SUMMARY:Social Psychoanalysis and an Ethic of Repair
DESCRIPTION:This program begins with a talk on what a social psychoanalysis might look like in the clinic and draws on some earlier psychoanalysts’ concepts that have connected the social world and the psychic world without reducing one to the other. Exploring identity formation in cultural contexts and within various power hierarchies\, Dr. Layton introduces the concept of normative unconscious processes\, a concept connecting the psychic and the social that specifically addresses the ways that racism\, heterosexism\, classism and other social inequalities are unconsciously enacted in the clinic and culture. We will then explore how therapists can resist unconsciously replicating such cultural inequalities. \nIn the second half of the program\, we will expand our focus to the ways cultural inequalities are unconsciously reproduced in the wider circles of contemporary institutional and sociocultural life. Dr. Layton\, Dr. Nichols\, and Dr. Connolly discuss the psychological case for reparations for slavery and its afterlives. Our conversations here\, too\, explore how we\, as citizens and therapists\, both unconsciously replicate and can resist replicating harmful\, unequal relations. We will think together about how to address the places in our different subjective and communal worlds where harm has been done–and engage together on how to make repair.

SUMMARY:The Phone as a Subject: Understanding the Effects of smart phones and AI on the Mind
DESCRIPTION:With Amy Levy\, Psy.D. & Todd Essig\, Ph.D.\nIn her paper\, “The Phone as a Subject\,” Dr. Levy contests the commonly held assumptions that the smartphone is an object\, susceptible to healthy or pathological employment and comparable to other objects used to ameliorate the pain of reality. Instead\, she will argue that the phone is a subject we interact with in a bi-directional\, intersubjective field. \nThe author leans upon Jessica Benjamin’s 1995 work on the shift in the language of “object” to “subject” as one that brings recognition of the “other.” When we recognize the smartphone and machine-learning artificial intelligence (AI) as “other\,” we can better understand their effects on our minds. \nTo encourage us in psychoanalysis to begin envisioning and conceptualizing the psychological course that humanity is heading on given this profound new relationship\, Dr. Levy will discuss the work of New York Times best-selling author and historian Yuval Noah Harari (2017) and offer a Bionian conceptualization of the phone’s impact on human mentation.

SUMMARY:Psychoanalysis in Transition: Exploring the Vista from Couch to Collective
DESCRIPTION:“As analysts have expanded their involvement outside of the consulting room\, institutes around the world have increasingly recognized that learning about leadership\, followership\, membership\, and social dynamics might need to be a fourth pillar in psychoanalytic training (alongside seminars\, personal analysis\, and supervision). \nIn this conference\, and working together over four days\, the staff and participants will create a temporary institution to examine multiple layers of organizational life beyond the conscious/observable to consider the more impactful and powerful dynamics that are out of awareness.”

SUMMARY:Shame\, Self-Alienation and the Power of Self-Compassion
DESCRIPTION:The concept of self-alienation is inextricably linked to shame. Working with adult children of traumatizing narcissists\, and with others who experience narcissistic abuse\, Shaw’s way of working with these clients shifted as he began to study and integrate concepts and techniques from some of the contemporary traumatologists. What he has learned has led Shaw to place problems with self-alienation\, a condition largely governed by shame\, at the center of the therapeutic endeavor. Shaw will give clinical examples of his work with clients struggling with self-alienation that demonstrate his way of integrating trauma theories and a relational psychoanalytic perspective. \nDaniel Shaw\, LCSW\, is a psychoanalyst in private practice in New York City and in Nyack\, New York. Originally trained as an actor at Northwestern University and with the renowned teacher Uta Hagen in New York City\, Shaw later worked as a missionary for an Indian guru. His eventual recognition of cultic aspects of this organization led him to become an outspoken activist in support of individuals and families traumatically abused in cults. Simultaneous with leaving this group\, Shaw began his training in the mental health profession\, becoming a faculty member and supervisor at The National Institute for the Psychotherapies in New York. In addition to his numerous published journal articles and book chapters\, Shaw’s book\, Traumatic Narcissism: Relational Systems of Subjugation\, was published in 2014 for the Relational Perspectives Series by Routledge. The book was a runner-up for the distinguished Gradiva Award. In 2018\, the International Cultic Studies Association awarded him the Margaret Thaler Singer Award for advancing the understanding of coercive persuasion and undue influence. Shaw’s second book\, Traumatic Narcissism and Recovery: Leaving the Prison of Shame and Fear\, was published by Routledge in 2021. Dan speaks on psychoanalytic topics to clinical societies around the world\, and also conducts consultation groups for groups of three or four clinicians in person and on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Families\, Parents and Children: What can Psychodynamic-Psychoanalytic Treatment Offer?
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Tina Marie Dale\, LCSW. This course is intended for clinicians new to the therapeutic field or those with little to no exposure to the psychodynamic approach thus far in their professional careers. We will look at what the psychodynamic approach can offer to clinicians treating families\, treating children\, and/or working with parents. We will consider concepts such as transference\, countertransference\, internal objects\, sibling relationships\, as well as other concepts that inform and support child\, family\, and parent treatments. Video links and readings provided ahead of class will prepare participants for group discussion. We will also consider diversity among families in treatment. Class time will consist of lectures\, case examples\, and discussion among participants. Participants are expected to read and view the materials provided ahead of time and to arrive ready for discussion.

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:Comparative Clinical Methods: A Training and Clinical Experience
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Abbot Bronstein\, PhD \nThe Comparative Clinical Methods Working Party Group started by David Tuckett and a group of European Psychoanalysts and brought to APsA and NapSac IPA institutes by Abbot Bronstein about 17 years ago\, is a way to explore and study the implicit and explicit clinical methods psychoanalysts use in doing clinical psychoanalysis. The project has collected over 200 clinical cases in North America\, Europe and South America. The groups consist of 15 psychoanalysts listening over 2 days to a colleague present detailed clinical sessions. The group uses a 2 step model to first describe the ways an analyst intervenes and then uses that material to describe the analysts theory of clinical work along a number of variables\, from their theory of ‘what is wrong’ (descriptive diagnosis) to ‘what furthers the process” (their theory of therapeutic action). The project also looks at how analysts have conceptualized such analytic concerns like how they use and define ‘transference’\, the “here and now”\, the ‘analyst as a good or new object”. \nThis workshop will introduce participants to the research\, the concepts and the method of descriptive study using vignettes from established cases.

SUMMARY:The Fascist Turn: Totalitarian Objects & Perpetrator Fragments
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a clinically rich and socially relevant discussion with renowned psychoanalyst and author\, Sue Grand\, PhD. \nAcross the globe\, neo-fascism is on the rise and democracy is at risk. This ominous turn calls for psychoanalytic decoding. This presentation argues that we are all carrying totalitarian objects and perpetrator fragments\, inherited from our forebears’ psyches and culture. These parts have a dissociated life inside us; they haunt our interiors\, and our collectives; and they inscribe forgotten aspects of our collective history. They are enacted in intimate spaces\, in gun violence\, and in our political scene. To examine this form of trans-generational transmission\, we will look at the intimate space of clinical process in the context of our larger socio-historical predicament.

SUMMARY:Reflections on Practicing During the Pandemic: What Can Be Learned? What Now?
DESCRIPTION:Description: Even for those of us with prior tele-analytic experience\, our sudden immersion in practicing tele-analytically during the pandemic caused a seismic shift in our ordinary way of practicing with all the psychic reverberations such a change evokes.\nNow that the dust has settled some\, we have an opportunity to reflect on what we’ve observed about the essential conditions for effective psychoanalytic work\, the role of the external setting and physical presence\, the role of the analyst’s internal setting\, and what’s necessary for establishing and maintaining a useful analytic relationship. \nBio: Dr. Lena Theodorou Ehrlich is a Training and Supervising Analyst at the Michigan Psychoanalytic Institute and Visiting Faculty at the Denver Institute for Psychoanalysis and the Florida Psychoanalytic Center. Her writing and teaching focus on various aspects of clinical theory and practice\, including obstacles to beginning\, deepening\, and ending an analysis\, sustaining an analytic identity and practice\, assessing analytic ability and supervisory countertransferences\, and technical and conceptual considerations of tele-treatment. Her paper “Tele-Analysis: Slippery Slope or Rich Opportunity?” won the 2019 Prize Award from the Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association for excellence in psychoanalytic scholarship and distinguished contributions to the journal. In 2020\, Dr. Ehrlich published a book entitled Psychoanalysis from the Inside Out: Developing and Sustaining an Analytic Identity and Practice. Recently\, she has been honored with the 2024 Candidates’ Council Master Teacher Award. Lena is a Greek immigrant\, a wife\, mother\, and a grandmother of delightful three-year old twin girls.

SUMMARY:What's Love Got to Do With It?  Somatic Treatment Under a Psychodynamic Umbrella
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Presented by Boris Thomas\, JD\, PhD\, with discussant Huey Hawkins\, Jr.\, PhD\nRegardless of our approach to treatment\, a foundational aspect of the work is the relationship between therapist and client/patient. \nFor those accustomed to working psychoanalytically or psychodynamically\, how do we think about incorporating somatic work with our clients (or somatic work that our colleagues might do with our clients in an adjunctive treatment)? \nDr. Thomas will present and discuss his work using EMDR while holding a psychodynamic frame\, managing transference and countertransference\, and the attachment challenges that clients might bring to the work.

SUMMARY:Film and Mind Online: Free Angela and All The Political Prisoners
DESCRIPTION:Free Angela and All the Political Prisoners (Shola Lynch\, 2013) 1 hr 42 min.\nContemporary psychoanalysis as a field is struggling to make sense of racism and culturally imposed trauma. The final report of the Holmes Commission on Racial Equality in American Psychoanalysis was published this past June. In discussing this 2013 documentary\, the NCP Film & Mind series picks up one of its recommendations\, urging “Talk with others about the Report’s findings and recommendations\, and the implications for the [psychotherapy] communities of which you are a part.” \nIn their NY Times review\, Nicolas Rapold wrote\, “Shola Lynch’s documentary about Angela Davis\, the activist and beacon of counterculture radicalism\, is a snappily edited\, archivally wallpapered recollection of fearless behavior in the face of an antsy establishment. But it’s equally significant as a pointed act of retelling.” The film tells the complex story of Angela Davis\, presently a Distinguished Professor Emerita in the History of Consciousness and Feminist Studies Departments at the University of California\, Santa Cruz\, whose social activism led to her name on the FBI’s most-wanted list.

SUMMARY:When Psychotherapy Feels Stuck with Mary Jo Peebles\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Mary Jo Peebles\, PhD will present on…\nWe have all felt stuck as therapists. This may be difficult to admit (and seldom do we tell our patients). But rest assured\, the experience is universal. Feeling stuck has been discussed in traditional psychoanalytic settings as being stuck; i.e.\, a point of non-movement\, or “impasse\,” whose synonyms include “deadlock\, standoff\, stalemate\, and dead-end\,” words implying resistance\, opposition\, and no-more-life. Systems theory\, strategic psychotherapy\, and strengths-based approaches\, on the other hand\, view stuck places as rich in life and interaction. From their lens\, feeling stuck is not immobility\, it is being vitally engaged at the nub of the very thing that brought our patient to seek us. Through role plays\, clinical examples\, mistake-sharing\, and audience engagement\, this workshop will bring alive the life inside feeling stuck. It will develop a way of thinking\, from a theoretically synthetic point of view\, about elements that make a difference when psychotherapy feels stuck. By the conclusion\, psychotherapists may feel encouraged\, and perhaps wonder\, if feeling stuck is exactly where they want to end up being.

SUMMARY:Clinical Conference - Trauma\, Psychedelics\, and Psychoanalysis - Part Two
DESCRIPTION:Ketamine and Trauma On the Couch presented by Megan Rundel\, PhD \nIn this interactive presentation\, we will explore the biological and psychological effects of ketamine on mental health issues\, with a special focus on trauma. We will learn about how to carefully and effectively utilize the power of ketamine for patients with different kinds of trauma. Our focus will be on a psychoanalytic understanding of the ketamine experience\, as well as practical information on working with this medicine in our own practices. \nMDMA and Psychoanalytic Practice: A Fortuitous Alliance presented by Karen Peoples\, PhD \nWithin the broad category of psychedelic drugs\, MDMA is considered an “entactogen” for the openness and psychological contact it facilitates within an individual and their internal world. MDMA also enhances relational contact between the individual and others. MDMA releases neurotransmitters and and other chemicals in the brain\, creating a sense of physiological ease and safety while facilitating connections between memories\, emotions and higher cortical functions. Clinical research trials in carefully contained settings have shown MDMA-Assisted Therapy (MAT) to substantially reduce PTSD symptoms in a significant number of participants. With the anticipated FDA approval of MDMA for use by qualified professionals\, psychoanalytic practitioners will likely see increased interest in MDMA therapy among their patients. Clinicians will benefit from an informed perspective on the protocol and clinical process of MDMA-Assisted Therapy. Similarly\, psychoanalytic perspectives have much to offer the burgeoning field of MDMA-Assisted treatment. In this presentation\, the topics above will be elaborated on\, and the therapeutic value of non-ordinary states will be highlighted from a psychoanalytic perspective. The presentation will include interactive discussion on transference and countertransference in referrals to MAT\, as well as risks and contraindications of MAT.

SUMMARY:Race in Clinical Space: A Two-part Workshop with Kathy Pogue White\, PhD and Jill Salberg\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Session 2 will be held on September 30 @ 10:30 am – 12:30 pm EDT \nThis seminar attempts to raise awareness of unconscious states of mind around race in clinical work using a variation of the Balint method. This Method utilizes group engagement with a case problem brought by a case holder who describes a clinical vignette. The short vignette narrative can be a significant moment in working with a person of color (POC)\, either as the therapist or as a supervisor for the therapist. It can also be when both people in a dyad are white\, and race is in the material\, sometimes expressed\, often not fully engaged. For example\, the case holder feels stuck around a particular racial enactment\, is puzzled by a racialized countertransference\, or is curious about excessive positive or negative feelings towards the POC client/patient. Additionally\, if/when both parties in the dyad identify as white\, a case holder may have become aware of a gap\, an absence of material relating to race.\nIn response to the case vignette\, the group’s work is to make their associative life available to the case holder in such a way as to connect to and open up their own countertransferential experiences. The Balint hypothesis is that the unconscious of all participants will be resonant and provide access to new possibilities as to feelings and ways of seeing things. \nEach session will consist of a) an opening group plenary where a vignette is offered by a senior faculty person describing their work with a POC or white patient or with a training case with a POC supervisee. The focus is on collective deep listening to and clarifying the presenter’s experience of working and thinking in the area of racial differences and encounters. The following two sessions provide opportunities for two volunteer Seminar members to bring case vignettes. b) Working in smaller break-out groups\, the participants will use their associative life to frame a response to the presenters’ posed question. The goal is learning and enlightenment about what race means in the context of clinical work\, as highlighted by these examples. \nParticipants (candidates\, faculty/supervisors\, graduates\, and guest colleagues) commit to attending all two sessions. Readings will be sent out a week in advance. Session 2 will be held on September 30 10:30 am – 12:30 pm.

SUMMARY:MPSI Fall Conference: On Becoming and Being a Subject of Sexual Desire
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Lynne Harkless of the Florida Psychoanalytic Center will be presenting her paper\, forthcoming publication in JAPA\, which questions and retheorizes the connection between embodiment of erotic desire and embodiment of gender. She proposes that children identify with caregivers’ modes of embodying erotic desire and that these identifications can be thought of as separable from gender identifications. \nAn extended clinical case will be presented to demonstrate how unconscious identifications with caregivers’ modes of embodying desire might become activated in both members of the analyst-patient dyad – relationally\, bodily\, and erotically – in the transference–countertransference. \nDr. Harkless will lecture and present a case in the morning.  The afternoon will consist of case presentation to panel of three analysts. \nAttendees earn 4.5 CEU’s and Lunch will be provided. \nRegistration Deadline: September 15\, 2023

SUMMARY:Ruptures in the American Psyche: Containing Destructive Populism in Perilous Times
DESCRIPTION:Michael J. Diamond\, PhD\, FIPA \nIn this two-hour presentation\, Dr. Diamond will examine larger social and cultural factors at play during today’s perilous times. He describes destructive populism and group regression as exemplified by malignant cult-like elements. The current political discourse. Using both a psychoanalytic and a cultural lens\, he analyzes the development of paranoid\, conspiratorial thinking and the dangerous fit between malevolent\, proto-fascist leadership and group adherence to dangerous\, unconscious phantasies arising in both extreme right-wing as well as passionate leftist enclaves. He concludes by considering approaches that potentially decrease the potency of the nation’s destructive elements while furthering healthier containment that strengthens the body politics’ nonpathological elements through managing its inherent tensions.

SUMMARY:Connections & Conversation with Martha Stark: “Conflict Statements”- Leveraging the Patient’s Anxiety to Incentivize Transformation and Growth
DESCRIPTION:If deep and enduring psychodynamic change is the ultimate goal of treatment\, then periodically juxtaposing seemingly contradictory “forces” (Hegel’s thesis and antithesis) will eventually jump-start the patient’s “adaptive recovery” by creating optimally stressful\, growth-incentivizing “mismatch experiences.” I will be proposing use of something to which I refer as a “conflict statement” – a clinically useful and almost universally applicable therapeutic intervention strategically designed to target the patient’s internal conflictedness between anxiety-provoking (but ultimately growth-promoting) forces pressing “yes” and anxiety-relieving (but growth-impeding) resistant counterforces defending “no.”The stress and strain of the “destabilizing dissonance” thereby created will provide the “therapeutic leverage” needed for the patient gradually\, over time\, to relinquish the tenacity of her rigid attachment to the defense in favor of a more flexible adaptation – a “compromise position” that will “reconcile common truths” (Hegel’s synthesis) and transform conflict into collaboration.The strategic construction of conflict statements requires of the therapist that she be able both to support the patient’s defense by “being with the patient where she is” and to challenge the patient’s defense by “directing the patient’s attention to where the therapist would want her to go.” I will be offering specific clinical examples to demonstrate these powerfully impactful\, optimally stressful psychotherapeutic interventions. No pain\, no gain…

SUMMARY:Is This a Cultural Thing? Personality\, Race\, and Culture in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy
DESCRIPTION:Is a patient’s distress predominantly rooted in their personality or in the cultural milieu\, or both?\nThere has been a tendency to separate the psyche and the social throughout the history of psychoanalysis\, and tensions persist in theorizing about this issue. In this program\, we will explore how personality is shaped by sociocultural context and how racial stereotypes and racism are embedded in conceptualizations of personality. We will further examine how a person’s experiences are rooted in personality\, family dynamics\, and sociocultural trauma. Nuanced understandings of individual experiences of sociocultural context will be emphasized as we consider how personality\, race\, and culture intersect and interact in the therapeutic relationship. \nUsha Tummala-Narra\, PhD; Desta Lissanu\, MD; Lana Elhalabi\, MD & Elisa Cheng\, MD

SUMMARY:The Musical Foundation of Being Human: A Psychoanalytic Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Duane Dale\, MD\nCourse Description \nIn these nine monthly seminars\, we will be discussing the book\, Here I’m Alive: The Spirit of Music in Psychoanalysis\, written by Adam Blum\, Peter Goldberg\, and Michael Levin. In my reading of this book\, much of the exciting growth in psychoanalytic perspectives is captured and synthesized. The musical experience\, those times that stay with us and continue to have an impact\, is used as a powerful metaphor for furthering the understanding of the clinical experience and with an emphasis on the importance of connecting with aliveness in our work. \nTo give a sense of the book and what we will be discussing\, here are excerpts from the preface:\n“Our project explores ways that this Enlightenment (i.e.\, thinking over being) paradigm has permeated the history of psychoanalytic theory and practice as we endeavor to unearth an older substratum of experience that has remained present but obscured.” The authors then go on to list thinkers in the Romantic movement bringing in different perspectives than from Enlightenment\, that included “psychoanalytic theorists like Donald Winnicott\, Marion Milner\, Jean Laplanche\, Thomas Ogden\, and Adam Phillips. With different emphases\, all of these thinkers and artists have worked out accounts of how it is that culture shapes human perception\, thought\, and comportment on the deepest levels of embodiment. We extend this account by proposing that the interface of psyche and culture is fundamentally musical.”\n“The work of psychoanalysis\, in this view\, is to facilitate fuller and freer vibration…\, cultivating and amplifying the idiomatic freedom of each instrument to sing through the chorus of musica humana\, to resound the psyche-somatic energies of being human\, to surf the waves of the weave.” \nAnd a final quote from the end of the book: “Like the best psychoanalysis\, music reminds us\, as Freud intimated in his late paper “Finite and Infinite Analysis\,” that we have to stop\, so that we can go on. It never ends\, Winnicott added\, because we’re never gonna get it\, as Phillips put it. But\, as Bion believed\, we feel more because we know less at the end than we did at the beginning. We are able to enter different frames that are not fantasies. Because they are actually here.” Hence the title\, Here I’m Alive. \nWe will be reading from the book and participants will be asked to purchase it.

SUMMARY:Study Group - Trends and Controversies in Psychoanalytic Conceptualizations and Treatment of Trauma
DESCRIPTION:In this three part study group\, participants will explore the trends and controversies that have occurred over time in the psychoanalytic conceptualizations and treatment of trauma. The purpose is not to examine history as static and resolved\, but to consider how the prior issues keep evolving\, influencing the ways in which we view trauma\, its origins\, and treatment. In addition\, we will consider new developments that have occurred over time\, such as findings from neuroscience\, which have had a bearing on our concepts and interventions. We will read pre-circulated journal articles and book chapters for each study session. Some of these consist of historical reviews\, while others are classic or contemporary case studies\, in order to learn about the theories and influences on our treatment of patients who have experienced trauma. \nFacilitated by JoAnn Ponder\, PhD\, George Bombel\, PhD\, & various guests

SUMMARY:Clinical Conference: Trauma\, Psychedelics\, and Psychoanalysis - Part One
DESCRIPTION:A Brief History of Psychedelic Psychoanalytic Therapy and an Introduction to Psychedelic Phenomenology presented by Jeffrey Guss\, MD\nThis talk will begin with a brief review of the history of psychedelic psychoanalytic treatment in the United States and Europe. Following this an introduction to psychedelic phenomenology from a psychoanalytic perspective will be offered\, focusing on 1) hyper- associative states and 2) drug-induced ego dissolution (DIED). The relevance of these two phenomena for psychotherapy will be explored. \nWitnessing: A Psychodynamic Perspective on How Psychedelics Facilitate the Treatment of Trauma presented by Lawrence Fischman\, MD \nIn seeking treatment for trauma\, the multiplicity of individual preferences and available treatment modalities enhance the likelihood of fittedness between patient and therapist. While many individuals will benefit from prevalent spiritual and cognitive behavioral models of psychedelic-assisted trauma therapy\, some patients and therapists will feel more comfortable with relational models. Here\, I offer a psychodynamic model of how psychedelics may influence the process of witnessing\, which has been seen as central to the psychoanalytic model of recovery from trauma.

SUMMARY:Child & Adolescent Psychotherapy Program – 2 Year Program begins September 2023
DESCRIPTION:Cincinnati Psychoanalytic Institute \nThis event addresses: Child & Adolescent Psychotherapy \nThe goal of the Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy Program (CAPP) is to provide participants with exposure to concepts that inform psychodynamic therapy with children and adolescents. The program includes an in-depth exposure to concepts from psychoanalytic understandings of development and psychopathology as they apply to children and adolescents. Psychodynamic principles and techniques are applicable in a variety of clinical settings\, including clinics\, agencies\, hospitals\, and private practice. The program provides a solid grounding in psychoanalytic principles while being attentive to the realities of clinical practice in the current mental health environment. The challenges and practicalities of providing in-depth treatment are discussed throughout the curriculum. \nCAPP offers practitioners the opportunity to deepen and broaden skills in \n• Individual psychodynamic psychotherapy with children and adolescents\, \n• Clinical assessment\, and \n• Parent work \nThis two year program includes two weekly courses (Friday afternoons)—one didactic course and one clinical conference. In order to obtain the maximal benefit\, it is recommended that participants enroll in all four semesters of the program sequentially\, along with weekly case consultation provided at a discounted rate of $60 per hour. Successful completion of the two-year program leads to a certificate of completion. However\, it is also possible to participate for one or several semesters without committing to the two-year sequence. \nThis course is via ZOOM only – Distance learners are welcome to apply. \nThe tuition is $1\,900 per year. \nFor questions about the Child & Adolescent Psychotherapy Program\, contact: \nBrett Clarke\, MSW\, mailto:brettclarke55@gmail.com\, (513) 961-8830 \nSydney Anderson\, PhD\, mailto:sydneyfanderson@icloud.com\, (812) 331-2800

SUMMARY:Evening Presentation - Somatic Experiencing: Enhancing Psychoanalytic Holding and Containment for Complex Trauma and Dissociation - Contending with the Flood and the Fog
DESCRIPTION:This presentation is about interweaving somatic approaches from outside of psychoanalysis into psychoanalytic treatment\, especially for patients suffering from early developmental trauma and severe dissociation. Dr. Levit is a psychoanalyst who trained in Somatic Experiencing (SE). Developed originally as a treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder\, SE is rooted in neurophysiology\, biology and ethology. As its name suggests\, SE focuses on the body\, but it introduces ways of working in the body that are quite different from psychoanalytic modes. Dr. Levit will provide an overview of the SE model\, but the focus of the presentation will be on illustrating how somatically based approaches from SE can enfold into\, and enhance\, psychoanalytic treatment. He will present clinical process illustrating forms of responsiveness based on SE. In discussing each vignette\, he will invoke Ogden’s notion of looking at any clinical process from multiple conceptual vertices. Dr. Levit will consider each vignette from the perspectives of SE\, of holding\, and of containing. In so doing\, he hopes to illustrate the synergy when interweaving SE into psychoanalytic treatment. \nPresented by David Levit\, PhD\, ABPP\, SEP

SUMMARY:Study Group - Exploring the Essence of a Psychoanalytic Approach
DESCRIPTION:Join us in this all-level study group as we utilize Nancy McWilliams’ text\, Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy\, as a guide to exploring the defining and distinguishing features of a psychoanalytic approach. Through reading and discussion\, we will discuss some of the values and assumptions associated with a psychoanalytic sensibility\, examine key considerations such as therapeutic frame and boundaries\, and explore the “how” of basic psychoanalytic psychotherapy processes. Case material from the text and from group participants will help us bring these ideas to life. We will also consider the experience of the therapist in this modality\, including the gratifications and challenges that come along with our work. Participants need a copy of the book: McWilliams\, N. (2004). Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy: A Practitioner’s Guide (Guilford Press).\nFacilitated by Barton Jones\, LCSW & Lindsey Hogan\, PhD

SUMMARY:Connections & Conversation with Francisco Gonzalez: On the Place of the Social Unconscious: Implications for Psychoanalytic Thought and Practice
DESCRIPTION:The current moment in psychoanalytic thinking has made a “turn towards the social\,” but what does this mean in theoretical and practical terms. This presentation aims to provide a conceptual basis for the Social Unconscious as a register grounded in groups\, and operating as a different kind of psychic life than what we are used to when we think of the personal unconscious. If we take the concept of the Social Unconscious seriously\, this implies a fundamental change in our theoretical frameworks. And has implications for opening up the terrain of psychoanalytic practice\, including the recovery and validation of the history of community psychoanalysis and new elaborations of training and practice.

SUMMARY:Certificate Program- Object relations and practice
DESCRIPTION:International Psychotherapy Institute \nThis event addresses: Object Relations Theory and Practice provides a concentrated immersion in the fundamentals of object relations theory and therapy. \nThe International Psychotherapy Institute offers a certificate program in Object Relations is life-changing. We provide a high quality\, deeply immersive\, supportive training through our two-year certificate training program. Our training is different than other organizations because of the affective learning model used at the IPI. Being a part of a small group (GAM) for the entire 2 years\, allows for deep understanding and application of object relations to your clinical practice. The group experience\, led by IPI faculty\, is the major reason our participants keep returning to IPI. The program is chaired by Lorrie Peters\, LCSW. Lorrie is in private practice in Harrisburg\, PA. She is national faculty at IPI and is the current chair of the 2 year Object Relations Theory and Practice Certificate Program at IPI. She is a doctoral student at LCSW.
