. What is often interesting is that the musicality of the voice, w...2023-01-081h 14

Psychoanalysis On and Off the CouchPsychoanalytic Fieldwork: A Woman Psychanalyst (Training Analyst IPA) Working in Eastern Africa with Dr. phil. Barbara Saegesser (Biel/Bienne, Switzerland)"The psychoanalytic frame I have built in myself helps me to find a way to not go too near and not be too distant to a person. It is other than what we learn when we learn to be psychoanalysts. Then we have the opportunity to feel in a room where we are not in danger - it’s more the patient that feels in danger. He is coming and he has fears - but we, knowing our room, our couch, we don’t have many fears. But if you work as I did in an open field, in diff...2022-12-1149 min

Psychoanalysis On and Off the CouchTeaching Dynamic Therapy through Storytelling with Anne Adelman, Ph.D. (Chevy Chase, MD) and Kerry Malawista, Ph.D. (Potomac, MD)“When I first started teaching it was most often done through theory, and teaching these complicated words with hard-to-understand concepts. It never made sense to me, to be honest, as a student myself. So, when I began teaching, I would tell stories whether they were about my own life or about my children as a way to express the idea of whatever the concept was. I found that the students became so engaged and interested, and it made sense to them. I think it also made it less frightening when they heard these diagnoses and different terms that scared th...2022-11-2753 min

Psychoanalysis On and Off the CouchAnalytic Desire, Listening and Letting Go witAnalytic Desire, Listening and Letting Go with Mitchell Wilson, MD (Berkeley)h Mitchell Wilson, MD (Berkeley)"It seemed to me in my training, also in my scholarly pursuits, that desire did not have conceptual status in most analytic clinical theory. Most traditions did not have a way of talking about the analyst’s motivations with the exception of the well-worn ideas about the analyst’s ‘blind spots’. But in terms of specific motivations, we just didn’t have a way to think about them. Yet it seemed to me that over and over again, especially around the thorny problem of clinical impasses and iatrogenic resistances caused by the analyst’s activity, that the analyst’s intention and...2022-11-131h 07

The Mind, Body and Soul in HealingBipolar Disease, Insulin Resistance and Metformin: New Research with Cynthia Calkin, MD "The best way to think about insulin resistance is that it’s pre-diabetes. In the course of developing type 2 diabetes, which we see in much higher rates in people with bipolar disorder compared to the general population, one starts off with normal blood sugar levels but elevated insulin. It is the elevated insulin that pushes the blood sugar down into the normal range. This is typically something that is missed by physicians because there’s been no medical indication to test for it [insulin level]. After the metabolic dysregulation progresses, patients become glucose intolerant, and at that point a doct...2022-11-0444 min

Psychoanalysis On and Off the CouchPoliPolish Psychoanalysis, Ukraine and Intergenerational Trauma with Edyta Biernacka (Krakow)sh Psychoanalysis, Ukraine and Intergenerational Trauma with Edyta Biernacka (Krakow)"During the treatment they start to think about their family, they want to understand what really happened to their parents that made them such monsters towards their own children? They start to look for the origins of their family and the history of the family and they found transgenerational traumas from both sides - family members who were victims and family members who were persecutors. This is something on the personal level we have to live with all the time. When you can read the memoirs of different people you can also find both sides - the people who...2022-10-3044 min

Psychoanalysis On and Off the CouchForeignness, the Blues, and Psychoanalysis in Iran with Gohar Homayounpour, PsyD (Tehran) "Aren't these daughters of Persia retelling that myth [Shahnameh] as we speak - they put their hair down, Rudabeh put her hair down. This time maybe from this union there will now be a baby girl that will be born. This new epic female hero will transform this land. Something has happened - it’s an event, and whether we like it or not there is going to be a before and after. We observe the best of Rudabeh’s daughter in every single one of these girls. We know in psychoanalysis that these things are not something that can...2022-10-1650 min

The Mind, Body and Soul in HealingThe Value of Paternity Leave for Children and Families with Richard Petts, PhD "When paternity leave comes into the picture you have a situation where parents are home together. Those processes are able to develop for both the mother and the father - there’s time for fathers to bond with their children, there’s time for parents to figure out how to be parents together. It’s not so lopsided where mothers become the experts because they are there all the time. Mothers and fathers can develop that expertise together because they are both there at home at the same time. At this sort of crucial point where you figure everything out for...2022-10-0741 min

Psychoanalysis On and Off the CouchFrom Neurology to Psychoanalysis with Iftah Biran, MD (Tel Aviv) and Rachel Gross, MD (Philadelphia) "I started with an analyst right as I was ending residency and starting the fellowship in Behavioral Neurology and Movement Disorders. It was right in this transition time, and over time it transitioned into a psychoanalysis, and I think it served a number of functions. There was something about the way of exploring what was going on, trying to get to the bottom of it, trying to understand it, trying to understand oneself with another person, that I think was closer to what I was trying to get to originally. There was also something about him, my analyst, that...2022-10-021h 01

Psychoanalysis On and Off the CouchFemaleness, Fecundity and their Psychic Reach with Rosemary Balsam, MD "I feel very often that I can detect when people are doing case presentations, this ubiquitous tendency to not bother about the body. At a very superficial level it is accepted that we run around in bodies. What is actually a slightly deeper idea is that we run around in bodies, but our minds couldn’t have any function at all if our other parts of our functional systems weren’t also working, So the body and the mind of course are deeply interconnected. We do know that too, that’s not news, but it constantly becomes eliminated." ...2022-09-181h 06

The Mind, Body and Soul in HealingThe Role of Technology in Mental Health Care with Isaac Galatzer-Levy, PhD "There is a company called NightWare, that developed a feature for PTSD that uses components from Apple Watch. One of the primary symptoms in PTSD is intense nightmares which are very distressing, they disrupt their sleep and really drive a lot of symptomatology. This company created an app that detects when people with PTSD are having nightmares. It uses the existing sleep function [on the watch] to detect when they are having disruptive sleep. Then it uses the vibrating haptic to wake the patient up. So it is simply just disrupting their sleep, waking them up from a nightmare, a...2022-09-0959 min

When I finished my degree, I was actually very pessimistic - I had no idea that at close to age 55-56 that a psychoanalytic institute would even consider me but I did decide to take the leap and I ended up going to BPSI [Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute] and here I am." — Ellen Pinsky "The training time was a time of discovering - we read the authors I knew, and what was happening to me also at t...2022-09-0457 min

Psychoanalysis On and Off the Couch“Nothing is Unimportant” - Contemporaneous Records of Mass Trauma: The Ringelblum Archive with Samuel Kassow, PhD "The Archive begins in 1940. The Germans themselves do not decide they are going to murder all the Jews, they don’t decide on the Final Solution until late 1941. When the archive begins, Ringelblum is creating the archive in order to do what Max Weinreich was doing with the YIVO [Yiddish Scientific Institute] - that was to get people to write about their lives, to get people to describe their experiences so as to use the knowledge gained to help the psychological and the community rebuilding after the war. ‘The war will be over, and we will rebuild our lives, what...2022-08-211h 02

The Mind, Body and Soul in HealingDisability, Psychotherapy, and Resilience with H. Penny Mishkin, MS, OTR "I would say to any parent who has a child now or any adult who has a disability now - disabilities are looked at quite differently. They are accepted much more than they were when I was growing up. So, you can’t take things out of context, but I was just living a secret life and that wasn’t good, it really wasn’t. That was why I was remote, so what I would do is dissociate when I felt the pain of being so different and I really paid a price for that. I am not sure there...2022-08-0653 min

The Mind, Body and Soul in HealingShort Term Dynamic Psychotherapy for Physical Symptoms with Allan Abbass, MD"Someone comes in and they are having these fainting attacks and neurological symptoms, they do develop different anxiety channels and the first of their goal is to help them be able to identify and feel their emotions and not have any anxiety, but before getting there we help them learn to reflect on their body response and intellectual wise and it tends to make anxiety get into the muscles and so they are tense and intellectual and they can regulate the body better and they stop thinking in such, what is great. In between those two, there’s often a w...2022-07-2249 min

Psychoanalysis On and Off the CouchDynamic Psychotherapy of a Tortured Patient: Mentalization, Counter-transference, and Culture with Sverre Varvin, MD, Dr. Philos (Oslo, Norway)"I think every encounter with the patient is a potential re-humanizing experience, also for me as a therapist. Because when we are slowly experiencing this kind of positive emotion, especially when it comes to turning points, where the patient realizes that it is possible to trust another human being, that is a really remarkable experience with these patients who have all reasons to not believe that it is possible to trust other people - who have been disappointed, failed and maltreated so many times. So that is a re-humanizing experience that happens between the therapist and the patient - th...2022-07-1747 min

Psychoanalysis On and Off the CouchThe Analyst's Early Experiences: Emerging Themes in Theory and Practice with Karen Maroda, PhD "We are chosen [as children] for the roles of peacekeeper, soother, and possibly entertainer at times, because we temperamentally have been gifted with a certain degree of empathy, sensitivity, and psychological mindedness that was not true of our siblings. There is a reason why we’ve been chosen, and it is because of our innate abilities. Those innate abilities, of course, make for a fit with our chosen occupation. We start out as these empathic sensitive children who truly do not want to see our family members in pain and have a desire to take that pain away." ...2022-07-0351 min

The patients were allocated to the two groups and it was double-blind so we didn’t know if they took the probiotics or the placebo. They took it for four weeks and we did the assessments before the intervention and after the intervention and then we just compared. We compared how the trajectory of the depressive symptoms was in the two groups and this is the main effect that we found - that in the probiotics group the decrease of the depressive symptoms was greater than in the pl...2022-06-2431 min

Psychoanalysis On and Off the CouchOlder Analysts Aging Well with Judy Kantrowitz, PhD “Everyone was all for inclusion. There wasn't anybody who felt that this movement for inclusion was anything but good. But there were a lot of worries that in our focus on inclusion that we’ve turned away from thinking about the teaching of analysis per se - of what goes on with the analyst and the patient, teaching how we work with people, how we think about people. Countertransference can get lost in this way. Even though there is a focus on the countertransference in terms of discrimination, but that is just one factor. So, there was a lot of c...2022-06-1953 min

The Mind, Body and Soul in HealingDoes Religious Commitment Improve Academic Performance? (Sometimes) with Ilana Horwitz, PhD "How does religion matter here? The reason that kids who are religious ‘abiders’ end up having an academic advantage, especially in the working class and the middle class, is because their grades are so much better in the middle and high school years that their chances of getting into college are much higher. They also are constantly being told: “Oh you have good grades, you are college material,” so their chances of applying are higher. Grades in high school are a very strong predictor of college success, so their chances of graduating are higher. The reason it matters for them is...2022-06-1056 min

I am more concerned with the experiential nature of our work and what it means to be with someone and the kinds of experiences that follow from a certain way of being with someone, than a focus on transference, and transference interpretation. Not that I think those aspects of our work are unimportant, but I feel like what is foundational i...2022-06-051h 01

Psychoanalysis On and Off the CouchThe Psychoanalytic Consultant with Glen Gabbard, MD (Houston) "The role that an analyst plays is so important in terms of how people can be wounded, shamed and hurt in a variety of different ways. We need to be very thoughtful about our own residual psychopathology because no analyst is perfectly analyzed. It’s a lifelong stretch that we are going through to try to figure out what is bothering us with a particular patient." Episode Description: We begin by describing the nature of feeling 'stuck' in a clinical situation. We consider the contributions from both sides of the couch and the role that inte...2022-05-2251 min

"We had another CAT scan in September of last year, in 2021, and it showed another small nodule.

It is: ‘do your own internal work in the presence of an other who is doing his/her internal work’." Episode Description: We begin by learning about Mira's involvement in the ori...2022-05-0851 min

The Mind, Body and Soul in HealingBabies' Laughing and Joking: When and Why with Gina Mireault, PhD “That was actually Darwin's hypothesis in observing his own son and he writes about this in “The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals.” He writes about this incipient laughter – he was the first one to recognize this as a built-in response that the baby has that really pulls the baby into the adult world or pulls adults into the infant world. It is such an important emotional connection." Episode Description: We begin with recognizing the profound pleasure of sharing in an infant's laughter.

Psychoanalysis On and Off the CouchThe Masculine Trajectory and the Development of Male Interiority with Michael Diamond, Ph.D. (Los Angeles) “The father carries the separation function which is very important in terms of progressive differentiation from the mother rather than forceful opposition. It rests on something else that I think that we in psychoanalysis don’t take seriously enough - though Peter Blos did when he talked about the isogender attachment. The father also has to be an attracting object to the little boy - not just the separating object, but the attracting object. The little boy wants to desire the father and the love of the father - the whole homoerotic connection with the father, wrestling with the fath...2022-04-2458 min

The Mind, Body and Soul in HealingMothers, Daughters, and Food with Judith Rabinor, PhD "All Jenny knew was that she wanted to lose weight. One of the things I say to people when I teach about eating disorders is ‘treating eating disorders is all about food and not at all about food’. It is not at all about food, there is always an issue, it is not just about wanting to be thin. Even though in the late 70s’ Twiggy came on the scene and everybody thought Twiggy was the big inspiration for the eating disorder epidemic. Eating disorders are not about wanting to be thin, they are about wanting to escape one's own in...2022-04-1551 min

Of course, I can speak with them very personally about my experience. I see how much guilt they feel and how much pressure they feel from both sides, from inside Russia and outside.

The Mind, Body and Soul in HealingThe Neurology of Religious Belief with Andrew Newberg, MD "If somebody was to say a prayer to Jesus versus say a prayer to Allah versus say a prayer to Vishnu - in some sense that is going to be a similar kind of process in the brain. They are repeating certain words directed towards some higher power in their view. In some sense there is similarity across those different domains and those different traditions.

That has been shocking to me - to see and experience how our psychological frameworks have a coherence.

But in comparison to Russia it is very small and actually the Russian army is the second largest army in the world. It was unbearably scary to think about it, and we are very grateful to all the world who protect us with words, who protect us with weapons and with other supplies, so we are incredibly thankful."

The Mind, Body and Soul in HealingIntergenerational Secrets and their Discovery in Psychotherapy with Galit Atlas, PhD"There is a very close relation between being known and knowing others and allowing others to know us. When somebody goes to therapy, it usually impacts everyone around them in many ways. We can say it challenges relationships. It does many things. But one thing is that when you feel known and you are not hiding anymore, you realize that who you are is not so terrible, somebody actually likes it. Then you are able to allow others to know you and you become more curious in general - you are able to allow yourself to know others. There...2022-03-1142 min

Psychoanalysis On and Off the CouchMusical Improvisation and Free Association with Rafael Ornstein, MD"Patients may be bringing in harmonies that are tough to connect, fragments of life or things that cannot be integrated. And part of the improvisation in a way is to make sense, to create maybe a new improvisation that ties together different affects or maybe clusters of chords that feel unpleasant. Can we work with them musically to make sense of them at least? And maybe represent them not always in a pleasing way but through our improvisation, be able to create a new motif that now can be examined in different ways."

The Mind, Body and Soul in HealingWhen Someone You Care About Has an Eating Disorder with Judith Brisman, Ph.D.“When someone is disordered in their eating often what you find is that they’ve been a kid who has learned to have radar for the feelings of other people. Whether it’s a family where the kid can’t express their emotions and parents’ emotions rule, that kid has learned to look to the outside to figure out who she should be. So of course, in our culture that means that they looked to the scale, they looked to Instagram, but when it comes to sexuality it’s the same thing. This isn’t a matter of they’re having their...2022-02-2554 min

Psychoanalysis On and Off the CouchThe Eyes, The Drives, and Culture with Cordelia Schmidt-Hellerau, PhD"I'm interested in with what mind and what imagination and thoughts and association one person lives her life. That’s the common thread in all three novels and that is of course what interests me as an analyst practicing psychoanalysis, doing psychoanalytic work. It is also what interests me in terms of psychoanalytic theory, what goes on in the mind? That’s an endlessly fascinating question that I have." Episode Description: We consider three expressions of Cordelia's immersion in the world of psychoanalysis - her novels, her theoretical writings, and her work as chair of the IPA...2022-02-201h 02

The Mind, Body and Soul in HealingPolyvagal Safety, Sociality, and Health with Stephen Porges, PhD"Polyvagal theory at the simplest level emphasizes that we have a physiological system, and the autonomic nervous system mediates how we react and respond to the world. When our autonomic nervous system is calm it supports our bodily functions. It also provides permission at a neural level for us to trigger other parts of our brain that results in engagement with others. The secret underlining polyvagal theory is that there was an evolutionary linkage between cardioinhibitory fibers and the nerves that regulate the muscles in the face and neck – this enables our communication, what we call sociability or sociality. These aspects ar...2022-02-1156 min

We regularly use addictive objects whenever we are confronted with a circumstance that brings a lot of pain, emotional pain, more pain than we can bare." Episode Description: We begin by reviewing how remarkably pervasive pornography is on the internet. Claudia discusses the impact that viewing arousing scenes on a screen can have on one's psychosexual development. She describes its effects on our neurochemistry as well as on one's capacity to develop creative sublimations. The fundamental issue as seen by both guests involves detours from intimacy which J...2022-02-0649 min

One study measured a sense of authenticity - meaning the feeling of being ok to be oneself. They may choose to continue to be inward and notice what is coming up for them in their mind, in their body, or they might take their blindfolds off and they may choose to engage with us.

Psychoanalysis On and Off the CouchTrauma and tTrauma and the Capacity for Gratitude with Heinz Weiss, MD (Stuttgart)he Capacity for Gratitude with Heinz Weiss, MD (Stuttgart)"The acknowledgment of guilt it’s a prerequisite for reparation. There is no reparation without the acknowledgment of guilt and guilt arises when love and hatred come together within the same person. There is no need to feel guilt as long as we idealize a good object - there is no need to feel guilt as long as we have the bad object. When we discover that it is the same object, that our love feelings and our hatred are directed towards the same object, then guilt arises. I think of guilt more as a molecule, not as an atom." 2022-01-2349 min

The Mind, Body and Soul in HealingThe Challenges of Raising Adolescents with Erica Komisar"To be able to contain, withstand and hold the aggression of your adolescents who push you away, you have to feel very secure - meaning that you have to feel pretty good about yourself as a parent, that you have given them everything, that you have been present enough. It comes from a security and I find today that many, many parents are not secure in their feelings that they have given their children enough."

That gave us tremendous freedom - we didn’t need a nest so we were able to wander the planet. We could interact with all kinds of others as long as mom was there for the first couple of years, or let’s say, at least six months, to feed the baby. The relationship between the mother and the baby, of course, has been shown by many to be foundational to other forms of relationships. S...2021-12-171h 00

It is very difficult to reason with each side because each side believes that right and truth are on their side.” Episode Description: We begin by describing the current widespread craving for social homogeneity - the 'other' is deemed not only as foreign but foul and dangerous. Violence towards those who are different is tolerated if not valorized as purifying. Psychoanalysis has something to offer those who shout in order to not hear themselves. In additio...2021-12-1235 min

It’s even better when you don’t know how to do that person’s job because they work in a different industry to you. All you can do is ask and that is pure coaching. It’s an 80-20 ratio of speaking to listening - 80 percent of the time your job is to listen and to ask but not know the answer. Often the client thinks you do know the answer but actually you really don’t and that makes the coaching pure coaching. It resists becoming mentoring, or telling, or advising. It sits next to psychotherapy - I am...2021-12-0351 min

His teaching includes demonstrating how an analyst engages with the legal system in order to...2021-11-2853 min

The Mind, Body and Soul in HealingThe Psychology of Magic and its Use in Wellbeing with Gustav Kuhn, PhD "As cognitive psychologists we are very much interested in these unconscious processes. Most of the processes that are involved to create your reality you are not consciously aware of. There are more computations that happen in our unconscious minds to allow us to solve a lot of these problems. As within psychoanalysis we are often unaware of a lot of these processes, and as magicians this is very useful because it allows us to manipulate your experiences without you necessarily being aware of this."

What can psychoanalysts do?” I thought to myself “Well, the IPA holds a wealth of expertise, certainly psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic thinking can make a difference in our troubled world."

The Mind, Body and Soul in HealingListening and Prozac: Integrating Psychotherapy and Medications with Peter Kramer, MD "I write a lot about stuckness - it’s not just how bad the thing is but whether it’s changeable and flexible - whether the patient is at least occasionally able to get out of that perspective and see things differently. For patients who are really stuck, sometimes I would give them medicine and continue psychotherapy. After six or seven months of having a different perspective, if the medicine worked, we will often be able to taper the medicine and the patient could reach at least some awareness that that fixed perspective wasn’t simply the way things were." 2021-11-0542 min

Many people and communities were doing things that were harmful to themselves. I thought, ‘Well, one profession that spends a lot of its time exploring why individuals and indeed communities do things that harm themselves rather than operating in their best interest is psychiatry and indeed psychoanalysis’. So I went into medicine and qualified in medicine and then in psychiatry and later I went into analysis and...2021-10-3157 min

The Mind, Body and Soul in HealingWhat is the Placebo Effect and How Can it be Harnessed? with Joe Kossowsky, Ph.D. "We used [open-label placebo] in kids with Irritable Bowel Syndrome and the interesting thing about these patients is that they were only allowed to enroll in our study at Boston Children’s if all other treatments had failed. Basically. we had a population that had undergone numerous treatments with all of them not helping much. These are patients that didn’t have a positive classical conditioning that you would be hoping for - they came in with negative expectations about whether this would work.

I become Emma Bovary - it is a very famous expression by Flaubert saying, “I am Emma Bovary, Emma Bovary c’est moi.” I become someone else in a different place, in a different time, in a different body, sometimes in a different sex.

He weaves these together and Springsteen is not only a great example of how someone can live a creative life while enduring this kind of suffering, but he also shows how invisible depression can be to others. Who would have ever equated that the man who is just briming with life and vitality on stage was the same person who had periods in life where he found it very difficult to get out of bed.

We interpret just based on early material, what we know about the patient, some kind of reconstruction? Or are we facing a piece of reality that cannot be analyzed, just analyzed. It might be acknowledged that you have to face it in some way or other, and this is the similarity with what might happen when the 4th wall is disrupted."

The Mind, Body and Soul in HealingVarieties of Attunement and the Spectrum with Edward Brodkin, MD and Ashley Pallathra, MA"The first pillar is relaxed awareness - we talk about it as the fundamental state of mind and body that is the basis of attunement. Listening is the taking in of cues and information from the other person. Understanding is cognitively processing and understanding that information that you’ve taken in. The final pillar is mutual responsiveness. It is in essence the active component of attunement - what you do towards the other person once you’ve taken in and understood that information."

It has been more than one and a half years...I think that we will be able to think about the consequences and the impact of working in this way, and in the upcoming years we will have a lot of material.” Episode Description: We begin with a review of our first two podcast conversations - the first being the inaugural epis...2021-09-1941 min

When we have conditions where we feel safe, then we tend to have dominance of the activity of the parasympathetic system."

I thought I would perish there, that I was going to die there and then, which was exactly what they wanted me to think. Their intention was to overwhelm me with terror, and they did. But then Swanepoel’s interrogation partner, a man named Harvey Richter, produced this brick and he held it up in front of me right across my eyes and I thought, looking at its granular surface, that it would abrade my face when he hit me with it.

Really what Zen talks about is the limitation of just focusing on thoughts. Most of the time we are lost in our thoughts - we focus exclusively on our thoughts with much less attention to sensations, to perceptions of the world."

At these moments it’s not important if the patient goes over their Oedipus or not, if he has a good momma or a bad momma.

One of the most important things that happens during this phase is the emergence of what is truly valued by the individual. Consider when there is a cancer diagnosis - it seems that at that point everything about them falls away except their body, their cancer, their chemo, their vomiting and so forth.
