Summary
Candidates and senior clinicians alike struggle with the development
and maintenance of an analytic practices. At a 2004 meeting of the
Psychoanalytic Association of New York, Drs. Malini Singh and Stephanie
Newman, Senior Candidates at the NYU Psychoanalytic Institute, began
the exploration of this issue, inviting Dr. Sam Hershkowitz to discuss
the conversion therapy patients into analysands. Clinical material from
two control cases was used to illustrate how the issues of selection
and analyzability influenced the success of a conversion. This year
Drs. Singh and Newman have invited Dr. Stephen Bernstein, Training and
Supervising Analyst at the Boston Psychological Society, to discuss
technical issues which arise in working with patients' resistances to
the deepening of a treatment. Dr. Bernstein will discuss clinical material
provided by Dr. Anne Erreich, a Training and Supervising Analyst at
the NYU Psychoanalytic Institute, and will outline his views on helping
patients deal with affects and the regression which arise when treatment
intensifies. Dr. Bernstein contributions to the literature that deals
with this topic
