SUMMARY:Treating Psychosis Today: A Lacanian Perspective with Stijn Vanheule\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:This presentation first explores key concepts from Jacques Lacan’s psychoanalytic theory of psychosis\, highlighting its role as one of several ways humans navigate existential dilemmas such as sexuality and love. According to Lacan’s 1950s theory\, psychosis arises when conventional frameworks for making sense of reality collapse due to the absence of the so-called Name-of-the-Father\, the central organizing element of symbolically structured mental life. When life events bring existential dilemmas to the forefront\, psychotic episodes may be triggered. \nBuilding on this foundation\, the talk examines how Lacan’s later works from the 1960s and 1970s—particularly his ideas on the fundamental non-rapport structuring mental life—further refine our understanding of psychotic experiences. Particular attention will be given to the role of creativity and invention in overcoming psychotic crises. \nFinally\, the implications of the Lacanian model of psychosis for clinical practice will be discussed\, with a focus on ethical positioning\, addressing the unconscious\, handling transference\, and navigating crisis and stability in psychosis.

SUMMARY:Film & Mind: All We Imagine As Light
DESCRIPTION:All We Imagine As Light is a psychological journey of revelation\, a film of connection\, memory\, and the intricate emotional landscapes that bind human experience. Set in the vibrant\, complex world of contemporary Mumbai\, the film weaves an intimate narrative that delves deep into the inner worlds of two women navigating the delicate intersections of personal desire\, societal expectations\, and inner emotional truth. \nEach character becomes a landscape of unspoken longings\, suppressed memories\, and quiet rebellions against the invisible boundaries that circumscribe their lives. Director Payal Kapadia crafts a meditation on the inner self—showing how our memories\, dreams\, and unacknowledged desires create invisible architectures that both constrain and liberate us. \nVisually poetic and emotionally intricate\, “All We Imagine As Light” transforms personal narrative into a universal exploration of human consciousness. It suggests that our most profound connections—to ourselves\, to each other\, to the world around us—are built not on grand gestures\, but on the subtle\, almost imperceptible moments of genuine emotional recognition.

SUMMARY:The Ubiquitousness and Intensity of Countertransference in Child and Adolescent Psychoanalysis
DESCRIPTION:Alan Sugarman\, PhD will be discussing some of his ideas regarding the prominent place that countertransference has in child and adolescent work. He notes the existence of a “Broader\nField” or “Total Situation” when analyzing children and adolescents because of the various roles required of the child analyst i.e. analyst\, developmental object\, and real object; because of the child’s developmentally appropriate orientation to action; and the need to involve parents and others (siblings\, nannies\, teachers).

SUMMARY:Peter Shabad\, PhD - Integrating Trauma and Shame with Projected Images of Death
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Peter Shabad will briefly describe how the origins of chronic shame emerge from chronic experiences of rejected vulnerability at the hands of one’s parents. These cumulative experiences of trauma may be viewed as the psychic loss of a physically present parent\, in which one’s expectant hope for a wished-for parent is continually frustrated by the actuality of the real parent. The chronic experiences of hope and disappointments are demoralizing sources of shame and often covered over in the necessity of developing the hard defensive armor of becoming an adult.

SUMMARY:DPC Professional Development Workshop - Into the Wild’s of Melancholia By Derek Hook
DESCRIPTION:The diagnostic category of melancholia\, described by Freud\, still has much to teach us in respect of effective clinical psychoanalytic treatments\, even if reference to the term is largely absent in diagnostic debates. Melancholia\, as understood by Freud\, involves identification with a loved then lost and subsequently hated object\, resulting in aggression being directed against the subject’s own ego. A Lacanian psychoanalytic approach to melancholia adds to this clinical picture: a ‘terror of closeness’ (avoidance of intimacy)\, difficulties in situating oneself in long-term symbolic roles\, and reveries of an end (images of something beyond one’s current life).

SUMMARY:Major Issues in Contemporary Psychoanalytic Technique
DESCRIPTION:Led by Salman Akhtar\, MD. \nWhile retaining the ‘trio of guideposts’ (Pine\, 1997) constituted by anonymity\, abstinence\, and neutrality\, contemporary psychoanalysis has witnessed many changes in its theoretical base and clinical praxis. These include (1) a greater developmental orientation\, (ii) a tendency to judiciously accommodate the frame to the patient’s sociocultural ethos\, (iii) a greater appreciation of bilingualism as it affects associations and revelations and\, paradoxically\, of the multiple functions of silence\, (iv) refinement of the concepts and uses of both transference and countertransference\,(v) the deployment of development-facilitating interventions\, (vi) responsiveness to the religious and spiritual dimensions of the patient’s lives\, and (vii) inclusion of newer and unusual interventions like refusing to listen to certain kinds of material or invocation of imaginary interlocutors for the purposes of interpretation.

SUMMARY:Poetry and Psychoanalysis: Theory and Technique
DESCRIPTION:Led by Salman Akhtar\, MD. \nThis presentation will open by discussing what poetry is in actuality. What are its components? From where does it originate? How does it exert a healing effect upon mental pain? Moving on from such issues\, the presentation will highlight three links between poetry and psychoanalysis. These refer to the presence in the clinical hour of (i) poetic sentiment\, (ii) poetic speech\, and (iii) poetic specimen. Each will be elucidated in detail and with the help of socio-clinical vignettes. This presentation aims to demonstrate that\, through the affirmative holding and partial unmasking of the instinctual-epistemic conflation in verse and free association\, both poetry and psychoanalysis seek to transform the private into shared\, the hideous into elegant\, and the unfathomable into accessible.

SUMMARY:Psychoanalysis and Cinema: AI and Therapeutic Action in ‘HER’; Will She Replace Us?
DESCRIPTION:If virtual\, discussion starts at 4:15pm CDT. Please use link to learn all details.  This film screening explores how psychotherapists and psychoanalysts are increasingly confronted with the question of whether an AI platform (ChatGPT\, therapy bots\, or a future operating system) can replace the therapy relationship and to what degree it can mimic it. This talk looks at the potential and limits of AI therapy from a multi-theoretical perspective of attachment\, mentalization\, the depressive position\, and desire and fantasy.

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).

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:Problem-Focused Psychodynamic Psychotherapy with Fred Busch\, MD
DESCRIPTION:Fred Busch\, MD\, speaks about Problem-Focused Psychodynamic Psychotherapy\, a modified psychoanalytic treatment approach that addresses patient’s specific problems\, including  symptoms\, personality issues\, relationship struggles\, and behavioral difficulties. The primary facets of this treatment approach will be described\, including identification of problems and their associated triggers and feelings\, and developing a psychodynamic formulation to aid therapists in addressing specific areas of difficulty. Modifications of psychodynamic techniques to target problems\, including use of the transference\, will be described. Values of this approach in managing termination and helping the patient to develop psychodynamic skills will also be discussed.

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.
