M.D. Since its inception, the interface of psychoanalysis with the arts and the sciences has been a subject of great interest and debate.
Psychoanalysis is both a school of thought and a therapeutic modality.
It has fostered new awareness in both fields and has propelled both fields to new discoveries. As psychoanalysts, we still seek to enhance, from both fields, sciences and the arts, our professional skills and comprehension of what it means to be human. This meeting of The Academy will explore the exciting discoveries of the last two decades through the lens of the synergism between psychoanalysis and the arts and the sciences. Participants will also learn about the interface of art and psychoanalysis in the treatment of the artist. They will hear about psychoanalytic treatment as an art and a science and its implication for the field of psychiatry.
