NCP Presents the Morris Eagle Psychoanalytic Research Lectures: honoring the life and work of distinguished member Morris Eagle
This event honors Morris N. Eagle, PhD, a renowned psychologist and psychoanalyst who has significantly contributed to our understanding of human behavior and the therapeutic process. He is a professor emeritus of the Derner Institute of Advanced Psychological Studies at Adelphi University and a former president of the Division of Psychoanalysis of the American Psychological Association. Eagle has published numerous books and articles on a wide range of psychoanalytic topics, and he is considered one of the leading authorities on ego psychology and attachment theory. Here are some of his most notable accomplishments:
- Developed a revised and expanded ego psychology that provides a strong foundation for a unified psychoanalytic theory.
- Emphasized the importance of empathy and the process of working through empathic failures in therapeutic action.
- Integrated attachment theory into psychoanalytic theory and practice.
- Authored numerous books and articles that have made significant contributions to the field of psychoanalysis.
Dr. Eagle's work has been highly influential, and he is widely respected by his colleagues. He is a recipient of the Sigourney Award for lifetime contribution to psychoanalysis and the New York Attachment Consortium Award for contribution to the interface between attachment theory and psychoanalysis.
Speakers include: NYU Professor and author Jerome Wakefield; Editor-in-Chief of the journal Psychoanalytic Psychology, Chris Christian, PhD.
In addition to honoring Dr. Eagle, we will also honor and present an award to Dr. Beatrice Beebe.
For this lecture, Dr. Beatrice Beebe will present "Recognition and Disturbances of Recognition in Infant Research and Adult Treatment: Contributions of Video Microanalysis."
Beatrice Beebe will discuss her revolutionary contributions to psychoanalytic understanding and treatment. Her work explores the early recognition process from birth: infants perceive the similarity of expressions and gestures in the parent, and they can imitate. Her research uses video microanalysis of 4-month infant-mother face-to-face interaction to predict 12-month attachment, in which they identified 4-month disturbances of maternal recognition, particularly at moments of infant distress, in dyads where the infant was classified as disorganized (versus secure) attachment at one year. The video studies will illustrate sensitive maternal recognition of infant distress vs. disturbances in this key process. This work is used to describe nonverbal aspects of the recognition process in adult treatment, also through video microanalysis.

Presenter
Beatrice Beebe, PhD, is a Clinical Professor of Psychology (in Psychiatry), at the College of Physicians & Surgeons, Columbia University, and New York State Psychiatric Institute. She is an infant researcher and a psychoanalyst, known for video microanalysis of mother-infant interaction and its implications for infant and adult treatment. Her frame-by-frame video microanalyses provide a “social microscope” that reveals subtle details of interactions too rapid to grasp in real-time with the naked eye. Her research investigates early mother-infant face-to-face communication: the effects of maternal distress (depression, anxiety, trauma of being pregnant and widowed on 9/11), the prediction of infant attachment patterns, and the long-term continuity of communication from infancy to adulthood. More than 100 students have been trained in her research laboratory over the last three decades. Her most recent book is The Mother-Infant Interaction Picture Book: Origins of Attachment (Beebe, Cohen & Lachman, Norton, 2016). She is a Co-Principal Investigator (with Julie Herbstman) on R01ES027424-01A1, Prenatal endocrine-disrupting chemicals and social/cognitive risk in mothers and infants: Potential biologic pathways.
