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. Her single-authored books include The Puerto Rican Syndrome (Winner of the Gradiva® Award and the Boyer Prize; Other Press: 2003)\, Please Select Your Gender: From the Invention of Hysteria to the Democratizing of Transgenderism (Routledge: 2010)\, and Transgender Psychoanalysis: A Lacanian Perspective on Sexual Difference (Routledge: 2017). 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). She edited with Manya Steinkoler: Lacan On Madness: Madness Yes You Can’t (Routledge: 2015)\, Lacan\, Psychoanalysis and Comedy (Cambridge University Press: 2016)\, and most recently\, Psychoanalysis\, Gender and Sexualities: From Feminism to Trans* (Gradiva® Award ; Routledge: 2023)\, and The Routledge International Handbook of Psychoanalysis and Gender (Routledge\, forthcoming in 2026.)

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.

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).?

SUMMARY:The Innate Capacity for Representing Subjective Experience: The Infant’s Mind is Neither Primitive nor Pre-representational
DESCRIPTION:Anne Erreich\, PhD\, cites the prominence of theories which locate serious adult psychopathology in the pre-verbal infant’s inability to formulate or represent traumatic experience. The work of two such authors\, H. Levine and D.B. Stern\, is briefly considered. The frame of reference for this investigation is that clinical and academic research findings are highly relevant to psychoanalytic theorizing. It is argued that when such findings are considered\, a view of the infant with “primitive\,” “unformulated\,” or “unrepresented” states of mind has little evidence to support it.

SUMMARY:The IPA and NCP present Work Discussion Group for Catastrophic Situations
DESCRIPTION:“Work Discussion Group (WDG) for Catastrophic Situations” – Martha Harris Model\, Tavistock\nOrganized by the IPA PACE Committee & NCP. \nAbout the Work Discussion Group: \nThe Work Discussion Group (WDG) provides a reflective space for professionals working in catastrophic situations across diverse contexts such as hospitals\, schools\, and community centers. Grounded in the Martha Harris model developed at the Tavistock Clinic\, this approach helps workers process the emotional impact of their roles\, fostering deeper understanding and more effective intervention strategies. \nHistory and Key Characteristics of the Work Discussion Seminar\nInspired by Esther Bick’s infant observation method\, Martha Harris developed the Work Discussion model in the 1970s at the Tavistock Clinic. She aimed to extend psychoanalytic thinking beyond the consulting room into educational and caregiving environments. By integrating detailed observation of professional interactions with children\, adolescents\, and families\, this model enables practitioners—whether teachers\, social workers\, or healthcare providers—to recognize unconscious processes influencing their work. \nThe seminar requires participants to observe and narrate their work experiences in the first person\, fostering self-awareness and emotional containment. The discussion format allows professionals to analyze the dynamics of their interactions\, enhancing their understanding of the intrapsychic world and its manifestation in interpersonal relationships. \nBy applying Bick’s observational method in this context\, Harris emphasized the importance of recognizing emotional factors in professional relationships. This reflective process deepens comprehension of the professional’s mental state and the individuals they serve\, ultimately improving intervention strategies in preventive and therapeutic settings. \nPresenters:\nMónica Cardenal (Argentina) Training analyst of Buenos Aires Psychoanalytical Association.

SUMMARY:Relational Psychoanalysis:  In a New Key
DESCRIPTION:Morning Focus: Core Competencies in Relational Psychoanalysis \nDrawing from Dr. Roy Barsness’ text\, Core Competencies in Relational Psychoanalysis: A Guide to Practice\, Study\, and Research\, this session invites participants to identify and explore the seven core disciplines of relational psychoanalysis\, as revealed through his qualitative research. The workshop will deepen participants’ understanding of relationally oriented theory and clinical practice\, with a special focus on radical openness\, courageous speech\, and disciplined spontaneity. It offers a valuable opportunity for practitioners to assess and reflect on their own clinical approaches through a relational psychoanalytic lens. \nAfternoon Focus: Psychodynamic Supervision \nIn the afternoon\, Dr. Roy Barsness shifts focus to his latest book\, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy in a New Key. Traditional supervisory relationships often follow a didactic model\, where the supervisor provides guidance\, critique\, and feedback. In contrast\, this seminar introduces an innovative supervision framework that emphasizes affect over cognition and places the therapist’s subjectivity at the center of understanding the patient’s internal and interpersonal world. The discussion will also highlight a reimagining of analytic interpretations as complex\, evolving dialogues.

SUMMARY:Writing and Psychoanalysis
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Harold Braswell\, PhD & Nikki Karalekas\, PhD. This course will explore the relationship between writing and psychoanalysis through a group workshop process. We will begin by holding two courses exploring the connection between psychoanalysis and writing: How do psychoanalysts work with difficulties that can arise during the creative process? How do we support our patients’ creativity and our own? How might we give peers psychoanalytically minded feedback on their writing? We will then spend a day together reading and providing feedback on each other’s writing. Prior writing experience is not required.
