Dear Colleague,

The 24th Annual Conference on the Psychology of The Self will be held at the Grand Hyatt Hotel on Union Square in San Francisco, November 8-11, 2001. San Francisco is well known to be a jewel of a city, offering the beauty of an outstanding surround in the context of a rich mixture of art, architecture, music, theater, and restaurants. These opportunities for cultural enrichment are contained in an area conducive to covering much of the activities on foot. San Francisco is a walker's paradise, well worthy of a visit all on its own.

Moreover, the conference program promises attractions for the clinician which are entirely worthy of the splendors the city itself offers to the visitor. The theme, Enhancing the Therapeutic Experience, encompasses consideration of a central clinical issue in Self Psychology: How best to enhance the patient's treatment process. We approach this issue from the vantage point of exploring alternative theoretical perspectives in order to reflect on the contributions that are to be found both within different frameworks in self psychology and within frameworks outside of but related to self psychology. Three panels will be presented in which the same case presentation will be responded to by clinicians from different theoretical perspectives. In Panel I, Judith Pickles will present the case, with Jeremy Nahum responding from the perspective of the Boston Research Group on Change, and Howard Bacal responding from the perspective Specificity Theory in Self Psychology. Frank Lachmann will serve as discussant, and Sheldon Meyers will chair the panel. In Panel II, Margaret Black will respond to the case presented by Judith Pickles in Panel I from the Relational Perspective of Stephen Mitchell, and Marian Tolpin will discuss the case from the Self Psychology Forward Edge Perspective. Gianni Nebbiosi will serve as discussant, and Hans-Peter Hartmann will chair the panel. Panel III will include Harold Sampson discussing the case from the Control Mastery Perspective, and Jeffrey Trop discussing the case from a Nonlinear Dynamic Systems Theory Perspective. William Coburn will serve as discussant, with the panel chaired by Bernard Brickman. Finally, Estelle Shane will present a summary of the psychoanalytic perspectives offered, looking at similarities and differences among them.

The Kohut Memorial Lecture, entitled Fifty Years of Psychoanalysis, will be given by Arthur Malin, MD. Prior to the lecture, a special Memory of Stephen Mitchell will be offered by Philip Ringstrom. A wide range of outstanding papers, discussions, workshops, and Meet the Author presentations are offered in three different sections. As always, the Optional Pre-Conference Workshops include many outstanding features, including Studies in Intersubjectivity; Art and Psychoanalysis; Infant and Mother Treatment; Self Psychology and the Work of Stephen Mitchell; Learning Disabilities; and a Panel on Homosexuality. There will be Pre-Conference Courses as well, including Advanced Studies on Transforming Aggression; Introduction to Self Psychology; Group Therapy; and Couples Therapy.

Many colleagues are quite excited by this conference, so that registration at the earliest possible opportunity is advised to secure your place. You will not want to miss this outstanding intellectual feast.

We look forward to seeing you all in San Francisco in November.

Thursday, November 8, 2001

1:00 - 4:15 PM

Workshops A, B, C, D, E and F are offered simultaneously and may be taken before the Pre-Conference Courses. There will be a 15 minute break at 2:45 P.M.

Presenter: Peter J. Radestock, LLB, PhD, PsyD

Co-Leaders: Shelley R. Doctors, PhD, Gianni Nebbiosi, PhD, William J. Coburn, PhD, PsyD, Jeffrey J. Mermelstein, PhD

Optional Workshop B: ART, CREATIVITY AND SELF PSYCHOLOGY

Co-Leaders: George A. Hagman, CSW, Carl T. Rotenberg, MD

Stephen A. Mitchell was one of the most creative and prolific writers in contemporary psychoanalysis. While often critical of classical self psychology, his relationship to those ideas and to contemporary self psychology was complex. In memory of Steve and his love of ideas, this workshop will focus on illuminating the differences and similarities between his perspective and that of classical and contemporary self psychology. We will examine some of Steve's published clinical material as well as several of his illuminating commentaries on cases presented by therapists with a self psychological orientation.

Co-Leaders: James L. Fosshage, PhD, Malcolm Owen Slavin, PhD

1:00 - 4:15 PM

Specific patterns of interactive regulation documented by microanalytic methods of infant research can be applied to clinical interventions with mothers and infants. A brief treatment model is described that includes face-to-face split-screen videotaping and therapeutic observation of the videotape with the parent. By applying the specificity of interactive regulation identified by microanalysis of videotape into the psychodynamic treatment of mother-infant pairs, basic research can be translated into clinical practice. Three treatment cases are presented to illustrate the approach. Videotapes will be used to illustrate various interaction patterns.

Leader: Beatrice Beebe, PhD

Optional Workshop E: THE SELF AND ORIENTATION: The Next Steps

The idea of a workshop on homosexuality and current thinking came from the conversations of Gay and Lesbian clinicians at the Chicago Conference. As you may recall, a similar series of papers was given the last time the conference was in San Francisco. Anticipating the return of the conference to that city, we felt it was time for us to step back and reflect on the current directions and trends of depth psychological work with Gay and Lesbian people. The papers to be presented will address current topics and either formulations or re-formulations of previous thinking. The proposed papers cover internalized homophobia, sexualization, adult development and clinical encounters when orientations are the same or differ.

Co-Leaders: R. Dennis Shelby, PhD, Sharone A. Abramowitz, MD, Karena Franses, LCSW, Amanda E. Kottler, MA, Clin Psych

The relationship between learning disorders and psychological disturbances is complex. In this pre-conference workshop a conceptual framework will be presented that explores the effects of neuropsychological deficits or weaknesses on a child's development, the factors that give rise to a disorder of the self when a child has such deficits or weaknesses, and the modifications of the treatment process when a child has a learning disorder. Case material will be given to illustrate some of these issues.

Chair: Amy H. Eldridge, PhD

Presenters: Joseph Palombo, MA, LCSW, Eva Rass, MA

This course will provide an in-depth overview of basic concepts. We will describe as well how relational, intersubjective and motivational systems theory extend, elaborate and alter self psychology.

This course will demonstrate approaches to therapy with couples that are formed by self psychology, intersubjectivity, and intersubjective systems theory. The course will provide a basic overview of the fluctuating selfobject needs of adult partners and present a dynamic systems view of relationships that enables clinicians to understand the figure/ground relationship between present day problems and genetic material. Specific topics discussed will include creating a more optimal selfobject milieu, the empathic listening stance, dealing with trauma and applying infant research to couples. The course will make extensive use of videotaped case material and will include small group discussions of participants' cases.

Important Announcement About Our Mailings

This may be the only announcement you will receive about the 2001 Annual International Conference on The Psychology of The Self.

Your name may be on several proprietary mailing lists which we are not allowed to merge with our own list to eliminate duplicate mailings.

At the conclusion of this conference, participants will be able to:

1. Understand and describe a variety of psychoanalytic perspectives, including The Boston Research Group on Change Perspective, The Self Psychology Specificity Theory, The Relational Perspective of Stephen Mitchell, The Self Psychology Forward Edge Perspective, The Control Mastery Perspective, and a Nonlinear Dynamic Systems Theory Perspective;

2. Apply this knowledge and understanding to their clinical work;

3. Describe the similarities and differences among these varying psychoanalytic perspectives;

4. Understand the contributions each of these makes to Self Psychology;

5. Identify ways in which some of these perspectives contradict the concepts embodied in Self Psychology, and alternatively, what understandings Self Psychology has to offer this variety of psychoanalytic perspectives.

This conference is presented by the International Council for Psychoanalytic Self Psychology and sponsored by the Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis, Los Angeles.
