Overview: Freud’s case of the Wolf-Man (“From the History of an Infantile Neurosis, Freud, 1918) remains of great historical and theoretical importance. It introduced significant issues of the reconstruction of trauma, après coup, the infantile neurosis, the primal scene, and termination. Supplement by his own writing about his life and psychoanalysis, the case of the Wolf-Man is the longest study of an analytic patient in the literature. It continues to be re-interpreted as psychoanalytic thought evolves.
Learning Objectives:
- To further knowledge about interpretation of childhood dreams and nightmares.
- To convey understanding of the primal scene as fantasy and reality.
- Considering effect of pre-oedipal problems on later developmental disorder.

THE PSYCHOANALYST’S AVERSION TO PROOF: NEW IDEAS FOR A
REINVIGORATION OF THE FIELD OF PSYCHOANALYSIS
Presenter: Austin Ratner, MD
Date & Time: Thursday, November 14, 2019 [8:00 PM – 10:00 PM]Contact Hours: 2 (for Licensed Social Workers)
Location: 329 East 62 nd St (Bet. 1 st & 2nd Avenues), NYC 10065
Overview: Dr. Ratner’s new book, The Psychoanalyst’s Aversion to Proof, presents original new ideas for healing the age-old divide between psychoanalysis and the other mental health fields. According to Freud’s theory of public resistance to psychoanalysis, medical institutions and
authorities would never let go of their biases against psychoanalysis, whose pronouncements about painful aspects of human nature were too difficult to hear. Freud and later analysts have appealed to the theory of public resistance to justify their passivity about proving and promoting psychoanalysis. But is that theory correct? Dr. Ratner proposes an alternative hypothesis-proof aversion-to explain the passivity and, hopefully, to help cure it so that psychoanalysis can regain its eminent place
among the mental sciences.
Learning Objectives:
1. Educate psychoanalysts about proof aversion.
2. Discuss Freud’s authoritarianism as a byproduct of his proof aversion, and examine how that authoritarianism relates to the history of AIP.
3. Open a dialogue and answer questions.
Austin Ratner is author of 4 books of fiction and non-fiction. He has written on psychoanalytic topics for newspapers and academic journals, including The New York Times Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, The Psychoanalytic Review, and The Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association. Austin received his M.D. from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and studied psychoanalysis through a mentorship with the American Psychoanalytic Association. His 2009 novel The Jump Artist won the Rohr Prize for Jewish Literature and was praised by Harpers Magazine as a “remarkable work.”
