December 2022 “The Psychoanalyst as Improvisational Accompanist” -Henry Markman, MD, FIPA
Description
This presentation explores the musical dimension of the “presence world” in psychoanalysis. The idea of different human, cultural worlds and experience comes from literary critic Hans Gumbrecht who describes a “meaning world” involving symbolization, interpretation, and hermeneutics. A presence world, on the other hand, involves being, emotion, body, movement, space, and mood. As Markman noted in his scientific meeting presentation last month, the presence world has been rather neglected in psychoanalysis until recently. Experiencing the analytic relationship as embodied and in the realm of the presence world implies significant possibilities for clinical engagement and therapeutic action.
