Northrop Frye Hall, University of Toronto,
10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Dr. Philip Bromberg
NAKED ON THE ROYAL ROAD: DISSOCIATION AND THE PARADOX OF PRIVACY
For many years Philip Bromberg's writings have explored the nature of the therapeutic action of psychoanalysis as process-based rather than content-based, and has developed the clinical implications of working with dissociative processes as a major factor in accounting for why patients improve and why they don’t. He offers the view working with dissociation as an inherent part of the analytic process creates a space and a spirit where new and spontaneously fresh ways of thinking and being can emerge. Further, it gives an analyst a different lens through which to look at and engage seemingly intractable clinical phenomena such as “resistance to interpretation” and so-called therapeutic impasses. Dr. Bromberg is a Training and Supervising Analyst and Faculty member of the William Alanson White Psychoanalytic Institute, and Clinical Professor of Psychology at the New York University Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis. He is Emeritus Co-Editor-in-Chief of Contemporary Psychoanalysis and an Editorial Board member of Psychoanalytic Dialogues, Journal of the American Academy of Psychoanalysis, and Psychoanalytic Inquiry. In addition to his numerous journal articles, Dr. Bromberg is most widely recognized as author of Standing in the Spaces: Essays on Clinical Process, Trauma, and Dissociation (1998), and Awakening the Dreamer: Clinical Journeys (2006), both volumes published by The Analytic Press. A new book currently in progress is expected to be released by the end of 2010.
