SUMMARY:Gender Fluidities and Valences in Childhood
DESCRIPTION:Western New England Psychoanalytic Society \nThis event addresses: Gender variances \nSpeaker: Eve Watson\, PhD \nDiscussant: Oren Gozlan\, PsyD \nSexuality for children and adolescents is a site of intense curiosity\, brooding\, and fluidity and it is not unusual for an intensive questioning of subjectivity to be supported by a gender-based identity query. Transitioning out of childhood and adolescence can be a significant challenge\, added to by gender questioning. This talk explores the “queerness” of childhood in light of it as a periodicity of frustrations\, perplexities\, helplessness\, abjections\, and “defeats of appetite” and considers how this does not fit well with contemporary culture which promotes ideals and objects of happiness\, pleasure\, and choice. The talk will also explore the ethics specific to psychoanalysis which sometimes run counter to social ideals and the social “good.”

SUMMARY:Ethics Conference: Conflicts and Ethics in Psychoanalytic Consultation and Supervision
DESCRIPTION:Houston Psychoanalytic Society \nThis event addresses: Conflicts and Ethics in Psychoanalytic Consultation and Supervision \nNancy McWilliams\, PhD will present this Ethics Conference. 3 CE/CMEs \nBeginning therapists tend to go to supervisors with ethical questions at a very high frequency\, and most experienced therapists know they need to seek consultation when facing ethical dilemmas. Because the literature on psychoanalytic supervision\, especially in the domain of ethics\, is quite limited\, there is a need for meetings at which practitioners consider the unique and highly complex ethical problems that psychodynamic therapists may encounter. Rather than construing ethics as a set of rules of procedure\, this conference anchors ethical questions within the general principles of the psychological and medical professions\, placing clinical and supervisory choices within the broader humanistic goals that underlie the exploratory psychotherapies.

SUMMARY:Transference-Focused Psychotherapy: Scientific Meeting
DESCRIPTION:New Center for Psychoanalysis (Los Angeles) \nThis event addresses: transference-focused psychotherapy (TFP) \nNCP and TFP New York present Transference-Focused Psychotherapy (TFP): Scientific Meeting \nDiana Diamond\, PhD\, will discuss her innovative work in using transference-focused psychotherapy (TFP) to treat a broad range of patients with personality disorders\, highlighting pathological narcissism. \nTFP is a contemporary object relations approach to assessing and treating patients with personality disorders. Participants will be introduced to the basic tenets of TFP\, such as use of a treatment contract\, naming players in a dominant object relation\, and identifying and working with how these object relational dyads help to contribute to typical transference/ countertransference patterns and resistances encountered with narcissistic patients.

SUMMARY:Play and the Rules That We Need … to be Broken
DESCRIPTION:Boston Psychoanalytic Society & Institute \nThis event addresses: Play \nIn this Academic Lecture\, Steven Cooper explores how psychoanalysis is a form of play. With adult patients\, play helps unsymbolized experience find expression through words. Winnicott’s theory of play\, first described as relevant to children\, marked a radical expansion of the intersubjective component of therapeutic action for all therapeutic work. Through the use of clinical examples\, Dr. Cooper elaborates an application of this play concept to forms of transference-countertransference engagement and enactment. He explores how the emergence of play in clinical process disrupts and marks shifts in transference-countertransference\, and examines how play is nearly always inextricably related to mourning attachments of various kinds. Finally\, Dr. Cooper describes how limits in the therapeutic encounter are a representation of reality that is constitutive of play itself. This is an underemphasized but essential feature of Winnicott’s emphasis on psychoanalysis as a very particular and important form of playing.

SUMMARY:Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy Program 2023
DESCRIPTION:Cincinnati Psychoanalytic Instittute \nThis event addresses: This course is designed to integrate the basic theoretical and technical concepts of psychodynamic therapy with clinical material from therapy with children/adolescents who are functioning at different developmental stages and with varying types of presenting psychopathology. The readings will focus on the topics of therapeutic engagement and alliance\, deepening treatment\, transference\, countertransference and resistance as they apply to work with children\, adolescents\, and parents. The faculty instructors will present illustrative clinical material. For those who have participated in the three previous semesters of this child and adolescent psychotherapy program\, the course will involve a revisiting of these concepts with more depth and a different exposure to the seminal psychoanalytic literature. The course is also suitable for participants who have not participated in the earlier classes. \nThis 15 – week\, one-semester clinical conference will focus on discussion of process material from clinical cases presented by both instructors and participants. The discussions will integrate the clinical material with psychodynamic understandings of development\, psychopathology\, and technique. This class is designed for persons seeking introductory or intermediate level exposure to psychodynamic work with children.

SUMMARY:Almost Half a Century Since it Was Expelled From the DSM\, Why is Psychoanalytic Thought Still in the Wilderness?
DESCRIPTION:Houston Psychoanalytic Society \nThis event addresses: Almost Half a Century Since it Was Expelled From the DSM\, Why is Psychoanalytic Thought Still in the Wilderness? \nProfessor Hannah Decker’s presentation will illustrate the strength of the anti-psychiatry movement\, a part of the Vietnam era’s many protests. The anti-psychiatry’s influence became so deep that the APA continues today to be motivated to keep that movement at bay. The second part of her talk will deal with the anti-psychoanalytic animus of the DSM-III Task Force\, who were dedicated to bringing about the fall of psychoanalysis. The Task Force was dominated by members or offshoots of the biological psychiatry department of the Washington University in St. Louis whose prejudice against psychoanalysis influenced the editor of DSM-III\, Robert Spitzer.

SUMMARY:Connections and Conversation with George Bermudez\, Ph.D.: Towards a Socio-centric Psychoanalysis Contributing to Deliberative Democracy: Social Dreaming\, Community Psychoanalysis\, & Reflective Citizenship
DESCRIPTION:Connections and Conversation is a free monthly Zoom meeting.  The core thesis\, threading through several publications is that if contemporary psychoanalysis aspires to contribute to addressing our socio-political and ecological challenges\, we must develop an enlarged repertoire of theory and practice. The distinguished Harvard Law School Professor\, Lawrence Lessig has eloquently argued that repairing our dysfunctional democratic project is the “first problem” that must be fixed if there is to be any hope in effectively addressing all the other problems. I’ve developed the conviction that unless we co-create inclusive democratic processes and structures that authentically facilitate a citizenship which is engaged\, informed\, imaginatively deliberating together about the existential challenges we face\, and having a meaningful impact on political decision-making—we will remain stuck in systemic dysfunction. However\, I do believe (aligned with Kohut’s call for psychoanalysts to reflect on their group dynamics) that psychoanalysis has in fact\, over the course of its long history and multiple streams\, generated both theory and practice which has great promise for a socio-political contribution. In our conversation\, I will outline some of the pieces of an emergent socio-centric psychoanalysis and suggest an emergent path forward: Community Psychoanalysis; the Psycho-social Unconscious Citizenship Dream Group process; Social Dreaming integrated with Deliberative Democracy.\nThe “Community Psychoanalysis” paradigm proposes an integrative path forward with which psychoanalysis can contribute robustly to multidisciplinary strategies to addressing the multivalent “wicked problems”\, which are challenging our institute\, regional\, national\, and global communities. \n“Wicked problems” have no definitive formulation: these are problems which in a seemingly infinite regress are symptoms of other problems; problems which involve multiple stakeholders who like the proverbial blind men and the elephant have divergent and often incommensurable perceptions of the problem and its causes; problems which generate attempted solutions which in turn generate unintended consequences and new problems; problems with no objective right or wrong\, requiring reliance on human judgment\, subjectivity\, and collective wisdom.
