An Open Gate: Forms of Analytic Listening with Jeffrey Eaton, MA

The psychoanalyst W.R. Bion emphasized the need to construct models to aid reflection on the complexity of analytic interaction. Inspired by his example, this program explores elements of a “listening grid” that an analyst might use to help reflect upon the “data” of a session. Eaton will present three short lectures aimed at stimulating discussion on the complexity of the listening process. These lectures will be titled “Gathering the Data of a Session”; “The Self and its Circumstances”; and “Listening as an Open Gate”.  Each lecture offers a window into the task of observing and describing an analytic process as well as wrestling with challenging questions about what an analyst selects to bring to a patient’s attention as a session unfolds. Rooted in the work of Klein, Bion, Meltzer and contemporary writers like Ogden, Grotstein, and Ferro, the program will focus on an evolving working model to create a space for thinking together about forms of analytic listening.

Educational Objectives:  At the conclusion of this program participants will be able to:

  1. Observe three forms of anxiety when listening to a patient
  2. Recognize three patterns of transference when listening to a patient
  3. Describe three levels of meaning when listening to a patient
