SUMMARY:Understanding and Treating Disordered Eating Through A Psychoanalytic Lens
DESCRIPTION:This event will be presented by Dr. Jennifer Hanlin: Attendees will explore Philip Bromberg’s paper\, Treating Patients with Symptoms—and Symptoms with Patience: Reflections on Shame\, Dissociation\, and Eating Disorders. Bromberg’s theory is that the therapist’s task is to allow themselves to slowly discover the patient’s multiplicity of self-states and the existing gap between the states. Further\, the case presented within the paper will be discussed\, and the need to maintain the dissociative structures within the mind\, presenting as “illness”\, will be emphasized.  Examples of the interpersonal relational psychotherapy process will be given to enhance the understanding of treatment.

SUMMARY:The Decentered Self in Psychedelic States
DESCRIPTION:This is a two-day program which is being presented in person and on Zoom.  \nMANIFEST MIND CONFERENCE III:\nThe Decentered Self in Psychedelic States\nWhat actually is the altered reality of psychedelic experience? Is there more… or less… of ones self? \nThe experience of subjective dimensionality is a key scientific conundrum of our age. Sensed but ungraspable\, how do you measure that which is beyond measurement? Can such a mystery be explained in naturalistic terms?  \nThe conundrum is personal. In the physical world there is no “self” center in your brain. Who are you if there is no place of YOU (“self”) in your brain? Is “myself” a distributed function in your brain\, or is “myself” an emergent property from another dimension? Is your existence fantasy? How real is the “you” that remains to experience an intense psychedelic experience after the ego-attachments of self are dissolved? \nAnd what do we make of the next step\, the mystical revelation of everything being connected? Of contact with a transcendent power\, creativity\, ever-ness and beyond-ness?   \nWhat are mind and consciousness that emerge from brain function? What distinguishes a human mind from a fish mind? What is meaning\, that emotional core of relationship…and the stuff of psychotherapy?   \nThese and other questions will be considered in NCP’s MANIFEST MIND CONFERENCE\, May 17-18\, 2025. \nThis conference promises to be both world-class and intimate. It will provide a thoughtful immersion into group process further examining the decentered self in phenomena that arise in the group-as-a-whole to which each individual contributes. Before closing afternoon on Saturday\, Isabella Sledge and Cat Jenson offer a meditative soundbath for integration. Saturday evening we are offering an in-person concert illustrating the “decentered self” theme. The concert will feature PARTCH Ensemble and composer Anne LeBaron\, with excerpts of her opera Huxley’s Last Trip (previously titled LSD: The Opera).

SUMMARY:57th Anniversary Freud Lecture: "The Revolution in North American Psychoanalysis: Enhancement or Betrayal"
DESCRIPTION:57th ANNIVERSARY FREUD LECTURE: The Revolution in North American Psychoanalysis: Enhancement or Betrayal \nThe question asked in this paper is whether the various modifications taking place over the past 50 years are enhancing or undermining the core of psychoanalysis – namely the assumption that there are unconscious mental processes\, a theory of resistance and repression\, a key role for the importance of irresolvable conflicts originating in infantile sexual experience and the challenges referred to as the Oedipus complex.

SUMMARY:Psychological Nudity in Couples: From Sexual Arousal to Sexual Sadism
DESCRIPTION:This event will be presented by Professor Brett Kahr: Although we have all encountered naked human bodies across our lifetime\, very few of us have had the opportunity to explore the fully naked human mind\, namely\, the true contents of sexual thoughts and fantasies and unconscious wishes and unconscious fears.  In this presentation on “Psychological Nudity” and its impact on couples\, our speaker\, London-based Professor Brett Kahr\, will share the findings of his transatlantic research project\, in which he has examined the erotic fantasies of more than 25\,000 British and American adults\, aged eighteen years and over\, investigating the early infantile and early childhood origins of private masturbatory and coital fantasies and the subsequent impact of such private thoughts upon spousal relationships.

SUMMARY:Small Moments\, Big Consequences: Race and Culture Collisions in Clinical Work (New Date)
DESCRIPTION:This event will be presented by Dr. Paula Christian Kliger\, Dr. Kris Yi\, Dr. Lynne Jacobs\, and Dr. Holly Han. We are all imbedded in the sociocultural context in which we exist. The personal subjectivities of both therapist and patient are deeply affected by the experiences within their particular sociocultural context. Race and culture make their way into the clinical dyad in myriad ways both big and small with big consequences. The necessary exploration of these experiences\, both consciously and unconsciously\, exposes the therapist to vulnerable feelings which often require a willingness to acknowledge the limits of empathic understanding. Each presenter will share a case\, followed by a panel and audience discussion. More details to come.

SUMMARY:Film & Mind: Anora
DESCRIPTION:Anora (2024) is the fifth consecutive feature film from Sean Baker to focus on the lives of sex workers and similarly marginalized peoples. It tells the story of Anora\, or “Ani”\, a resilient and powerful young working class woman from the Russian immigrant community of Brighton Beach. The film is a riotous\, heartbreaking\, uplifting\, laugh-out-loud comedy about yielding to flawed yet hopeful fantasies while remaining true to desire. \nAni is a subject divided by complex feelings towards her heritage and daily life. These feelings extend equally towards her mother tongue\, which is something she would prefer to avoid. Even so\, her ability to speak and understand Russian makes her appealing to Ivan\, the truant son of an oligarch\, who struggles to speak within an American popular culture where he is a wildly privileged outsider. Ivan\, like Ani\, is searching for a means to avoid going home\, and through their shared experiences bloom a phantasmatic camaraderie that proves impossible for Ivan’s family to accept. Drama follows. \nHaving swept the Oscars with 5 wins\, including Best Picture\, this Academy Award winning film is an entertaining opportunity for an intimate encounter with the topic of psychoanalytic fantasy and the psychoanalytic act. Lacanian principles are sparsely understood in the wider psychotherapy community. Discussing this film provides opportunities to illustrate how illusions in mental life are colored by desire and the impossibility of fulfilment.

SUMMARY:Murder Suicide in Post-Katrina New Orleans A Perfect Storm of Multidetermined Causes
DESCRIPTION:This applied psychoanalytic presentation by W. Scott Griffies\, MD\, explores the phenomenon of murder-suicide in post-Katrina New Orleans. This presentation utilizes an object relational framework to understand the multidetermined causes of the murder-suicide. It highlights how disasters can bring individuals together in desperate situations\, destabilize social connections\, and exacerbate avoidant defenses through increased substance abuse. Furthermore\, it reveals how such traumatic events can reopen past wounds\, including PTSD and experiences of abuse\, creating a mental health crisis that extends far beyond the initial impact of the storm.  It also underscores the significance of interpersonal containment of toxic projections in the aftermath of a disaster\, particularly for individuals with intrapsychic vulnerabilities.

SUMMARY:Gender Turbulence: Clinical Interventions with Patricia Gherovici\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:In everyday language\, “gender” is often used to signify whether one identifies as male\, female\, or something beyond these categories. For some\, gender represents an expansive field of identity possibilities\, shaped by an evolving sense of self. For others\, it is synonymous with the biological reality of sex. As a verb\, “to gender” signifies an active process—one of division\, creation\, birth\, and generation—pointing to something one becomes rather than simply is. \nThrough her clinical practice\, Patricia Gherovici\, PhD has encountered both the unpredictability and the creative potential of gender. She has come to understand the body not as a fixed or given entity but as something assumed through a continuous process of embodiment—a becoming of the body. Many experiences of gender transition reveal that corporeal transformation alone is insufficient; something more is required to reclaim the body and shape a livable life. Drawing on concepts from both ancient and contemporary philosophy\, Dr. Gherovici reflects on what her work with trans-identified analysands has taught her as a psychoanalyst. \nPatricia Gherovici\, PhD\, is a psychoanalyst\, analytic supervisor\, and recipient of the 2020 Sigourney Award for her clinical and scholarly work with Latinx and gender variant communities. She is co-founder and director of the Philadelphia Lacan Group and Associate Faculty\, Psychoanalytic Studies Minor\, University of Pennsylvania (PSYS)\, Honorary Member at IPTAR the Institute for Psychoanalytic Training and Research in New York City\, Founding Member of Das Unbehagen\, co-founder and trustee of Pulsion: The International Institute of Psychoanalysis and Psychoanalytic Psychosomatics\, New York\, and teaches in the Philosophy Department at the New School for Social Research\, New York.

She published with Chris Christian: Psychoanalysis in the Barrios: Race\, Class\, and the Unconscious (Winner of the Gradiva® Award and the American Board and Academy of Psychoanalysis Book Prize; Routledge: 2019).

SUMMARY:Small Moments\, Big Consequences: Race and Culture Collisions in Clinical Work
DESCRIPTION:We are all imbedded in the sociocultural context in which we exist. The personal subjectivities of both therapist and patient are deeply affected by the experiences within their particular sociocultural context. Race and culture make their way into the clinical dyad in myriad ways both big and small with big consequences. The necessary exploration of these experiences\, both consciously and unconsciously\, exposes the therapist to vulnerable feelings which often require a willingness to acknowledge the limits of empathic understanding. Join Kris Yi\, Paula Christian Kliger\, Holly Han\, and Lynne Jacobs for an enlightening panel-style conference.

SUMMARY:Alan Karbelnig\, Ph.D. - The Perils and Promises of a Unified Clinical Model
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Karbelnig believes that psychoanalytic clinicians practice framing\, presence\, and engagement in their work with patients. They pursue the unconscious mind through focusing on transference and countertransference\, repetitive psycho-behavioral themes\, and dreams (and other signifiers of the unconscious).

SUMMARY:Psychoanalysis and Altruistic Living Kidney Donation: Toward a Psychodynamic Understanding of Donor Motivation
DESCRIPTION:Led by Prof. Dr. med. Lutz Goetzmann. Altruism itself is underexplored in psychoanalysis. The topic’s importance for learners is its investigation into a peculiar form of altruism. Living kidney donors are unusual\, extreme cases in which the acceptable costs to the benefactor far exceed an acceptable threshold for most people. There are many instances of helping a stranger in need\, but few would undergo major abdominal surgery with the attendant increased risk of kidney failure themselves. These extreme cases\, then\, reveal unique features that are otherwise absent\, highlight key factors less salient\, and offer new opportunities for hypothesis building in typical cases of altruism in psychoanalytic practice.

SUMMARY:The Unobtrusive Relational Analyst: Enactment\, Trauma and Time with Robert Grossmark\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Unrepresented and yet-to-be-suffered trauma and neglect announce themselves in the language of symptoms\, absence and emergent enactments in the treatment field. This course will address the challenges when working with patients whose trauma does not avail itself to symbolization and mentalization. These patients often suffer disturbances in the area of self- other definition\, continuity and regulation of self. In this course we will outline how the analyst can unobtrusively create the safe and robust space within which the fullness of the patient’s internal world and trauma can be realized and companioned such that the patient can be known in the register of illusion\, fragmentation and non- relatedness that are the signature of the residue of\ntrauma and neglect. The emphasis is on companioning and being-with the patient In their particular idiom and register rather than seeking to bring the patient into the analyst’s reality and understanding. This unique therapeutic relationship offers the space for the instantiation of time such that trauma can be located in memory and the past. This involves the un-telling and un-doing of prior “translations”\, personality structures and relational patterns such that being and time can be\nre-assembled and re-integrated.

SUMMARY:Mahler Symposium: It’s Not All About You: How Cultures Influence Toddlerhood
DESCRIPTION:How infants and toddlers separate and individuate from their families has been formally studied largely from a Euro-American viewpoint. Separation-individuation occurs simultaneously\, and intertwined with\, the development of attachment patterns\, but has received much less cross-cultural attention\, a deficit this conference will attempt to address. Cultures are highly variable in how they influence early child development\, and the presenters for this conference are leading experts in the influence of culture on development. \nPresenters:\nBambi Chapin\, PhD\nGillian Gillison\, PhD\nAlexandra M. Harrison\, MD\nEdward Tronick\, PhD \nModerator:\nLawrence D. Blum\, MD \nCo-Sponsored by The Psychoanalytic Center of Philadelphia & The Margaret S. Mahler Child Development Foundation\n54th ANNUAL MARGARET S. MAHLER SYMPOSIUM ON CHILD DEVELOPMENT

SUMMARY:Oedipus and Anti-Oedipus: On the Circularity of a Myth
DESCRIPTION:Led by Prof. Dr. med. Lutz Goetzmann. In this presentation\, I will present?theoretically?the three stages of the Oedipus complex according to Freud and Lacan. A clinical discussion will follow this. With regard to the first phallic-imaginary stage\, I will make references to Laplanche’s seduction theory\, particularly with regard to the attribution of gender identity. I will also introduce a preliminary traumatic stage and link this with two considerations: on the one hand\, the anti-Oedipal desiring-machines (Deleuze and Guattari) and\, on the other hand\, the idea of ??dédoublement (Danielle Quinodoz). This presentation concludes with the various fates of the Oedipus complex (shown graphically as a line\, loop\, or semi-circular garland).?
