Adrienne Rich's “Transcendental Etude”: The Poetics of
Self-Transformation
Presentation by Hilary Maddux, LCSW
The Transformation from Non-Being to Being
Discussion by Elizabeth Corpt, LICSW
Hilary Maddux, LCSW, will present her award-winning paper, which was honored with the Gradiva Award for Best Candidate Paper and with the International Journal of Psychoanalytic Self Psychology's Candidate Essay Award.
In reading the works of many psychoanalysts, Hilary has been impressed by how often they use poetry to explore territory for which there are no maps. This paper explores self-transformation, how the poem parallels our earliest experiences of “being-in-the-world» and the therapeutic actions that accompany analysis. She suggests psychoanalysts might incorporate an aesthetic sensibility into the work to permit a deeper reach into the within and the between of the unspoken - sometimes unspeakable -experiences of our patients and ourselves.
Hilary Maddux, LCSW, has a private practice in Manhattan where she has practiced for 25 years. She holds an analytic certificate from the Institute for the Psychoanalytic Study of Subjectivity. She has a special interest in trauma, abuse, death and dying, and in the interface between psychoanalysis and philosophy.
Elizabeth Corpt, LICSW, is the president-elect, supervising analyst, faculty member and Board of Directors member at the Massachusetts Institute for Psychoanalysis, and a faculty member at the Harvard Medical School, Department of Psychiatry at the Cambridge Health Alliance Program for Psychotherapy.
