In Clinical Practice and in Everyday Life

The program will feature (remote) addresses from two international keynote speakers:

Professor Robert D. Stolorow Character and Emotional Phenomenology: Psychotherapeutic and Ethical Implications?

Judith Rustin Beyond the Words: Procedural Memory and the Implicit Dimension of Psychoanalytic Dialogue

Robert D. Stolorow, Ph.D. (Psychology), Ph.D. (Philosophy) is a Founding Faculty Member at the Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis, Los Angeles, and at the Institute for the Psychoanalytic Study of Subjectivity, New York City. He is the author of World, Affectivity, Trauma: Heidegger and Post-Cartesian Psychoanalysis (Routledge, 2011) and Trauma and Human Existence: Autobiographical, Psychoanalytic, and Philosophical Reflections (Routledge, 2007) and coauthor of eight other books. He has won numerous prestigious awards in the field of psychoanalysis. 

Judith Rustin, LCSW, is a faculty member and supervising psychoanalyst at the Institute for the Psychoanalytic Study of Subjectivity, The Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Study Center, both in New York City and The Chinese American Psychoanalytic Association. She has lectured nationally and internationally and published scholarly papers on self-psychology, intersubjectivity systems theory and more recently the interface of infant research and neuroscience with these two psychoanalytic models, as in her recently released book Infant Research and Neuroscience at Work in Psychotherapy (W.W. Norton & Co. 2013).

This conference offers a program that will engage participants in dialogue regarding the application of psychoanalytic thinking to clinical practice, and other human endeavours, with a particular focus on contemporary developments in psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychology.

An essential aspect of contemporary psychoanalysis is the work that takes place within the clinician. Therefore the program will allow space for interactive discussion of scientific papers, as well as experiential workshops. Thus providing delegates with various opportunities to engage in ‘thinking psychoanalytically’ throughout the conference.
