Henry Massie, MD and Nathan Szajnberg, MD will discuss case studies from a prospective psychoanalytic study of paths to emotional health and illness from birth to age 30 and 60. This study, initiated by Sylvia Brody in 1964, included filmed mother-child interaction, projective psychodiagnostic assessments, and psychoanalytically oriented interviews with parents and children. Drs. Massie and Szajnberg inherited the project for the 30-year followup in 1994, which they conducted from an attachment perspective. Findings highlight the relative importance of early attachment versus later childhood trauma for subsequent emotional health. Some participants lives demonstrate how trauma can remain hidden unconsciously and/or intentionally from interviewers until it emerges years later, which raises implications for treatment. Infancy films of four participants followed to age 60 in 2023 will be shown.

Henry Massie, MD is an adult, child and adolescent psychiatrist, and longtime member of the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis. He was formerly Training Director in the Child Psychiatry Residency Program at St. Mary’s Hospital, San Francisco, and formerly Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the University of California School of Medicine. He has published extensively on child development and its disturbances in the International Journal of Psychoanalysis, and with Nathan Szajnberg authored Lives Across Time: Paths to Emotional Health and Illness From Birth to 30 in 76 people. He has also developed, with B. Kay Campbell, the Massie-Campbell Scale of Attachment During Stress Scale which is a screening tool for troubled parent-infant interaction which is in use world wide. Dr. Massie is based in Berkeley, CA.
