SUMMARY:Psychedelics in Psychoanalysis
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Megan Rundel\, PhD\, is a practitioner of psychedelic-assisted psychoanalysis in Oakland\, CA. In this course\, we will explore the psychedelic renaissance in mental health treatment and how it is relevant to psychoanalysis. We will consider the history of psychedelic use\, and cultural issues that exert strong influence on our attitudes toward them. We will learn about the major psychedelic compounds being studied for efficacy in mental health disorders\, their efficacy\, mode of action\, legal status\, and contraindications. Then we will consider how psychoanalysts are uniquely well positioned to understand expanded states of consciousness\, and explore clinical issues in working with patients who use psychedelics.

SUMMARY:Racial Melancholia\, Guilt\, and Repair with David L. Eng\, PhD & ShinHee Han\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Hybrid Program – In Person in Portland\, OR or Virtual via Zoom (this program will not be recorded). \nSpeakers: David L. Eng\, PhD & ShinHee Han\, PhD \nIn this workshop\, we will consider how social and psychic processes of loss for Asian Americans are mediated\, mitigated\, and exacerbated by the problem of guilt. Scholars working on identity politics have embraced a range of affective states — including melancholy\, pride\, shame\, and anger — as theoretically and politically productive emotions. In contrast\, guilt is more typically attributed to others than assumed by the self. Indeed\, discerning the guilt of others is often a means of proclaiming the righteousness of one’s self. If guilt is the sine qua non for initiating psychic processes of repair in object relations\, how does the repudiation of guilt foreclose the possibility of reparation? More specifically\, how do Asian Americans hold\, embrace\, and repress guilt such that reparation of both the other and the self become impossible?

SUMMARY:Connections and Conversation- with Ruth Lijtmaer\, PhD: Silence\, Ghosts\, Secrets and Trauma
DESCRIPTION:Connections and Conversation is a free monthly Zoom meeting. This conversation will explore the space between violence and trauma is dangerous silence. Time\, space and history collides. Silence intensifies the impact of trauma\, and trauma that goes unspoken\, un-witnessed and unclaimed produces more trauma to self and others. Silence can be associated with a ghost\, as a metaphorical tool. Ghosts\, like the memory of trauma are both “there” and “not there” at the same moment\, making them ripe for the same “fact or fiction” scrutiny applied to massive trauma\, disbelief and outright denial. They are the keeper of secrets\, and they are the manifestations of something gone wrong. Their lingering on the living goes on for generations.

SUMMARY:Linking Field Theory and Systems Psychodynamics to Enhance Leadership: Perspectives on Racism\, Discrimination and Othering
DESCRIPTION:Addressing the challenges presented by systemic racism\, discrimination\, and othering in our psychoanalytic and community-based organizations is a long-term\, multi-generational endeavor. As part of that effort\, the Council for Leadership and Organizational Studies (CLOS) of the Department of Psychoanalytic Education (DPE)\, American Psychoanalytic Association (APsA)\, in collaboration with the International Psychoanalytical Association (IPA)\, is offering an innovative virtual course to the future international leaders of psychoanalysis: current candidates\, students\, and recent graduates of psychoanalytic and psychoanalytic psychotherapy programs. Enhancing their knowledge and skills in leadership and group dynamics will help them\, their psychoanalytic organizations\, and other community-based organizations in which they participate to more effectively address the challenges of systemic racism and othering. \nThis virtual seminar will explore critical concepts in systems psychodynamics and field theory\, such as intersubjective processes\, group relations\, the social unconscious\, projective identifications\, splitting\,  and social defenses. Thinking of the individual and the group simultaneously\, developing what Bion referred to as binocular vision\, we will deepen our understanding of racism and othering in ourselves and in the groups in which we are embedded. In addition\, we will consider applications of these concepts organizationally to enhance our individual and collective efforts to become more inclusive\, more open in our thinking\, and equitable in sharing power. Each session will be evenly divided between theoretical and experiential components. In the group-as-a-whole we will discuss key points in the assigned readings. Then we will break into pre-assigned small self-study groups to observe and reflect on our own group process as it relates to our learning together about racism and othering. Membership in the small groups will remain constant throughout the course. There is no charge for this course. However\, we ask registrants to commit to attending all 8 sessions\, if possible\, in order to foster trust\, cohesion\, and a deeper level of engagement. \nCo-Leaders: James W Barron\, PhD and Paula Christian-Kliger\, PhD \nGuest Faculty: Anton Hart\, PhD\, Beverly J.

SUMMARY:APsA's Lee Jaffe Candidates' Council Paper Prize Presentation
DESCRIPTION:“The Total Training Situation: Dimensions of Candidacy that Potentiate Analytic Process” – 2023 Semi-Finalist Presentation\nPresenter: Matt Shatzman\, M.A. – A recent graduate of the St. Louis Psychoanalytic Institute\nDiscussant: Richard Tuch\, M.D. – Training and Supervising Analyst at the New Center for Psychoanalysis\, Chair of the DPE Scholarship and Writing Section. \nMatt Shatzman\, M.A.\, the semifinalist for this year’s Lee Jaffe Paper Prize will present his paper\, titled “The Total Training Situation: Dimensions of Candidacy that Potentiate Analytic Process” followed by a discussion by Dr. Richard Tuch. \nUsing material from a training case\, the presenter will demonstrate how the candidate experience adds particular dimensions to what Betty Joseph termed the “total (transference) situation” of analytic work. The discussion highlights ways in which a trainee’s experiences outside of the consulting room can catalyze analytic process\, analytic identity\, and the interactions between them.  The presenter and discussant will also elaborate on the challenges of integrating meta psychology with clinical work in the context of the institutional assessment of candidate progression. \nFree for all APsA Members.

SUMMARY:A Day with Carol Gilligan - In a Human Voice: A Story That Goes Beyond Gender
DESCRIPTION:Carol Gilligan joins NCP to discuss her newly released book In a Human Voice.\nIt has been over forty years since the publication of Gilligan’s revolutionary book In a Different Voice (1982)\, when she amplified women’s voices on self and moral development\, helping them to be heard in their own right\, and with their own integrity. With In a Human Voice\, she argues that human voices go beyond gender and speak for an ethics of integrity\, respect\, and loyalty. The human voice is a voice of resistance\, direct and compassionate\, a requisite for love\, and an advocate for democracy. Gilligan is now Professor of Humanities and Applied Psychology at New York University and a Principal Investigator for the Advancement of Our Common Humanity. She is a widely sought-after speaker\, and we are thrilled that she has come to Los Angeles to have a dialogue with us. \nDr. Susan Hekman\, Professor of Political Science at the University of Texas\, will also share her thoughts about Gilligan’s writings. Hekman’s 1995 book Moral Voices\, Moral Selves examines key problems in moral theory. \nIn the afternoon session\, Clare Knudson\, a Candidate in the Child & Adolescent Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Program at NCP\, will present a clinical case and invite the audience to discuss identity\, self\, and morality\, and the ways women continue to prioritize an “ethics of care.” \n5 CE/CME Credits \n***Registration will close at 4:00 PM the day before the event. No registrations are possible after this time\, no exceptions.***

SUMMARY:Supervision: A Psychoanalytic View
DESCRIPTION:Both the American Psychological and the American Psychiatric Associations have recently advocated specific courses in supervision for their trainees. Good supervision has been described in terms of specific competences or progressive skill sets\, often measured via symptom reduction in the supervisee’s clients. Emphasis has also been put on adapting supervision\, like treatment\, to areas of diversity. But there has been less attention to general developmental goals such as the supervisee’s overall professional and personal growth\, and to areas of maturation that constitute progress in both therapist and patient. This talk contextualizes clinical supervision historically\, exploring some less frequently measured areas of supervisory competence. It aims to be relevant to the practical and professional needs of both supervisors and supervisees.

SUMMARY:Conference - Boys Betrayed\, Men Restored: Consequences of Male Sexual Victimization
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Richard Gartner\, PhD \nResearch suggests that in the United States one in six boys is directly victimized sexually by age 16. It has also become increasingly apparent in recent years that adult men\, like women\, are subject to sexual abuse\, harassment\, and assault.\nIn order to treat this population\, it is crucial that mental health clinicians be aware of the unique challenges male victims face in processing this trauma. This presentation addresses these special challenges. Particular attention will be paid to the themes of male gender socialization\, sexual orientation concerns\, and myths that interfere with men being open about their histories or even recognizing their sexual betrayal. \n

SUMMARY:Evening Presentation - Electra: An Early Case of Childhood Trauma
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Jean Goodwin\, MD \nElectra\, like Oedipus\, is a character from Greek mythology. The founders of psychoanalysis used their names to denote a psychosocial developmental phase. However\, Electra’s story\, like the biography of Oedipus\, teaches us more about murderous violence than about internal conflict. Electra can also teach us something about recovery; she and her extremely abused siblings repaired some of their losses and were able to spare the next generation from ongoing transgenerational violence. This discussion reviews the stories told about Electra in the theaters of ancient Athens in search of ideas out how our current patients can contain and process childhood danger and damage.

SUMMARY:In-person Connections and Conversation with Jimmy Fisher Ph.D.: A Psychoanalyst Serves on a Jury
DESCRIPTION:Free meeting with the ICP community in LA open to all.  Most psychoanalysts never serve on a jury. This essay narrates my experience of being juror number 11 for nine days. This criminal trial involved horrific allegations of rape\, sodomy\, kidnapping\, armed robbery\, and brutal beating. The case also involved issues of race and of violence. After attempting unsuccessfully to get dismissed from the jury pool\, I did my civic duty\, following the rule of law and the facts of the case. Simultaneously\, I conducted a thought experiment\, that is\, using psychoanalytic methods to track the various dimensions of participating in this intense and gruesome court case. I tried to be empathic to all members of the trial\, including the perpetrator\, the victim\, the witnesses\, the attorneys\, and the judge. I monitored the affects of the various participants and my own subjective and emotional reactions. I tracked the transference and countertransference. I focused on body language and the verbal cues of all involved. Because I was traumatized by serving on the jury\, writing this paper enabled me to work through some of my own difficulties triggered by jury service. I conclude by suggesting possible ways in which future jurors might be able to manage and reflect upon the secondary trauma of witnessing such heinous crimes\, including the processing of the guilt and shame of making judgments which will have lifelong consequences for the major participants in this story.

SUMMARY:ACP's International Clinical Conversation Conference
DESCRIPTION:Association for Child Psychoanalysis:  Presented by Denia Barrett and Peter Bruendl \nClinical work performed in isolation or within only a small group of colleagues risks a narrowing of techniques. A continuing conversation between experienced clinicians\, working together throughout the year and then sharing their discourse with the conference participants\, allows for a detailed examination of clinical process with children of different ages. \nThese distinguished interlocutors from Chicago and Munich bring different training traditions and approaches\, allowing for cross-fertilization at both theoretical and technical levels.

SUMMARY:Psychoanalytic Takes on the Cinema: The Invitation (2015)
DESCRIPTION:Discussion of the film:  The Invitation (2015) (104 min)\nDirector: Karyn Kusama\n*** Film must be viewed prior to event.*** \nREGISTRATION DEADLINE: October 25\, 2023 \nDiscussant: Alex Smith\, Psy.D. \nFilm Description:\nWhen a man accepts an invitation to a dinner party hosted by his ex-wife\, the unsettling past reopens old wounds and creates new tensions. \nPresentation: \nWhile often speculative and hopefully morbid\, horror cinema is uniquely equipped to lay bare the unthinkable\, shifting our fears and wishes into the realm of the far-fetched. While Karyn Kusama grounds The Invitation in expertly rendered characters and a downbeat\, albeit slippery\, realism\, she hews closely to the mechanics of the horror narrative\, utilizing fantastical motifs to meditate deeply on resurrection\, grief\, and the diffusion of the self. In this discussion\, we will continue our celebration of the effectiveness of horror in portraying the profoundly human through the profoundly fantastical. We will work to peeling back the layers of horror to reveal the determinants driving the fantastical\, exploring how The Invitation iterates on themes of death and resurrection. We will also look at the classical horror motif of the cult and its representation in horror narratives\, examining its utility\, and the psychoanalytic underpinnings of the fascination of horror with cults and forbidden belief-systems.

SUMMARY:Meet the Author - Working with Patients Who Had a Severely Disabled Sibling
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Johanna Dobrich\, LCSW-R \nWorking with Survivor Siblings in Psychoanalysis: Ability and Disability in Clinical Process explores a previously neglected area in the field of psychoanalysis\, addressing undertheorized concepts on siblings\, disabilities and psychic survivorship\, and broadening our conceptualization of the enduring effects of lateral relations on human development. What happens to a person’s sense of self both personally and professionally when they grow up alongside a severely disabled sibling? This presentation will explore the themes that emerged in the book through a series of qualitative interviews held between the author and a sample of psychoanalysts– all of whom grew up alongside a disabled sibling.

SUMMARY:Linking Field Theory and Systems Psychodynamics to Enhance Leadership: Perspectives on Racism\, Discrimination and Othering
DESCRIPTION:Addressing the challenges presented by systemic racism\, discrimination\, and othering in our psychoanalytic and community-based organizations is a long-term\, multi-generational endeavor. As part of that effort\, the Council for Leadership and Organizational Studies (CLOS) of the Department of Psychoanalytic Education (DPE)\, American Psychoanalytic Association (APsA)\, in collaboration with the International Psychoanalytical Association (IPA)\, is offering an innovative virtual course to the future international leaders of psychoanalysis: current candidates\, students\, and recent graduates of psychoanalytic and psychoanalytic psychotherapy programs. Enhancing their knowledge and skills in leadership and group dynamics will help them\, their psychoanalytic organizations\, and other community-based organizations in which they participate to more effectively address the challenges of systemic racism and othering. \nThis virtual seminar will explore critical concepts in systems psychodynamics and field theory\, such as intersubjective processes\, group relations\, the social unconscious\, projective identifications\, splitting\,  and social defenses. Thinking of the individual and the group simultaneously\, developing what Bion referred to as binocular vision\, we will deepen our understanding of racism and othering in ourselves and in the groups in which we are embedded. In addition\, we will consider applications of these concepts organizationally to enhance our individual and collective efforts to become more inclusive\, more open in our thinking\, and equitable in sharing power. Each session will be evenly divided between theoretical and experiential components. In the group-as-a-whole we will discuss key points in the assigned readings. Then we will break into pre-assigned small self-study groups to observe and reflect on our own group process as it relates to our learning together about racism and othering. Membership in the small groups will remain constant throughout the course. There is no charge for this course. However\, we ask registrants to commit to attending all 8 sessions\, if possible\, in order to foster trust\, cohesion\, and a deeper level of engagement. \nCo-Leaders: James W Barron\, PhD and Paula Christian-Kliger\, PhD \nGuest Faculty: Anton Hart\, PhD\, Beverly J. Stoute\, MD\, Mira Erlich-Ginor\, M.A.\, and Shmuel Erlich\, Ph.D.\, ABPP \nCandidate Faculty: Himanshu Agrawal\, MD \nThursdays 11 AM–1:30 PM ET / 4–6:30 PM GMT \nOctober 5\, 12\, 19\, 26; November 2\, 9\, 16\, 30

SUMMARY:Changing Notions of the Feminine: Challenging Psychoanalysts' Prejudices
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Margarita Cereijido\, PhD \nDiscussants: Kirsten Dahl\, PhD & Rosemary Balsam\, MD\nPsychoanalysis\, from its beginnings\, has a long history of pathologizing certain groups – women and homosexuals\, to name a few. Personal beliefs and prejudices of the times – both past and present –seep into psychoanalytic theory\, education and practice. Many new psychoanalytic ideas conceive of the feminine and notions of gender as conceptual constructs that shift and transform over time. Gender ideals change as culture changes. How analysts listen and give meaning to clinical material is significantly affected by the analyst’s own prejudices\, her implicit and explicit theories as well as her subjective view of the world. If that be the case\, are there ways in which psychoanalysts can ferret out their own prejudices with a view towards providing treatment unincumbered by bias? Dr. Margarita Cereijido\, an internationally recognized thinker and writer on issues of gender\, race\, sexuality and politics in psychoanalysis will address how psychoanalysts can explore and support new notions of the feminine. Critical to this endeavor is an examination of one’s own gender prejudices\, adopting an open curious attitude to the new scenarios patients bring to us and developing new psychoanalytic theories that do not pathologize alternative choices. \nBoth the current revisiting of Freud and exploring new psychoanalytic theories advocates an approach that de-pathologizes “different” lifestyles and family configurations such as\, women who want to have children without a partner or with a female partner\, homosexuals\, non-binary persons\, women who do not want to have children\, etc. \nDr. Cereijido’s presentation will be followed by two discussions delivered by Drs. Rosemary Balsam and Kirsten Dahl. Dr. Balsam has published over one hundred academic publications and books on gender issues\, mothers and daughters\, “the vanished pregnant body” (to name a few) and is the winner of the coveted Sigourney Award for psychoanalytic achievement (2018). Dr. Dahl\, a PhD Anthropologist and Emeritus Child\, Adolescent and Adult Psychoanalyst has multiple publications on female gender and sexuality. The presenters\, all Training and Supervising Psychoanalysts\, will engage in a spirited discussion followed by an open forum exchange of ideas with the audience. Offering ideas relevant to psychoanalysis\, gender studies\, psychology\, and sociology\, this conference will be of great interest to psychoanalysts\, psychotherapists\, and to students and trainees in social work\, gender studies\, psychology\, psychoanalysis\, and psychiatry.

SUMMARY:Against Transantagonism: A Metapsychology for the Flourishing of Trans Children
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, Dr. Avgi Saketopoulou urges psychoanalysts to let the debate about the validity of trans children take its place in the fossil record of analytic history. Encouraging us to stop squandering our energies sparring with colleagues who see trans existence as cause for alarm\, she suggests it is time to move beyond transantagonism to create\, instead\, the psychoanalytic theories we need and do not yet have to work towards the flourishing of trans and queer children. Let us refuse\, once and for all\, the philanthropy of being “inclusive”: trans children\, Dr. Saketopoulou emphasizes\, deserve no less than a psychoanalysis that wants their transness and which does not treat their genders as undesirable or inauthentic. Such a project\, she cautions\, will require us to endure the twisting and re-making of our metapsychology’s very foundations. It is only then that we may enjoy a psychoanalysis that is responsible and response-able to queer life\, and which will not feel threatened by it or work to straighten or cis-iffy our patients. \nThrough a series of case vignettes\, Dr. Saketopoulou will address what stands in the way of a psychoanalysis that works towards the flourishing of trans and queer children\, taking on key concepts in child analysis. She will explain why the notion of core gender identity nests a ticking time bomb into the clinical process and why we need to relinquish our attachment to it; how we may reflect on gender not through the rubric of identity but under the aegis of contingency; why thinking about trauma as constitutive of some queer and some trans experience does not have to necessarily capsize into homotransphobia or conversion; how the demand for coherence and continuity overlooks the workings of important heteroclite psychic processes; and how to think developmentally without collapsing into developmentalism. The implications of this presentation extend far beyond the particularities of trans and queer childhoods\, and gesture towards renewed foundations for child psychoanalysis overall.

SUMMARY:Psychedelics and Psychoanalysis: Myths & Possibilities
DESCRIPTION:This is a continuation of NCP’s Manifest Mind Series.\nAs psychedelic medicine moves toward wide clinical implementation\, psychoanalysts are establishing a specialized set of roles and methods separate from other psychotherapists. The value of psychedelic medicine in psychodynamic care has been extensively documented in the past decade\, corroborating published clinical experience in the earlier LSD era over 60 years ago. This two-hour presentation\, a continuance of our presentation on psychedelic medicine in the spring\, will be devoted to explorations of the clinical skills in working therapeutically with psychedelic medicine. This session examines three aspects of particular interest to analysts and presents challenges to be met with future psychoanalytic methodologies that extend our penetration into the misty realities ahead. \nSpeaker: \nThomas M. Brod\, MD\, is Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine and Senior Faculty at NCP. He is coordinator of the NCP series Manifest Mind\, devoted to the study of psychoanalysis and psychedelic medicine.

SUMMARY:Study Group - Traumatic Experiences of Normal Development: An Attachment-Based and Trauma-Based Listening Perspective
DESCRIPTION:This study group is based on a book authored by Carl Shubs\, PhD\, titled Traumatic Experiences of Normal Development: An Intersubjective\, Object Relations Listening Perspective on Self\, Attachment\, Trauma\, and Reality (Routledge\, 2020). It describes a new conceptualization of trauma\, so we can be better prepared to work with it. The book presents a psychoanalytic and attachment-based perspective on trauma entailing a reconstruction of object relations\, an integration with relational and intersubjective approaches\, and their intersection with a redefinition of trauma\, as well as a recognition of how those experiences manifest in the body. It considers traumatic incidents of all kinds and examines how those experiences have roots in normal development and how they are significant factors in the development and persistence of such things as addictions\, eating disorders\, affairs/infidelities\, relational patterns\, and character structure. It addresses our understanding of anxiety\, depression\, crisis\, trauma\, and the relationships between present and past experiences. It also presents a frame of reference\, a listening stance\, which helps us to understand more deeply the roots of how individuals uniquely process the events that confront them and how we can be more effective in helping them.\nThis study group is conducted over 6 Mondays.
