YEAR LONG PROGRAMS
WHEN THE BODY SPEAKS: EXPLORING THE PSYCHE-SOMA
Inside Out: The Skin Ego and its Representations
Psychoanalysis describes the movement from primitive sensorimotor states towards the world of phantasies, representations, drives and meaning.
It charts the ways in which body based experiences coalesce and are distilled into psychical phenomena.
The development of a sustainable mental life takes place as an analogue to the body’s movement from damp and abject to clean and dry, from piecemeal confusion to that of the boundaried coherence of a skin ego with sphincters that keep the insides in and outsides out.
We will explore this process using work by Bick, Winnicott, Tustin and others.

The Mental Structure of Addiction
This clinical course proposes that there is a particular psychic structure underlying addiction.
We will examine this idea from the perspective of British Object Relations, with emphasis on writers influenced by Melanie Klein and Wilfred Bion.
We will look at how psychic structure of addiction compares with perverse psychic organizations, such as narcissism and masochism.

The Body and Somatic Illness
This course is designed to examine concepts in contemporary psychoanalytic thinking about the mind body continuum as it applies to both patients and therapists.
First, we will consider the ways in which chronic illnesses, namely diabetes and irritable bowel syndrome, are recruited to a regulate attachment.
Hypochondriasis and other defenses commonly encountered in treating somatizing patients will be addressed.
Finally, we’ll take up the impact of therapist’s own body as a therapeutic object.

Relational Views of the Body
This course will examine the way Relational theorists look at the body as a central, but interpersonally mediated, co-construction that is rooted in early infant-parent interactions.
During the course of treatment, the mind/body matrix is often renegotiated. In exploring such writers as Aron and Harris, we will examine how struggling with issues such as gender and the body will elucidate Relational Theory’s understanding of the tension in the mind/body matrix.

Psychoanalytic Approaches to Eating Disorders
This course will help clinicians identify, understand, and intervene in the powerful defensive organizations that patients with eating disorders bring to treatment.
Readings drawn from a range of theoretical perspectives will help explore aspects of psychic structure and functioning such as the emergence of an ego-destructive superego, attacks on the paternal function, tendency towards fusion, and uses of projective identification.
A focus on clinical material will illustrate the difficulties in reaching patients who risk life-threatening deprivation, while maintaining illusions of safety and independence.

French Perspectives
French analysts, Marty, De Muzan, McDougall, Resnik, Fedida, Nasio, and many others, write of unspeakable, “undreamable”, entombed psychic experiences that “speak” only through the body.
We will read some of these writers closely and slowly, consider ways they influence contemporary British and American analysts, and conclude with a French turn, a “return” to Freud’s early writings on hysteria, critically examining them in light of what we have learned in the course throughout the year.

SATURDAY PANELS & SEMINARS
BOLLYWOOD MEETS PSYCHOANALYSIS: Awārā (The Tramp)
This event is the first in an occasional series The Diasporic Imagination in Psychoanalysis. Sponsored by the San Francisco Psychoanalytic Center Extension Division, the series is designed to facilitate thinking about the way movement, displacement and translation structure psychoanalytic theory and practice.
Raj Kapoor made a in 1951, just four years after Indian independence and the partition between India and Pakistan, a time of intense strife and division in Indian society. Although relatively unknown in the United States and Europe, the film was a smash hit throughout Asia and most of the world beyond. The film tells the story of a love affair between Raj (Kapoor) and Rita (Nargis) and the rift of caste and religious differences that lie between them. A series of mistaken identities leaves Raj, the son of a judge, homeless and fallen from grace. Growing up on the streets of Bombay, Raj, the ittle man?or ramp?battles he system and the prejudices of the father who disowned him but is redeemed only when he accepts Rita love. In the words of film historian Susmita Chakavarty, the romance strains to the mythical as the film Oedipal triangles fuel psychological growth and healing.
We are pleased to present a conversation between Anu Prabhala Kapse of the Film Studies Program in the Department of Rhetoric at UC Berkeley and Jed Sekoff, faculty member of the San Francisco Psychoanalytic Center.

Dr. Sekoff is a clinical psychoanalyst and author of numerous papers including lue Velvet: The Surface of Suffering and he Undead: Necromancy and the Inner World.
