Steven Knoblauch, PhD
Bodies of Emotion in Interaction:
A Field of Rhythms
Through shared words and movement, Dr. Knoblauch will
invite us into an experience/vision of psychoanalysis which shifts the
focus of the analyst's activity from, predominantly, an emphasis on mentation
and conversation, to include attention to embodied gut reaction/response. both
the analyst's and the patient's. The experience will encompass shared
movement exercises (easy and fun), theoretical visions, his own woven with
those of Racker, Reis Daniel Stern, Civitarese and Ferro and a contemporary chorus
of relationally identified colleagues, as well as clinical narrative.
Dr. Knoblauch's papers and texts The Musical Edge of
Therapeutic Dialogue (2000, The Analytic Press, reprinted in paperback,
2015, Taylor and Francis) and Forms of Intersubjectivity in Infant
Research and Adult Treatment (2005, Other Press), authored with Beebe,
Rustin and Sorter, have used a musical metaphor and systems
perspective to capture the difficult to define flow of emotions in an analytic
process. This approach encompasses embodied dimensions of exchange
including facial expression, gaze, posture, breath but also the rhythms and
tonality/intensity of voice and gesture.
