Discussion

Dr. Meadow: It's always a great pleasure to listen to Dr. Kirman describe modern psychoanalytic technique because of the clarity of his thought, and wonderful to hear how he works with patients when they communicate symbolically the negative transference. Thank you, Dr. Kirman. Now Janice Hildebrand will introduce the panel who will discuss this morning's papers and those of Dr. Adler and Dr. Roland this afternoon.

Mrs. Hildebrand: It's a privilege to be able to introduce this distinguished panel who represent the Adlerian, Freudian, Jungian, and modern analytic schools. Mrs. Rena Taub, a training analyst and faculty member at the Alfred Adler Institute of New York, where she is coordinator of the child psychotherapy program. Mrs. Taub is at present engaged in research on depressed women to determine whether there's a correlation between the incidence and severity of depression and sex-role orientation.

Gerald Gargiulo, representing the Freudian school, is a senior member of NPAP, where he's been on the faculty for the past nine years. He's currently an associate editor of Psychoanalytic Review. His special area of interest is the English object relations school of psychoanalysis, and we can expect him to look at these papers today from that perspective, with particular attention to Winnicott. Mr. Gargiulo's papers on psychoanalysis have appeared in the Psychoanalytic Review, American Imago, and Crosscurrents. He is presently writing a text on the psychoanalytic technique from the English object relations point of view.

Dr. Charles Klaif is associate clinical professor at the University of California Medical School in San Francisco. He is also on the faculty of the C. G. Jung Institute of San Francisco. Among his papers are “Empathy and the Analytic Process,” and “The Ego in Analytical Psychology.”

Mrs. Nelson is no stranger to NAAP, having served on NAAP's
