SUMMARY:The Moral Defense: Nietzsche in the Clinic (Hybrid)
DESCRIPTION:Given that we can detect in the canonical work of many psychoanalytic thinkers the philosophical influences of Kant\, Schopenhauer\, Hegel\, and Heidegger this presentation explores this point of connection between philosophy and psychoanalysis. Few thinkers have matched Friedrich Nietzsche’s psychological insights—a fact Freud acknowledged when he admitted to avoiding Nietzsche’s work to preserve the originality of his own ideas—yet the value of these insights for our clinical practice remains to be explored. \nIn this presentation\, Philosophers and Psychoanalysts\, Allison Merrick\, PhD\, PsyD\, RP\, FIPA and Dr. Rochelle Godbout\, PhD\, RP\, will focus on one of Nietzsche’s most clinically resonant insights: that morality is frequently employed as a psychological defense\, shielding individuals from intolerable emotions such as shame and helplessness. Through detailed clinical examples and a conversation with Rochelle Godbout\, Merrick will demonstrate how to identify moral defenses in therapeutic work and offer strategies for helping patients access the defended-against affects beneath them.

SUMMARY:Hoarding the Future: Generational Anxieties and Their Implication for Psychoanalytic Training and Treatment
DESCRIPTION:Through panel presentations and large and small group discussions\, this program will address the nature of generational anxieties (parricidal\, filicidal\, and siblicidal) as these emerge in the varying aspects of psychoanalytic institutions. \nPresenters Brian Ngo-Smith and Teresa Méndez will share reflections from their clinical work as well as from supervisory and other collegial relationships\, to address the impact of these anxieties as they lead to resistances to progression\, succession\, and diversification of learning opportunities. \nAttendees will be invited to engage with the presenters and with one another to grapple with the vicissitudes of psychoanalytic training as these also parallel other sites of systemic breakdown when confronted with diverse identities that come to represent a threat to the status quo. Particular attention will be paid to the ways in which erotic dimensions of cross-generational dynamics may get obscured by more conflictual and destructive enactments. \nBy interrogating and exploring the complex sociocultural and generational dynamics that are enacted in psychoanalytic training and in psychoanalytic treatment\, these presentations will invite learners to reflect on their own training experiences – both as student and teacher\, supervisee and supervisor – in order to think more critically about how this impacts the clinical care they provide to their patients\, including with respect to therapeutic interventions that may be overlooked due to unconscious allegiances to figures on whom learners depend. \nBrian Ngo-Smith\, LCSW\, BCD-P\, FABP is a psychoanalyst and clinical social worker in Denver\, CO. He received his MSW from the University of Iowa and completed analytic training at the Denver Institute for Psychoanalysis\, where he is now on faculty. Brian has worked in the mental health field for over 20 years in residential\, hospital\, community mental health\, and private practice settings. He is a Past President of the American Association for Psychoanalysis in Clinical Social Work and he was the recipient of the 2024 Ernst and Gertrude Ticho Memorial Award from the American Psychoanalytic Association. \nTeresa Méndez\, LCSW-C\, LICSW is a clinical social worker and psychoanalyst practicing in Baltimore\, MD.

SUMMARY:Myriad Uses and Functions of Interpretation
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: \nBruce Reis\, Ph.D.\, FIPA\, BCPsa \nProgram Committee Chair: \nMarina Mirkin\, MD \nAnalysts seem spellbound by language when it comes to the word interpretation\, a word so idealized and grand\, so laden with fantasy\, that the term itself continues to hold a magical sense that defies us to think about it. Accordingly\, issues of construction\, co-construction\, and transformation are examined. Every interpretation is at once a concealment\, every inscription a negation\, every representation a representation of something unrepresentable. Despite this\, the concept of interpretation\, even if theoretically unsupportable in large measure\, retains its clinical utility.
