“ Paul Gray’s ideas have had a profound effect on the world, stirring up enormous interest and controversy about the central, most necessary part of technique, which had been one of the least discussed and one of the least well-conceptualized aspects of psychoanalysis: how the analyst listens.

“Dr. Gray’s crucial ideas include adjusting the analyst’s perceptual focus so as to observe data limited essentially to inside the analytic situation. He stresses that analysts need to diminish as much as possible the use of suggestion and persuasion. His approach is in the interest of improving the patients’ capacities for eventual self analysis. ” -Marianne Goldberger, M.D.

FORUM Saturday, April 25, 5:00-6:30pm 1.5 CME/CE Credits Refreshments: 4:30-5:00pm Utilizing Prenatal Maternal Defense Mechanisms as Predictors of Attachment Security and Social/Emotional CompetenceThe concept of defense mechanisms has withstood the test of time providing essential insights into normal development, adaptation and psychopathology. Pregnancy can be a significant stressor for mothers. Their ability to cope adaptively, consciously and unconsciously with stress may affect a mother’s ability to support her child’s psychological development. Empirical support for the validity and clinical significance of defenses led to the development of the DSM-IV Defensive Functioning Scale. This Forum will explore the impact that mothers’ defenses, as assessed by the DFS during pregnancy, have on attachment security, social/emotional competence, and behavioral problems of their children at ages 1 and 2 years.Moderator, Silvia Bell, Ph.D., Training and Supervising Analyst at the Baltimore Washington Center for Psycotherapy and Psychoanalysis, will lead audience discussion on the value of these research findings for clinical thinking and techniques in psychoanalysis and psychodynamic psychotherapy.

COLLOQUIUM Sunday, April 26; 10:00am-12:00pm2.0 CME/CE Credits Continental Breakfast: 9:30-10:00am

A Systematic Case Study of Psychoanalysis of Avoidant PersonalityCase studies and case presentations are core vehicles for the development and transmission of psychoanalytic theory and techniques. This case study is based on data from a male patient with Avoidant Personality Disorder whose 5-year psychoanalysis was systematically studied through taping of 25 sessions at predetermined intervals and post-treatment. The process of engaging the patient and obtaining consent will be discussed. Process measures will demonstrate adherence to psychoana-lytic technique as well as times when more eclectic approaches occurred. Outcome measures will allow for the examination of overall functioning and of defense maturation. The results demonstrate changes consistent with analytic theory including regressions as well as improvement.Moderator, James Hutchinson, M.D., Baltimore Washington Institute graduate in Adult and Child and Adolescent Psycho- analysis, will provide a brief recollection of Paul Gray’s interest in the use of transcribed psychoanalytic sessions to allow an empirical test of his theories.
