SUMMARY:ACP's International Clinical Conversation Conference
DESCRIPTION:Association for Child Psychoanalysis:  Presented by Denia Barrett and Peter Bruendl \nClinical work performed in isolation or within only a small group of colleagues risks a narrowing of techniques. A continuing conversation between experienced clinicians\, working together throughout the year and then sharing their discourse with the conference participants\, allows for a detailed examination of clinical process with children of different ages. \nThese distinguished interlocutors from Chicago and Munich bring different training traditions and approaches\, allowing for cross-fertilization at both theoretical and technical levels.

SUMMARY:Psychoanalytic Takes on the Cinema: The Invitation (2015)
DESCRIPTION:Discussion of the film:  The Invitation (2015) (104 min)\nDirector: Karyn Kusama\n*** Film must be viewed prior to event.*** \nREGISTRATION DEADLINE: October 25\, 2023 \nDiscussant: Alex Smith\, Psy.D. \nFilm Description:\nWhen a man accepts an invitation to a dinner party hosted by his ex-wife\, the unsettling past reopens old wounds and creates new tensions. \nPresentation: \nWhile often speculative and hopefully morbid\, horror cinema is uniquely equipped to lay bare the unthinkable\, shifting our fears and wishes into the realm of the far-fetched. While Karyn Kusama grounds The Invitation in expertly rendered characters and a downbeat\, albeit slippery\, realism\, she hews closely to the mechanics of the horror narrative\, utilizing fantastical motifs to meditate deeply on resurrection\, grief\, and the diffusion of the self. In this discussion\, we will continue our celebration of the effectiveness of horror in portraying the profoundly human through the profoundly fantastical. We will work to peeling back the layers of horror to reveal the determinants driving the fantastical\, exploring how The Invitation iterates on themes of death and resurrection. We will also look at the classical horror motif of the cult and its representation in horror narratives\, examining its utility\, and the psychoanalytic underpinnings of the fascination of horror with cults and forbidden belief-systems.

SUMMARY:Meet the Author - Working with Patients Who Had a Severely Disabled Sibling
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Johanna Dobrich\, LCSW-R \nWorking with Survivor Siblings in Psychoanalysis: Ability and Disability in Clinical Process explores a previously neglected area in the field of psychoanalysis\, addressing undertheorized concepts on siblings\, disabilities and psychic survivorship\, and broadening our conceptualization of the enduring effects of lateral relations on human development. What happens to a person’s sense of self both personally and professionally when they grow up alongside a severely disabled sibling? This presentation will explore the themes that emerged in the book through a series of qualitative interviews held between the author and a sample of psychoanalysts– all of whom grew up alongside a disabled sibling.

SUMMARY:Linking Field Theory and Systems Psychodynamics to Enhance Leadership: Perspectives on Racism\, Discrimination and Othering
DESCRIPTION:Addressing the challenges presented by systemic racism\, discrimination\, and othering in our psychoanalytic and community-based organizations is a long-term\, multi-generational endeavor. As part of that effort\, the Council for Leadership and Organizational Studies (CLOS) of the Department of Psychoanalytic Education (DPE)\, American Psychoanalytic Association (APsA)\, in collaboration with the International Psychoanalytical Association (IPA)\, is offering an innovative virtual course to the future international leaders of psychoanalysis: current candidates\, students\, and recent graduates of psychoanalytic and psychoanalytic psychotherapy programs. Enhancing their knowledge and skills in leadership and group dynamics will help them\, their psychoanalytic organizations\, and other community-based organizations in which they participate to more effectively address the challenges of systemic racism and othering. \nThis virtual seminar will explore critical concepts in systems psychodynamics and field theory\, such as intersubjective processes\, group relations\, the social unconscious\, projective identifications\, splitting\,  and social defenses. Thinking of the individual and the group simultaneously\, developing what Bion referred to as binocular vision\, we will deepen our understanding of racism and othering in ourselves and in the groups in which we are embedded. In addition\, we will consider applications of these concepts organizationally to enhance our individual and collective efforts to become more inclusive\, more open in our thinking\, and equitable in sharing power. Each session will be evenly divided between theoretical and experiential components. In the group-as-a-whole we will discuss key points in the assigned readings. Then we will break into pre-assigned small self-study groups to observe and reflect on our own group process as it relates to our learning together about racism and othering. Membership in the small groups will remain constant throughout the course. There is no charge for this course. However\, we ask registrants to commit to attending all 8 sessions\, if possible\, in order to foster trust\, cohesion\, and a deeper level of engagement. \nCo-Leaders: James W Barron\, PhD and Paula Christian-Kliger\, PhD \nGuest Faculty: Anton Hart\, PhD\, Beverly J. Stoute\, MD\, Mira Erlich-Ginor\, M.A.\, and Shmuel Erlich\, Ph.D.\, ABPP \nCandidate Faculty: Himanshu Agrawal\, MD \nThursdays 11 AM–1:30 PM ET / 4–6:30 PM GMT \nOctober 5\, 12\, 19\, 26; November 2\, 9\, 16\, 30

SUMMARY:Changing Notions of the Feminine: Challenging Psychoanalysts' Prejudices
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Margarita Cereijido\, PhD \nDiscussants: Kirsten Dahl\, PhD & Rosemary Balsam\, MD\nPsychoanalysis\, from its beginnings\, has a long history of pathologizing certain groups – women and homosexuals\, to name a few. Personal beliefs and prejudices of the times – both past and present –seep into psychoanalytic theory\, education and practice. Many new psychoanalytic ideas conceive of the feminine and notions of gender as conceptual constructs that shift and transform over time. Gender ideals change as culture changes. How analysts listen and give meaning to clinical material is significantly affected by the analyst’s own prejudices\, her implicit and explicit theories as well as her subjective view of the world. If that be the case\, are there ways in which psychoanalysts can ferret out their own prejudices with a view towards providing treatment unincumbered by bias? Dr. Margarita Cereijido\, an internationally recognized thinker and writer on issues of gender\, race\, sexuality and politics in psychoanalysis will address how psychoanalysts can explore and support new notions of the feminine. Critical to this endeavor is an examination of one’s own gender prejudices\, adopting an open curious attitude to the new scenarios patients bring to us and developing new psychoanalytic theories that do not pathologize alternative choices. \nBoth the current revisiting of Freud and exploring new psychoanalytic theories advocates an approach that de-pathologizes “different” lifestyles and family configurations such as\, women who want to have children without a partner or with a female partner\, homosexuals\, non-binary persons\, women who do not want to have children\, etc. \nDr. Cereijido’s presentation will be followed by two discussions delivered by Drs. Rosemary Balsam and Kirsten Dahl. Dr. Balsam has published over one hundred academic publications and books on gender issues\, mothers and daughters\, “the vanished pregnant body” (to name a few) and is the winner of the coveted Sigourney Award for psychoanalytic achievement (2018). Dr. Dahl\, a PhD Anthropologist and Emeritus Child\, Adolescent and Adult Psychoanalyst has multiple publications on female gender and sexuality. The presenters\, all Training and Supervising Psychoanalysts\, will engage in a spirited discussion followed by an open forum exchange of ideas with the audience. Offering ideas relevant to psychoanalysis\, gender studies\, psychology\, and sociology\, this conference will be of great interest to psychoanalysts\, psychotherapists\, and to students and trainees in social work\, gender studies\, psychology\, psychoanalysis\, and psychiatry.

SUMMARY:Against Transantagonism: A Metapsychology for the Flourishing of Trans Children
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, Dr. Avgi Saketopoulou urges psychoanalysts to let the debate about the validity of trans children take its place in the fossil record of analytic history. Encouraging us to stop squandering our energies sparring with colleagues who see trans existence as cause for alarm\, she suggests it is time to move beyond transantagonism to create\, instead\, the psychoanalytic theories we need and do not yet have to work towards the flourishing of trans and queer children. Let us refuse\, once and for all\, the philanthropy of being “inclusive”: trans children\, Dr. Saketopoulou emphasizes\, deserve no less than a psychoanalysis that wants their transness and which does not treat their genders as undesirable or inauthentic. Such a project\, she cautions\, will require us to endure the twisting and re-making of our metapsychology’s very foundations. It is only then that we may enjoy a psychoanalysis that is responsible and response-able to queer life\, and which will not feel threatened by it or work to straighten or cis-iffy our patients. \nThrough a series of case vignettes\, Dr. Saketopoulou will address what stands in the way of a psychoanalysis that works towards the flourishing of trans and queer children\, taking on key concepts in child analysis. She will explain why the notion of core gender identity nests a ticking time bomb into the clinical process and why we need to relinquish our attachment to it; how we may reflect on gender not through the rubric of identity but under the aegis of contingency; why thinking about trauma as constitutive of some queer and some trans experience does not have to necessarily capsize into homotransphobia or conversion; how the demand for coherence and continuity overlooks the workings of important heteroclite psychic processes; and how to think developmentally without collapsing into developmentalism. The implications of this presentation extend far beyond the particularities of trans and queer childhoods\, and gesture towards renewed foundations for child psychoanalysis overall.

SUMMARY:Psychedelics and Psychoanalysis: Myths & Possibilities
DESCRIPTION:This is a continuation of NCP’s Manifest Mind Series.\nAs psychedelic medicine moves toward wide clinical implementation\, psychoanalysts are establishing a specialized set of roles and methods separate from other psychotherapists. The value of psychedelic medicine in psychodynamic care has been extensively documented in the past decade\, corroborating published clinical experience in the earlier LSD era over 60 years ago. This two-hour presentation\, a continuance of our presentation on psychedelic medicine in the spring\, will be devoted to explorations of the clinical skills in working therapeutically with psychedelic medicine. This session examines three aspects of particular interest to analysts and presents challenges to be met with future psychoanalytic methodologies that extend our penetration into the misty realities ahead. \nSpeaker: \nThomas M. Brod\, MD\, is Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine and Senior Faculty at NCP. He is coordinator of the NCP series Manifest Mind\, devoted to the study of psychoanalysis and psychedelic medicine.

SUMMARY:Study Group - Traumatic Experiences of Normal Development: An Attachment-Based and Trauma-Based Listening Perspective
DESCRIPTION:This study group is based on a book authored by Carl Shubs\, PhD\, titled Traumatic Experiences of Normal Development: An Intersubjective\, Object Relations Listening Perspective on Self\, Attachment\, Trauma\, and Reality (Routledge\, 2020). It describes a new conceptualization of trauma\, so we can be better prepared to work with it. The book presents a psychoanalytic and attachment-based perspective on trauma entailing a reconstruction of object relations\, an integration with relational and intersubjective approaches\, and their intersection with a redefinition of trauma\, as well as a recognition of how those experiences manifest in the body. It considers traumatic incidents of all kinds and examines how those experiences have roots in normal development and how they are significant factors in the development and persistence of such things as addictions\, eating disorders\, affairs/infidelities\, relational patterns\, and character structure. It addresses our understanding of anxiety\, depression\, crisis\, trauma\, and the relationships between present and past experiences. It also presents a frame of reference\, a listening stance\, which helps us to understand more deeply the roots of how individuals uniquely process the events that confront them and how we can be more effective in helping them.\nThis study group is conducted over 6 Mondays.

SUMMARY:Connections and Conversation with Ilene Philipson: The Radical Otherness of Masud Khan
DESCRIPTION:Masud Khan was a brilliant psychoanalyst\, Winnicott’s “principal disciple\,” collaborator\, editor\, and analysand. He was chief editor of the International Psychoanalytical Library for 20 years\, wrote four books\, and served as training analyst for Christopher Bollas and Adam Phillips. Simultaneously\, Masud Khan was an alcoholic\, antisemitic\, alcoholic\, who repeatedly engaged in sexual relationships with patients and continuously violated the analytic frame. \nIt is widely recognized that Winnicott failed Khan in his analysis\, allowing him to fall into madness. This talk will argue that Khan’s radical otherness served as a significant reason for this failure. While deeply embedded in elite\, Western culture and preferences\, he simultaneously maintained a feudal\, that is pre-capitalist identity that stood outside of Judeo-Christian norms. An examination of his life will cast light on current debates about otherness in psychoanalysis.

SUMMARY:Relational Identity & Erotic Orientation: Polyamory and Kink as Identity Constructs
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Gary Hirshberg\, LCSW. This two session workshop will challenge clinicians to look at our own deeply held beliefs about sex and coupling\, specifically what is ‘perversion’ and what is ‘healthy’ coupling. Most of us have come of age and been trained to still consider kink as deviant and as deriving from early childhood trauma or exposure to overt sex. Most of us think of multiple partners\, open relationships and group marriages as resulting from overly sexual men. This workshop will challenge all of that and more as we explore the reality that kink is just as valid an expression of healthy sexuality as missionary position between a male and a female and that polyamory is also a deeply embedded aspect of identity for many\, just as monogamy is for some. With more of our patients opening up to all aspects of their identity and sexuality we clinicians need to catch up.

SUMMARY:Cultural Competence Conference: Gender Diversity and Reproductive Justice: Connecting the Dots
DESCRIPTION:Jack Drescher\, MD: \nThe history of psychoanalytic theorizing about homosexuality is more than a century old and has undergone numerous revisions. Early on\, psychoanalytic attitudes toward homosexuality could be reasonably characterized as hostile. The presentation begins with Freud’s early views on homosexuality within the cultural context of his times. It then reviews later pathologizing psychoanalytic theories as well as the research of sexologists which ultimately led to the 1973 decision of the American Psychiatric Association to remove homosexuality from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM). Today the contributions of openly lesbian and gay analysts have shifted psychoanalytic focus on homosexuality from discussions of “why gay?” to the more clinically relevant question of “how gay?” This presentation shows how the history of psychoanalytic attitudes toward homosexuality illustrates how psychological theories cannot be divorced from the political\, cultural\, and personal contexts in which they are formulated. \nCatherine Mallouh\, MD: \nAbortion is a complex issue politically\, socially\, and morally. It is also a legal issue which impacts women’s bodily autonomy. This presentation will explore psychoanalytic perspectives on abortion\, particularly in the context of this choice being prohibited. The effect of the social on psychic life and individual subjectivity becomes evident. The choice to continue a pregnancy or not does not just concern the fetus\, but also the choice for motherhood and providing maternal care. Continuing a pregnancy in the context of being able to have an abortion frames the choice for motherhood.

DESCRIPTION:Directed by Kelly Freeman Craig\, Are You There God? It’s Me\, Margaret. (2023) is a film adaptation of the Judy Blume young-adult novel. Social\, biological\, and (to a much smaller extent) identity issues of puberty’s early edge are presented with charming verisimilitude (and earned a 99% positive rating on RottenTomatoes.com). In our discussion we will have opportunities to discuss the psychodynamic issues explicit in the film…and\, importantly\, unaddressed psychodynamic issues operating below the surface. \nDiscussants:  Ronnie Kaye\, PhD\, LMFT and Deborah Lynn\, MD

SUMMARY:A Psychoanalytical View on Child & Adolescent Development in a Socio-Cultural Context: Generation Z in Kazakhstan
DESCRIPTION:This presentation is aimed to enrich psychoanalytic theory by exploring how societal and historical factors shape generational experiences in different contexts. Each generation grows up in a specific cultural\, social\, and historical context\, which influences their values\, beliefs\, and psychological challenges. In these regards generation Z in general has been characterized as an environmentally aware “digital natives” who are exposed to a rapidly changing and increasingly interconnected world. Despite these common characteristics\, cultural determinants shape Zoomers’ early experiences\, socialization patterns\, and the formation of their self-identity. Psychoanalytic perspectives in this presentation will explore how context-specific traditional cultural norms and values are internalized and operate within Zoomers’ unconscious processes\, and also tries to uncover these unconscious dynamics and explain their interplay with cultural factors. \nPresenter: Anna M. Kudiyarova\, PhD\, Director of the Psychoanalytic Institute for Central Asia

SUMMARY:Linking Field Theory and Systems Psychodynamics to Enhance Leadership: Perspectives on Racism\, Discrimination and Othering
DESCRIPTION:Addressing the challenges presented by systemic racism\, discrimination\, and othering in our psychoanalytic and community-based organizations is a long-term\, multi-generational endeavor. As part of that effort\, the Council for Leadership and Organizational Studies (CLOS) of the Department of Psychoanalytic Education (DPE)\, American Psychoanalytic Association (APsA)\, in collaboration with the International Psychoanalytical Association (IPA)\, is offering an innovative virtual course to the future international leaders of psychoanalysis: current candidates\, students\, and recent graduates of psychoanalytic and psychoanalytic psychotherapy programs. Enhancing their knowledge and skills in leadership and group dynamics will help them\, their psychoanalytic organizations\, and other community-based organizations in which they participate to more effectively address the challenges of systemic racism and othering. \nThis virtual seminar will explore critical concepts in systems psychodynamics and field theory\, such as intersubjective processes\, group relations\, the social unconscious\, projective identifications\, splitting\,  and social defenses. Thinking of the individual and the group simultaneously\, developing what Bion referred to as binocular vision\, we will deepen our understanding of racism and othering in ourselves and in the groups in which we are embedded. In addition\, we will consider applications of these concepts organizationally to enhance our individual and collective efforts to become more inclusive\, more open in our thinking\, and equitable in sharing power. Each session will be evenly divided between theoretical and experiential components. In the group-as-a-whole we will discuss key points in the assigned readings. Then we will break into pre-assigned small self-study groups to observe and reflect on our own group process as it relates to our learning together about racism and othering. Membership in the small groups will remain constant throughout the course. There is no charge for this course. However\, we ask registrants to commit to attending all 8 sessions\, if possible\, in order to foster trust\, cohesion\, and a deeper level of engagement. \nCo-Leaders: James W Barron\, PhD and Paula Christian-Kliger\, PhD \nGuest Faculty: Anton Hart\, PhD\, Beverly J.

SUMMARY:Windows into Psychotherapy
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Stuart Ozar\, MD and Juliana Varela\, MSW. For clinicians or mental health students who are curious about what it is that psychodynamic therapists actually do\, we offer a “window” into the process and a chance to connect an introduction to theory with actual clinical material. Each class will begin with a brief theoretical description of a core clinical concept\, followed by the presentation and discussion of material from a long-term psychotherapy process. We welcome lively discussion\, dialogue and debate.

SUMMARY:Social Psychoanalysis and an Ethic of Repair
DESCRIPTION:This program begins with a talk on what a social psychoanalysis might look like in the clinic and draws on some earlier psychoanalysts’ concepts that have connected the social world and the psychic world without reducing one to the other. Exploring identity formation in cultural contexts and within various power hierarchies\, Dr. Layton introduces the concept of normative unconscious processes\, a concept connecting the psychic and the social that specifically addresses the ways that racism\, heterosexism\, classism and other social inequalities are unconsciously enacted in the clinic and culture. We will then explore how therapists can resist unconsciously replicating such cultural inequalities. \nIn the second half of the program\, we will expand our focus to the ways cultural inequalities are unconsciously reproduced in the wider circles of contemporary institutional and sociocultural life. Dr. Layton\, Dr. Nichols\, and Dr. Connolly discuss the psychological case for reparations for slavery and its afterlives. Our conversations here\, too\, explore how we\, as citizens and therapists\, both unconsciously replicate and can resist replicating harmful\, unequal relations. We will think together about how to address the places in our different subjective and communal worlds where harm has been done–and engage together on how to make repair.

SUMMARY:The Phone as a Subject: Understanding the Effects of smart phones and AI on the Mind
DESCRIPTION:With Amy Levy\, Psy.D. & Todd Essig\, Ph.D.\nIn her paper\, “The Phone as a Subject\,” Dr. Levy contests the commonly held assumptions that the smartphone is an object\, susceptible to healthy or pathological employment and comparable to other objects used to ameliorate the pain of reality. Instead\, she will argue that the phone is a subject we interact with in a bi-directional\, intersubjective field. \nThe author leans upon Jessica Benjamin’s 1995 work on the shift in the language of “object” to “subject” as one that brings recognition of the “other.” When we recognize the smartphone and machine-learning artificial intelligence (AI) as “other\,” we can better understand their effects on our minds. \nTo encourage us in psychoanalysis to begin envisioning and conceptualizing the psychological course that humanity is heading on given this profound new relationship\, Dr. Levy will discuss the work of New York Times best-selling author and historian Yuval Noah Harari (2017) and offer a Bionian conceptualization of the phone’s impact on human mentation.

SUMMARY:Psychoanalysis in Transition: Exploring the Vista from Couch to Collective
DESCRIPTION:“As analysts have expanded their involvement outside of the consulting room\, institutes around the world have increasingly recognized that learning about leadership\, followership\, membership\, and social dynamics might need to be a fourth pillar in psychoanalytic training (alongside seminars\, personal analysis\, and supervision). \nIn this conference\, and working together over four days\, the staff and participants will create a temporary institution to examine multiple layers of organizational life beyond the conscious/observable to consider the more impactful and powerful dynamics that are out of awareness.”

SUMMARY:Shame\, Self-Alienation and the Power of Self-Compassion
DESCRIPTION:The concept of self-alienation is inextricably linked to shame. Working with adult children of traumatizing narcissists\, and with others who experience narcissistic abuse\, Shaw’s way of working with these clients shifted as he began to study and integrate concepts and techniques from some of the contemporary traumatologists. What he has learned has led Shaw to place problems with self-alienation\, a condition largely governed by shame\, at the center of the therapeutic endeavor. Shaw will give clinical examples of his work with clients struggling with self-alienation that demonstrate his way of integrating trauma theories and a relational psychoanalytic perspective. \nDaniel Shaw\, LCSW\, is a psychoanalyst in private practice in New York City and in Nyack\, New York. Originally trained as an actor at Northwestern University and with the renowned teacher Uta Hagen in New York City\, Shaw later worked as a missionary for an Indian guru. His eventual recognition of cultic aspects of this organization led him to become an outspoken activist in support of individuals and families traumatically abused in cults. Simultaneous with leaving this group\, Shaw began his training in the mental health profession\, becoming a faculty member and supervisor at The National Institute for the Psychotherapies in New York. In addition to his numerous published journal articles and book chapters\, Shaw’s book\, Traumatic Narcissism: Relational Systems of Subjugation\, was published in 2014 for the Relational Perspectives Series by Routledge. The book was a runner-up for the distinguished Gradiva Award. In 2018\, the International Cultic Studies Association awarded him the Margaret Thaler Singer Award for advancing the understanding of coercive persuasion and undue influence. Shaw’s second book\, Traumatic Narcissism and Recovery: Leaving the Prison of Shame and Fear\, was published by Routledge in 2021. Dan speaks on psychoanalytic topics to clinical societies around the world\, and also conducts consultation groups for groups of three or four clinicians in person and on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Families\, Parents and Children: What can Psychodynamic-Psychoanalytic Treatment Offer?
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Tina Marie Dale\, LCSW. This course is intended for clinicians new to the therapeutic field or those with little to no exposure to the psychodynamic approach thus far in their professional careers. We will look at what the psychodynamic approach can offer to clinicians treating families\, treating children\, and/or working with parents. We will consider concepts such as transference\, countertransference\, internal objects\, sibling relationships\, as well as other concepts that inform and support child\, family\, and parent treatments. Video links and readings provided ahead of class will prepare participants for group discussion. We will also consider diversity among families in treatment. Class time will consist of lectures\, case examples\, and discussion among participants. Participants are expected to read and view the materials provided ahead of time and to arrive ready for discussion.
