The Dialogue of Unconsciouses, Mutual Analysis and the Uses of the Self in Contemporary Relational Psychotherapy.

7-9pm: (CST): ZOOM Presentation & Discussion

About the presentation: This presentation will explore the ways in which analytic psychotherapy is a mutual endeavor, in which patients and analysts come to know more about themselves, grow, change, and experience personal transformation as a function of their encounter with the other.  Ferenczi’s experiments in mutual analysis, and his emphasis on a ‘dialogue of unconsciouses’ at the heart of psychoanalytic work will serve as a point of departure for the discussion.

Anthony Bass, PhD, is an associate professor and clinical consultant at the New York University Postdoctoral Program for Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy. He is on the faculty of the Columbia University Medical Center department of Psychiatry, and their Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research, where he is a training and supervising analyst. He was a founding editor of Psychoanalytic Dialogues: the International Journal of Relational Perspectives, editor in chief for twelve years, now Editor Emeritus. He was a founder and is president of the Stephen Mitchell Relational Study Center, and a founding director of the International Association for Relational Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy. He is in private practice for psychoanalysis, psychotherapy and supervisory consultation in New York City, and leads clinical workshops and study groups around the US, Europe and Israel.
