Bollas' visit to Salt Lake City was a unique experience for all who participated. His warmth, depth of vision, and breadth of knowledge conveyed psychoanalytic thinking and practice at its best. While he was here, Bollas participated in three events: A videoconference, in which Bollas discussed forms of depression and the importance of analytic thinking for comprehending today's world. An afternoon conference in which Bollas discussed free association as a fundamental goal of psychoanalysis.

She has lectured widely on adolescent development and identity formation. Dr. Fraser visited Salt Lake City on December 8, 2006. In a videoconference presentation, and an afternoon conference, she discussed multiple aspects of the psychoanalytic treatment of adolescents, including: the neuropsychology of adolescent development, the application of attachment theory in the treatment of adolescents, and the relevance of traditional analytic approaches to adolescents experiencing psychological difficulties. She also presented a case in substantial depth. Theodore Jacobs, April 13, 2007 Ted Jacobs’ influential work is widely followed by psychotherapists around the world. He is a psychoanalyst in private practice in New York City, a Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Training and Supervising Analyst at the New York and New York University Psychoanalytic Institutes, and Former President of the Association for Child Psychoanalysis. He is the author of The Use of the Self: Countertransference and Communication in the Analytic Situation and co-editor of On Beginning an Analysis. He is much beloved by audiences at IPI in DC, and his presentations are marked by warmth, humor, insight and analytic sensitivity. Jacobs presented both a videoconference and an afternoon conference in SLC. In the videoconference, he discussed unconscious communications and covert enactments, and the roles they may play in both sabotaging and facilitating progress in treatment. In the afternoon conference, he focused on ways in which themes from adolescence re-appear in therapy with adults. He discussed the therapist's countertransferences (continuing the theme of his morning videoconference), and the ways in which forgotten aspects of the therapist's own life may block opportunities for the patient to work through adolescent experiences.
David Scharff, October 13, 2007 David Scharff, M.D. is the co-founder and co-director of IPI in Washington DC, and is one of the most internationally recognized figures in psychoanalysis today. He is the author/editor of 15 books, including Object Relations Couple Therapy, Object Relations Family Therapy, The Sexual Relationship, The Freud Century, and Refinding The Object And Reclaiming The Self. In this conference, David Scharff, a world-renowned psychoanalyst and expert in sex therapy, presented both theoretical and rich clinical material to describe the strategies with which therapists can help their patients manage sexual problems in their partnerships.
Richard Zeitner, Ph.D., December 7, 2007 Richard M. Zeitner completed his Ph.D. in clinical psychology at Brigham Young University, and a clinical internship at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. After a four year stint in the Army he completed a post-doctoral training program in marital and family therapy at the Menninger Foundation in Topeka, Kansas, followed by a post-doctoral training program in psychodiagnostics, also at the Menninger Clinic, and finally entered the Topeka Institute for Psychoanalysis where he graduated in adult psychoanalysis. He has his ABPP in clinical psychology, is certified in adult psychoanalysis by the Board of Professional Standards of the American Psychoanalytic Association, and is currently a Training and Supervising Analyst at the Greater Kansas City Psychoanalytic Institute, where he is also in private practice. He has a number of publications and is currently authoring a book. In this conference, Dr. Zeitner presented a fascinating case of a young woman patient who presented for treatment with apparent problems of anxiety and depression. Within the analysis, though, she developed a particular form of erotized transference, but which became manifested in a sadistic way, that is, with the intention of torturing the analyst, while also giving rise to her own masochistic wishes. Dr. Zeitner's presentation demonstrated how the analyst contributes to the development of intense transference-countertransference perverse enactments, and how these can be worked with toward an eventual resolution.
Randy Paulsen, M.D., and Sally Bowie, LICSW, Feb. 29 - Mar. 2, 2008 Randall Paulsen is the current President of the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute, and is a psychoanalyst in private practice in Boston, Massachusetts.

Bowie, LICSW, has been the Director of The Rape Crisis Intervention Program at Beth Israel Hospital and is currently in private practice in Boston and is on the faculty of The Psychanalytic Couple and Family Institute of New England.

With each case, participants deepened their understanding of the therapeutic relationship in each treatment.
