SUMMARY:Philosophy\, Heidegger and Hans W. Loewald’s Early Papers
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Elizabeth Brett\, PhD\nDiscussant: Alfred Margulies\, MD\nFrom his first publications\, Hans Loewald presents a model of mother?infant unity\, in which psychic development takes place in the tension systems of an interpersonal field. He outlines the almost undetectable and emergent processes in the psyche as psychological functioning begins to form and evolve in its earliest stages\, proposing a conception of development based on successive levels of differentiation and integration. All of these proposals\, influenced by Heidegger and Loewald’s philosophic training\, challenged basic concepts of Freud’s and of the psychoanalytic theory of the day. Many\, especially early readers\, were confused by these challenges\, particularly given Loewald’s strong agreements and disagreements with carefully\, explicated positions of Freud’s; by the magnitude of the theoretical questions under consideration; and by the attraction to and suspicion of Loewald’s poetic writing.

SUMMARY:Saturday Salon: Identifying and Treating “Psychotic Pockets” in Relational Psychotherapy
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Lawrence Hedges\, Ph.D.\, Psy.D.\, ABPP:\nOver the past two decades\, it has become increasingly clear that the earliest of life’s experiences have left “pockets” of primitive relational patterns in many otherwise well-developed people. Hedges will discuss the nature of early relational experience and how early experiences of distress often leave marks on later personality functioning\, and how these experiences can be addressed in Relational Psychotherapy.

SUMMARY:COWAP: “Women\, The Longest Revolution”: Session 3: In Her Own Voice
DESCRIPTION:Session 3: In Her Own Voice: Challenging Theories of Women’s Development \nParticipants: Nancy Kulish and Catherine Mallouh \nRegistration Deadline: December 11\, 2024 \nFor additional information including the program flyer\, speaker bios\, and information about future sessions please visit the informational program page: \n\nCOWAP: “Women\, The Longest Revolution” Presenter Biographies \n\nDescription: \nNotions of woman and the feminine have changed dramatically over the last decades and this is reflected in how women perceive themselves\, how they are perceived by society\, and how they are understood from a psychoanalytic perspective. This program will look at the ways in which Nancy Kulish has transformed and enriched psychoanalytic thinking about female development\, femininity and gender. With Deanna Holtzman\, she broke new ground in reformulating Freud’s notion of the feminine Oedipal and radically incorporating a feminist perspective on women’s sexuality and girl’s and women’s experiences\, a perspective which has deepened our understanding of the early relationship to the mother. She has also considered the female body and women’s conflicts around competition and envy. Her ideas have had implications for clinical work with women and the struggles they face both internally and in the society at large. Catherine Mallouh will be in conversation with Nancy about her the development of her ideas and how she views sexuality and gender and women’s development now.

SUMMARY:Lacan’s Early and Later Work on Love
DESCRIPTION:What do we mean by the simple word “love”? Do we mean passion? Affection? Lust? Attachment? Friendship? And how could love be so many different things to different people\, and even to one person at many different times?   \nPsychoanalysts have long been divided over the question of whether to condemn love as a form of self-deception or as the greatest of all psychical accomplishments. The situation becomes far more complex when\, instead of simply giving love the thumbs-up or thumbs-down\, we raise the thorny question\, “What is Love?” But an all-encompassing theory of love is not possible and probably not even desirable! Instead\, we will develop further a deeper appreciation for the complexity of the human experience of love and passion\, relying on Lacan’s registers of the Symbolic\, the Imaginary\, and the Real.  \n“Love is giving what you don’t have.” \nThis claim by Lacan will be explored from several perspectives\, as will the notion that in love\, we don’t simply give what we don’t have; we love other people for what they don’t have. We love them for their foibles\, failings\, defects\, inabilities\, and insecurities. In a word\, we love them\, not in spite of their warts\, but because of their warts. Time permitting\, Lacan’s later glosses on love\, including smoldering and “hainamoration\,” will be laid out. \nLearning Objectives:  \nAs a result of attending this session\, participants should be able to: \nExplain what is meant by Lacan’s thesis\, “love is giving what you don’t have”\nSummarize the many facets of what we mean by the word “love”\nDescribe three different ways Lacan thinks about love\, from the standpoints of the three registers of the Symbolic\, the Imaginary\, and the Real\nDiscuss how love involves loving “the partner’s ‘warts’” (or flaws or defects)\nCompare the differences between love\, desire\, and jouissance\nExplain why Freud says it is impossible to “love thy neighbor”\nExplain three reasons\, according to Freud and Lacan\, why we distrust love on the one hand and idealize it on the other\nThere will be a 90-minute break for lunch from 11:45 am – 1:15 pm. (If attending in person\, a list of area restaurants will be available.)

SUMMARY:Meet the Author: Psychodynamic Psychopharmacology:  Caring for the Treatment-Resistant Patient
DESCRIPTION:Discussion with author David Mintz\, MD with discussion by Catherine Stevenson\, MD \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 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

SUMMARY:Psychopathology and the Psychoanalytic Process
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Avedis Panajian\, Ph.D.\, ABPP in Clinical Psychology \nDr. Panajian will discuss the differences between neurotic\, borderline\, and psychotic mental functioning. Personality disorders with severe and not-so-severe psychotic functioning will be reviewed. The impact of psychiatry\, culture\, and some analytic practice that views suffering as destructive for our patients will be discussed. Destructive suffering from creative suffering will be discussed with clinical examples. Healthy primitive mental states will be distinguished from pathological primitive mental states. The impact and the damage on analytic practice since DSM-3 will be discussed. Misconceptions of the meaning of regression will be explored. Dr. Panajian will discuss the psychoanalytic process with various types of psychopathologies. Misconceptions in understanding and in the treatment of narcissistic organizations will be focused. Enactments that hinder and enactments that foster growth will be explored with examples. The conference will not be didactic in nature. Dr. Panajian will ask for questions and comments at various points during his lecture.

SUMMARY:Roundtable #6: Addressing the Mental Health Crisis in the Second Half of Life
DESCRIPTION:Part of the 2024 Virtual Roundtable Series\,\nMinding the Gaps: Addressing Mental Health Through the Life Cycle \nErik Erikson outlined specific tasks associated with developmental stages across the life cycle. In Erikson’s model generativity\, stagnation\, ego integrity\, and despair are all potential aspects of development in the second half of life. Aging brings a crisis and an opportunity to revisit and psychically rework all of Erikson’s eight stages. In this panel\, three experts will examine the mental health challenges in the second half of life including: loneliness and the importance of relationships\, loss of physical and cognitive capacities and adaptations to these changes\, and spiritual concerns related to meaning\, purpose\, and approaching the end of life. A crisis may emerge when physical and cognitive health declines\, when stigma increases isolation\, and when persistent economic and healthcare disparities threaten the social safety net. Our three panelists will discuss these issues and ways to address mental health in later life. \nRobert Waldinger\, MD is the Director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development\, a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst\, author\, and Zen priest. He will speak about what he has learned through the Harvard Study and the importance of social connections and relationships throughout the life cycle\, but particularly in the second half of life. Willard Ashley\, MDiv\, DMin\, DH\, Rev\, SCP\, NCPsyA\, CGP is both a psychoanalyst and Protestant minister. He will speak about developmental challenges in the second half of life and the importance of community and generativity in sustaining mental health. Nancy McWilliams\, PhD will speak about the challenges of physical health\, loss\, transition\, wisdom\, and generativity in the second half of life. Through this roundtable\, participants will learn about the developmental and mental health challenges in the second half of life and what research\, clinical practice\, and cumulative wisdom can teach us. \nPanelists: \nWillard Ashley\, MDiv\, DMIN\, DH\, REv\, SCP\, NCPsyA\, CGP – Psychoanalyst\, Consultant\, and Motivational Speaker in New Jersey\nNancy McWilliams\, PhD – Visiting Professor Emerita at Rutgers University’s Graduate School of Applied & Professional Psychology with a private practice in Lambertville\, NJ\nRobert Waldinger\, MD – Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School\, Director of the Center for Psychodynamic Therapy and Research at Massachusetts General Hospital\, and Director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development

SUMMARY:Friday Night Guest Lecture: Relating Racially: Shifting Between We\, They\, and I Senses of Self
DESCRIPTION:Relating Racially: Shifting Between We\, They\, and I Senses of Self – Michelle Stephens\, LP\, PhD (Live)\n2024-25 Friday Night Guest Lecture Series \nPsychoanalysts and psychotherapists are currently showing considerable interest in\, and concern over\, the relevance of different forms of racism to psychological suffering and to the development of the field of psychoanalysis itself. This presentation aims to address gaps in current practice and clinical knowledge by reviewing recent approaches to the question of psychoanalysis and race. Stephens will foreground her own approach\, using a combination of psychoanalytic theories of large group identity formation (Volkan)\, epidermalization (Fanon)\, and multiple self-states (Bromberg) to offer insights and knowledge for improving both psychoanalytic theory and practice. The presentation ends with a discussion of how a meaningful engagement with black feminist theory\, the field that first theorized the intersectionality (Crenshaw) of our personal and social identities\, would be useful for the development of psychoanalyst’s and psychotherapist’s ability to navigate complex issues around racial\, cultural and ethnic identities in clinical settings.

SUMMARY:Book Review and Discussion - Playing and Vitality in Psychoanalysis  by Giuseppe Civitarese\, MD\, PhD & Antonino Ferro\, MD
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Mark Winborn\, PhD \nIn our discussion\, we’ll review some of the major ideas of Bion and Ogden that the authors reinterpret or recontextualize within field theory\, bringing these ideas alive through clinical vignettes. We will also touch on Winnicott’s transformative ideas on play\, Ogden’s depiction of “aliveness and deadness” in psychoanalysis\, as well as his call to pursue psychoanalysis from an ontological perspective rather than an epistemological perspective\, and Daniel Stern’s research on forms of vitality in infants. Time permitting\, there will also be some comparison between the agenda that the authors intended for this volume and some of the parallel themes Jung was developing during the time of split from Freud and the psychoanalytic community. \nHopefully\, by the end of the evening\, we will all be in a subversive mood and more inclined to lean towards playing and vitality during our next forays into the playgrounds we refer to as offices or consulting rooms!

SUMMARY:How Our Work as Analysts Changes Us as Persons
DESCRIPTION:Based on 25 years of psychoanalytic and intensive psychotherapy work with patients and his experiences as a teacher\, supervisor\, and mentor\, Dr. Klafter will describe how psychoanalysts are affected by their relationships with their patients. Drawing on object relations theories of psychological development\, he will describe how the patient inhabits the analyst’s representational world\, and how the analytic situation catalyzes unprecedented changes in the analyst’s self-representations and adult personality development. Dr. Klafter will also discuss how these changes can impact the analyst’s marriage and romantic relationships\, parenting\, political views\, religious beliefs\, and friendships.

SUMMARY:God’s-eye-view: The Evangelical Patient on the Couch
DESCRIPTION:Join for us for a presentation with Dr. Jason Jost followed by a panel discussion with Dr. Earl Bland and Dr. Michelle Harwell. \nPsychoanalysts unfamiliar with the worldview and child-rearing practices of Evangelicals may unintentionally replicate the patient’s childhood experience of accommodating a transcendent\, authoritative perspective of themselves and others. To bridge this cultural gap\, Dr. Jost highlights key aspects of evangelical child-rearing and their potential impact on a child’s emotional development\, sharing from his own personal childhood experience as well as his work as both a patient and an analyst. With this contextual understanding\, Dr. Jost suggests developmentally supportive attitudes that\, while important for any analytic dyad\, are particularly critical for patients whose childhood emotional experiences were organized by an evangelical blueprint. This program aims to enhance cultural understanding and empathy in treating individuals raised in evangelical Christian environments.

SUMMARY:How Relational Sensibility Enhances Psychotherapeutic Experiencing
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Lawrence Hedges\, PhD\, PsyD\, ABPP.  \nTechnologically driven research during the last three decades in the fields of neuroscience\, infant research\, and relational psychotherapy has made clear the importance of the ongoing impact of experiencing and processing the relationship in psychotherapy. In this course Dr. Hedges will review the ways that psychotherapists of all persuasions are coming to recognize and work with relational variables in their practices. And how relational sensibility makes a significant difference to both clients and therapists not only in overall outcome but in the richness of everyday experience of both client and therapist.

SUMMARY:Panel Discussion: Understanding the Clinical Process from Multiple Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:Description: Three esteemed psychoanalysts will discuss a case presented by a fourth-year candidate\, each from their distinctive theoretical orientation. This stimulating panel presentation will provide a glimpse into the spectrum of psychoanalytic approaches and their convergences and divergences. Following the presentations\, a moderated discussion will encourage the exchange of ideas and perspectives. \nBio: Charles M. Cutler\, Ph.D.\, has a clinical psychology practice that involves working with adults\, seniors\, and adolescents. Based in La Jolla\, California\, he works with individuals\, couples and families who present with a wide variety of clinical problems. Problems may be acute or chronic\, and Dr. Cutler will tailor the treatment to each situation. Dr. Cutler is a psychologist and psychoanalyst with advanced training. He is a faculty member of the San Diego Psychoanalytic Center where he teaches and supervises psychiatrists\, psychologists\, and social workers.  \nAlan Sugarman\, Ph.D. is a licensed clinical psychologist\, practicing in Solana Beach. He provides psychotherapy and psychoanalysis to children\, adolescents\, and adults\, and works with parents on parenting issues. He is also a Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the University of California\,  San Diego. Before coming to San Diego Dr. Sugarman was a postdoctoral fellow at the Menninger Foundation and a faculty member of the Yale University Department of Psychiatry where he was the Chief Psychologist at the Yale Psychiatric Institute. Dr. Sugarman has almost 90 professional publications and is a frequently invited speaker and teacher at local\, national\, and international psychoanalytic institutes\, organizations\, and conferences.  \nRichard Tuch\, M.D. believes strongly in the value of talking treatments and the thrust of his practice is seeing patients in individual psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. Dr. Tuch believes in fashioning treatments that are custom tailored to the unique needs of each individual he sees. He maintains an active interest in\, and has published papers that explore the factors that make psychotherapy effective. Dr. Tuch capitalizes on his classical training in psychoanalysis by fashioning modern treatments that address the underlying factors that keep individuals from maximizing their potential. Dr. Tuch’s approach to treatment takes into consideration current thinking about such topics as attachment theory\, mentalization\, and the “relational approach” to treatment. He sees value in helping people understand why they do the things they do: why they repeat self-defeating behaviors\, how they keep themselves from achieving what they’d like to achieve\, and what keeps them from becoming the person they’d like to become.

SUMMARY:Grand Rounds: Transforming Suicide Risk Assessment
DESCRIPTION:Transforming Suicide Risk Assessment-Katie C. Lewis\, PhD\n2024-25 Grand Round Series \nClinical suicide risk assessment is often conducted using standardized assessment measures that fail to integrate contemporary theories and empirical findings\, especially those pertaining the importance of analyzing the timing and contextual factors affecting suicide risk. This presentation will support a more nuanced understanding of patient-centered\, ecologically valid methods of assessing risk for suicide in clinical populations\, enabling attendees to develop greater precision and sensitivity in their risk assessment and intervention approaches.

SUMMARY:Connections And Conversation: The Analyst’s Search for Empathy In the Face of Hate – Veronica D. Abney\, Ph.D
DESCRIPTION:Free zoom event with Veronica D. Abney\, Ph.D.: This paper presents a description of the analysis of an African-American patient with Dissociative Identity Disorder. It will focus primarily on one year of the analysis when the transference was extremely negative resulting in the analyst moving from a very empathic and loving countertransference position to feeling hatred for the patient. Examples of rupture and repair in the transference will be presented. The paper will also look at issues related to culture that emerged in this analysis\, despite the analyst and analysand having similar cultural backgrounds.

SUMMARY:Feeling Stuck in Psychotherapy...and What to Do About it
DESCRIPTION:Mary Jo Peebles: When we feel stuck in psychotherapy\, we feel inadequate\, ashamed\, and hide our confusion. A common reaction is to blame and feel irritated with the patient\, but then we blame ourselves for being irritated. This workshop will address how to break this cycle\, which requires a shift from seeing stuckness as a problem to seeing it as just where one wants to be.

SUMMARY:Film & Mind: Asteroid City
DESCRIPTION:Asteroid City (2023) has been described by writer-director Wes Anderson as a“poetic meditation on the meaning of life”. Set in the 1950’s\, Asteroid City is a young girl’s coming-of-age story that deviates from one simple narrative line. Asteroid City leaves the comfortable and familiar setting of a summer camp/and opens up to a line of adventure that constitutes a complete interruption of all plans through its confrontation with an outer space alien. Dreamlike switches between different layers of the narrative\, which reflect on one another\, require the audience to question any and all layers of the events\, and penetrate beyond the manifest toward the latent\, meaningful\, content. \nLearning Objectives\nAs a result of attending this session\, participants should be able to: \nExplain the importance of differentiating manifest vs. latent content in learning the meaning of a dream\nApply the psychodynamic principle of defensive operations to explain how the dramaturgy of Asteroid City (with its use of atomic testing and space aliens) guides the audience to the writer’s intention of contemplating the meaning of life\nDescribe the mental ecology and function of the intersection in daily life of trauma with fantasy activity and aesthetic function \nPresenter:\nBettina Soestwohner\, PhD\, PsyD holds a doctoral degree in Comparative Literature from UC Irvine and taught literature and language for many years. She is a Research Psychoanalyst and faculty member at the New Center for Psychoanalysis\, where she regularly presents in the film series. She taught at the University of California Southern in the Psychology program. A member of the Freudian School of Quebec (EFQ)\, she is in charge of the work of the EFQ in California. She is a founding member of the group SPIIRAL that works on advancing the theory and practice of psychoanalysis today as required by clashes between cultures and civilizations. Currently she is doing research for a project on Pina Bausch’s Tanztheater and questions of aesthetics. She is interested in the intersection of studies in daily life with trauma\, fantasies and aesthetics. \nLuis Vallejo\, MD is a psychiatrist who attended Vanderbilt University on a full tuition Chancellor’s scholarship and completed his M.D. at Baylor in the Houston Medical Center. Beyond Psychiatry board certification\, Dr. Vallejo pursued extensive psychodynamic/analytic training via the Cincinnati Institute\, and is a current post-seminar candidate at the New Center for Psychoanalysis. He holds a private practice in Beverly Hills and is a consult-liaison Psychiatrist at Cedars Sinai Beverly Hills Medical Center\, Baptist Health Medical Center\, and Orbit Telehealth.
