Presenter: Judy L. Kantrowitz, Ph.D.      Discussant: Ann Kaplan, Ph.D.

Judy L. Kantrowitz, Ph.D. is Training and Supervising Analyst at the Boston Psychoanalytic Institute and Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.  She authored The Patient’s Impact on the Analyst (Hillsdale NJ: The Analytic Press, 1996), Writing about Patients: Responsibilities, Risks, and Ramifications (New York: Other Press, 2006), and papers on the patient-analyst match and the outcome of psychoanalysis.  Dr. Kantrowitz’s most recent honors include her selection as the American Psychoanalytic Association’s 2009 Traveling Woman Scholar, as Plenary Speaker of the American Psychoanalytic Association’s 2009 Winter Meeting, and as the 2009 recipient of Spitz (Cincinnati Psychoanalytic Institute) and Herman Selinsky (Miami Psychoanalytic Institute) lectureships.  She has served three terms on the Editorial Board of the Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association and currently is on the Editorial Board of The Psychoanalytic Quarterly.  

Ann Kaplan, Ph.D. is a Clinical Psychologist and Adult and Child Psychoanalyst on the Faculty of the Chicago Institute for Psychoanalysis.  She trained in London at the Tavistock Clinic and at the Chicago Institute for Psychoanalysis.  Her primary interests and teaching commitments involve Kleinian approaches to child and adult psychoanalysis and issues in psychoanalytic history.

Purpose: This paper focuses on two different characterological patterns that interfere with the development and maintenance of intimacy.  When affect intensity is managed by either freezing or flooding the relationship to others is adversely affected.  How the analyst understands and reacts to these ways of engaging will depend on his or her own characterological ways of dealing with affect and the underlying conflicts.  Two clinical illustrations will be provided.

Educational Objectives: Participants will be able to: 1) understand the dynamics that may underlie flooding or freezing of affect; 2) appreciate how the course of treatment is affected by how the particular management of affect intensity impacts the analyst; and 3) understand and appreciate the need for the analyst to continue to explore and try to remain conscious of his or her countertransference reactions.
