Fridays@CCP May 3, 2019 Stephen Seligman, D.M.H (San Fransisco, CA) Psychoanalytic Babies: Relational-Developmental Psychoanalysis Now Instituto Cervantes 31 W Ohio, Chicago 6:30-7pm: Registration and refreshments 7-9pm: Presentation and discussion Stephen Seligman, D.M.H. is Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco; Joint Editor-in-Chief of Psychoanalytic Dialogues; Training and Supervising Analyst at the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis and Psychoanalytic Institute of Northern California, and Clinical Professor at the NYU Postdoctoral Program in Psychoanalysis.  Dr. Seligman has recently authored Relationships in Development: Infancy, Intersubjectivity, and Attachment (Routledge), and is co-editor of the American Psychiatric Press’ Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health: Core Concepts and Clinical Practice. About the presentation: We will consider how analytic practice can be affected by thinking about infants and children, asking how (and whether) we can talk about babies and patients in the same breath.  Video illustrations will be included, and case material will be considered.   The presentation will bring together what remains vital in the classical psychoanalytic traditions with the emerging intersubjectivist-Relational sensibility, including new findings in the areas of attachment, infant-parent interaction research, developmental neuroscience, trauma, and the like.  It will consider analogies between infant-parent and patient-therapist interaction patterns, how looking at babies brings the lived experience of the body back into analysis, and helps us think about the non-verbal, emotional and interactive realms.  An orientation to the history of developmental psychoanalysis and the place of infancy and childhood in different analytic approaches will be offered, and the different “analytic babies” will be described and compared--Freud’s baby, Klein’s baby, Winnicott’s baby, the Relational baby….  Learning Objectives Participants will increase their use of psychotherapeutic interventions based on understanding how young children develop. Participants will be able to make useful and direct observations of therapist-patient interactions. Participants will clarify how different psychoanalytic conceptions of infancy affect their own case formulation and intervention strategies. This Intermediate presentation will be of interest to graduate students and mental health professionals. Fees CCP members: free with annual $150 membership, payable at registration.
