    The Analyst’s Presence in Treating Early Trauma - November 2026

  • Stephen Purcell will lead discussions of two of his papers that address the analyst’s way of being: “Psychic Song and Dance: Dissociation and Duets in the Analysis of Trauma (2019) and “Un-thinking Technique: On Being, Not Doing in the Psychoanalysis of the Sequelae of Trauma” (2026). The first paper includes an extended clinical example illustrating the centrality of the analyst’s non-verbal participation in processes of transformation, while the second brings in neuroscience perspectives in an attempt to better understand factors that contribute to an analyst’s healing presence. Both papers attempt to clarify what is meant by “dissociation” and raise questions about the implicit centrality of “psychic agency” in psychoanalytic theory and technique.
