W158. Chronic Unhealthy Attachments: Why do people seek out and remain in unfulfilling relationships?
This workshop will explore the theory of the “omnipotent child syndrome,” defined as a cluster of emotionally driven behaviors and attachment style patterns. We will discuss the paper written by Dr. Stewart Aledort on the topic and look at case examples of patients who can be high functioning, intelligent, and have sophisticated insight, yet who are plagued by chronically, unhealthy attachments. Despite the unhappy and unfulfilling nature of these relationships, they remain in them.

TUESDAYS
 

W159. Psychoanalysis and Epigenetics: How Our Choices and Environment Can Change Our Genes
“ Is our hereditary fate—bipolar disorder or cancer at age 70, for example—sealed upon the formation of our double helices, or are there things we can do to change it?” a Washington Post journalist recently asked. The new science of epigenetics is studying whether schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, autism, Alzheimer’s disease, asthma, kidney disease, glaucoma, muscular dystrophy, and obesity, may be avoided by manipulating the epigenetic code that tells cells what to do. It proposes that early environmental responsiveness, stress levels, lifestyle choices, family relationships, and even nutrition, can change the destinies of current and future generations. Let’s discuss whether the findings of epigenetics provide support for Freud’s developmental theories.

W164. Listening and Psychoanalysis: What Psychoanalysts hear andWhy They are Listening for It
In this workshop the participants will be introduced to techniques that psychoanalyst use to understand unconscious messages imbedded in a communication. We will think about how a person presents herself or himself: dress, posture, choice of words, and so forth. We will pay particular attention to clues in a person’s narrative to what might be in that person’s unconscious mind.
