SUMMARY:Study Group - Exploring the Essence of a Psychoanalytic Approach
DESCRIPTION:Join us in this all-level study group as we utilize Nancy McWilliams’ text\, Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy\, as a guide to exploring the defining and distinguishing features of a psychoanalytic approach. Through reading and discussion\, we will discuss some of the values and assumptions associated with a psychoanalytic sensibility\, examine key considerations such as therapeutic frame and boundaries\, and explore the “how” of basic psychoanalytic psychotherapy processes. Case material from the text and from group participants will help us bring these ideas to life. We will also consider the experience of the therapist in this modality\, including the gratifications and challenges that come along with our work. Participants need a copy of the book: McWilliams\, N. (2004). Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy: A Practitioner’s Guide (Guilford Press).\nFacilitated by Barton Jones\, LCSW & Lindsey Hogan\, PhD

SUMMARY:Connections & Conversation with Francisco Gonzalez: On the Place of the Social Unconscious: Implications for Psychoanalytic Thought and Practice
DESCRIPTION:The current moment in psychoanalytic thinking has made a “turn towards the social\,” but what does this mean in theoretical and practical terms. This presentation aims to provide a conceptual basis for the Social Unconscious as a register grounded in groups\, and operating as a different kind of psychic life than what we are used to when we think of the personal unconscious. If we take the concept of the Social Unconscious seriously\, this implies a fundamental change in our theoretical frameworks. And has implications for opening up the terrain of psychoanalytic practice\, including the recovery and validation of the history of community psychoanalysis and new elaborations of training and practice.

SUMMARY:“This boy is autistic”: Misinterpretation of Defensive voidance in a Six-Year-Old Boy
DESCRIPTION:Leon Hoffman\, MD\, a Psychiatrist and Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist\, will discuss the importance of the therapeutic intervention “interpretation of defenses against painful affects.” This technique\, developed by Berta Bornstein\, has been indispensable in child and adolescent psychoanalysis. This paper describes in detail the defensive function of a child’s oppositional behavior\, negativism\, and avoidance. These issues were examined and interpreted in an in-depth treatment (including two years of four-time-a-week psychoanalysis). This was one of the treatments that served as a model for developing the Manual of Regulation-Focused Psychotherapy for Children (RFP-C) with Externalizing Behaviors: A Psychodynamic Approach and the development of the first empirical study of a psychodynamic treatment for children with disruptive disorders. The Triangle of Conflict will be highlighted as a heuristic to conceptualize the development of symptoms. The value of empirical research will be discussed. \nEvent is June 10\, 2023 from 10AM-12PM. Registration closes on June 7th. \nPlease follow link to the event page for registration and additional information on fees.

SUMMARY:Shame and The Cover-Up of Individuality:  Social and Clinical Implications
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, I will explore the social and clinical implications of covering up our exposed vulnerability as unique individuals.  Given that shame is characterized by doubts about our fundamental adequacy\, we attempt to live in the world by covering up our shame as individuals by taking refuge under the umbrella of external authority.  Loyalty to a strong leader or social conformity to group norms derive often from the need to cover oneself.  In this sense\, a primary aim of psychoanalytic psychotherapy is to help patients accept their own uniqueness as individuals.  I will explore the importance of respecting the agency of patients and modeling an ethic of curiosity\, inquiry\, and understanding in interacting with patients.  I will conclude by showing how self-acceptance is also related to the process of mourning the original disillusionments that led to one’s shame. \nBio: Peter Shabad\, PhD is Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry at\nNorthwestern University Medical School.

SUMMARY:Psychoanalytic Takes on the Cinema: Discussion of the Film "The Maid"
DESCRIPTION:This talk will use the events in the film as the basis for a discussion of the deadening effects of social inequality and emotional deprivation.  The film depicts the relationship of a middle-aged woman who has served one family as a maid for more than half her life.  While she might seem embedded in the life of the family\, and they are portrayed as loving her\, in a way\, it is clear that she is more object than person to them.  The effect of this\, and what seems to be her emotionally depriving relationship with her mother\, results in a person who is isolated\, manipulative\, and both sadistic and masochistic.  Is such a person redeemable?  What can it take to help such a deadened character come back to life?

SUMMARY:Connections and Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Free zoom event open to all on the topic of Psychoanalysis as a Means of LiberationWith Debra J. Myers\, MD\, PsyD.\nIndividuals engage in psychoanalysis motivated by dissatisfaction with life as they experience it. In psychoanalytic training\, we spend a great deal of time preparing to understand family of origin\, relationship\, and developmental discontinuities. Too often\, socio-cultural discontinuities do not receive significant emphasis as warranted. I intend to analyze my personal biography using eclectic psychoanalytic theories to demonstrate the potential to use psychoanalysis in the service of personal liberation. Mentalization\, as well as\, Developmental and Attachment psychoanalytic theories may be used in an emancipatory effort by those currently oppressed or marginalized in our society when trained psychoanalysts are accessible. I believe the history of anti-Black racism is relevant to the psychoanalysis of patients regardless of race. The concept of ‘Racial Battle Fatigue’ will be described and applied to the analysis of myself\, a person of African descent.

SUMMARY:Adaptation in Clinical Practice. Robert Langs and Carl Jung | Pittsburgh Psychoanalytic Center
DESCRIPTION: Presented by John R. White\, Ph.D.\, LPC\nThis presentation compares the clinical concepts of “adaptation” in Robert Langs and Carl Jung\, examining their central similarities and differences. \nOur presenter\, John R. White\, PhD\, LPC is a practicing Jungian psychoanalyst in Pittsburgh PA and Coordinator of the C. G. Jung Institute Analyst Training Program of Pittsburgh. He has more than forty publications in both philosophy and psychoanalysis. His book Adaptation and Psychotherapy. Langs and Analytical Psychology\, was published by Rowman & Littlefield\, 2023.Though adaptation is a concept internal to all psychoanalytic theory and practice\, perhaps no one in the psychoanalytic tradition emphasized adaptation more than Robert Langs. This presentation compares the clinical concepts of “adaptation” in Robert Langs and Carl Jung\, examining their central similarities and differences as well as deriving clinical implications from this comparison. \nadministration@pghpsa.org

SUMMARY:The 2023 Grotstein Memorial Lectures: Part 3
DESCRIPTION:New Center for Psychoanalysis \nThis event addresses: James Grotstein’s work in comparative psychoanalytic theory \nKlein’s Analytic Technique \nProfessor Robert Hinshelwood\, MD — Professor Emeritus of University of Essex; Member\, British Psychoanalytical Society; Fellow\, Royal College of Physicians\, London\, UK \nIn the final part of our series\, Robert Hinshelwood takes us back to Klein’s original psychoanalytic technique with children and adults—and establishes how she innovated analytic technique by reversing Freud’s emphasis on reconstructing the infantile/conflictual past of his patients as based on their adult psychopathology. Klein instead emphasized early infantile mechanisms of projection and defense—and how they informed the subsequent pathology of the mature patient. \nIn the third hour of this presentation\, Hinshelwood makes comparison between Klein\, Winnicott and Bion\, attempting to tease out what the substantive differences were between these three analytic pioneers in terms of technique.

SUMMARY:Psychedelic Drugs: Perception and Psychodynamics
DESCRIPTION:NCP Manifest Mind Series welcomes cognitive neuroscientist and philosopher of mind Link Swanson\, PhD.\nFor his lucid work on understanding the psychology of psychedelic drug effects\, Dr. Swanson has already received international early-career recognition. Swanson updates the rationalist tradition of Sigmund Freud’s “Project for a Scientific Psychology” discussing the implications of his research into the perceptual effects of the psychedelic drug psilocybin. \nIn his talk\, Dr. Swanson will lay out the connections springing from prescient observations by both Sigmund Freud and Aldous Huxley on mental “filtration.” He will describe those empirical findings and theoretical concepts of mind that help explain how psychedelic medicine participates in the therapeutic process. \nDr. Swanson will appear by Zoom from Minnesota.

SUMMARY:Karen J. Maroda\, PhD\, ABPP: The analyst’s vulnerability: How our early childhood experiences impact our choice of theory and technique.
DESCRIPTION:Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis \nThis event addresses: The Analyst’s Vulnerability \nIt has long been recognized that therapists have a history of being caretakers in their families of origin. Yet we have not pursued how that role impacted our own personal growth\, values\, ideas and limitations. What are the vulnerabilities and strengths that we share as a result of being precociously assigned the responsibility for others’ happiness or even their psychic survival? What role does the resulting guilt\, shame and desire to rescue and be rescued play in the creation of both our theories and preferred interventions? And do we tend to be excessively passive as a result of not having any real power as children when faced with the daunting responsibility of being soother\, peacemaker\, mediator and even entertainer? \nIn the spirit of expanding the conversation about the dynamics in the therapeutic dyad\, this presentation focuses on three topics: the therapist’s early experiences and how they impact both our theory and practice\, the natural human limits of empathy\, and the role of enactment in the therapeutic process. This program is designed for working clinicians\, focusing heavily on clinical examples and opening up conversation about the ways we work and how we might creatively enhance our interventions with clients.

SUMMARY:Dynamics of Maternal Narcissism | Psychoanalytic Center of Philadelphia
DESCRIPTION:“In this latest installment of our case conference series\, targeted at early career clinicians and those curious to learn more about psychodynamic approaches to therapy\, PCOP psychotherapy student Nicole Flibbert Laurino\, LPC\, will present from her work with an adult patient treated in a community mental health setting\, who struggles with feeling “”not good enough”” and self critical tendencies\, and a fraught relationship with her critical mother. \nDiscussant Barbara Gray\, Ph.D.\, psychoanalyst\, and PCOP faculty member\, will provide insight into how the dynamics of maternal narcissism contributed to this patient’s conflicts and shaped her development\, and how to understand them in the present via transference feelings in the therapy relationship. The discussion will focus on clinical interventions and case formulation\, including concrete examples of “what to say\, when” from a psychodynamic lens that attendees can apply to their own clinical work. In the question and answer period that follows\, attendees will have an opportunity to discuss the case with Ms. Flibbert Laurino and Dr. Gray.” \njseixas@philanalysis.org \n

SUMMARY:Trauma: Developmental and Psychodynamic Views\,  Then and Now
DESCRIPTION:Denver Psychoanalytic Society \nThis event addresses: Trauma \nThe program is targeted at all levels of practitioners of mental health services and will discuss the effects of relational trauma\, misdiagnosis and misunderstanding of the effects on development and the necessity of genuine relationship in the healing process. We will look at progress and the ongoing struggle to understand experiences of early trauma on development and implications for treatment. \nDr. Annita Sawyer will trace her journey as a suicidal adolescent in 1960\, mistakenly diagnosed with schizophrenia and treated with ECT and lengthy hospitalizations over nearly 6 years. Using herself as a case study\, Annita speaks to lifetime consequences of childhood trauma\, harmful effects of fads in psychiatric diagnosis and treatment\, the enduring impact of stigma and shame\, and the power of human connection to heal.

SUMMARY:Film and Mind Online: ~ DOUBLE FEATURE ~ Ted K and Good Luck\, Leo Grande
DESCRIPTION:New Center of Psychoanalysis \nThis event addresses: Suppressed Familial Truths \nJoin NCP’s Film and Mind series online! A once a month psychoanalytic discussion of a topical film! \nOn May 12\, Film & Mind explores what makes a transformative movie with a doubleheader of two films of vastly different subject matter—Ted K (“The Unabomber”) and Good Luck to You\, Leo Grande. We will consider how each illustrates the art of universalist filmmaking while exploring specific and psychoanalytically important themes. \nTed K\, (2022\, 2 hours\, directed by Tony Stone) is a remarkably interesting film about the pathological idealism of domestic terrorist Ted Kaczynski\, the Unabomber of the late 20th Century. Utilizing a spare voiceover (culled from Kaczynski’s voluminous “Manifesto” ) and shot in the remote mountainous area of Montana where the Unabomber was arrested\, the film invites us into the autistic mind of Kaczynski and his 17 year long battle with technology and environmental devastation. With careful handling by director Stone and sensitive portrayal by Shallot Copley\, we are able to identify with the Unabomber’s rationalizations and his building fury and frustration. The subjective perspective spares the audience the bloody horror of the actual bombings\, and brilliantly leaves us pondering the extent to which the madman was a monster. \nGood Luck to You\, Leo Grande (2022\, directed by Sophie Hyde\, 97 minutes). A young sex worker with the skills of a psychotherapist + an older\, widowed school teacher (Emma Thompson) who has never experienced an Orgasm = Mutual Maturation in four sessions.

SUMMARY:Entering Night Country: Lessons from Orpheus  with Stephanie Brody\, PsyD; Elisa Cheng\, MD; Salman Akhtar\, MD; Dionne R. Powell\, MD; and Alan Pollack\, MD
DESCRIPTION:Boston Psychoanalytic Society & Institute \nThis event addresses: COVID-19\, Mortality \nDeath haunts human life. We cope by seeking a tolerable place between denial and terror. COVID\, and overlapping existential threats\, bring this struggle to the surface. Psychoanalysis believes that truth offers freedom. But how do we look at the truth of death\, when our own mortality\, and that of those we hold dear\, feels intolerable? \nThis panel offers a space to share this dilemma together\, clinically and personally. Our theme is set by Orpheus\, for whom not looking was to be the means of undoing the loss of his beloved Eurydice. But this isn’t a panel about mythology. Our use of Orpheus is merely to follow him into the territory of death and loss\, of looking at and simultaneously denying our truth.

SUMMARY:Alumni Group: Psychoanalysis – Beyond the Individual
DESCRIPTION:Center for Psychoanalytic Studies (900 Lovett Blvd\, Houston\, TX 77006) \nThis event addresses: Views beyond the intrapsychic approach towards interpersonal formulations\, dyadic and group aspects of human mental functioning \nPresenter: M Sagman Kayatekin MD – This session is targeted to help the treaters to have a multilayered\, psychoanalytically informed systemic formulation of the patient\, and strategize the treatment within that complicated formulation. Dr. Kayatekin has extensive experience in Psychoanalytic individual\, family\, group\, milieu and hospital teamwork. These contexts\, with their regressive/progressive capabilities on the person and the psychopathology\, provide a unique window to the fascinating interrelatedness of intra-psychic and interpersonal matrices of human minds. Clinical vignettes and publication from psychoanalytically informed multiple treater settings and discussion will expand participants’ understanding beyond the intrapsychic/dyadic psychoanalytic approaches that dominate the psychoanalytic theory.

SUMMARY:Study Group – Collisions and Uncomfortable Countertransference in the Clinical Encounter
DESCRIPTION:Houston Psychoanalytic Society \nThis event addresses: Collisions and Uncomfortable Countertransference in the Clinical Encounter \nFacilitated by Cynthia Mulder\, LCSW-S and Nancy Warren\, PhD \nCollisions and uncomfortable countertransference in the clinical process may have both conscious and unconscious contributions. The patient’s and therapist’s histories\, character structure\, wishes\, and expectancies may clash\, often fueled by external stresses and events\, and these factors may cause the treatment to flounder\, stagnate\, or end altogether. We will begin by considering Joyce Slochower’s notion of psychoanalytic collisions in the consulting room. Slochower\, who is a relational analyst influenced by Winnicott\, examines situations in which the clinician’s personal and professional wishes clash with the realities of everyday clinical work. We will explore ways that psychoanalytic collisions can be productively engaged even if they cannot be fully resolved\, which generally requires a maintenance of therapeutic hopefulness along with an acceptance of the therapist’s human fallibilities. \nWe will then undertake a closer examination of countertransference\, specifically\, Irwin Hirsch’s notion of coasting in the countertransference. Hirsch is relational analyst and intersubjectivist whose writings over the years have focused largely on countertransferential issues. Coasting refers to the clinician persisting in certain behaviors even after becoming aware of them\, behaviors indicating our apparent willingness to sacrifice the patient’s interest for our own comfort and equilibrium. As such\, we will examine how clinicians’ character structure and situational stresses influence their preference for certain types of patients and their clinical participation. We will consider how theory\, however helpful and necessary\, can also become a crutch. Finally\, we will examine how money complicates the therapist-patient relationship. \nThis study group is appropriate for beginning and seasoned clinicians with an intermediate level of knowledge about psychoanalytic theory. We will utilize readings with case examples\, which will hopefully stimulate open discussions about our own practices and patients. Study group participants must obtain a copy of the 2 textbook that we will use: Psychoanalytic Collisions (Slochower\, 2012) and Coasting in the Countertransference (Hirsch\, 2008).

SUMMARY:A Musical Model for Psychoanalysis
DESCRIPTION:Psychoanalytic Center of Philadelphia \nThis event addresses: Dr. Leopold Nosek will discuss his unique interdisciplinary approach for understanding how musical language contains a syntax that can be used to think about psychoanalysis. \nDr. Leopold Nosek will join us in person\, on Sunday\, April 30th\, for an intimate program that will focus on his unique interdisciplinary approach for understanding how musical language contains a syntax that can be used to think about psychoanalysis. This program will involve playing the last movement of Beethoven’s Sonata 32. Dr. Nosek will use literature references as well to consider T. W. Adorno’s argument and the Frankfurt School’s Critical Theory. Dr. Nosek will develop the argument that dreams configure a synthesis of opposites belonging to the past\, being substituted today by the identification of a moment of thought. In this presentation\, Dr. Nosek will explore the qualities of musical language as distinct from ordinary speech\, show how understanding musical language facilitates psychoanalytic work\, and furthers the analyst’s capacity to empathize with patients who have musical talents and interests.

SUMMARY:The 2023 Grotstein Memorial Lectures: Part 2
DESCRIPTION:New Center for Psychoanalysis \nThis event addresses: James Grotstein’s work in comparative psychoanalytic theory \nBion’s Analytic Technique \nJoseph Aguayo\, PhD — Training and Supervising Analyst\, Psychoanalytic Center of California; Faculty\, New Center for Psychoanalysis; Honorary Member\, British Psychoanalytical Society \nFor this presentation\, Joseph Aguayo takes up how Bion came to his Kleinian training as a seasoned psychiatrist who had worked intensively with groups. Maintaining that his group work informed the kind of Kleinian analyst he subsequently became\, specific attention will be paid to how he instigated variations on Kleinian technique by emphasizing that all analysis occurs in the ‘here and now\,’ and need not rely on making past-to-present Freudian or Kleinian transference links. Bion’s taking up of the wider notion of countertransference work\, which allowed the analyst to be equally informed by the patient’s subjective reactions—as well as his own—will also be addressed. While Bion fundamentally remained Kleinian in his clinical practices\, he did so in his own distinctive way.
