8:15am – 9:15am:  “What’s Going On: Personal and Racial Trauma in the Music of Marvin Gaye”

Summary:   Psychoanalysis is uniquely qualified, as a theoretical perspective, to understand how personal and sociocultural factors interact in personality development, both healthy and problematic. The great singer, songwriter, and musician Marvin Gaye provides a compelling and revealing case study for the interaction of personal and racial traumas in both art and personal adaptation.  Gaye’s masterpiece, What’s Going On, shows us how the personal interacts with the sociocultural not only in artistic creativity and production but also in broader social developments like the Black Lives Matter movement.  It also helps psychoanalytically oriented clinicians to understand how these themes reveal themselves in an individual case.  

Objectives: Upon completion of the program, the participant will be able to:

1.   To describe personal and racial trauma in the life of Marvin Gaye

2.   To describe how Marvin Gaye’s personal and racial traumas influenced his landmark record album, What’s Going On.

                        ******

9:30am – 12:30pm: “Research in Psychoanalysis: Not an oxymoron and why it matters”

Summary: At a time when psychoanalysis is considered to be in decline and is routinely dismissed by psychology and psychiatry departments, psychoanalytic research has never been more vital, even if also often ignored by psychoanalytic clinicians. Psychoanalysis should be seen as a hybrid discipline, with elements of hermeneutics, since it pertains fundamentally to unconscious meanings, and of the empirical sciences, since it is possible to study in an empirically rigorous way the origins and consequences of these unconscious meanings. An integration of hermeneutic and scientific aspects of psychoanalysis will be presented, along with implications of scientific research for psychoanalytic theory and practice.

Objectives: Upon completion of the program the participant will be able to:

1.     To describe hermeneutic and scientific aspects of psychoanalysis.

2.     To describe implications of empirical research for psychoanalytic theory.
