Within emptiness\, enlightenment occurs\, and enlightenment\, in turn\, deepens the understanding of emptiness. Similarly\, in Judaism\, there are also descriptions of void or emptiness. In psychoanalysis\, Freud’s concepts of the mirror\, free association\, and evenly floating attention\, as well as Bion’s later notion of “No memory\, No desire\,” all contain ideas resonant with emptiness. This lecture aims to explore the relationship between emptiness and transformation in the clinical practice of psychoanalysis. \n\n\n\nApproximate breakdown of time: \n\n\n\nFirst Hour: presentationSecond Hour: discussion with audience \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives \n\n\n\nAfter attending this session\, participants should be able to: \n\n\n\n\nDescribe one way one of these religions (Buddhism\, Daoism\, Confucianism for Judaism) define emptiness.\n\n\n\nDescribe how one of Freud’s concepts ( mirroring\, free association or evenly floating attention) or Bion’s concept of “No memory No desire” contain ideas resonant with emptiness.\n\n\n\nDescribe how emptiness and transformation can be seen in the clinical practice of psychoanalysis.\n\n\n\n\nContinuing Education Credits are offered exclusively to Society members in all membership categories and those intending to join. \n\n\n\nThe presenter\, Eric Jiang\, and the organizer\, Lisa Karaitis\, PsyD\, have no relevant financial relationships with ineligible companies to report. \n\n\n\nParticipants are asked to be aware of the need for privacy and confidentiality throughout the program. \n\n\n\nACCME Accreditation Statement: This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the accreditation requirements and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through the joint providership of American Psychoanalytic Association (APsA) and the Chicago Psychoanalytic Society.
