In order to receive your credit for attending\, follow the instructions that are sent prior to the event.\n  \nABOUT THIS PRESENTATION\nMemoirs are an unexplored and fruitful way to understand how patients experience therapy\, and in particular\, psychoanalysis.  Drawing from diverse sources\, Dr. Jurist argues that some memoirists see therapy as transformative; others regard it equivocally or even negatively. He also reflects on how beliefs about therapy have changed from the post-war era to the present. The memoirists whom he addresses are Lucy Freeman\, Rachel Reiland\, Alison Bechdel\, Melissa Febos\, Hua Hsu\, Stephanie Foo\, and Joan Peters.\n\n\nABOUT OUR SPEAKER\nElliot Jurist\, PhD\, PhD\, is Professor of Psychology and Philosophy at the Graduate Center and The City College of New York\, CUNY.  From 2004-2013\, he served as the Director of the Clinical Psychology Doctoral Program at CUNY. From 2008-2018\, he was the Editor of Psychoanalytic Psychology\, the journal of Division 39 of the APA. He is also the editor of a book series\, Psychoanalysis and Psychological Science\, from Guilford Publications\, and author of a book in the series\, Minding Emotions: Cultivating Mentalization in Psychotherapy\, from the same publisher (the book has been translated into Italian\, Chinese and Spanish\, and was named best theoretical book in 2019 by the American Board and Academy of Psychoanalysis).  He is the author of Beyond Hegel and Nietzsche: Philosophy\, Culture and Agency (MIT Press\, 2000) and co-author with Peter Fonagy\, George Gergely and Mary Target of Affect Regulation\, Mentalization and the Development of the Self (Other Press\, 2002)\, the latter of which has been translated into five languages and won two book prizes.  He is also the co-editor of Mind to Mind: Infant Research\, Neuroscience\, and Psychoanalysis (Other Press\, 2008).  His research interests concern mentalization and the role of emotions and emotion regulation in psychotherapy.  In 2014\, he received the Scholarship Award from Division 39 of the APA\, and in 2024\, he was given the Leadership award from the same organization.  Recently\, he is co-author with Norka Malberg\, Jordan Bate and Mark Dangerfield of Working with Parents Across the Lifespan: A Mentalization-Informed Approach (APA Publications\, 2023).  Along with his wife and two children\, he lives with two ancient\, insubordinate dachshunds\, one of whom smiles.\n\n  \n\nABOUT THIS SERIES\nFrom its very beginnings\, psychoanalysis has existed at the intersection of science and the humanities. In the face of increasing pressures from evidence-based practice and medicalization\, what can psychoanalysis learn from the humanities? Collectively\, our speakers represent the leading edge in humanities and the arts and bring a diverse array of perspectives to bear. These talks promise to illustrate the manifest and often overlooked links between psychoanalysis and the humanities and provide a unique opportunity for interdisciplinary learning and dialogue.\nAll speakers will present their talks in person. We encourage everyone who can\, to attend in person and continue the tradition of meeting together at the Institute. For those who are unable to join in person\, we offer a real-time stream\, to reach beyond New York to a broader audience.\n  \nThis series is presented at no charge to its audience. Please consider making a donation to The Psychoanalytic Society when registering.\n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \nOverall objectives of this colloquium series: \n\nDescribe the many interactions between the humanities and psychoanalysis.\nExplain how psychoanalytic practice can benefit from the insights of the humanities.\n\nLEARNING OBJECTIVES THIS PRESENTATION: \n\nDescribe the role of memoir for understanding human experience.\nExplain how memoir relates to self-reflection and psychoanalytic learning.
