INTERNATIONAL MEETING – SARAJEVO 2016

The Libero and Zora Polojaz Foundation in collaboration with the
Hrvatsko Psihoanalitičko Društvo

organized the INTERNATIONAL MEETING ON PSYCHOANALYSIS AND PSYCHOTHERAPY

Saturday, 22 October 2016 at the Bošnjački InstitutSarajevo

Il seminario si è svolto negli interessanti e confortevoli spazi del Bošnjački Institut ed ha avuto una buona partecipazione di psichiatri e psicologi provenienti da varie parti della Bosnia. Durante la mattinata i relatori hanno esposto i loro contributi, mentre nel pomeriggio il lavoro è proseguito all’interno di piccoli gruppi.

Dal lavoro seminariale è emersa la necessità di continuare a sviluppare ed approfondire alcuni concetti fondamentali della psicoanalisi che risultano molto utili a tutti gli operatori impegnati nel campo della sanità mentale. Ci riferiamo alla capacità di mantenere vivo l’ascolto e l’attenzione alla sofferenza. Da quanto è stato trasmesso nel corso del seminario, verrà vagliata la possibilità, se esistono le condizioni,  per realizzare una formazione a lungo termine in questo paese.

The so-called “talking cure” that was defined by one of the first psychoanalytic patients was a remarkable discovery within the patient-doctor relationship. Psychoanalysis was developed out of this “cure”, along with psychoanalytic psychotherapy.

In this seminar, a number of psychoanalysts from the Croatian and the Italian Psychoanalytic Societies, which are both part of the IPA, consider certain essential concepts of treatment based on psychoanalysis. These concepts will then be discussed and investigated in working groups.

It is well-known that the path of psychoanalysis commenced from traumatic experiences that emerged from patients’ memories, although most of these memories later proved to be phantasies. Nevertheless, trauma alongside phantasy is both an organizer as well as a disorganizer of psychic experience. Trauma can be gradually reconstructed over the course of psychotherapy, thus fostering the recovery of psychic creativity.
