Scabbiolo’s Creative Psychoanalytic Process suggests that at the heart of transition, transformation, and creativity in analysis is a creative sensation, an innate impulse that, when fostered and allowed to thrive, changes both patient and analyst. This impulse allows for both individuals, and their internal objects, to develop the freedom to create. Scabbiolo suggests that this creative sensation is present in the analytic process from the very beginning and can be found in fields of dreams, transference and countertransference, artwork, children’s play, and events.

This Scientific Meeting is the second in a series NPSI is offering this spring for those interested in our Twelfth International Evolving British Object Relations Conference on "The Body as Psychoanalytic Object: Clinical Applications from Winnicott to Bion and Beyond" (October 12-14, 2018). Rather than a typical scientific presentation, this meeting will function as a study group oriented to the conference theme. Thus, everyone should come prepared to engage in a discussion of the readings.

“Alternative truth” is a newly formed phrase. It is as old a reality as the Declaration of Independence.

SPSI ART SHOW

I will describe my work with a long-term patient whose religious faith underwent a number of significant changes across the years of our work together. I will try to show how her faith functioned in her internal world at the beginning of our work, how it developed across time and especially how she viewed her faith when we stopped.
