Knowing What Psychoanalysts Do and Doing What Psychoanalysts KnowPresented by David Tuckett, PhD
Registration Fee: $50*
*Free admission and CE/CME credits for PCC members, LDC staff and board, full-time students with ID, and trainees in the Departments of Social Work, Psychology, Psychiatry, and Mental Health Counseling.
Dr. David Tuckett will discuss core issues for psychoanalysts that emerge from the research presented in his latest book,* including: What is 'Unconscious' in a session? Can a psychoanalyst be a new relational object? What is a transference interpretation and what is its purpose? Why is countertransference at the core? Where does psychoanalytic transformation come from? He will make use of the four styles of psychoanalytic work identified by his group as "dramatic dialogue," "cinema," "theater," and "immersive theater."

David Tuckett, PhD, is a distinguished fellow and training and supervising analyst at the British Psychoanalytic Society and emeritus professor of Decision-Making at University College London (UCL). He is a practicing psychoanalyst as well as a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and was the founding editor of the New Library of Psychoanalysis series. He has served as editor in chief of the International Journal of Psychoanalysis, president of the European Psychoanalytic Federation, board member of the International Psychoanalytic Association (IPA), and chair of the Comparative Clinical Methods (CCM) Working Party.
Dr. Tuckett has contributed books and journal articles in the fields of medical sociology, economics, and cognitive science and developed and published articles in leading journals on conviction narrative theory—a theory of choice under uncertainty, which combines psychoanalytic, neuroscientific, sociological, and economic insights to understand decision making under uncertainty and its wider effects on society, such as in the creation of financial crises. He gave a TED lecture at the University of Warwick and has spoken at significant policy-making events such as the Davos Forum, as well as published on monetary and financial stability policy in the staff working papers series of the Bank of England. He has twice received the Sigourney Award for contributions to psychoanalysis.
After this presentation, participants will be able to:
1. Highlight the primary difference between transference conceived as "cinema" and "theater."
2. Elaborate precisely "Freud's procedure" for inferring unconscious beliefs.
3. Define three levels of unconscious inference and apply them to their next session.
4. Discuss the difficulties of achieving a "new object relationship" with a patient.
This program is intended for psychologists, psychiatrists, clinical social workers, licensed professional counselors, and other clinicians or interested academics at the intermediate to advanced levels.
