SUMMARY:Institute Symposium - The Innate Capacity for Representing Subjective Experience
DESCRIPTION:Register Here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nInstitute Symposium \n\n\n\nWednesday November 5th\, 2025 1pm to 2pm CT \n\n\n\nAnne Erreich : The Innate Capacity for Representing Subjective Experience: TheInfant’s Mind is Neither Primitive nor Prerepresentational. \n\n\n\nThe author cites the prominence of theories that locate serious adult psychopathology inthe preverbal infant’s inability to formulate or represent traumatic experience. The workof two such authors\, H. Levine and D. B. Stern\, is briefly considered. The frame ofreference for this investigation is that clinical and academic research findings are highlyrelevant to psychoanalytic theorizing. It is argued that when such findings areconsidered\, a view of the infant with “primordial and unrepresented” states of mind haslittle evidence to support it. In fact\, research findings summarized herein point to anopposite view: that of the “competent infant\,” one with highly accurate perceptualdiscrimination capacities and an innate ability to register and represent subjective \n\n\n\nexperience in both procedural and declarative memory\, even prenatally. Given theinfant’s competencies\, it seems implausible to hold that representational deficits are atthe heart of serious adult psychopathology\, which is instead seen to be the result ofdefensive maneuvers against unknowable and unspeakable truth rather than theabsence of a preverbal representational capacity. Current research findings seem topose a significant challenge for psychoanalytic theories that espouse “primitive mentalstates”; “unrepresented\,” “unformulated\,” or “unsymbolized” experience; or“nonconscious” states. \n\n\n\nEducational Objectives:  \n\n\n\n\nApply the concept of early representational functioning to therapeutic work with parents\, infants\, or children \n\n\n\nExamine theoretical evidence that challenges the view of the infant mind as primitive or prerepresentational.\n\n\n\nDiscuss the clinical implications of recognizing representational capacities in early infancy \n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nThe presenter has  no relevant financial relationships with ineligible companies to report. \n\n\n\n\n\nParticipants are asked to be aware of the need for privacy and confidentiality throughout the program.
