The title of the Conference will be “Fixation and Regression—Clinical Implications.” Further details will be announced soon.
The American Psychoanalytic Association will sponsor a weekend workshop for qualified mental health professionals at the Cathedral Hill Hotel in San Francisco on March 15 and 16, 1986. The title of the workshop is “The Significance of the Interpretation of Dreams in Clinical Work.” The program is the same one that was presented at the American's annual workshop in New York in November, except that chairpersons of panels, discussants, and small group leaders will be replaced by West Coast people.
Saturday's program will begin with an introduction by the chairman, Arnold Rothstein and a historical overview by Leo Rangell. Two panels will be chaired by Alan Skolnikoff and Joseph Natterson. The panelists will be Paul Bradlow, Scott Dowling, Alan Eisnitz, Wayne A. Myers, Jerome D. Oremland, Paul Ornstein, and Martin Stein.
A Sunday morning panel is entitled “Conversation with the Panelists.” It will be chaired by Robert Tyson. Mardi Horowitz and Edward Weinshel will be the discussants.
