Narcissism isn’t just a personality type that shows up in advice columns; it’s actually a set of traits classified and studied by psychologists. But what causes it? And can narcissists improve on their negative traits? W. Keith Campbell describes the psychology behind the elevated and sometimes detrimental self-involvement of narcissists.

You are invited to the Joseph Sandler Research Conference 2014 taking place in Frankfurt for the 7th time. Joseph Sandler initiated this conference -- together with other leading psychoanalytic clinicians and researchers. His aim was to build bridges between psychoanalysts working mainly in their private offices and those engaged in various forms of extra-clinical research in academic institutions. Joseph Sandler was President of the International Psychoanalytical Association (IPA), Freud Memorial Professor at University College London (UCL) and at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. He was also senior scientist at the Sigmund Freud Institute in Frankfurt between 1986 and 1990.

The conference this year is devoted to a central topic of the interdisciplinary dialogue between contemporary psychoanalysis and other scientific disciplines: the Unconscious. As is well-known, in Freud´s time psychoanalysis was characterized as "the science of the unconscious mind". In the last hundred years many other disciplines, among them cognitive science, have studied non conscious mental functions. What are the differences between the conceptualisation of "the unconscious" in psychoanalysis and cognitive science? Is the core thesis of psychoanalysis still plausible, namely that unbearable impulses and ideas from the past and present are banished into the unconscious, from where they continue to determine feelings, thoughts and behaviours in unknown ways? And is such an understanding of the unconscious still central for helping patients in contemporary psychotherapy?

These sorts of questions will be discussed by interdisciplinary researchers and practising psychoanalysts and psychotherapists.

We are pleased that such prominent international speakers have accepted our invitations and that we were able to organize this international conference in cooperation with the Sigmund Freud Institute and the IDeA Centre of the LOEWE 'excellence initiative' in the state of Hessen.

We expect a most interesting exchange of psychoanalysts and psychotherapists in dialogue with their interdisciplinary scientific colleagues, as well as with other professionals and the broader public.

Psychoanalysis on the Far Side of the 20th Century

source: SPI — The Society for Psychoanalytic Inquiry    2014年1月10日
Each generation inherits a new past. Today, psychoanalysis is fading fast. Classroom instructors savage it; the latest scientific psychologies reject it; analysts themselves struggle to attract new patients and trainees. Freud remains universally hailed as one of the defining minds of the 20th century, yet nobody knows exactly what this means. Since psychoanalysis defines who we have come to be, how are we to define it? A revolutionary science of mind; a new basis for critical thinking about history and society; a form of therapeutic practice; a new sexual morality; a general theory of human nature; a practice of self-understanding; a dominant medical paradigm; a hermeneutic key to culture; a tendentious, pseudo-scientific, and dangerous ideology. How can psychoanalysis make sense of its tangled history? What made psychoanalysis a powerful articulation of self and society? Was it bound to historical configurations that have since passed? How does psychoanalysis appear the self, society, science, and psychology of today? Can psychoanalytic ideas have comprehensive range and force in the new century? Why should they?
Prudence Gourguechon, Katie Jenness, Thomas Svolos and Gary Walls, Jeremy Cohan (moderator)
Educational Objectives: At the conclusion of the program, participants will be able to: 1) Describe how present day perceptions of the history of psychoanalysis bear on the present and future directions of the field; 2) Analyze contemporary trends within psychoanalysis and their implications for possible future development; 3) Plan for ways to address problematic aspects of contemporary psychoanalytic theory and practice.
