The Chicago Institute for Psychoanalysis presents

ONGOING STRUGGLES AND THE SEARCH FOR RESOLUTION

Two Saturday Morning Panels

February 9 and May 17, 2008

At one time, psychoanalysis confronted problems that appeared to be more or less resolvable. Today, however, it faces complex issues that seem to question rather than accommodate such a viewpoint. Taking this dilemma as its cue, the Chicago Institute for Psychoanalysis has created two Saturday morning panels designed to examine ongoing struggles as they apply to difficult clinical issues. These issues resist the concept of resolution and instead represent life-long battles that seem to challenge and defy our desire for closure.

Panel One - RELIGION AND PSYCHOTHERAPY: COLLABORATION OR CONFLICT?

Co-sponsored with the Center for Religion and Psychotherapy of Chicago

Saturday, February 9, 2008
9:00 am to Noon

This panel will discuss how and why religion moved into the realm of psychotherapy from a historical point of view. It will also examine two competing perspectives: the viewpoint that religion and psychotherapy are two separate and distinct enterprises that should not intermingle, and the viewpoint that religion and psychotherapy should be, and in many respects have been, integrated.

Participants:

Moderator: Catherine Burris-Schnur, D.Min., L.C.P.C.

Panel Two - CHRONIC ILLNESS: MISFORTUNE OR OPPORTUNITY?

Co-sponsored with the Institute for Clinical Social Work

Saturday, May 17, 2008
9:00 am to Noon

This panel will examine a variety of chronic illnesses and explore how one reorganizes the self in light of his or her illness, recognizing limitations and discovering unforeseen benefits.

Participants:

Moderator: David M. Terman, M.D.

Location: Room 5006 (5th floor), 122 South Michigan Avenue (Michigan and Adams), Downtown Chicago.

Registration fee: $60.00 per panel or $100.00 for the entire series. Reserve for both panels and guarantee a seat. Registration fee includes bagels and coffee/tea.
