Kimberlyn Leary, Ph.D., ABPP – Distinguished Lydia Rapoport Visiting Professor
This lecture will discuss the relational capacities that are brought online in the service of being influential in the management and transformation of conflict, both in clinical contexts and in the community. Psychoanalytic clinicians have long regarded explicit influence in the consulting room with considerable ambivalence, ever mindful of the potential for exploitation. Colleagues in practice disciplines like negotiation and mediation – no less mindful of power relations – have regarded influence as strategically desirable. Using studies of negotiation (Ann Patchett’s novel, Bel Canto, and the author’s own work studying mediation processes in Southeast Asia and in the Netherlands), we will examine not just the nature of influence but the particulars of how influence is actualized in ways that may be translated to the imperatives of mobilizing change in psychotherapy.
Tuesday, June 12, 5:45 - 7:00 pm, Cutter Living Room.

In Ellen’s words, “This presentation is in honor of Anne’s leadership in the field of gerontology; her generativity in teaching me life review methodology, and her encouragement to develop this work over the past 12 years with individuals, couples, families and companies. It was Anne's book, The Changing Worlds of Older Women in Japan, in which she described life review interviews she conducted with 30 women, ages 65-95, during her Fulbright Research Fellowship in Japan, that originally inspired me to learn about life review methodology and to pursue this work."
