Scientific Meeting: Nothing Comes from Nothing: Failed Birth as a Primitive State Presenter: Francisco Gonzalez, M.D.; Discussant: Shelley Alhanati, Ph.D. 3 CE Credits CPMC, Pacific Campus, Enright Room, 3333 Buchanan Street, San Francisco Saturday, October 17, 2009 10 AM - 1 PM free - $15* Course Overview Dr. Gonzalez will examine the psychic organization of certain primitive states. Focusing on clinical work, he lays out a kind of birth trauma, one in which birth has never really happened, at least as a psychological event that depicts movement from one state into a fundamentally different, higher order of psychological development. The origins of this process can be seen as a severely anxious and overwhelmed parent projects these emotions into the child, who acts as a proto-metabolizer of emotion. The chld’s protective false self, erected to defend against cumulative trauma, is instead appropriated by the ill-equipped mother. Clinical material is presented to illustrate the dilemmas of the treatment, which requires the therapist to live out the patient’s own experience of being evacuated in order to create the kind of potential space that might allow room for a psychic birth.
