A woman, whose 10-year therapy is marked by abrupt stops and starts, goes blind during the Covid-19 lockdown after her father breaks into her world and retraumatizes her. “There is something you are not wanting to see,” an emergency room doctor tells the woman who reconnects with D’Angelo, so that she can face the impact of childhood abuse. The patient returns with profound fear. She desperately wants to remember what she has not allowed herself to see, but to do so requires trust in a relationship with her therapist. This arouses her deepest dread, because she has learned to protect herself against relationships, at all costs. In this case presentation, D’Angelo and her patient work “within and between” themselves, so they both can see more clearly.

Learning Objectives: After attending the presentation, participants will be able to
– Identify certain relational traumas that may threaten the psychoanalytic relationship.
– Describe effective leading-edge strategies that help the patient develop internal relationships.
– Describe how the treatment of trauma is conceptualized from an intersubjective perspective.

Anorexia touches down into every psychological diagnosis: trauma, hysteria, obsessive-compulsion, addiction, sadomasochism, narcissism, body dysmorphia, perversion. Yet within this kaleidoscope of dis-order, the anorexic patient has found, at last, a secret order, a religious order. But what happens when the anorexic’s formula gives way? This presentation follows Kathryn’s personal history from her perfect sanctuary into the chaotic underworld of an anorexic who is failing at anorexia. Theoretical considerations take an almost psychedelic turn as we investigate the warped mirrors of body dysmorphia, the trance states of Kathryn’s frenzied efforts toward body purification, and the anorexic wish to live outside of time.

Learning Objectives: After attending the presentation, participants will be able to
– Describe the internal psychic world of the patient who presents with anorexia.
– Apply theoretical concepts to attribute meaning to the wishes of the central anorexic imagination.
– Describe how an eating disorder can be a manifestation of internalized family dynamics.
