Christina Emanuel: Thank you, Alejandra, for taking the time to let the IARPP community get to know you and the IARPP-Mexico community a little better. Your local chapter has only very recently formed, yet very quickly you have established programs, a website, and a community of colleagues. What drew you to IARPP in the first place, and how did you go about establishing a local chapter there?<\/strong><\/p>\n It was in an APA conference, where I was discussing my psychoanalytic opinions, that I fortunately met Steven Knoblauch. He was the one who invited me to become acquainted with IARPP. I was pleased to realize that the association’s ideas coincided with my own view of psychoanalysis.<\/p>\n Later on I met Alejandro \u00c1vila who introduced me to the IARPP-Spain chapter and invited me to establish a group in Mexico. Sometime later, when doing my PhD at the Universidad Intercontinental, I met colleagues who were also interested in relational psychoanalysis. We then decided to found a group to discuss our common interests related to our therapeutic vision. The fact that we came from different training environments made it a particularly enriching experience. In Mexico we didn’t know much about relational psychoanalysis until then. In fact there is still a need to disseminate these ideas.<\/p>\n What are some highlights of your chapter\u2019s activities so far, and what programs do you have planned in the future?<\/strong><\/p>\n We have a study group that meets once a month to read and discuss relational psychoanalysis. This group was created three years ago and we plan to continue with it as a consistent activity<\/p>\n We have also organized a series of videoconferences on theoretical topics, as well as case conferences with important relational psychoanalysts from Spain such as Joan Coderch, Alejandro \u00c1vila, Ariel Liberman, and Carlos Rodr\u00edguez Sutil; we have also worked with Margaret Crastnopol from the US. We want to continue with these vidoeconferences as they have proved to be an effective way to learn from experienced psychoanalysts who can share with us their theoretical and clinical points of view.<\/p>\n We look forward to continuing to improve our website by adding relevant information and articles covering relational topics, thus allowing people to become interested and involved with IARPP and relational psychoanalysis.<\/p>\n Tell us about you and your practice. Where are you located? What has your training consisted of? What type of patients and clinical situations do you treat? <\/strong><\/p>\n I studied psychology first and then psychoanalysis. I completed my training in classical psychoanalysis at the Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n en Psicolog\u00eda Cl\u00ednica y Social (IIPCS), and then did my master\u2019s degree in clinical psychology at the Universidad Nacional Aut\u00f3noma de M\u00e9xico (UNAM), followed by a PhD in psychoanalytic research at IIPCS. I received a second PhD in psychoanalysis from the Universidad Intercontinental. I was trained at IIPCS to treat neurotic, borderline, narcissistic, depressed, and psychotic patients. The training combined the study of Freud with object relations theory, ego psychology, and self psychology, just to mention the main influences. I started my private practice in 1985 and have also taught at several private universities in Mexico City, such as Universidad del Valle de M\u00e9xico and Universidad Intercontinental.<\/p>\n I have treated patients with depression, people who feel extremely lonely. I also have quite a few patients who experience problems in their relationships, often with co-occurring aggression issues, sometimes passive and sometimes direct aggression. I frequently treat male patients who at first are anguished about work and economic pressures. But, as therapy progresses, they realize that they suffer from other problems too. They feel insecure about supporting their families, yet they carry the burden of their own lives and histories as well.<\/p>\n I’ve also treated people who have problems connecting in deeper ways, in addition to patients who suffer from narcissistic problems. These individuals struggle with their sense of beauty, intelligence, and power, among other issues, and feel empty and lonely. I’ve also seen a few psychotic patients. I don’t treat children, but some colleagues who work closely with me do.<\/p>\n What is the public attitude toward mental health treatment in Mexico?<\/strong><\/p>\n In Mexico there are a number of national health problems that are pretty serious; however, authorities don’t pay enough attention to mental health. There are public hospitals where people can be treated for psychotic illnesses, but it’s hard to get governmental assistance for neurotic or borderline patients. The programs are intended to help people who already suffer from illnesses, but there are few programs directed toward prevention. One of the topics that has received great interest is gender and the prevention of sexual aggression and abuse of women and children. And there are just two or three insurance companies or institutions that provide mental health treatment, although they will only pay for a few sessions.<\/p>\n The attitude toward mental health in Mexico has changed. When I started studying psychology in the early 1980s, people thought that you had to be crazy in order to go to a psychoanalyst. Nowadays it’s easier for people to accept that they need emotional help, although they usually expect a fast and superficial treatment. It is common for people\u2014and especially for men\u2014to think that they can solve their problems without any help, until they go to a physician who recommends visiting a therapist because they are somatizing.<\/p>\n What is the current attitude toward psychoanalysis in Mexico? What types of psychoanalysis are most popular? What types of psychoanalytic training opportunities exist in your area?<\/strong><\/p>\n There has been an increasingly open attitude toward psychoanalysis in Mexico, especially in groups with intellectual interests, but also in the general population, as it has become more accepting of mental health assistance. That is why many universities now offer programs emphasizing careers in psychology and a number of associations and private institutions offer psychoanalytic treatment. These institutions, in general terms, have clinics where psychology students, supervised by their professors, treat underprivileged patients. To study psychoanalysis you have to invest a lot of money and time because of the supervision, the candidate\u2019s analysis, and the academic courses. Some students have to work in order to save money and then start their training. Of course there is a traditional population that doesn\u00b4t believe that it can be helped by psychoanalysis.<\/p>\n There is a wide range of psychoanalytic organizations and training opportunities, each of them with a devoted group of followers. Among these groups are the Lacanians, with different branches and schools; the classical Freudians; the Kohutians; and the followers of Kernberg, Klein, and Fromm, the latter of whom also have an important association for group therapy; to mention just a few. And last, but not least, we now have a number of people who study contemporary and relational psychoanalysis. There is a strong clinical movement among psychoanalysts in private practice, but most Mexican psychoanalysts don’t write papers as much as they could. I don\u00b4t know the reason why. What attitudes toward relational psychoanalysis in particular exist in Mexico, in your observation?<\/strong><\/p>\n There has been an increasing interest in relational psychoanalysis. Twenty years ago there was a strong reaction against it, with any questioning of classical psychoanalysis harshly criticized. Little by little psychoanalysts started to reveal their inner thoughts and desires for change in theory and technique, risking the impact of isolation and even aggression from classical psychoanalytic groups. There is still the traditional psychoanalytic view that opposes the relational way of explaining human existence.<\/p>\n There are different groups within universities that are studying relational psychoanalysis, such as the Universidad Intercontinental, and even institutions such as the Asociaci\u00f3n Psicoanal\u00edtica Mexicana (APM) which is part of the IPA. We are also getting in touch with Spanish relational psychoanalysts such as Joan Coderch, who has been sharing his ideas. The distribution in Mexico of the Relational Thought Collection, a series of publications in Spanish that Alejandro \u00c1vila publishes in Spain, has greatly enriched this process.<\/p>\n Which theorists and writers most inspire your work?<\/strong><\/p>\n We have read Stephen Mitchell, Lewis Aron, Jessica Benjamin, Robert Stolorow, Donna Orange, Joan Codech, Alejandro \u00c1vila, Juan Tubert-Oklander, Donnel Stern, the Barangers, The\u00a0Boston Change Process Study Group\u00a0(BCPSG), Andr\u00e9 Sassenfeld, Rosario Casta\u00f1o, Carlos Rodr\u00edguez Sutil, among others. I am particularly interested in the work of Irwin Hirsch, Karen Maroda, Beatrice Beebe and Frank Lachmann, and Karen Barad.<\/p>\n Any other comments or information you would like your colleagues at IARPP to know?<\/strong><\/p>\n The board of our Mexican Chapter is formed by solid and committed mental health professionals who are working to establish a strong association and to spread relational psychoanalytic thought. We are Jos\u00e9 Angel Aguilar, Anne Marie Maxwell, Patricia Minjarez, Luc\u00eda Chavez, Amalia Rivera, <\/strong>and Adriana D\u00e1vila.<\/em><\/strong> Some of the members of the relational psychoanalytic study group have been with us since the beginning, such as Alicia Ramos <\/strong>and Lucina Montes<\/strong>, who have been an essential part of the growth of the chapter.<\/p>\n Thank you very much for the interest in the Mexican Chapter.<\/p>\n Link to IARPP-Mexico website<\/strong>: http:\/\/www.iarpp.mx Alejandra Plaza Espinosa, PhD Interviewer contact information: <\/p>\n Afortunadamente, en un congreso de la APA, platicando sobre mi l\u00ednea psicoanal\u00edtica, Steven Knoblauch, me invit\u00f3 a conocer la IARPP y me di cuenta que era una asociaci\u00f3n que coincid\u00eda ampliamente con mi forma de ver el Psicoan\u00e1lisis.<\/p>\n M\u00e1s adelante conoc\u00ed a Alejandro \u00c1vila que me platic\u00f3 acerca del cap\u00edtulo espa\u00f1ol, invit\u00e1ndome a conformar un grupo en M\u00e9xico. Posteriormente en el Doctorado de Psicoan\u00e1lisis en la Universidad Intercontinental, encontr\u00e9 colegas que estaban interesados en el PR, con quienes decidimos fundar un grupo para discutir intereses comunes relacionados con nuestra visi\u00f3n terap\u00e9utica. El hecho de que provini\u00e9ramos de diferentes formaciones, redund\u00f3 en una experiencia enriquecedora. En M\u00e9xico no se conoc\u00eda mucho el PR, entonces hab\u00eda y hay todav\u00eda una necesidad de difundir sus aportaciones.<\/p>\n \u00bfCu\u00e1les son algunas actividades relevantes de su cap\u00edtulo y que programas tienen planeados para el futuro?<\/strong><\/p>\n Tenemos un grupo de estudio que nos reunimos una vez al mes para leer y discutir sobre PR, que funciona desde hace 3 a\u00f1os y planeamos continuar con \u00e9l como una actividad consistente.<\/p>\n Hemos organizado videoconferencias sobre materia te\u00f3rico y supervisiones con importantes PR de Espa\u00f1a como Joan Coderch, Alejandro \u00c1vila, Ariel Liberman, Carlos Rodr\u00edguez Sutil, sobre todo por el idioma, tambi\u00e9n hemos trabajado con Margaret Crastnopol.<\/p>\n M\u00e1s adelante conoc\u00ed a Alejandro \u00c1vila que me platic\u00f3 acerca del cap\u00edtulo espa\u00f1ol, invit\u00e1ndome a conformar un grupo en M\u00e9xico. Posteriormente en el Doctorado de Psicoan\u00e1lisis en la Universidad Intercontinental, encontr\u00e9 colegas que estaban interesados en el PR, con quienes decidimos fundar un grupo para discutir intereses comunes relacionados con nuestra visi\u00f3n terap\u00e9utica.<\/p>\n El hecho de que provini\u00e9ramos de diferentes formaciones, redund\u00f3 en una experiencia enriquecedora. En M\u00e9xico no se conoc\u00eda mucho el PR, entonces hab\u00eda y hay todav\u00eda una necesidad de difundir sus aportaciones.<\/p>\n H\u00e1blanos acerca de ti y tu pr\u00e1ctica. \u00bfEn d\u00f3nde te localizas?\u00bfEn qu\u00e9 consisti\u00f3 tu entrenamiento?\u00bfQu\u00e9 tipo de pacientes tienes y qu\u00e9 situaciones cl\u00ednicas tienen que ver con el tratamiento que das? Estudi\u00e9 Psicolog\u00eda primero y despu\u00e9s psicoan\u00e1lisis. Tengo un entrenamiento en PC en el Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n en Psicolog\u00eda Cl\u00ednica y Social <\/em>(IIPCS), despu\u00e9s estudi\u00e9 la Maestr\u00eda en Psicolog\u00eda Cl\u00ednica en la UNAM Universidad Nacional Aut\u00f3noma de M\u00e9xico y un Doctorado en Investigaci\u00f3n Psicoanal\u00edtica en IIPCS. Estudi\u00e9 un segundo doctorado en Psicoan\u00e1lisis en la Universidad Intercontinental. Mi entrenamiento fue en el IIPCS para tratar pacientes neur\u00f3ticos, fronterizos, con depresi\u00f3n, psic\u00f3ticos. Lo que me permite ver un rango amplio de pacientes. En el entrenamiento se combinaba la lectura de Freud, con te\u00f3ricos de las Relaciones de Objeto, de la Psicolog\u00eda del yo, con la Psicolog\u00eda del Self, s\u00f3lo por mencionar las principales orientaciones.<\/p>\n Empec\u00e9 mi pr\u00e1ctica privada en 1985 y desde entonces di clases en diferentes universides como la Universidad del Valle de M\u00e9xico y la Universidad Intercontinental.<\/p>\n He tratado pacientes con depresi\u00f3n, personas que se sienten extremadamente solas. Tambi\u00e9n he visto un gran n\u00famero de pacientes que tienen problemas con sus parejas y que se dan cuenta que son agresivos a veces pasiva o activamente. Frecuentemente asisten pacientes hombres que est\u00e1n angustiados por su trabajo o por su situaci\u00f3n econ\u00f3micos, pero cuando la terapia avanza se dan cuenta que en el fondo sufren por otros problemas, como sentirse inseguros de ser capaces de sobrellevar la carga de sacar adelante a su familia, lo que implica una pesada carga en sus vidas.<\/p>\n Personas con problemas para conectarse emocionalmente de una manera profunda, han acudido a mi consulta y tambi\u00e9n pacientes con problemas narcisistas, relacionados con su sentido de la belleza, inteligencia y\/o poder, pero se sienten vac\u00edos y solos. He trabajado con pocos pacientes psic\u00f3ticos y particularmente, no trato ni\u00f1os, pero tengo colegas, ubicados en mi oficina que lo hacen.<\/p>\n \u00bfCu\u00e1l es la actitud de las personas hacia los tratamientos de salud mental en M\u00e9xico?<\/strong><\/p>\n En M\u00e9xico, hay un gran n\u00famero de problemas de salud muy serios, por lo que las autoridades no prestan suficiente atenci\u00f3n a los problemas de salud mental. Hay hospitales p\u00fablicos en los se tratan psic\u00f3ticos, pero es dif\u00edcil que obtener apoyo del gobierno para problemas neur\u00f3ticos o fronterizos. Los programas de salud en general van dirigidos a personas que ya se han enfermado y no a la prevenci\u00f3n de los mismos.<\/p>\n Uno de los asuntos que han despertado mucho inter\u00e9s son los relacionados con g\u00e9nero y prevenci\u00f3n de la agresi\u00f3n sexual, as\u00ed como abuso a ni\u00f1os y mujeres.<\/p>\n Hay s\u00f3lo dos o tres compa\u00f1\u00edas aseguradoras o instituciones que proveen tratamientos emocionales y s\u00f3lo con pocas sesiones.<\/p>\n La actitud hacia la salud mental ha cambiado. Cuando empec\u00e9 a estudiar Psicolog\u00eda en los inicios de los 80’s, la gente pensaba que eran los locos que acud\u00edan al psicoanalista. Ahora es m\u00e1s f\u00e1cil que la gente acepte que necesita ayuda emocional, a pesar de que generalmente esperan tratamientos r\u00e1pidos. Es com\u00fan que las personas, especialmente los hombres piensen que pueden resolver sus problemas por ellos mismos, hasta que van con un m\u00e9dico y les recomienda empezar una terapia porque est\u00e1n somatizando.<\/p>\n \u00bfCu\u00e1l es la actitud actual ante el Psicoan\u00e1lisis en M\u00e9xico?\u00bfQu\u00e9 tipo de psicoanalistas son los m\u00e1s populares?\u00bfQu\u00e9 oportunidades hay en los diferentes tipos de entrenamiento psicoanal\u00edtico?<\/strong><\/p>\n Se ha abierto paulatinamente la aceptaci\u00f3n hacia el Psicoan\u00e1lisis, especialmente en grupos con intereses intelectuales, pero tambi\u00e9n en la poblaci\u00f3n general que ha aceptado asistencia a la salud mental. Esa es la raz\u00f3n por la que un gran n\u00famero de Universidades han incluido la carrera de Psicolog\u00eda, as\u00ed como y muchas asociaciones e instituciones privadas ofrecen tratamientos psicoanal\u00edticos. Estas instituciones en t\u00e9rminos generales tienen una cl\u00ednica con cuotas econ\u00f3micas, en la que los estudiantes, son supervisados por otros profesores. Los candidatos a veces tienen que tener un segundo trabajo del que deben ahorrar para empezar su entrenamiento.<\/p>\n Hay una poblaci\u00f3n tradicional en M\u00e9xico que no cree que pueda ser ayudado por psicoanalistas. Sin embargo, se han desarrollado un gran n\u00famero de asociaciones psicoanal\u00edticas y entrenamientos, con muchos seguidores. Entre estos grupos hay Lacanianos de diferentes escuelas, Freudianos cl\u00e1sicos, Kohutianos y seguidores de Kernberg, Klein y Fromm; tambi\u00e9n existe una asociaci\u00f3n importante de grupo, esto es s\u00f3lo por mencionar algunos de los grupos existentes. En la actualidad hay personas que tambi\u00e9n estudian Psicoan\u00e1lisis Contempor\u00e1neo y PR. Por otro lado, a pesar de que en M\u00e9xico hay una importante actividad cl\u00ednica, casi no se escriben trabajos te\u00f3ricos, no sabr\u00eda cu\u00e1l es la causa.<\/p>\n \u00bfCu\u00e1l es la actitud hacia el PR en M\u00e9xico, de acuerdo a lo que observas?<\/strong><\/p>\n Ha habido un inter\u00e9s creciente en el PR. Hace 20 a\u00f1os hab\u00eda una reacci\u00f3n fuerte en su contra. Cualquier cuestionamiento al PC eran duramente criticado. Poco a poco los psicoanalistas se animaros a comentar sus pensamientos acerca del cambio tanto en la teor\u00eda como en la t\u00e9cnica resistiendo el impacto del aislamiento y la agresi\u00f3n. Todav\u00eda existe el punto de vista del PC que se opone a la forma relacional de explicar la existencia humana.<\/p>\n Hay diferentes grupos y Universidades que est\u00e1n estudiando el PR, entre ellos est\u00e1 la Universidad Intercontinental e inclusive instituciones como APM Asociaci\u00f3n Psicoanal\u00edtica Mexicana <\/em>que pertenece a la IPA. Estamos ahora estableciendo contacto con psicoanalistas relacionales espa\u00f1oles como Joan Coderch, que nos ha compartido sus ideas, as\u00ed como la distribuci\u00f3n en M\u00e9xico de la Colecci\u00f3n de Pensamiento Relacional, una serie de publicaciones que dirige Alejandro \u00c1vila en Espa\u00f1a que han enriquecido enormemente este proceso.<\/p>\n \u00bfQu\u00e9 te\u00f3ricos y escritores han inspirado tu trabajo?<\/strong><\/p>\n Hemos le\u00eddo a Stephen Mitchell, Lewis Aron, Jessica Benjamin, Robert Stolorow, Donna Orange, Joan Codech, Alejandro Avila, Juan Tubert-Oklander, Donnel Stern, Los Barangers, El Grupo de Boston para el Estudio del Proceso de Cambio\u00a0(BCPSG), Andr\u00e9 Sassenfeld, Rosario Casta\u00f1o, Carlos Rodr\u00edguez Sutil, entre otros. Estoy particularmente interesada en los trabajos de Irwin Hirsch, Karen Maroda, Beatrice Beebe and Frank Lachmann y Karen Barad. \u00bfAlg\u00fan otro comentario o informaci\u00f3n que te gustar\u00eda que tus colegas de la IARPP conozcan?<\/strong><\/p>\n La Mesa directiva de nuestro cap\u00edtulo mexicano est\u00e1 formada por un grupo s\u00f3lido y comprometido de profesionales de la salud mental, que estamos trabajando para establecer una asociaci\u00f3n fuerte que difunda el pensamiento del PR. Somos Jos\u00e9 Angel Aguilar, Anne Marie Maxwell, Patricia Minjarez, Luc\u00eda Chavez, Amalia Rivera and Adriana D\u00e1vila<\/em><\/strong>.<\/em> Algunos miembros del grupo de estudio han estado con nosotros desde el principio, como Alicia Ramos y Lucina Montes<\/em><\/strong>, que han sido una parte esencial para el crecimiento del cap\u00edtulo mexicano.<\/p>\n Muchas gracias por inter\u00e9s en el Cap\u00edtulo Mexicano.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Link to IARPP-Mexico website<\/strong>: http:\/\/www.iarpp.mx <\/p>\n Alejandra Plaza, PhD \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n An Interview with Alejandra Plaza, Chair of IARPP-Mexico Chapter<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4007,"menu_order":5,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"issuem_issue":[46],"issuem_issue_categories":[10],"issuem_issue_tags":[],"class_list":["post-3921","article","type-article","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","issuem_issue-volume-14-number-3-december-2015","issuem_issue_categories-international-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"yoast_head":"\n![\"plazaphoto1115w\"](\"http:\/\/iarpp.net\/thesite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/plazaphoto1115w.jpg\")
<\/a>Alejandra Plaza: My affinity for IARPP has to do with a shared vision of what a human being is and what happens when a suffering person needs help. Many of the ideas from classical psychoanalysis, which I learned during my training as psychoanalyst, seemed out of place in the context of actual human relations, when encountering people who suffer and need understanding and empathy. Neutrality and abstinence were among those concepts. There were some theoretical aspects that sounded strange to me when I read them, as is the case with some elements from Melanie Klein’s theory. I came to understand my own unconscious resistance to these concepts, as they seemed awkward to me. When I shared my reflections with other classical psychoanalysts they found them irreverent. I didn’t find any agreement with them, only criticism.<\/p>\n

\n<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/a>Alejandra Plaza: Mi afinidad con la IARPP tiene que ver con una visi\u00f3n compartida de lo que es un ser humano que sufre y necesita ayuda. Muchas de las ideas del Psicoan\u00e1lisis cl\u00e1sico, que hab\u00eda aprendido en mi formaci\u00f3n como psicoanalista, me parec\u00edan fuera de lugar el contexto de una relaci\u00f3n humana en la que hay una persona que sufre y que necesita comprensi\u00f3n y empat\u00eda. Algunos de estos conceptos eran neutralidad y abstinencia. Hab\u00eda cuestiones te\u00f3ricas que en el momento de leerlas me hab\u00edan sonado extra\u00f1as, como algunas concepciones de la teor\u00eda de Melanie Klein, pero hab\u00eda pensado que eran mis resistencias a aceptar estos conceptos que, por ser inconscientes, me parec\u00edan muy extra\u00f1os. Las reflexiones que yo hac\u00eda al comentarlas con los psicoanalistas cl\u00e1sicos les parec\u00edan irreverentes y no encontraba eco, por el contrario hab\u00eda cr\u00edticas.<\/p>\n
