SUMMARY:Self-loathing: Origins\, Manifestations\, Dynamics\, and Treatment
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Salman Akhtar\, MD \nThis presentation will address the painful malady of self-loathing. Four types of self-loathing will be described: (i) primal\, (ii) shame based\, (iii) guilt based\, and (iv) remorse based. Therapeutic strategies to lessen such self-hatred and to improve self-esteem will also be discussed.

SUMMARY:Psychoanalysis and Artificial Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Todd Essig\, Phd and Oscar Hills\, MD. Generative AI\, especially chatbots\, presents psychoanalysis with tremendous promise and significant peril. While some benefit tremendously from their AI relationships\, others sink into delusion\, and for most they threaten to flatten inner life\, externalizing what has always been internal. Plus\, so called “therapy-bots” are on the near horizon with both promise and peril. Overall\, if you’re not at least a little anxious about AI’s transformations to self-experience\, intimate relationships and professional life\, you’re not paying enough attention. But anxiety need not lead to denial\, retreat\, panic or paralysis. This presentation offers a path toward active\, informed\, and hopeful engagement on the side of human needs\, psychoanalytic values\, and affirming life. It argues that hope\, not fear\, should drive our response. Active participation combined with critical\, contemplative\, and deeply psychoanalytic engagement can secure not just survival but a thriving psychoanalysis for the AI age. Three dimensions of this AI-age psychoanalytic activism will be explored. First\, why hope provides the essential foundation for AI-age psychoanalytic activism in our moment of accelerating technological transformation. Second\, how to develop the procedural knowledge necessary for authentic psychoanalytic engagement with these technologies so one can move beyond abstract fantasies to embodied understanding. Finally\, a new framework of “techno-subjunctivity” for understanding the unique qualities of chatbot intimacies will illustrate what it looks like to practice hopeful\, AI-age psychoanalytic activism.
