Freud (1919) noted that the wide scale application of psychoanalysis as a therapy “will compel us to alloy the pure gold of analysis with the copper of direct suggestion." He continued, “whatever form this psychotherapy for the people may take, its most effective ingredients remain those borrowed from psychoanalysis” (p. 168).

The 2021 Winter Academic Lecture
This year, BPSI's Academic Lectures explore the nature of our therapeutic treatments. Our first lecture looked at psychoanalytic process. What makes a process psychoanalytic and how do we facilitate its development? This second lecture will explore a related theme, examining the similarities and differences between psychodynamic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis.
Freud (1919) noted that the wide scale application of psychoanalysis as a therapy “will compel us to alloy the pure gold of analysis with the copper of direct suggestion." He continued, “whatever form this psychotherapy for the people may take, its most effective ingredients remain those borrowed from psychoanalysis” (p. 168). Ever since, psychoanalysis and psychotherapy have been uneasy bedfellows, similar yet distinguished even as their distinctions over the years have blurred.
What are the hallmark features of each modality in clinical practice? What can be accomplished with each treatment, and what specific goals differ in each? Does our work and thinking as a therapist in weekly psychotherapy diverge from our work as an analyst or as a therapist with an increased frequency treatment? Is suggestion an unholy alloy or a ubiquitous feature in all our work?
Our evening includes a panel of three BPSI members, two of whom have completed both the advanced psychotherapy and analytic trainings. Our fourth panelist will be the audience. A handout will be sent to registrants to facilitate the audience’s engagement with the material on the way to discussion with our presenters.
This program will clarify the similarities and differences of our treatment modalities for clinical work in a manner that will refine our decisions in providing patient care.
