Clinical Seminar on Free Association

Speaker: Dominique Scarfone, MD
Moderator: Matthew Shaw, PhD

The Freudian method of free associations coupled with evenly suspended attention will be discussed. In opposition to the idea that it is obsolete, it will be proposed that it actually represents the most solid base for clinical practice and that it corresponds with contemporary views on the workings of the mind, with a special reference to the theory of trauma.

Learning Objectives:
At the end of the seminar participants should be better able:

  1. To implement the method of free associations in their clinical practice
  2. To discuss the role of free associations in understanding psychic processes
  3. To critically review the role of trauma theory in clinical practice.

Carlson Lecture:
The Sexual Drive for Power

Speaker: Dominique Scarfone, MD
Discussant: Oscar Hills, MD
Moderator: Matthew Shaw, PhD

The question will be asked whether, in view of the concomitant occurrence of sexual abuse and abuse of power, the dichotomy between sexual and aggressive drives is truly warranted. It will be proposed that every sexual abuse is an abuse of power, and every abuse of power is also sexual, if indeed we accept the psychoanalytic conception of “sexual”– which departs from its commonsense version. Accordingly, the notions of “sexual”, “seduction”, “repression” and “drives” will be revisited.

Learning Objectives:

At the end of the lecture participants should be better able:

  1. Distinguish between the commonsense and psychoanalytic meaning of “sexual”.
  2. Reformulate the psychoanalytic notions of “repression” and “drives”, and the relation between them.
  3. Articulate anew the relation between drives and narcissism.
  4. Intervene, from a psychoanalytic standpoint, in the current debates about abusive behavior in our present world, be it sexual or otherwise.
