Program Overview Beginning with Freud's seduction theory, trauma in one form or another has been a focus of concern for those who work with people who suffer. In putting together a patient's narrative, clinicians may wonder whether the pain and dysfunction are the result of interactions or events that might be called traumatic. The baby’s need for nuanced attunement and the mother's need for support and containment create a fragile matrix that can go awry when emotional or environmental pressure becomes too much. What may seem like a good enough childhood may contain cumulative traumatic elements that affect the capacity of any individual to live an emotionally creative and connected life. Psychoanalytic theory provides a rich collection of ideas that can form a framework for understanding primitive states of mind that could be the consequence of early trauma that did not allow for more resilient internal structures to develop. With no strong sense of self on which to build, an individual may fall victim to recurring versions of the earlier assault, thereby strengthening the rigid relational and mental patterns that cause so many functional problems. In this yearlong course, Dr. Sue Saperstein begins with RE-Viewing Trauma She discusses the original trauma theory, from Freud to tracing the socio-cultural movement of trauma theory that led to the diagnosis of PTSD. The contemporary psychoanalytic view of trauma holds varied developmental perspectives that contribute in diverse ways to a psychosomatic understanding of the impact of trauma. Clinical issues will focus on the relational disturbances when engaged in the transference/countertransference experience-treating trauma. Dr. Robert Carrere, in his section Caring and Dread in the Treatment of the Traumatized Self, will focus primarily on the clinical aspects of treating trauma. Selective theoretical formulations will be addressed for the purpose of assisting the clinician with ideas related to working with the clinical realities of trauma. A developmental approach will facilitate the understanding of trauma through the work of Winnicott and others. Participants will expand their understanding of trauma through actual stories, as well as how an analytic approach can facilitate growth, or re-traumatize a patient. Section three, Trauma and Dissociation, Dr. Annie Sweetnam. We will explore the relationship between trauma and psychosomatic dissociation, comparing dissociation with repression and splitting. We’ll look at clinical work with dissociation, emphasizing non-symbolized experience and changing states of consciousness. The cultural context of dissociated states will also be discussed. In the final segment, Social and Cultural Issues in Trauma, Dr. Stephen Hartman will explore with participants how trauma registers in matters of gender, sexuality, class, and race. We will turn to contemporary psychoanalytic writers who have addressed the insidious ways that social and cultural forces infiltrate psychic life with traumatic effects that are enacted in the transference.
