Scientific Meeting | Saturday January 10, 2:00PM - 4:00PM
Topic: 4th Annual Marianne Goldberger Memorial Lecture: “No Mortal Can Keep a Secret”: Learning About Our Patients and Ourselves Through Writing

4th Annual Marianne Goldberger Memorial Lecture: "Marianne Goldberger: A Mold-breaking Psychoanalyst in Her Time and, Importantly, for Ours"

Dr. Holmes lecture will demonstrate the various ways in Dr. Marianne Goldberger was a pioneer in psychoanalysis. The paper will draw on multiple sources of data: her experiences as Marianne's supervisee, student, mentee, collaborator in writing, and friend; a review of commemorations of her upon her death, and reflections on a sampling of her scholarship. Dr. Holmes will show how she was innovative in her time and fortunately, that her ways of thinking and working are importantly mold-breaking for these times as well. Marianne Goldberger boldly and clearly taught us to think about, challenge and change uniformity when it stifles creativity and expansion in our conceptualizations and practices. Her innovations could not be more valuable today, a time in which authoritarian tendencies seek to confine us to rigid and unquestioned conventionality in society in general, and often in psychoanalysis.
