Historical and contemporary perspectives on the development of analytical music therapy Training

ABSTRACT Introduction: analytical music therapy (AMT) is an international model of music therapy that is an integral part of advanced training for music therapists. AMT training entails the study of music psychotherapy, techniques and strategies, individual and group supervision, as well as personal AMT therapy, by exploring music therapists’ inner life. AMT training prepares aspiring music therapists to meet the challenges of the profession. Music therapists from all over the world have received AMT training and have applied their knowledge in various settings. Moreover, they have an opportunity to examine their worldview, values, personality, musical self, and interactions with clients. Method: To provide a better understanding of the historical perspectives, interviews with experienced educators and significant historical figures and literature review were performed. The significant information was contextualized, and verbatim statements from the interviewees were included. Results: Mary Priestley created AMT, Johannes Eschen and Inge Pedersen integrated the experiential component of AMT training into music therapy programs in Europe, and Benedikte Scheiby was instrumental in developing a postgraduate training program in New York from 1997 to 2018. She was an integral part of the new AMT training initiative at Molloy College, the first university-based AMT training program. Discussion: This paper identifies historical perspectives, its current state, and the benefits and challenges of AMT training. Various viewpoints of AMT training are discussed. This analysis can help music therapists to honor the pioneers’ legacy and to contribute to the further development of AMT.

The Problems and Contradictions Inherent in Analytic Training and the Ultimate Requirement: Working with Uncertainty.

In this essay, the author's aim is to outline the specificsof psychoanalytic intervention and its current relevance. She explores the boundaries of the clinician's identity, (whether psychotherapist or psychoanalyst), examines the training itself, as well as how and where one can develop the skills necessary to engage in this profession. She specifically assesses the Italian situation. For the construction of the identity of the therapist/psychoanalyst it is fundamental to learn how to tolerate uncertainty, seen here asa value, not a limitation,in contrast with the certainties which characterize other forms of psychotherapy. The complexity of psychoanalytic training is thus demonstrated as a function of two particularities, that of methodological rigor, incorporating all the necessary theoretical knowledge, and the delicate skill of being able to maneuver within the world of passion, regulated by the personal identity of the clinician.

Scapegoating and the ‘angry black woman’

The scapegoating of ‘angry black women’ achieves the paradoxical feat of ascribing power while simultaneously taking it away. This article aims to highlight how women of colour may be scapegoated as a result of intersecting, deep-rooted, and malignant forces operating within the (un)conscious, with a particular focus on racism. A lack of relevant literature is identified so to better understand the causation and effects of this phenomenon, group analytic concepts are cross-pollinated with black feminist, white feminist, and black political theory. It is suggested that conductors could do more to manage destructive forces in groups and so three anti-racist approaches are proposed. Concluding thoughts note that if our groups are permeated by the social, the same may be said of our theoretical framework. It is hoped that by consulting other specialist disciplines and integrating their knowledge into group analytic training and professional practice, our aims of being more inclusive, accessible, and diverse become ever-more attainable.

The Effect of Healthcare Data Analytics Training on Knowledge Management: A Quasi-Experimental Field Study

This study aims to provide practice-oriented evidence regarding the implementation of healthcare data analytics and its impact on the use of new data analytics tools and relevant analytical skills improvement. A quasi-experimental pre-test/post-test controlled study was conducted in a large medical system in the eastern United States. Healthcare data analytics training program participants (N = 21) and a comparison group comprising trainee-identified peers completing comparable work (N = 27) were compared at the start of training and one year later. Results showed that both trainees and peers demonstrated improved healthcare data analytics skills over time, related to concomitant increases in their healthcare data analytics-related learning and performance goals. This study suggests that healthcare organizations aiming at successfully implementing a new data analytics infrastructure should provide well-designed training that enables trainees to develop specific learning and performance goals as well as improve relevant skills and ability to use new tools.

Time for space at the table: an African American - Native American analyst-in-training's first-hand reflections. A call for the IAAP to publicly denounce (but not erase) the White supremacist writings of C.G. Jung.

This article provides an African American-Native American analyst-in-training's first-hand reflections on Jung's firm depiction of Blacks of African descent and America's First Nations People (the Red man) as inferior, through a theory of primitivity that unveils Jung's belief in and support of White supremacy. With no intended disrespect or neglect intended toward America's First Nations, this article focuses primarily on Jung's apparent disdain for Blacks (the Negro). Utilizing writings from Frederick Douglass, W.E.B. Du Bois and Na'im Akbar, this article highlights ways in which Jung's biases align with the White supremacist perspective of the Negro as a problem, detrimental to social order. The paper concludes with an Appendix which outlines a call to the International Association for Analytical Psychology (IAAP) to take corrective action and to publicly denounce those facets of Jung's writings that diverge from the core of his theory and that promote toxic attitudes of bigotry, perhaps discouraging many people of colour from enrolling in analytic training.

Marie H. Briehl and Rosetta Hurwitz: Pioneers in North American Child Psychoanalysis

ABSTRACT This paper is a tribute and exploration of the contributions of two hidden but important figures in the history and development of North American child psychoanalysis, Marie H. Briehl and Rosetta Hurwitz. These early child psychoanalytic pioneers were the author’s great-aunts. They trained as young lay analysts in Vienna with Anna Freud and other key Viennese psychoanalysts between 1924 and 1930, and were among the original group to study with Ms. Freud. The author considers various significant aspects of her great-aunt’s childhoods that played a large part in the spirit of their determination to go to Vienna. She looks at their beginnings in a large socialist family, later as teachers, at their passion for the development of children, and their recognition of the limitation of pure pedagogy in reaching certain children in the classroom. The author takes the reader through Marie’s and Rose’s studies in Vienna and the difficulties of acceptance as lay analysts upon their return to New York City. While Rose practiced quietly in New York, this paper highlights Marie’s contributions to child psychoanalysis including the development of one of the first child analytic training programs in Los Angeles, as well as her strong belief in the qualities necessary to do good child psychoanalytic work.

Holistic Approach to Data Linkage at Monash University

IntroductionMonash University’s health researchers are at the forefront of Health, Epidemiological and Translational research. Powered by research funding of over $69 million per year, Monash encompasses 13+ registries, 44+ clinical trials and 47+ cohort studies underpinned by complex multimodal, large and often sensitive datasets. Many of these research activities are occurring in isolation. Opportunities exist to better deliver higher impact research at scale through capacity building in data sharing.
 Objectives and ApproachWe have designed this session to demonstrate how significant investment in health data platform infrastructure by a University, can support best practice in data linkage and health research.
 ResultsContent will include:
 
 An overview of Helix – people as a platform, research stakeholders, and key capabilities.
 Institutional data governance and sharing capabilities – linking two or more researcher held datasets exampled by a use-case of linking biobank data to a clinical registry dataset.
 Monash Helix data linkage working group – established to develop a community of practice to advance data linkage capabilities across Monash with a focus on: knowledge sharing; ethics, governance and data security; analytic training; and improved access to external administrative datasets.
 Secure eResearch Platform (SeRP) – developed by Swansea University who have partnered with Monash University to bring their best practice framework and technologies in managing sensitive health data to Monash researchers and their national and international collaborators.
 Future directions - participation in defining the strategic priorities of the Health Studies National Data Asset Program by creating distributed data infrastructure capability to develop, share and link FAIR data collections from the government, research and health care sectors.
 
 Conclusion/ImplicationsThe session will facilitate discussions on how we can build on these activities, both nationally and internationally, to develop a community of practice around knowledge sharing and best practice in data linkage.

A Diagnosis for Psychoanalysis in the 21st Century: Freud as Medicine

This paper assesses the history of psychoanalysis in the United States in order to inform a “professional memoir” of the author’s experience of analytic training in the 21st Century. The mix of historical and personal landscapes supports a contention that there is something missing or lost in American psychoanalysis, that psychoanalysis has lost sight of the radical and subversive nature of unconscious processes. I argue that only by returning to a study of rigorous and comprehensive theory, seated in Freud’s work, can this absence be addressed.

Tongan socio-environmental spatial layers for marine ecosystem management

Environmental conditions and anthropogenic impacts are key influences on ecological processes and associated ecosystem services. Effective management of Tonga’s marine ecosystems therefore depends on accurate and up-to-date knowledge of environmental and anthropogenic variables. Although many types of environmental and anthropogenic data are now available in global layers, they are often inaccessible to end users, particularly in developing countries with limited accessibility and analytical training. Furthermore, the resolution of many global layers might not be sufficient to make informed local decisions. Although the near-shore marine ecosystem of Tonga is extensive, the resources available for its management are limited, and little is known about its current ecological state. Here we provide a marine socio-environmental dataset covering Tonga’s near-shore marine ecosystem as compiled from various global layers, remote sensing projects, local ministries, and the 2016 national census. The dataset consists of 11 environmental and 6 anthropogenic variables summarised in ecologically relevant ways, spatially overlaid across the near-shore marine ecosystem of Tonga. The environmental variables selected include bathymetry, coral reef density, distance from deep water, distance from land, distance from major terrestrial inputs, habitat, land area, net primary productivity, salinity, sea surface temperature and wave energy. The anthropogenic variables selected include fishing pressure, management status, distance to fish markets, distance from villages, population pressure and a socioeconomic development index based on population density, growth, mean age, mean education level and unemployment. We hope this extensive and accessible dataset will be a useful tool for future assessment and management of marine ecosystems in Tonga.

The Myth of Micro-Aggression

As psychoanalysis teaches, things are rarely what they seem to be. Micro-aggressions are complex enactments illustrating how we embody race in psychoanalysis, history defining the future in fleeting moments that endure. Through my own personal story, as well as, being deeply familiar with analytic institute life, a deconstruction of the micro-aggressive moment is offered, revealing it to be anything but “micro” and fundamentally paradoxical. The familiar surprise of micro-aggression is made up of contemporaneous self-state switches forged from unconscious trans-generational trauma and lived history, and shaped by the structural context of an institute. After describing the many ways dissociated micro-aggressive experiences author an individual’s and an institute’s narrative, suggestions to increase racial safety in institutes are offered, including: antidotes to the inevitability of micro-aggression and shame in analytic training, guidelines for more open communication about race, the necessity for historical self-disclosure to discover hidden similarities of difference, the shared burden of only-ness and the need for kinship networks to encourage differentiation of the self as well as systemic change. Finally, a proposal is offered for how analytic institutes might ally to create more balanced racial representation.

The Secret Society: Perspectives from a Multiracial Cohort

This article explores our experience in psychoanalytic training as a three-person cohort (Black, Latina, and White Jewish) in which racialized dynamics were dissociated in the service of completing our training. Acknowledging the tension of both maintaining a sense of our individual identities and connection to the “other,” we examine the disavowal of racial identifications that allowed us to hold each other in the absence of a holding environment by way of our Institute. In addition, we explore the unspoken entanglements of privilege and oppression enacted over the course of analytic training.

Analytic Training for Junior Investigators in Minority Aging Research: The Michigan Model.

Since 1997, the Resource Centers for Minority Aging Research Program at the National Institute on Aging has been the model for training social and behavioral scientists in minority aging and health disparities research. The latest cycle of these Centers implemented a new structure for the analytic training of junior investigators and for advancing methodologic work relevant to improving the rigor of minority aging research. In this article, we describe the conceptual framework, logistical approaches, challenges, and lessons learned from our experience training junior investigators in methodology through the Michigan Center for Urban African American Aging Research over the past 20 years, with the goal of informing future analytic training efforts for the next generation of scholars focused on minority aging issues.

Professional and Personal Development After Psychoanalytic Training: Interviews with Early Career Analysts.

After analytic training, graduates position their newly acquired identity as "psychoanalyst" in the context of their broader career, contemplating whether to start new analytic cases, adapting their new knowledge base to psychotherapy practice, and deciding how to focus their professional and personal interests going forward. Using questionnaires and interviews, the Columbia Postgraduate Analytic Practice Study (CPAPS) has prospectively tracked the career trajectory of 69 of 76 graduates (91%) from the Columbia University Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research since 2003. In this paper grounded theory is used to identify developmental themes in interviews with analysts who have been followed for at least ten years. Recent graduates are negotiating the following challenges: developing a sense of competence, navigating relationships with colleagues and former supervisors as situations change and roles shift, transitioning into becoming mentors, and balancing the competing responsibilities of professional and personal life. Disillusionment about aspects of training, analytic practice, analysis as a treatment, institute politics, and the field in general emerges as a stark reality, despite a high level of career satisfaction. Educational recommendations include making career development opportunities available and providing a realistic view of both practice realities and expectations of analytic treatment outcome.

Combined Training of Candidates, Scholars, And Psychotherapists: A Model of Psychoanalytic Education for the Twenty-First Century.

A new model of psychoanalytic education is proposed that will meet the challenges of educating candidates in a new century. Prospective candidates have varying opinions about the value of analytic training, opinions that reflect economic and cultural conditions different from those facing previous generations. Overall, today's graduate-level students hold less favorable attitudes toward psychoanalysis than did their counterparts in the past. The proposed model calls for combining analytic candidates, psychotherapy students, and academic scholars for two years in a Psychoanalytic Studies Program (PSP), after which candidates take their subsequent years of training in a cohort made up exclusively of analytic candidates. A curriculum that focuses on the core concepts in psychoanalysis allows students in all three categories to learn the foundational knowledge of psychoanalysis that once was widely taught in graduate mental health programs. The philosophy that underlies the model and the structure and orientation of the course sequences are presented. Implementatiion of the model having shown positive results, its strengths and limitations are evaluated against the traditional model, in which candidates and psychotherapy students are educated separately.

How Did It Happen? Writing—A Royal Road to Becoming/Being an Analyst (Through the Lens of Complexity Theory)

ABSTRACTThrough the theoretical lens of self psychology and complexity theory, the author illuminates how it happened that writing, and the professional opportunities that emerged because she was an analytic writer, became the royal road to the creation of her sense of being, mostly, a competent analyst after analytic training that left her feeling insecure and inadequate. Then, she describes recent work with a patient, Tom, to open a window into her consulting room and illuminate herself as an analyst at work.

From horror to ethical responsibility: Carl Gustav Jung and Stephen King encounter the dark half within us, between us and in the world.

This paper explores the experience of horror. The term is usually understood collectively to refer to experiences of terrorism, racism and other conflicts; however, the paper explores the equal horror for the individual of facing deep and painful psychic contents and traumatic experiences. The paper explores the way that both C.G. Jung, through analysis of the psyche, and the author Stephen King, through his horror novels, have accepted and explored the experience of encountering 'the dark half' or 'It' that is the other within themselves, forming images and symbols capable of linking their personal experience to that of the collective. This encounter is transformed, as far as Jung is concerned by analytical psychology and for King by fiction, through an attitude of active imagination. This led both men to developing an ethical responsibility towards the images of the unconscious, as well as the personal and collective contents of human life. The paper depicts how encountering the 'dark half', through Jung and King can provide a Jungian analyst with a special attitude with which to deeply explore and ethically process the experience of horror in different fields, including therapeutic practice, analytical training and in the traumatic and conflictual facing of the other, with which, today as always, the world presents us.

The Psychoanalytic Education of CAPA Graduates

ABSTRACTThe CAPA Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Training Program and the evolution of Internet videoconferencing applications have inspired and enabled graduates of its advanced program to seek distance psychoanalytic training, mainly in approved institutes of the American Psychoanalytic Association. Two forms of training, Formal Distance Programs and Distance Accommodation, are described. Distance analytic training presents technical and pedagogical challenges to institutes and to their faculty. Some of the objections to distance education that hamper participation by essential faculty are presented. These issues are discussed and remedies are suggested. With experience, these challenges can be addressed and the training experience becomes satisfying for faculty as well as students. The candidates themselves, in two letters, describe their positive experiences in simultaneous training. A sample of clinical work brought to supervision by a distance candidate in the early years of training is presented to give some sense of the aptitude for psychoanalytic work that exists among distance candidates. Some preliminary thoughts about the variations in the psychoanalytic processes are raised and will need to be supplemented by further experience.

The Community Analytics Academy Pilot: A Community-Academic Partnership for Building Community Health Care Analytic Capacity.

The ability to analyze data to identify best practices is key to improving quality of care for community-based health care organizations (CBOs). Leading commercial statistical software remains too costly for many CBOs operating in underserved communities. The St Louis Integrated Health Network (IHN) collaborates with CBOs to increase access to health care. IHN and a local university developed the Community Analytics Academy (CAA), a training collaborative designed to meet the need for data-informed decision making among CBOs. Establishing analytics training collaboratives for CBOs empowers organizations to respond to the ever-growing amounts of health care data and the need for data-driven decision making.
