Lying and the Construction of Self
This presentation will address the development and function of lying in relation to one’s self-concept from multiple theoretical perspectives. A case example of infidelity will be offered to explicate the process.
After attending the presentation, participants will be able to:
- Describe normative development of self, and the function that lies play in its development.
- Differentiate between pathological and normative lying.
Carlos Padrón
Psychoanalysis and the Fragmentary: The Uncanny, Enactments, and “Truth”
This presentation will explore how, through therapy, engagement with “truth” constitutes an interruption of the status quo that fragments subjective experience. Viewing the short film “The Hysterical Girl,” based on Freud's Dora case, will demonstrate a modernized version of Dora with the mis-attunement that could occur, including in the areas of diagnosis and gender roles, in the 19th/ 20th centuries until this day in the 21st century. In essence, the patient's “truth” is undermined, and a sense of surprise is missing. Clinical vignettes will be offered.
After attending the presentation, participants will be able to:
- Explain the enactments that occur with interruptions in the clinical encounter.
- Describe the ways in which the “truth” potentially disrupts psychic equilibrium as part of a wider process of growth and development.
Cathy Siebold
Confronting Triangular Dynamics
The “truth” of gender is a subject of debate. Clinically, this encourages greater openness to hearing triangular struggles from a non-linear, non-binary perspective.
After attending the presentation, participants will be able to:
- Discuss contemporary thinking about gender.
- Describe triangular struggles in the treatment process.
Christian J. Churchill
“Surrender and Catch” as a Path to Truth in the Psychoanalytic Situation
The sociologist and ethnographer Kurt Wolff developed an approach to field work stipulating that the researcher must experience “cognitive love” toward the subjects in a field setting in order to understand them. His theory identified five elements of love central to this method: total involvement; suspension of received notions; the pertinence of everything; identification; and openness to the risk of being hurt. The presentation will show how this conceptualization can be applied to psychodynamic treatments that foster understanding and transformation in patients and therapists.
After attending the presentation, participants will be able to:
- Describe the function of “cognitive love” in helping patients transform the conflicts which generate their symptoms.
- Explain how interdisciplinary thinking fosters the growth of clinical thinking and practice.
Moderator: Scott Graybow
Each presentation will be followed by a dialogue among the panelists and audience.
