SUMMARY:The Dead Mother Complex Revisited: Exploring Vicissitudes and Spectral Dynamics in Contemporary Clinical Practice
DESCRIPTION:This seminar is presented Afsaneh Alisobhani\, Psy.D\, FIPA will explore André Green’s seminal paper\, The Dead Mother\, delving into how the experience of an emotionally unavailable maternal figure—due to loss\, depression\, or trauma —shapes psychic development\, attachment\, and identity formation. Green’s concept provides profound insights into the inner worlds of patients\, particularly those he describes as “non-neurotics\,” whose psychological struggles transcend traditional neurotic frameworks. Expanding on Green’s theoretical constructs\, this presentation will propose a spectrum-based approach to the Dead Mother Complex\, extending its relevance to neurotic patients as well. This broadened perspective aims to deepen our understanding of early relational disruptions and their lasting impact on psychic structure and clinical work.

SUMMARY:White Dominant Norms in Mixed-Race Couples with Adam Rodriguez\, PsyD and Julie Friend\, LCSW
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, we will consider how discussions of race are avoided in interracial couples. The interracial couple’s dissociation from racial stratification leaves the couple\nensconced in the paranoid-schizoid position\, where Internal and external pressures contribute to the couble enacting a monoracial identification aligned with white dominant norms. These racialized dynamics have an impact on mixed-race children. An important element of a mixed-race person’s racial self-conceptualization and laentity Is derivea from their Internalization or the Interracial primal scene\, whieh can contrioute to a monoracial identification or split object parts in mixed- race individuals when racial stratification is denied or disavowed by their interracial parents. It is necessary when working with interracial couples to not only explicitly discuss their mixed-race status\, but to do so in a manner that allows the couple to explore their shared unconscious phantasies\, projections\, and unconscious assumption of roles in the relationship\, with an increased awareness of how those dynamics are hierarchically\nracialized to maintain white-dominant cultural ideals.

SUMMARY:Timelessness\, the Repetition Compulsion and the Problem of 'Reversibility' in the Psychoanalytic Treatment of Severely Traumatized Patient
DESCRIPTION:This paper deals with the problem of reversibility and the limitations of the psychoanalytic psychotherapy for the severely traumatized patient. The repetition compulsion is understood as failing reparation of the damaged internal world. Two clinical cases are presented to discuss the problem of working through mourning and guilt. Final considerations address the role of remembering and forgetting as a pathway to psychic development and a healthier integration of the self.

SUMMARY:The Use of Dreams ?in Creative Psychoanalytic Transformations
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Marilyn Charles\, PhD\, ABPP \nNowhere do we see our psychic struggles so clearly as in the world of dreams\, where images call to our attention the emotionally-charged\, aesthetically-driven aspects of experience\, and patterned relationships help reveal aspects of our stories that have remained hidden. Dream images afford metaphors embedded in the person’s own experiences and history\, providing a grounding through which the person might more fully discover themselves. Following Bion’s suggestion that the purpose of psychoanalysis is to enhance the capacities for feeling\, thinking and dreaming\, Bionian field theorists conceptualize psychoanalytic work as a dreaming process through which dream elements become elaborated into meaningful symbols. Working with dreams allows analyst and analysand to avoid becoming ensconced in conceptions that might obscure the issues at hand\, but rather to learn to play together with possibilities. This process affords sufficient displacement to allow condensed\, highly personalized meanings to formulate themselves into symbols and characters that can be recognized\, worked with\, and integrated into narratives through which personal transformations might occur.

SUMMARY:Community Psychoanalysis
DESCRIPTION:Psychoanalysis has been criticized from its beginnings as a treatment that is only available to the genteel and affluent; however\, at the same time\, it is a treatment that\, from very early in its development\, has been seen as a potentially powerful force in the larger world: shortly after WWI\, “Freud’s free clinics”\, as described by Elizabeth Danto\, began to appear in working class communities.\nThis should not surprise us: after all\, psychoanalysis was revolutionary precisely because it considered the life experience of the analysand as central to the problems that led them to analysis: how could it not be connected to the larger community\, as well?\nIn this class\, we will explore the history and ongoing development of the concept of community psychoanalysis\, starting with the work of Freud and other early analysts\, and continuing through the work of Erich Fromm\, Frantz Fanon and other groups\, such as the initial appearance of psychoanalysis in Ireland in the 1920s\, noting how psychoanalysis has been widely used in the larger cultural context\, e.g.\, how it came to be seen as a central focus of the Harlem Renaissance\, especially in the work of W.E.B. DuBois. From this\, we will move on to discuss ways in which community psychoanalysis is practiced today\, and how we can think about how it might be brought to bear in our communities now. Presenter is J. Todd Dean\, MD

SUMMARY:Scientific Meeting: “Love and Intimacy in the Age of Equality: Introducing Dialogue Therapy for Couples and  Other Adult Pairs”
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:Polly Young-Eisendrath\, Ph.D.\,\nHistorically\, people in committed relationships have felt shame about separating. Now\,\nthey feel ashamed when they stay and their demands for equality are not met. Many of\nus expect fairness and reciprocity\, whether or not we know anything about negotiation.\nWe expect to be seen and known and to speak freely and authentically. These\nexpectations create anxiety and confusion for intimate partners and other adult pairs\n(e.g. adult child and parent)\, contributing to cycles of humiliation\, rage and blame. One\npainful outcome is an epidemic level of estrangement among families and individuals.

SUMMARY:Ellen Safier\, LCSW on The Lost Daughter
DESCRIPTION:Explore the mysterious and haunting ways activated childhood memories can play out in our adult lives. \nThe Lost Daughter\, which premiered in 2021\, is Maggie Gyllenhaal’s directorial debut based on Elena Ferrante’s novel of the same name. It centers on the character of Leda\, a 48 year old literature professor who is vacationing by herself on a Greek island. The entry of a large boisterous Greek American family activates memories and feelings that get acted out in ways that are both mysterious and haunting. \nOlivia Coleman was nominated for best actress and gives an amazing performance. Watching a young mother in the group struggle with her young child\, she is filled with memories and flashbacks of her own experience with two young daughters. The New York Times notes both the film’s “empathetic gaze alongside Colman’s spiky\, heartbreaking performance.”

SUMMARY:Psychodynamic Psychopharmacology:  Caring for the Treatment-Resistant Patient
DESCRIPTION:Discussion with Author David Mintz\, MD with interview by Catherine Stevenson\, MD \nThis event would be of interest to a general audience of psychodynamic clinicians as well as those who prescribe medications. Though the book is generally aimed at prescribers\, with a framework for how to integrate psychodynamic understandings and techniques to address dynamics driving treatment resistance\, Dr. Mintz and Dr. Stevenson plan to focus their interview on the first part of the book. Those sections focus on (1) how the data challenges assumptions about mind-body dualism\, (2) ways that pharmacotherapy and the prescribing act (and interprofessional relations) are suffused with dynamics\, and (3) psychodynamics driving treatment resistance in patients who are prescribed medications. \nThe histories of psychoanalysis and biomedical psychiatry have promoted a polarization between these disciplines. Often\, this has led psychoanalysts to adopt a narrowly biomedical view of psychopharmacology (while simultaneously being critical of biopsychiatry for holding a biomedically-reductionist focus). Under scrutiny\, a dualistic understanding of pharmacotherapy breaks down. In many cases\, psychiatric medications are even more symbolically-active than they are directly biologically-active. Psychoanalysis has much to say about symbolic aspects of pharmacotherapy and clinically-meaningful aspects of the therapeutic relationship that can be helpful to psychiatry. At the same time\, polarization has promoted a general neglect of interactions of pharmacotherapy and psychoanalysis\, despite the fact that a large percentage of analysands are now receiving both treatments. In this discussion\, we will consider a specific model for integrating psychodynamics and pharmacotherapy\, Psychodynamic Psychopharmacology\, as well as broader questions of the relationship of psychoanalysis and pharmacotherapy.

SUMMARY:Lost Classics: "On Bearing the Unbearable States of Mind" by Ruth Riesenberg-Malcolm
DESCRIPTION:What makes a thought or feeling unbearable and how might psychoanalytic psychotherapy help us understand how our patients are able to bear (or avoid bearing) unbearable states of mind? In this group of clinically-driven essays\, the Chilean psychoanalyst\, Riesenberg-Malcolm examines how we think about what is unbearable and what it means for the therapist to bear what the patient had previously been unable to do on their own. Her thoughtful and incisive group of essays captures the diversity of ways in which patients communicate intolerably painful states of mind\, laying the groundwork for meaningful analytic work when we are faced with these seemingly insoluble dilemmas. The author’s extensive clinical details and sensitive writing style bring to life some of the more abstract Kleinian concepts and lend shape\, depth\, and dimensionality to this particular\nperspective on the process of analytic work.

SUMMARY:Study Group - Lessons from Loewald
DESCRIPTION:An Online Reading and Discussion Group facilitated by Donald R. Ross\, MD & Asli Baykal\, PhD\, LCSW \nA Note from the Program Chair: Many clinicians have heard of psychoanalytic treatment as a process of transforming ghosts into ancestors. However\, there is much more than the ancestor concept to be learned from the writings of Hans Loewald. This study group will offer an introduction to his ideas about development and treatment. The group will be co-facilitated by Don Ross\, who has previously taught about Loewald’s theories\, and Asli Baykal\, who found a bridge between her two fields of study– cultural anthropology and psychoanalysis– in Loewald’s work. ********** JoAnn Ponder\, PhD \nHans Loewald (1906-1993) was a German-American psychiatrist-psychoanalyst\, a comprehensive and original theorist\, an innovator in integrating psychoanalytic schools of thought. He combined drive theory\, object relations\, self-psychology\, interpersonal theory\, and sociocultural factors in his theories\, paving the way for an increased interest in intersubjectivity in psychoanalysis. He viewed the psyche as embedded in the infant-parent interaction and emphasized the role of internalization in development and treatment. According to his view of therapeutic action\, the psychoanalyst’s interpretations promote insight and also provide a new object relational experience. In this manner\, the ghosts from the patient’s past that haunt their current life are gradually transformed into ancestors. While Loewald was not as well-known as other psychoanalytic scholars in his lifetime\, there recently has been a resurgence of interest in his thinking. This renewed interest led to the founding of the Hans W. Loewald Center in New York in 2022\, dedicated to promulgating his legacy and vision of psychoanalysis.    \nThis study group will explore Loewald’s ideas and consider their application to clinical practice. The group will be limited to 15 members. Registrants should have a solid grounding in psychoanalytic theory and be willing to read the assigned articles. The readings will be supplied to group members.

SUMMARY:Theories of Mind: An Introduction to Working Psychoanalytically
DESCRIPTION:This course serves as an introduction to and overview of major schools of thought within the psychoanalytic tradition\, including Freud\, Ego Psychology\, Klein\, Object Relations\, Winnicott and many more.  We will focus on the distinction between theories of mind (metapsychology) which are metaphysical or structural and focus on the condition for the possibility of psychological experience\, and theories of psychology\, which tend to be focused on the content of psychological experience and relating. Each school of thought we examine will incorporate both a theory of mind as well as a theory of psychology.

SUMMARY:Talking About Money
DESCRIPTION:Some say the love of it is the root of all evil. Others do not believe they can ever have enough. Therapists can\, at times\, avoid discussing it as much as anyone. Money. This course will examine how we talk about money in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. We will begin with a general overview of the relationship of money and psychoanalysis\, including a consideration of the ethics and politics of the sliding scale. Then we will consider how to explore the fee with patients as part of the analytic process. And\, finally\, we will discuss how to work with patients and analysands who have problems with money. Classes will be discussion-based\, and students will be asked to come prepared to talk about two articles per week.

SUMMARY:?3rd Annual Marianne Goldberger Memorial Lecture  "The Image of the Female Body:  Three Challenges to Conventional Interpretations of Celebrated Ancient Civilizations"
DESCRIPTION:Scholars like Sir James Fraser\, Erich Neumann\, Joseph Campbell\, Will Durant and most Biblical Scholars of the19th and early 20th centuries wrote persuasive stories about the meanings of the figurines found by archeologists studying Prehistory\, Ancient Mesopotamia\, and Ancient Egypt. These scholars argued that the figurines represented mother goddesses\, fertility\, and perfect images of elite or royal Egyptian women. \nModern feminist archeologists have questioned these visual tropes and have discovered that entirely different realities lay behind the stereotyped images. Like the fixed and usually idealized mental images of their parents that our patients carry from childhoods\, these stereotyped images are difficult to dislodge. With new archeological findings and depictions of the figurines\, I shall paint a very different picture of the ancient icons\, illustrating how an analytic perspective of the past can reveal fresh and liberating insights into both the past and the present.

SUMMARY:Risking Intimacy and Creative Transformation in Psychoanalysis
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Lauren Levine\, Ph.D. \nIn this presentation\, Dr. Lauren Levine will reflect on the power of stories to create shared symbolic meaning and coherence out of ungrieved trauma. Through evocative clinical stories\, she will explore creativity as transformative\, emergent in the clinical process\, drawing on film\, dance\, and literature and dreams as frames for experience exceeding what words alone can capture. As an analyst and writer\, Dr. Levine is interested in the stories we tell\, individually and collectively\, the interstitial gaps created by unmetabolized trauma\, and that potential for an intimate psychoanalytic process to help patients become the storytellers of their own lives.
