Art tour in the city of Florence
The tours are conducted by a professional touristic guide, Francesco Gigliotti. Example of tour:
Florentine Last Suppers and Cloisters
An itinerary that takes you to the centre of the spiritual life in the Renaissance Florence: the unique tradition of the Last Suppers; the sacred stories represented on the walls of the cloisters, spaces of beauty and meditation; the masterpieces of the most important Italian artists between the 1400s and the 1500s - Beato Angelico, Paolo Uccello, Andrea Del Sarto, Ghirlandaio...
Duration: approx. 3:30 hours.
Bargello National Museum
The oldest public building in Florence, a fortress with its magnificent courtyard, the Loggia, the Salone del Consiglio; nowadays home to the most remarkable collection of Renaissance sculpture in Italy: Michelangelo, Donatello, Cellini, Verrocchio, Luca Della Robbia, Giambologna, and many other masters.
Duration: approx. 2:30 hours
Florence food tour
The tour is conducted by Karin Pantzer, MA in History and culture of food at Bologna University.
The food tour provides an overview of the history, origin and method of production of the different traditional Tuscan and Italian foods as well as how these foods are included in the daily Florentine diet. This is why the food tour also includes a visit and tasting at the local food market.
Furthermore I make suggestions and recommendations about local restaurants and shops where you can find high quality foods and only local customers. The main idea of the tour is to give an internal perspective of how food is viewed, lived and perceived by Florentines and how to avoid the tourist traps that unfortunately are so numerous!
The food tour consists of a tasting of typical pastries, different cheeses and cold cuts, a tasting at the bakery, then olive oil, balsamic vinegar, truffle, and different kinds of wine, chocolate and gelato. All the tastings take place in historical and little gourmet shops in the city center.
A tour lasts around 3-4 hours and it usually runs in the morning since the market is only open in the morning.
The tour can be adapted to the client preferences and specific needs.
Art, wine, and food tour in Chianti
It includes an art tour in Chianti and a wine and food tour at the Castello di Monsanto. To be further defined.
Ferenczi in Firenze is a program of workshop which will combine the pleasure of a vacation in Tuscany and the chance to study Sándor Ferenczi’s contributions to psychoanalysis. It has been organized in collaboration with the Ferenczi House in Budapest and will take place in anticipation and preparation for the International Sándor Ferenczi conference which will be held in Florence between May 3 and 6 of 2018.
The workshops/vacations will last 5-7 days and will unfold in small groups, each consisting of 10-15 clinicians or individuals interested in Ferenczi’s contributions to psychoanalysis. The workshop will take place in the same venue where the 2018 conference is scheduled to meet, the Convitto La Calza, an ancient 14th-century Hospital which has been transformed into a hotel and meeting center.

ARNOLD RACHMAN
The Resurrection Of Elizabeth Severn: Ferenczi's Analysand and Mutual Analytic Partner
Elizabeth Severn was called an "evil genius" by Freud. He felt she was leading Ferenczi away from traditional psychoanalysis. Consequently, she was condemned by the orthodox analytic community and removed from psychoanalysis as a meaning figure. The acquisition of The Elizabeth Severn Papers from the estate of her daughter, Margaret Severn and the discovery of a previously unknown interview of Severn by Kurt Eissler provide new, important date to re-evaluate Severn's functioning when she was in analysis with Ferenczi (1928-1933) and after the analysis (1933-1959). In a new book, entitled, Elizabeth Severn, The Evil Genius Of psychoanalysis published by Routledge Press, London, Severn emerges as not only as Ferenczi's mutual analytic partner in the study and treatment of trauma, but, an important figure in the history of psychoanalysis.
Arnold Wm. Rachman, PhD., FAGPA, is a Member-Board of Directors, The Sandor Ferenczi Center of the New School for Social Research, New York City; Honorary Member- The Sandor Ferenczi Society, Budapest Hungary; Donor- The Elizabeth Severn Papers, The Library of Congress, Washington, D.C..

JAY FRANKEL
Ferenczi's concept of identification with the aggressor
Ferenczi's conception of identification with the aggressor (IWA)—at the heart of his trauma theory—starts with his revolutionary reconceptualization of the traumatic situation. Ferenczi included subtle assaults as traumatic. And he stressed the role of "hypocrisy"—when adults deny the abuse or blame the child—as leaving the child unbearably isolated, and as the most damaging element.
The IWA response involves finely tuned submission/compliance with the aggressor's demands, not just in outer behavior, but inwardly, on a mental level of thought, perception, and feeling, and morally, in terms of readily blaming oneself and losing a sense of goodness and wholeness. Compliance is both a survival tactic in reality, and a way for the child to continue to feel a sense of belonging in the family. The inner accommodations of IWA help insure that the child plays her role effectively. Indeed, IWA is closely intercoordinated with dissociation and introjection.
IWA often turns into a persisting tendency to accommodate and to blame oneself. And the internal distortions it engenders undermine the child's capacity to think independently and to psychologically separate, and lead her to lose a feeling of goodness and wholeness, a sense of inner authenticity, and a sense of agency. These losses are compensated in some people by an overinflated narcissistic response, which may, ironically, facilitate submission.
Consistent with a broader understanding of the traumatic situation, IWA seems to be a widespread tendency under certain circumstances—not limited to people who have been grossly abused. This observation opens up new perspectives on a great many patients who have not been grossly traumatized, and also makes IWA a valuable tool for understanding large-scale social phenomena involving submission and compliance. As Ferenczi first observed (and experienced), IWA also often plays a central role in structuring the analytic relationship, for both patient and therapist, and is key in understanding and working through clinical impasses. Ultimately, IWA provides the basis for a new, more mutual conception of the analytic relationship.

First day: Ferenczi and Contemporary Psychoanalysis
Second day: An Examination of Balint’s Groups in the setting of General Practice, Psychiatry and Medicine
Listening to the doctor’s impossible patient through the perspective of the doctor’s problem brings the value of the countertransference to bear in understanding the clinical encounter.The Hungarian tradition from Ferenczi to its present day applications that Balint brought to London will be discussed with many clinical examples as a way of embedding psychoanalysis in medicine and the body.

ADRIENNE HARRIS
Trauma, regression, and mutuality
A workshop on the Ferenczian notions of trauma, regression, and mutuality as they appear in contemporary relational theory and practice. The workshop will also focus on Ferenczi’s ideas about development and early disturbance. These themes will be traced through the object relations work of Winnicott and Balint , relational considerations of the entanglement of transference and countertransference, and relational and intersubjective work on primitive states.

FRANCO BORGOGNO
The Clinical Language of Sándor Ferenczi
Sándor Ferenczi gave to psychoanalysis an extraordinary number of contributions in various areas. These are the areas I have in mind: “the improper and not adequate coupling, the praecox ejaculation and the interpretation”; “the suggestion, the suggestibility and the pragmatic of communication”; “the introjection and its processes”; “the effect of the analyst’s communications and non-communications on the patient”; “the resistance, the negative therapeutic reaction and the narcissistic countertransference”; “the birth and the evolution of the Ego”; “the children, the Infantile and the primitive anxieties and defenses”; “the contributions to the classic psychoanalytic technique”; “the phases of the experimentation on the technique”; “the adaptation of the family to the child”; “the elasticity of the technique and the tact”; “the different meanings of the dreams and their interpretation”; “the confusion of tongues between the adults and the child”; “the psychic qualities of the good-enough analyst”; “the sins of psychoanalysis and psychoanalysts”; “the traumatogenesis, the many faces of trauma and the curability of the complex post-traumatic consequences”; “the language of the body and the somatic memories”; “the ‘Masculine’ and the ‘Feminine’”; “narcissism-socialism/egoism-altruism/autarchy-universalism”…

EMANUEL BERMAN
A generative dyad: The interaction of the personal and the theoretical in the Freud-Ferenczi relationshipThis workshop will explore the Freud-Ferenczi relationship from 1908, when the two met, till 1933, when Ferenczi died. Its main themes will be the fertile mutual influence between the two, and the close interaction between the personal level of the relationship (Freud as Ferenczi's friend, colleague, teacher, analyst) and its theoretical level, which helped both to develop their models.
Emanuel Berman, Ph.D., is a training and supervising analyst at the Israel Psychoanalytic Society; Chief International Editor of Psychoanalytic Dialogues; and Professor Emeritus of Psychology at the University of Haifa.
