SUMMARY:Art and Psychoanalysis:  Bringing Meaning to the Ineffable
DESCRIPTION:We could construe every psychoanalysis as an attempt by analysa
 nd and analyst to put words and ideation to an oceanic feeling\, an ineffa
 ble lived experience.  This experience may be necessarily inarticulable--l
 ived but not spoken. It may exist in the background\, a necessary precondi
 tion for the interpretive field on which psychoanalysis is founded. In thi
 s paper\, the presenter elaborates this ineffable\, oceanic feeling as it 
 is illustrated in the novel Moby Dick\, and goes on to connect this feelin
 g with the experience of analytic process\, as Freud described it. Finally
 \, the presenter addresses the darker side of this oceanic feeling\, the i
 nvitation in a dissolution of the self.\n\nEducational Objectives\nAt the 
 conclusion of this program\, the participants will be able to\n1) Discuss 
 Freud's resistance to accepting Romain Rolland's description of the "ocean
 ic feeling\," an ineffable experience of unity with the world\, as a nearl
 y universal aspect of human experience\n2) Connect Freud's later theories 
 about the tension between the life and death drives in Beyond the Pleasure
  Principle to the analytic process in which there is a tension between the
  receptive approach to the unconscious and the goal-driven wish to master 
 the "oceanic" depths of the unconscious\,\n3) Demonstrate this dualistic p
 erspective through the analysis of the two principle characters in Herman 
 Melville's Moby Dick and through that\, to explain why Freud shied away fr
 om embracing the "oceanic feeling" in spite of the way that this concept i
 s evocative of Freud's language about the process of psychoanalysis.
