SUMMARY:Conference - Clinical and Theoretical Considerations in Telehealth vs. In-person Psychoanalytic Treatments
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Arthur Niesser\, Dr. Med.\, Derek Hook\, PhD & Leora Trub\nDiscussion by: Todd Essig\, PhD\nThis conference will consider some clinical and theoretical considerations in telehealth versus in-person psychoanalytic treatments. Dr. Niesser will explore if there might be groups of patients for whom online analysis might be advantageous compared to the traditional in-person setting. The potential for a ‘safe space’ is examined\, especially in view of erotic transference and countertransference. Furthermore\, the preferred choice of setting might depend in part on the therapist’s personality. \nRather than immediately designating teletherapy (or for that matter\, in-person therapy) as the inferior form\, Dr. Hook suggests we might pause and ask: how have ‘distanced’ forms of treatment (analysis via phone\, teletherapy\, etc.) drawn our attention to certain facets of the ‘original’ form of psychoanalysis that often go unremarked upon? For example\, in Lacanian psychoanalysis with neurotic analysands\, a degree of anxiety is often considered necessary\, just as a degree of personal distance (following the imperative to work rather in the symbolic than in the imaginary). I will note the role of a type of ‘minimal uncanny’ effect in teletherapy\, highlight a few points in respect of differing forms of transference\, and consider what interpretative potentials arise from a combining the two forms of psychoanalytic work. \nAccording to Dr. Trub\, digital culture increasingly conflicts with longstanding assumptions about psychoanalytic practice. This tension was sharply amplified by the abrupt\, unprepared shift to telehealth during the COVID-19 pandemic. Contemporary clinical practices suggest that certain traditional analytic ideals may have exceeded their explanatory and regulatory usefulness. As a result\, these ideals may no longer function reliably as markers of deviations from the analytic frame or as guides for reestablishing idealized technique under digitally-mediated conditions. This presentation argues for a new paradigm for conceptualizing the analytic ideal\, as one which is rooted in the paradoxes that exist at the heart of digital experience. \nThe Illusion of Equivalence. Telehealth requires us to act as if in-person and remote modalities are equivalent in order to function\, while knowing clinically that they are not. The paradox lies in sustaining continuity of care without collapsing meaningful differences in embodiment\, proximity\, and shared space. \nHolding at a Distance: Maintaining Presence in Absence. Telehealth asks the therapist to provide holding and presence in the absence of shared physical space\, requiring presence to be actively produced rather than passively given. What is usually sustained by co-location must now be symbolically\, relationally\, and technologically assembled. \nHealing without Resolution. In a fractured and technologically mediated world\, psychotherapy cannot promise wholeness without acknowledging brokenness—including its own. Telehealth becomes therapeutic not by resolving contradiction\, but by modeling how psychic life can be held together in the presence of inconsistency\, loss\, and limits.

SUMMARY:Dislocated Presences: Technology\, the Psyche\, and the Meaning of Virtual Space
DESCRIPTION:In-person (at the Austen Riggs Center) and virtual attendance options. \nFeaturing:\nBen Kafka\, PhD\nLeora Trub\, PhD\nChristian Thorne\, PhD\nHannah Schmitt\, PsyD (Moderator) \nThe final roundtable examines how digital technologies are reshaping psychic life within the context of place and its disembodied absence. What becomes of presence\, intimacy\, and therapeutic containment in virtual space? Panelists will consider how teletherapy\, online rituals\, and screen-mediated relationships challenge and extend traditional psychoanalytic concepts\, including transitional space\, the container-contained\, and the skin ego. \nThis session offers a space for reflection on disembodiment\, connection\, and the symbolic potential of virtual environments—inviting new ways of thinking about psychic life in the digital age. \nThis roundtable is also part of “Rooted & Displaced: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on the Meaning of Place. An International Roundtable Series”\, a collaboration between the Sigmund Freud Museum\, the Freud Foundation US and the Erikson Institute of the Austen Riggs Center.

SUMMARY:Saturday Salon: Dreaming the Unconscious Through Collage
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Glenda Corstorphine\, Psy.D \nThis course will focus on the idea that we can access our unconscious thoughts and images through art\, specifically collage. There will be an introduction to “dreaming while awake” referencing both Bion and Thomas Ogden’s thoughts. Participants will be invited to create a collage that represents work with a patient. There will be time to make more than one collage\, as well as time to process what we create with the group. Art materials will be provided.

SUMMARY:58th Anniversary Freud Lecture: 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 in her paper presentation. 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 “primordial and unrepresented” states of mind has little evidence to support it. In fact\, research findings summarized herein point to an opposite view: that of the “competent infant\,” one with highly accurate perceptual discrimination capacities and an innate ability to register and represent subjective experience in both procedural and declarative memory\, even pre-natally. Given the infant’s competencies it seems implausible to hold that representational deficits are at the heart of serious adult psychopathology\, which is instead seen to be the result of defensive maneuvers against unknowable and unspeakable truth rather than the absence of a pre-verbal representational capacity. Current research findings seem to pose a significant challenge for psychoanalytic theories which espouse so-called “primitive mental states\,” “unrepresented\,” ”unformulated\,” “unsymbolized” experience or “non-conscious” states.

SUMMARY:Psychoanalytic Freedom and The Loving Gaze
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Shir Shanun\, PhD \nCivitarese (2024) writes we have a need to exist in the eyes of others\, it is what makes relationships meaningful. Such loving connections and freedom in complex analytic system and the positive relationship between them are at the center of this paper. I will argue that restriction or expansion of one impacts the other. I define freedom—as an emergent component within the analytic complex system that reflects an increase in perspectives a person has and experiences; and the loving gaze—as an integral constituent of the conditions that support recognition and an indicator of movement toward or away from recognition and connection. The use of Giuseppe Civitarese’s model of Post Bionian Field Theory (BFT) and Daniel Goldin’s Storying\, supports the emergence of both loving gaze and freedom including more freedom to address the socio-political and transform our experience into a loving gaze experience. \nIn this paper a clinical example will demonstrate a moment of restricted freedom in the context of socio-political impingement. We will explore its transformation into a loving gaze experience using BFT and storying techniques. It will exemplify how when our loving gaze is restricted toward the other and toward ourselves\, our freedom is restricted. Whereas we might feel a more intimate connection when we experience more freedom in our relatedness. \nCE

SUMMARY:Psychological Assessment and Access: A Multidisciplinary Population Health Approach - Hadas Pade\, PsyD
DESCRIPTION:2026 Grand Rounds Series\nSpeaker: Hadas Pade\, PsyD \nThis session highlights the need to address the current inequitable access to psychological assessment services by acknowledging and embracing different levels of assessment versus a more traditional comprehensive assessment approach\, and the potential role of various health care providers other than psychologists. While comprehensive assessments are highly valued\, they are costly\, often not adequately covered by insurance\, and not readily available for many individuals\, especially those from minoritized groups. In addition\, one must be highly qualified to complete such an assessment; thus\, supply is short. The current alternatives of a lengthy waitlist or simply bypassing an assessment are unacceptable and in direct opposition to social justice values. Instead\, applying a population health model including a multidisciplinary approach that systematically and thoughtfully offers universal screenings and targeted assessments rather than primarily comprehensive ones along with overall promotion of health and emotional well-being is the way forward. This multi-tiered approach utilizes preventative tools and early detection and intervention applied to more or even all people that can be completed by a range of mental health and health trained individuals. Although not new\, a population health approach has yet to be widely applied to psychological assessment. The different levels will be described including purpose\, scope\, type of providers considered\, and resources necessary as well as advantages and limitations.

SUMMARY:Different Meanings of Fantasy and Phantasy
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Nasir Ilahi\, LLM\, LP\nThe term “fantasy” is foundational to psychoanalysis\, yet its clinical application varies dramatically across the Atlantic. While all schools share a common Freudian root\, the British Kleinian tradition added something additional. It developed the concept of “unconscious phantasy” as a continuous\, somatic\, and structural undercurrent of the psyche. This talk will explore these divergent definitions\, tracing their development from Freud’s central usage to his subsidiary notions of fantasy in his concepts of hallucinatory wish-fulfillment and negation.

SUMMARY:Countertransference: The Total Situation in Child Analysis
DESCRIPTION:Using vivid clinical material\, broad theoretical references\, and decades of experience as an analyst\, Dr. Sugarman will explore the total situation in child analysis — and why it tends to elicit particularly intense countertransference responses and enactments. He defines transference and countertransference as the interpersonalization of mental structures\, examining them not only in response to child patients and their caregivers\, but also teachers\, drivers\, and other seemingly peripheral figures. His approach is nuanced\, clear\, and clinically grounded.

SUMMARY:Queering Classical Psychoanalytic Concepts Through the Subaltern
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Tiffany Hale\, LMFT & Jamie Steele\, LMFT \nBring your cases that are outside of normative bounds. We will draw in our well-worn and well-loved analytic concepts to explore clinical material together. If you have found that your thinking\, your lived experience and/or that of your patients has not quite been thinkable within analytic theory\, join us. We’ll stretch the limits and make room together. Each week we will center a classical concept with the intention of queering it through the lens of case material from the group.

SUMMARY:Book Discussion - Risking Intimacy and Creative Transformation in Psychoanalysis
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Lauren Levine\, PhD\nDiscussion by: Janine de Peyer\, LCSW \nPlease join us whether or not you have read the book. Some people want to read and discuss the book; others want to learn more before deciding if they want to read it. All are welcome! \nIn this presentation\, Dr. Levine examines the transformative power of storytelling and witnessing in creating shared symbolic meaning and coherence from ungrieved trauma. She explores creativity as a transformative force that emerges within the clinical process\, drawing on film\, dance\, literature\, and dreams as frames for experiences that exceed what language alone can capture. As both an analyst and a writer\, Dr. Levine is especially interested in the stories individuals and communities tell\, the interstitial gaps created by unmetabolized trauma\, and the potential of an intimate psychoanalytic process to help patients reclaim memory\, creative agency\, and authorship of their own lives.

SUMMARY:Intersections: Clinical Work in Social Contexts
DESCRIPTION:Inaugural Talk with Dr. Carolyn Laubender: We are excited to open this new series with an evening conversation with Carolyn Laubender on her book The Political Clinic – winner of the 2025 Book Prize of the American Psychoanalytic Association and the 2025 Book Award of the British Psychological Society. Examining the work of influential British psychoanalysts including Klein\, Winnicott\, Sachs\, and Bowlby. The book combines history with feminist and decolonial social theory to trace how concepts such as race\, gender\, colonialism\, and democracy were both shaped by and reshaped within clinical practice\, challenging the assumption that psychoanalysis is or should be politically neutral. \nFor this evening\, Dr. Laubender will draw on chapter 4 of her book entitled “Dreaming of ‘Black Mummy: Race\, Gender\, Decolonization\, and D. W. Winnicott”. The evening will offer a closer engagement with the material\, followed by a response and open discussion.

SUMMARY:Psychoanalysis and Artificial Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Todd Essig\, Phd and Oscar Hills\, MD. Generative AI\, especially chatbots\, presents psychoanalysis with tremendous promise and significant peril. While some benefit tremendously from their AI relationships\, others sink into delusion\, and for most they threaten to flatten inner life\, externalizing what has always been internal. Plus\, so called “therapy-bots” are on the near horizon with both promise and peril. Overall\, if you’re not at least a little anxious about AI’s transformations to self-experience\, intimate relationships and professional life\, you’re not paying enough attention. But anxiety need not lead to denial\, retreat\, panic or paralysis. This presentation offers a path toward active\, informed\, and hopeful engagement on the side of human needs\, psychoanalytic values\, and affirming life. It argues that hope\, not fear\, should drive our response. Active participation combined with critical\, contemplative\, and deeply psychoanalytic engagement can secure not just survival but a thriving psychoanalysis for the AI age. Three dimensions of this AI-age psychoanalytic activism will be explored. First\, why hope provides the essential foundation for AI-age psychoanalytic activism in our moment of accelerating technological transformation. Second\, how to develop the procedural knowledge necessary for authentic psychoanalytic engagement with these technologies so one can move beyond abstract fantasies to embodied understanding. Finally\, a new framework of “techno-subjunctivity” for understanding the unique qualities of chatbot intimacies will illustrate what it looks like to practice hopeful\, AI-age psychoanalytic activism.
