This presentation will provide a theoretical framework that integrates cultural competence as a core emphasis of psychoanalytic psychotherapy. A historical overview of both psychoanalytic neglect and contributions to understandings of sociocultural context, and specific contemporary psychoanalytic approaches to culturally informed practice, such as the recognition of social oppression and the complexity of cultural identifications, will be discussed.

In this talk, Mitchell Wilson, MD, considers the concept and economic fact of property in relation to the training and practice of psychoanalysts. The principle of ownership, and the legal system that has been built up around it ("private property") has broad influences, from the physical places in which we practice to the words we utter in conversation with patients. Through the lens of property, issues of race and class as they relate to psychoanalytic work can be more easily discerned.

Psychoanalytic therapy is an evidence-based treatment. Effect sizes are as large as those of other therapies that are actively promoted as “empirically supported” and “evidence-based,” and patients who receive psychoanalytic therapy not only maintain therapeutic gains but continue improving after treatment ends. Research also shows that other forms of therapy may be effective largely because the more skilled practitioners incorporate (often unacknowledged) psychodynamic methods.

The presentation is based on the recently published book entitled Toward a Unified Psychoanalytic Theory: Foundation in a Revised and Expanded Ego Psychology. The main themes of the presentation are: demonstrating that revised and expanded ego psychotherapy constitutes the strongest foundation for (1) a unified psychoanalytic theory; (2) is best able to integrate relevant findings from other disciplines; (3) provides a more accurate account of the nature of psychopathology; (4) serves to better identify the nature of positive therapeutic outcome.

David Celani, PhD, presents an overview of Fairbairn's model with an emphasis on three aspects of his model. First he describes Fairbairn's sensitive and nuanced understanding of the emotional vulnerability of children to rejection of their needs by his/her caregiver. The child's dependency is so intense that any lived experiences of indifference or rejection are intolerable for his/ her sense of security, and are dissociated and held in the unconscious.

A longstanding clinical conviction is that people with anxiety disorders must directly confront their feared object or situation in order to reduce fear of it. This dogma is the basis of exposure therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapies. Challenging this belief, Dr.
