Welcome

I am very excited to start our new year, Oct. 3 with our first speaker, Bhaskar Sripada, MD. Bhaskar graduated from the Chicago Institute, is a very well known and respected analyst, maintaining a practice here in Chicago. He will discuss a book he recently published which is a description of an analysis that was recorded, hence he presents sessions word-for-word. In addition he explains what he was thinking in sessions and why he said what he said to the patient The presentation is certain to be enlightening and engaging. This meeting will be held at the Institute’s new offices at 8 S. Michigan Avenue, 7th floor. We hope many people can attend in person, refreshments will be served following Bhaskar’s talk. Of course we will be on Zoom for folks who are not able to attend in person. The zoom link will be sent to all people who register.

We have many stimulating speakers lined up for the 2023-2024 year—including but not limited to, Marila Aisenstein, Robert Tyminsk, Gavin Mullen, Yvonne Maratos and Nahaleh Moshtaghi. A list of dates will soon be available on our link, “upcoming events”.

As always, I encourage everyone to become a member of the Society. Some advantages are; CEU’s are offered only to members; small study groups will also be organized for members who want to read papers by some of our speakers in more depth and lastly, when completed, the Annual of Psychoanalysis, produced and edited by the Society will be provided at no cost to members of the Society.

We are also welcoming new leadership to the Society this year. Stephanie Fariss has been elected President Elect and will assume the Presidency in 2024 and Christopher Rigling has been elected Treasurer. Both are graduates and faculty members of CPI, and together will enrich Society leadership with their backgrounds in business, law and finance as well as decades of clinical experience.

Warmest wishes,  Lucy Freund

Topic: What Goes Through a Psychoanalyst's Mind During a Treatment? A Case Study


Bhaskar Sripada, MD, Sripada, MD, is a member of the Chicago Psychoanalytic Society, faculty at the Chicago Psychoanalytic Institute, and Associate Professor of Clinical Psychiatry, University of Illinois at Chicago.  In the past he served as Medical Director of the Beacon Therapeutic Diagnostic and Treatment Center and Medical Director, then Acting Director, of the Illinois State Psychiatric Institute. His publications have appeared in The International Journal of PsychoanalysisThe Annual of Psychoanalysis, and Psychodynamic Psychiatry.  His book, When Suicide Beckons: A Psychoanalyst’s Memoir, was published in 2022. 


Presentation Description:  The presentation, based on Bhaskar Sripada’s book, When Suicide Beckons: A Psychoanalyst’s Memoir, provides, verbatim, the beginning of a psychoanalysis that he conducted.  What is unusual is that Sripada also describes his thinking during the sessions, how he decided what to say or not to say, and how he was reacting to his seriously depressed patient.  He also shares a dream he had that was precipitated by the analysis.  The result is a unique exploration into a psychoanalyst’s mind.


Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of the presentation, attendees will be able to:

  1. describe the beginning steps of how a patient’s severe depression becomes alleviated during psychoanalysis;
  2. identify the elements of countertransference that take place early in this treatment.
