Western New England Psychoanalytic Institute Receives Transformative
$5 Million Gift
In his discussion, Dr. Goldberg will present a psychosomatic model of dissociation that addresses the ever adjusting mind-body relation. The model highlights the function of hypnoid mechanisms and of altered states of consciousness in facilitating and masking the work of mind-body dissociation. Transient altered states, which enable new and creative forms of mind-body experience in everyday life and in the therapy situation, are contrasted with pathological forms of retreat into alter worlds—rigidly organized, timeless, often inescapable trancelike states of mind-body dislocation. These pathological dissociative structures reshape the life of the mind and of the body, requiring new clinical approaches to these phenomena.
Drs. Brett and Phillips will discuss dissociation within the broader context of its relation to trauma. Given the ongoing psychoanalytic controversies about the nature of dissociation and trauma, they examine current versions of these controversies. Dr. Goldberg’s work is one example of the advances in this area as he provides greater descriptive clarity of clinical manifestations, proposes new technical approaches, and points to a more encompassing and consistent theoretical understanding.
