About:


The A K Rice Institute was established in 1970 as a nonprofit educational institution. Its mission is to further the study of groups and organizations using the principles and tradition developed at the Centre for Applied Social Research of the Tavistock Insitute of Human Relations in London, England. Using evolving theories of dynamic psychology and open systems, the Institute aims to promote the understanding of group and organizational processes which influence work within institutions. Committed to the belief that this learning is best accomplished experientially, the A K Rice Institute sponsors group relations conferences as well as a biennial scientific meeting and training workshops. It also publishes selected works in the group relations field.

The Institute consists of eight regional Centers in the United States with its National Office located in Jupiter, Florida. It also maintains informal relationships with similar organizations in Europe, the Middle East, Australia, and Asia, and it co-sponsored the First International Symposium held at Oxford University, England in 1988.

Conferences, based on the open systems concept of organizational life, are designed to enhance individuals' awareness of group and organizational processes and of their participation in them. Emphasis is placed on issues of authority, responsibility, leadership, and followership. In the past, conference membership has included people from business, govenment, law, health care, education, trade unions, social and community services, the military, religion, and the media. Such conferences have proven useful for people in positions of authority or preparing for such positions.

About:


Multidisciplinary treatment teams in this psychodynamically oriented private hospital, residence and clinic, not-for-profit since 1919, follow their patients continuously through each treatment setting. The overall approach is based on findings [Riggs-Yale collaborative study, 1994, reviewed in the Am J Psychiatry, April, 1996] that "treatment-resistant" patient do better with a definitive course of therapy than with multiple short-term stays.

Beyond the Bedrock: Reaching Toward the End of Analysis
( Consult the meeting's Web pages.)

November 6, 2009

Stockbridge, MA

Event sponsored by: Austen Riggs Center, Erikson Institute for Education and Research


The presenter will discuss Jacques Lacan's project to expand upon Freud's seminal idea on termination that no psychoanalytic cure is completed unless the death drive is apprehended behind any symptom formation. In Freud's paper, Analysis Terminable, Interminable (1937), Freud emphatically states, that no analysis can be successfully finished unless one has "uncovered what lay behind the id and set an end to the constant swing backward and forward between a piece of id-analysis and a piece of ego-analysis." Adhering to Freud's cautionary warning that the force of the life and death drive struggle cannot be ignored, Lacan develops the theory that the subject must cross the plane of identification in order to apprehend the fantasm that s/he has constructed in order to respond to the fundamental question of what the Other wants from me. The presenter will describe how each subject defines itself in this fundamental question to the Other, and how this response to the Other shapes the organizing unconscious fantasm of each subject.

Objectives:

  • Define the importance of analyzing the life and death drive in any symptom formation
  • Identify what it means in a Lacanian analysis "to pass the plane of identification" and to apprehend the powerful force of the unconscious fantasm upon the psyche
  • Identify the subject's identification with his/her own symptom at the end of an analysis

Presenter: Jeanne Wolff Bernstein, PhD, Past president, Supervising and Personal Analyst and Faculty Member, Psychoanalytic Institute of Northern California [PINC]; Faculty, Northern Society of Psychoanalytic Psychology [NCSPP] ; Faculty, Lutecium, San Francisco; Faculty, Sigmund Freud University, Vienna, Austria.

There are up to 2 continuing education credit hours available for

The Structural Clinic of Lacan
"Neurosis, Perversion, and Psychosis"

(Please click above for the meeting's Web pages.)

November 7, 2009

Stockbridge, MA

Sponsor: Austen Riggs Center, Erikson Institute for Education and Research


Returning to Freud’s 1896 draft K in which hysteria is described as a neurosis based on insufficient pleasure, obsession as a neurosis based on excessive, premature pleasure, and paranoia is depicted as the result of confused, excessive unpleasure, Jacques Lacan re-classifies these three diagnostic structures in terms of the subject’s relationship to the phallic function. With the addition of the fourth structure of perversion, Lacan provides a set of basic clinical structural organizations through which he shows how the subject organizes his desire in response to the fundamental question of what the Other wants from him. This workshop will study Lacan’s four clinical structures in more detail and also discuss the role jouissance plays in the formation of symptoms.

Objectives:

  • Describe the two neurotic structures of hysteria and obsession
  • Formulate the psychotic structure and what Lacan means by the foreclosure of the paternal metaphor
  • Describe the perverse structure and how perversion acts as the negative of neurosis

Presenter: Jeanne Wolff Bernstein, PhD, Past president, Supervising and Personal Analyst and Faculty Member, Psychoanalytic Institute of Northern California [PINC]; Faculty, Northern Society of Psychoanalytic Psychology [NCSPP] ; Faculty, Lutecium, San Francisco; Faculty, Sigmund Freud University, Vienna, Austria.

"Life is Beautiful".

This film follows a Jewish father and son’s internment in a Nazi concentration camp during WWII. Guido uses his colorful, comedic imagination to help his young son emotionally and physically survive the horrific traumas of life in the Nazi death camp. By turning the brutal truth of the camp's deadly intent into a simple game, Guido protects his beloved son from the unthinkable. Paternal love, imagination, and humor conquer one of the great evils of world history.

Eric Peters, PhD (discussant).

"Slumdog Millionaire".

A modern fairy tale, the movie tells the story of Jamal's struggle to survive and reclaim lost love through a series of flashbacks illustrating how the events of his life, both horrific and exhilarating, have given him the knowledge that accounts for his wildly improbable winning streak on India's most popular television game show. Born into brutal poverty and suffering tragic losses, Jamal comes to embrace his own destiny in what the New York Times calls, "One of the most upbeat stories about living in hell imaginable."

Lee Damsky, Ph.D.(discussant).
