SUMMARY:CE: "Untangling: What Patients Can Tell Analysts About Psychoanalysis" – Joan Peters
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by\nThe WILA Alumni Association\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				PROGRAM DESCRIPTION\nWhat if the most important perspective in psychoanalysis is the one we rarely hear? Lay patients—those without theoretical training or professional community—make up the vast majority of analysands\, yet their authentic voices remain largely absent from our field’s discourse. Unlike analyst-patients who can contextualize their experience through theory and collegial exchange\, lay patients navigate analysis without a map. Their accounts offer raw\, unfiltered insights into what truly matters in the therapeutic encounter—insights with the potential to transform our understanding of the analytic process. \nThis talk invites attendees to join a pioneering project exploring the place and value of patient narrative in psychoanalytic discourse. Together we’ll consider excerpts from Joan K. Peters’ own memoir Untangling: A Memoir of Psychoanalysis\, alongside narratives she is collecting for a forthcoming special issue of Psychoanalytic Inquiry on The Patient Experience. The unique data you’ll hear marks a striking departure from the “nightmare analyst” novels of popular culture—which we’ll briefly review—as well as the handful of accounts written by analysts in the early years of the profession. \nBy the end of the discussion\, we will reflect on whether granting patients their own voice can deepen our understanding of the intersubjective relationship emphasized by Winnicott\, Kohut\, and others\, and advance the vision of true “two-person therapy” articulated by Jay Greenberg and Stephen Mitchell in The Relational Revolution. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				LEARNING OBJECTIVES\nUpon completion of the program participants should be able to: \n\nUtilize patient narratives to inform their practice and deepen their connections with theirpatients.\nFormulate clearer ideas about what matters to patients most during an analysis\, whatbuilds trust\, what can weaken it.\nDiscuss the challenges for patients undergoing analysis in the absence of an analyticcommunity or theoretical foundation that most candidate/analysts have.\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				PRESENTER\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					JOAN K.
