Blatt, PhD, Yale School of Medicine, Department of Psychiatry, New Haven, CT, December 16, 2011. 1 CONTRIBUTIONS OF SIDNEY J. BLATT Abstract This paper, written to commemorate the fifth anniversary of Sidney J. Blatt’s death, addresses the legacy of his work on autonomy and relatedness as fundamental dimensions in normal and disrupted personality development. We begin this paper by exploring what it was about Blatt’s contributions in this area that made it so resonant and valuable to the wide community of clinicians and academics. The second part of the paper reflects on how his thinking has influenced our own work concerning the origins of human subjectivity and its role in normal and disrupted development. We argue that our views concerning the role of attachment and mentalizing in developing the capacity for epistemic trust and salutogenesis are highly organized around Blatt’s conception of the human dilemma arising from the dialectical needs for relatedness and an autonomous, agentive self.

    FAR EASTERN UNIVERSITY Chynna Andrea Martin THEOAR 2 AR108 1. Walt Disney Concert Hall Architect : Frank Gehry The Walt Disney Concert Hall, designed by the architect Frank Gehry, opened in 2003 after many years of gestation. The history of the building began in 1987 when Lillian Walt Disney, widow of businessman donates $ 50 million to start building a philharmonic hall. The idea was to create a reference point for music, art and architecture, which position the city of Los Angeles in the cultural level. The proposed Gehry was chosen after an international competition in which they were submitted over 70 proposals. The architect imposed its characteristic style, which can be seen in the rest of his works. While the construction of this building is later, the design was done before the Guggenheim Bilbao. Walt Disney Concert Hall is now the permanent headquarters of the Los Angeles P- Philharmonic. Concept: The design represents the style of their creator, architect Frank Gehry, could be considered a work of art in itself. The extravagance of its forms seems to defy any rules of harmony and symmetry. The forms are external inspired by a boat with sails drenched. The building is essentially a shell which consists of a series of interconnected volumes, some form of orthogonal coated stone and other forms of organic and surfaces covered with a corrugated metal skin of steel. As a bridge between the different volumes are used glazed surfaces. The centerpiece of the interior of the building was designed to represent the hull of a boat. The idea of the architect was to design a room with an evocative sculptural forms of music, achieving an intimate connection between the orchestra and audience.

  • Manhattan Office Market
    Manhattan Offi ce Market 1 ST QUARTER 2016 REPORT A NEWS RECAP AND MARKET SNAPSHOT Pictured: 915 Broadway Looking Ahead Finance Department’s Tentative Assessment Roll Takes High Retail Rents into Account Consumers are not the only ones attracted by the luxury offerings along the city’s prime 5th Avenue retail corridor between 48th and 59th Streets where activity has raised retail rents. The city’s Department of Finance is getting in on the action, prompting the agency to increase tax assessments on some of the high-profi le properties. A tentative tax roll released last month for the 2016-2017 tax year brings the total market value of New York City’s real estate to over $1 trillion — reportedly for the fi rst time. The overall taxable assessed values for the city would increase 8.10%. Brooklyn’s assessed values accounted for the sharpest rise of 9.83% from FY 2015/2016, followed by Manhattan’s 8.47% increase. Although some properties along the 5th Avenue corridor had a reduction in valuations the properties were primarily offi ce, not retail according to a reported analysis of the tentative tax roll details. Building owners have the opportunity to appeal the increase; but an unexpected rise in market value — and hence real estate taxes, will negatively impact the building’s bottom line and value. Typically tenants incur the burden of most of the tax increases from the time the lease is signed, and the landlord pays the taxes that existed before the signing; but in some cases the tenant increase in capped, leaving the burden of the additional expense on the landlord.

  • Psychoanalysis—With Whom, for What, and How? Comparisons with Psychotherapy
    ja p a Sidney J. Blatt / Golan Shahar 52/2 PSYCHOANALYSIS—WITH WHOM, FOR WHAT, AND HOW? COMPARISONS WITH PSYCHOTHERAPY If psychoanalytic treatment is to survive in the era of evidence-based medicine and managed care systems, empirical evidence is needed to demonstrate its unique nature and effectiveness. To address this need, comprehensive analyses were conducted of data from the Menninger Psychotherapy Research Project (Wallerstein 1986). These analyses addressed three questions: (1) What are the differences in outcome between psychoanalysis (PSA) and supportive-expressive psycho- therapy (SEP)? (2) With what types of patient, and in what ways, are these two psychodynamic treatments differentially effective? (3) Are these differences in outcome the consequence of possibly different mechanisms of therapeutic action? PSA was found to contribute sig- nificantly to the development of adaptive interpersonal capacities and to the reduction of maladaptive interpersonal tendencies, especially with more ruminative, self-reflective, introjective patients, possibly by ex- tending their associative capacities. SEP, by contrast, was effective only in reducing maladaptive interpersonal tendencies and only with depen- dent, unreflective, more affectively labile anaclitic patients, possibly by containing or limiting their associative capacities. he advent of managed care and the changed climate for long-term T intensive psychological therapies, including a declining interest in psychoanalysis, have raised once again the importance of articulating Sidney J. Blatt, Professor of Psychiatry and Psychology, Yale University; fac- ulty, Western New England Institute for Psychoanalysis.

Zohar, PhD Behavioral Sciences Department, Ruppin Academic Center, Emek Hefer, Israel. Abstract: This paper presents in brief the Blatt and the Cloninger theories of personality and their relationship to de- pression and to psychopathology. Each of the theories is described, the theoretical foundations of the theory are pre- sented, the theory’s view on personality stability, on the relationship between personality and psychopathology, the theory’s efficacy at predicting depression from personality measures, the theory’s explanation for sex differences in de- pression, the measures derived from the theories, and theory productivity. The paper concludes with an analysis of commonalities of, and points of disagreement between the two theories.
