SUMMARY:Visiting Scholar Weekend: “On the Kleinian View of Narcissism: self-love\, perfection and idealization as forces of destruction”
DESCRIPTION:Rachel Blass presents “On the Kleinian view of narcissism: self-love\, perfection and idealization as forces of destruction.” In this course we will examine the Kleinian approach to narcissism\, focusing on the works of Melanie Klein\, Joan Riviere and Herbert Rosenfeld. We will see how and why in this approach narcissism and the self-love\, sense of perfection and tendency to idealize associated with it\, are usually regarded as manifestations of destructive forces\, pulling towards death of oneself and of the other. We will consider the clinical implications of this approach and the rich view of the person as essentially loving that underlies it. \nCE Credits.

SUMMARY:Fiction and Clinical Fiction
DESCRIPTION:Marilia Aisenstein will show how the psychoanalytical approach and the writing of fiction share the power to transform human psychological experience\, to change the very essence of our being in the world. By referencing masterpieces of literature and presenting clinical vignettes\, Ms. Aisenstein will demonstrate the intersubjective processes that are based in the unconscious. She will explore how clinical experiences and the experience of reading fiction rely on creative mentalization and transform an individual’s personal understanding of their inner life. In her discussion of clinical case material\, she will show how the analyst can transform “lifeless discourses” and “reanimate them” using metaphoric language. \nCE.

SUMMARY:Visiting Scholar Weekend:  On the special nature of Kleinian transference interpretation\, and why it is essential to analytic cure”
DESCRIPTION:Rachel Blass presents “On the special nature of Kleinian transference interpretation\, and why it is essential to analytic cure.” \nThe idea that transference interpretation plays an important role in the analytic process is a familiar one. Underlying the London Kleinian approach is the idea that it is not only essential to the process but that only transference interpretation can bring about cure of an analytic kind. To appreciate this view\, one must consider the unique nature of analytic cure and the limitations of other forms of intervention\, including and especially other forms of interpretation of unconscious processes\, in attaining it. It will be suggested that transference interpretation\, as understood and developed by the Kleinian approach\, moves beyond promoting awareness to actively denied unconscious ideas\, and thus allows for actual change and integration of the unconscious fantasies of the inner world. Brief clinical vignettes will be presented to illustrate these ideas. \nCE Credits.

SUMMARY:The Birth of Desire
DESCRIPTION:Marilia Aisenstein will lead us on a journey inside the mind of the newborn infant to demonstrate how human beings develop the capacity for waiting\, a state that involves a pleasurable experience that paves the way for desire. Referencing Freud’s concept of “primary masochism” Ms. Aisenstein shows that having a “good enough mother”– who through words and actions signals to the infant that she is nearby and will be gratifying her soon— promotes the formation of healthy\, internalized mental representations in the infant.  It is these internalized structures that allow the infant to integrate the capacity for waiting. Ms. Aisenstein will also discuss what happens when inadequate maternal provisions derail this process. Using clinical vignettes\, she describes the nature of this impairment in patients with borderline organization: “[their] anti-cathexis is so drastic that it paralyzes the preconscious and isolates the unconscious”\, thus thwarting the infant being able to tolerate delayed gratification\, and ultimately impedes the development of the capacity for desire. Ms. Aisenstein will discuss ways that the analyst facilitates the repair of these ruptures through intensive treatment. \nCE.

SUMMARY:Connections And Conversation: Psychoanalytic Contributions to the Treatment of Eating Disorders – Tom Wooldridge PsyD\, ABPP\, FIPA\, CEDS-S
DESCRIPTION:Free zoom event with Tom Wooldridge\, PsyD\, ABPP\, FIPA\, CEDS-S : Psychoanalytic thinking offers valuable insights to clinicians working with eating disorders and body image concerns. In a field that increasingly emphasizes rapid symptom reduction\, treatment providers risk neglecting less overt\, and less easily measurable\, aspects of the patient’s experience. This presentation will bring together some of the latest thinking about how a psychoanalytic approach can help us to understand the emotional experience of an eating disorder more deeply. As a member of a larger treatment team\, the psychoanalyst assists the patient in contending with an internal landscape marked by isolation and loneliness as well as shame\, guilt\, and embarrassment\, not to mention a profound hopelessness about the possibilities of emotional connection. We will discuss the role of the psychoanalytic thinking within a broader therapeutic approach focus on concepts such as no-entry defenses\, alexithymia and disruptions in symbolic functioning\, autistic-contiguous uses of the body\, and self- and body-states.

SUMMARY:Visiting Scholars Weekend:  “A new perspective on Freud’s thinking on truth\, it’s foundational role in psychoanalysis\, and its contemporary relevance”
DESCRIPTION:Rachel Blass presents “A new perspective on Freud’s thinking on truth\, it’s foundational role in psychoanalysis\, and its contemporary relevance.” \nAt the foundation of Freud’s thinking is the idea that psychopathology is the result of denial. Truths denied lead to a distorted reality and accordingly coming to know these truths\, discovering the true meanings underlying distortions\, is what defines psychoanalytic practice and cure. A common criticism of this approach\, (within psychoanalysis\, as well as outside of it) ?is that it is a limited intellectual and “positivistic” one; it neglects relational\, experiential\, environmental and “pre-meaning” sources of pathology and modes of cure and hence it is ineffectual and rightly has been replaced by new analytic perspectives. \nCE Credits.

SUMMARY:Grappling With Trauma Treatment: Ambiguities Confronting Psychodynamic Clinicians
DESCRIPTION:Treating people suffering with trauma disorders present the clinician with several challenges and dilemmas. How does one diagnose and treat a trauma survivor from a psychodynamic or psychoanalytic perspective? How does the clinician understand changes in self-states\, moods\, and shifting affective states? Are we treating developmental trauma\, or the kind of trauma that leads to Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID\, see Criterion A in DSM-V). Is DID real? Some additional issues include working with multiple transferences and frequent enactments\, working with parts who are unaware of their multiplicity\, working through conflict and discord between parts who have co-consciousness\, and addressing parts that are self-destructive and/or potentially harmful to others.\nPresented by Sheldon Itzkowitz\, PhD \nCE.

SUMMARY:Saturday Salon: I Can Do It All Myself: Working With Self Sufficient Patients
DESCRIPTION:This salon\, taught by Glenda Corstorphine\, will focus on our patients who have a hard time letting us help them. \nFrom a very young age they are used to figuring everything out on their own. When these patients enter therapy there is a longing for help\, a hope that someone can come along side of them and at the same time there’s a wall that goes up due to feelings of shame and weakness. The wall is comprised of cynicism\, negativity and distain of needs and desires just to name a few. \nCE Credits.

SUMMARY:Mark Solms - A Neuroscientific Perspective on Freudian Dream Theory
DESCRIPTION:Mark Solms is a psychoanalyst\, neuropsychologist and a professor in Neuropsychology at the University of Cape Town (South Africa). His lecture begins with a discussion on the series of discoveries about the dreaming brain between the 1950s and 1980s that suggested that Freudian theory was scientifically disproven. Less well known is the fact that a series of discoveries from the 1990s onwards have steadily rolled back the claims made against Freudian theory. The implications for the neuroscientific standing of psychoanalysis are considerable. These two sets of discoveries and their implications will be described in this lecture. \nCE credit.

SUMMARY:Glen Gabbard\, MD. “The Elusive Construct of Therapeutic Action”
DESCRIPTION:Clinicians and researchers find it difficult to adequately describe how the patient changes and what roles the clinician has in facilitating change. What approaches have been developed to help us understand how patients can expand their understanding of the source of the difficulties and what they can do to improve their lives? Dr. Gabbard will discuss some of the historical and recent efforts that have been made to understand what constitutes therapeutic action in psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic therapy. He will illustrate some of these recent advances with clinical vignettes.

SUMMARY:Gender Without Identity\, Development Without Developmentalism
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Avgi Saketopoulou\, PsyD. \nAt this moment in time\, conversations about gender are at the epicenter of heated debate and passionate conversation. At stake is gender’s status as a concept (does gender matter\, and if so\, how?) and matters relating to gender development. Is gender an innate part of the self or one that is distorted by exposure\, say\, to drag queens and the wrong internet sites? \nPsychoanalysis has unique insights to contribute to these questions and to the anxieties that underwrite them. In this presentation\, Dr. Saketopoulou helps us navigate them by focusing on the theory and clinical implications of two key psychoanalytic ideas: the fiction of a core gender identity that determines what one’s true and authentic gender is (be that cis\, trans\, or otherwise) and the idea of developmentally\, predetermined gender endpoints.

SUMMARY:"Observer and Lens of Patient-Analyst Match"
DESCRIPTION:A Scientific Meeting presented by Judy Kantrowitz\, PhD \nIn this presentation\, we will consider the importance of an outside observer in clinical work after the end of formal training. This includes but is not limited to the importance of peer supervision\, supervision groups where cases can be shared confidentially\, and other forms of clinical consultation. \nWe are all at times “blind” to some aspect of ourselves\, which we are made aware of during training\, and must continue to be addressed after training\, though this has received significantly less attention. While Transference- countertransference issues are the clearest example\, but there are other ways interference can occur\, which we will also consider\, including how the patient-analyst match can facilitate or impede a treatment’s progress. \nCE credit.

SUMMARY:Truth\, Reconciliation\, and Reparation
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Paula Christian Kliger\, PhD. \nTaking the position that a road paved with truth\, reconciliation\, and reparation is the road less traveled in our racial and sociocultural healing and our search for human resonance\, this presentation seeks to face our toxic history and asks the question “How do we heal?” It also asks the question “How do we move to sharing power and human resonance in our diverse world\, given our cumulative trauma of prejudice\, discrimination\, racism\, immeasurable global human suffering\, cruelty\, domination\, oppression\, home-grown domestic and police violence\, war\, and genocide?” Weaving in topics such as the 2014 murder of Michael Brown\, Dr. Kliger will encourage us to hold in mind others who remain the “unheard and unseen;” those whose emotional\, mental\, and spiritual safety and security is not assured—including our Black and brown\, Indigenous\, Asian\, and Jewish communities\, from younger to elder\, gendered\, transgender\, and nonbinary neighbors. She aims to foster our ability to integrate the destructive\, cumulative\, and collective trauma our ancestors passed on to us as well as our inheritance of their adaptive strengths and gifts. The ultimate goal of this presentation is to arise out anew\, wiser\, more ably exposed\, and emotionally ready for Truth\, Reconciliation and Reparation to take hold within ourselves\, and then\, to expand the inner communal circle to see and be with the Truth residing in others. \nCE credits.

SUMMARY:Connections and Conversation:  Belonging and its Discontents – Eyal Rozmarin Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Free zoom event Eyal Rozmarin\, Ph.D: For a long time\, I have been interested in the relations between individuals and collectives: the groups they are\, and feel\, part of; the groups they identify with\, and in the act of identifying\, becoming who they are. In other words\, I’ve been interested in belonging: in how we are forced and-or choose belong\, and in what the power-desire knots of belonging do to us. The paper I will be presenting is about my own difficult belonging with the warring collectives that lay claims to the territory I was born in\, a territory known by the already revealing dual name: Israel-Palestine. The difficulty was there from the start\, but it has been increasing. It has become a permanent identity crisis. The state of exception Walter Benjamin speaks of is now the rule. It is how I feel my very own self now. I believe that many of us are going through something similar in these times of wars of extinction in the Middle East and Europe\, and arguably the entire planet: who do we belong with\, which also means who we are. I hope my paper could serve as a springboard for us to to think together about the life and death paradoxes of belonging\, and how we might address them going forward.

SUMMARY:Loathing What We Desire: Clinical Manifestations of Kristeva’s Abject
DESCRIPTION:Following a two-year personally driven immersive odyssey into the works of French Psychoanalyst Julia Kristeva\, Nancy M. Kulish\, PhD has arrived at a particular understanding of the concept of the abject. Dr. Kulish will guide us on her journey to show us a new way to understand the way the very early conflictual engagement between mother and infant can shape the development of one’s subjective sense of the female body. Specifically\, she will discuss the nature of the abject: the abject pertains to the developmental moment when the infant first separates from the mother\, and it is in this moment when feelings of desire and fear directed toward the ‘feminine’ or maternal body are born. Dr. Kulish will discuss how the qualitative nature of this early experience can lead to the development of misogyny\, both in men who simultaneously loathe and desire the female body and in women who harbor hatred toward themselves and their female bodies. Dr. Kulish will discuss case material to illustrate this concept. \nCE Credit.

SUMMARY:Where Is Psychoanalysis in the Psychotherapy Jungle?
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Jon G. Allen\, PhD \nDescription: After its dominance in American psychotherapy in the first half of the twentieth century\, psychoanalysis was marginalized in the healthcare system in the latter part of the century. This marginalization resulted from the confluence of academic scientism and tailoring of psychotherapies to DSM diagnoses in psychiatry.
