About the Lecture:

Starting with Freud who brought it up on several occasions, psychoanalysts have been intrigued by the concept of play and playfulness.Many analysts from Phyllis Greenacre to Melanie Klein and Donald Winnicott contributed to our understanding of the difference between the therapeutic play and playing games, clarified the mechanism of the therapeutic action of play, and explored a connection between playing and creativity.Significant bulk of the psychoanalytic thinking about play has been made in the context of working with children. With the broadening of the scope of psychoanalysis, the importance of adjusting the technique to the needs of the patients unprepared to use classic interpretation generated interest in using play in adult analysis. This panel will address how the panelists, all of them child and adult analysts, have been able to enrich and enliven their psychoanalytic work with adults by utilizing their experience of working with children.Dr. Anzieu–Premmereur will discuss how being a child analyst freed her to play with associations, use metaphors, and include humor in her work with adults.Dr. Herzog will explore the lasting impact of being in analysis as a child on the capacity for playfulness in the adults.Dr. Bolognini will speak about the development of playfulness as an important goal of psychoanalysis and one of the criteria for termination.Ample time will be left for discussion with the audience.
