COLLOQUIUM

Mutative Action:
From Insight to Productive Use of Uncomfortable Countertransference Experience

IRWIN HIRSCH, PhD

with discussants

CHAIM BROMBERG, PhD and VERONICA CSILLAG, LCSW

The relative value of insight as a mutative factor in psychoanalysis has long been a central question in the literature. Most analysts of this generation believe that although insight has clear value, it isn’t normally sufficient to produce structural change in most patients. Alternatively, the tide has shifted strongly to the view that the analytic relationship per se, has more explanatory power in understanding why patients change. Irwin Hirsch, PhD, past director and one of the founders of Manhattan Institute for Psychoanalysis, will attempt to deconstruct what elements of the analytic relationship might have the most mutative power. His argument reflects the belief that analysts’ productive use of uncomfortable counter-transference experience is key to ideal therapeutic outcome, whereas failure to productively use countertransference experience, usually experience that is consciously recognized by the analyst, is the primary factor in contributing to compromised or failed analyses. His presentation will be followed by a discussion with Manhattan Institute’s current co-directors, Chaim Bromberg, PhD and Veronica Csillag, LCSW.
