The 2018 NIP Annual Conference will explore various theoretical and clinical perspectives on shame. How does shame relate to early attachment and impact emotional regulation?  How can the analyst work with shame in the transference/countertransference?  How does shame play out in the interpersonal matrix of the analytic relationship?  Our panel of distinguished psychoanalysts will explore these questions as they discuss their own unique views on shame as an affective and clinical experience.  
The conference will be an all day event. In our morning session the panelists will present original papers on shame and dialogue with one another and with the audience on their varying ideas. In the afternoon session clinical material will be presented by Yael Greenberg and the panelists will each respond to the material from their own vantage point, emphasizing their understanding of how the analytic couple grapples with shame. Yael Greenberg will join in the discussion and the audience will be invited to share their thoughts and questions as well.
