SUMMARY:Matrix\, Environment\, Atmosphere: How Mother Became a Medium
DESCRIPTION:2026 Grand Rounds Series\nSpeaker: Hannah Zeavin\, PhD \nFrom the mid-1940s until the 1960s and beyond\, class\, race\, and maternal function were linked in metaphors of temperature in pediatric psychological studies of Bad Mothers. Newly codified diagnoses of aloof “refrigerator mothers” and overstimulating “hot mothers” were inseparable from midcentury conceptions of stimulation\, mediation\, domesticity\, and race\, including Marshall McLuhan’s theory of hot and cool media\, as well as maternal absence and (over)presence\, echoes of which continue in the present in terms like “helicopter parent.” Whereas autism and autistic states have been extensively elaborated in their relationship to digital media\, this talk attends to attributed maternal causes of “emotionally disturbed\,” queer\, and neurodivergent children. The talk thus elaborates a media theory of mothering and parental “fitness.”

SUMMARY:A Consultation Group for Therapists: Dreams on the Couch
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Dr. Kathleen Fitzgerald\, PsyD\, MFT\, Training and Supervising Analyst. This consultation group invites therapists into an ongoing exploration of dreams as living expressions of the unconscious. Drawing from the full arc of psychoanalytic thought\, participants will bring clinical material and engage in a collaborative process of listening\, reverie\, and meaning-making. \nTogether\, we will explore how dreams emerge within the intersubjective field\, how they speak to unconscious communication\, and how they may be used clinically to deepen the relationship between the patient\, the therapist\, and the analytic relationship itself.

SUMMARY:Reading Group: A People's History of Psychoanalysis: From Freud to Liberation
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Holly Han\, Psy.D.\, LMFT & Ivy Zequeira\, LMFT. This 6-week course explores psychoanalysis as a living\, political\, and decolonial practice through Daniel José Gaztambide’s A People’s History of Psychoanalysis. We’ll trace the field from Freud’s early formulations through its entanglement with race\, class\, and empire\, to contemporary liberation psychology and decolonial movements. Students will critically examine how psychoanalytic ideas have been used to both reinforce and resist oppression\, and consider what a liberatory\, community?oriented psychoanalysis can look like today.

SUMMARY:Xenophobia\, War\, and the Problem of Social Disorder - George Makari\, MD
DESCRIPTION:Keynote of the 64th Annual Meeting of the Rapaport-Klein Study Group\nhosted by the Erikson Institute for Education\, Research\, and Advocacy of the Austen Riggs Center \nSpeaker: George Makari\, MD \nIn Of Fear and Strangers\, George Makari\, MD\, considered how different psychological models – behaviorist\, cognitive\, phenomenological – accounted for xenophobia\, and in the end\, considered psychoanalytic theories of projection to most clearly define the most intractable form of this problem. With ethnonationalism and militarism on the rise around the world\, Dr. Makari wanted to explore the social conditions that fostered such projected hatred. For that\, he turned to Einstein and Freud’s 1932 exchange\, “Why War?”. In Freud’s brief letter\, he proposed a model for collectives\, in which the problem of self-defense and the risk of social disintegration were central. How\, we might ask\, does this model apply to our present?

SUMMARY:Saturday Salon: My Analyst Has Dementia\, I Might Need a Donut
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Dr. Kathleen Fitzgerald\, PsyD\, MFT\, Training and Supervising Analyst. \nIn this Saturday Salon\, Dr. Kathleen Fitzgerald invites participants into an intimate exploration of a 10-year analytic relationship reframed through an unexpected reversal as the analyst’s mind is slowly overtaken by dementia. Through a series of vivid clinical and relational moments\, she reflects on the unfolding experience of remaining in analytic dialogue while the analyst’s capacity for coherence becomes increasingly compromised. \nThis experience both challenges and illuminates the foundations of psychoanalytic work. Together\, participants are invited to explore vulnerability\, asymmetry\, and the deeply human dimensions of analytic work.

SUMMARY:Film Series Phantom Thread Maybe He’s the Most Demanding Man: Authoritarian Ambivalence and The Wounded Patriarch
DESCRIPTION:Drawing from the works of Sigmund Freud\, Wilhelm Reich and Ruth Ben-Ghiat\, Jon Dimond\, PhD will use Phantom Thread as an illustration of the confounding phenomenology of The Strongman. Participants will apply psychoanalytic principles to better understand how a character structure organized around obsessiveness\, dominance\, and relentless control can also be so vulnerable\, emotionally reactive\, and prone to surrender.
