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: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:Connections And Conversation: Can You Cure Your Patient? – Koichi Tagashi\, PhD\, LP
DESCRIPTION:Free zoom event with Koichi Tagashi\, Ph.D.\, L.P.: Are you able to cure your patient? In this presentation\, I like to pose this question\, without defining what a “cure” might look like\, in order to get at your initial instinctive feeling. This presentation is intended to be an ethical question. I am not examining whether psychoanalysis or psychoanalytic psychotherapy can cure the human mind\, or what cases it can cure\, or how patients can be cured. I am examining how we are tempted to use psychoanalytic theory to explain and justify ourselves when we are asked these clinical questions. Imagine being asked by a patient\, “Can you cure me?” We may likely respond\, “Psychoanalysis is effective for cases of x\,” or “Psychoanalytic psychotherapy is less about treatment and more about making sense of the experience\,” or “Here is the process by which the mind is cured.” But none of these are an answer to the question the patient is asking us.

SUMMARY:Connections And Conversation: Ferenczi on Gender and Sexuality: Prelude To Laplanche – Adrienne Harris\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Free zoom event with Adrienne Harris\, Ph.D.: In this talk\, I consider Ferenczi’s groundbreaking work on sexual abuse in conjunction with other projects he undertook\, in which trauma\, regression\, and destructiveness clearly preoccupied him. In addition to attention to the landmark paper on sexual abuse\, “The Confusion of Tongues” (1929/32)\, I will draw on his work on sexuality\, his book Thalassa (2018) and on a later paper on the devastation of early neglect and trauma\, “The Unwelcome Child and his Death Instinct” (1929). In addition to these papers\, I link Ferenczi’s work on trauma to his paper on war neuroses (Ferenczi 1928; Harris\, 2018). In this presentation\, I hope to illuminate the originality and modernity of Ferenczi’s views on sexuality and the great difficulty they caused Freud.

SUMMARY:Connections And Conversation: Going Beneath the Surface: What People Want From Therapy – Linda Michaels\, PsyD\, MBA
DESCRIPTION:Free zoom event with Linda Michaels\, PsyD\, MBA: Our psychotherapy practices do not exist in a vacuum and in these last few years we have witnessed unprecedented upheaval in the areas of politics\, social justice\, the natural world\, and public health. It is vitally important for our practices and communities to be informed about what people are looking for in mental health treatment\, and how they think and feel about the therapies we offer. Therapies of depth\, insight\, and relationship have been missing from\, if not pushed out of\, the public conversation on mental health treatment. After decades of attack from multiple fronts\, these therapies are misunderstood\, undervalued\, and overlooked by the general public. To assess what people know about therapy and mental health and what they really want from treatment\, the Psychotherapy Action Network (PsiAN) conducted extensive original research with the general public. From this innovative and unprecedented effort to “listen” to the public\, we learned about the attitudes and expectations people have towards therapy\, which benefits matter most\, what their misperceptions and biases are\, and what they know and don’t know about mental health and therapy. This presentation will share the findings from PsiAN’s qualitative and quantitative research\, which was conducted both at the cusp of the pandemic and again several years into the pandemic. The presentation will also offer a blueprint for engaging and communicating with the public\, so that the public gains greater awareness\, understanding and appreciation for therapies of depth\, insight\, and relationship.

SUMMARY:Connections And Conversation: An Exploration of Psychosis Through the Schreber Case – Charles Turk
DESCRIPTION:Free zoom event with Charles Turk M.D. By means of a metapsychologic elaboration of certain psychoanalytic concepts “Le388” a psychoanalytic treatment program for psychotic young adults in Quebec City has achieved a 60% cure rate among those engaged in that program. Those cured have been guided to dismantle their delusion and to find satisfying activity in society. I will discuss these concepts with respect to the Schreber case – beginning with his memoirs and going on to the several writers who wrote about him: Freud\, Lacan\, Neiderland and Lothane. Hopefully this will generate a fruitful discussion among us.

SUMMARY:Connections And Conversation: Cupid’s Hour: The Transformative Potential of Female Erotic Countertransference – Janine De Peyer\, LCSW-R
DESCRIPTION:Free zoom event with Janine de Peyer\, LCSW-R: Why has so little been written about the female analyst’s sexual desire? Is sexual arousal during clinical work such a rarity\, or is it a natural response that has simply been relegated to the unmentionable? This workshop will explore cultural and gender prohibitions against the acknowledgement of the female analyst’s erotic arousal within the therapeutic dyad\, whether heterosexual\, same-sex or gender variant. Anchored by a particular case presentation in which an older\, cisgendered\, heterosexual female analyst finds herself unmoored by erotic stirrings toward her younger\, cisgendered\, heterosexual male patient\, de Peyer will explore the emergence of unsettling erotic countertransference\, her attempts to manage this arousal\, and the inherent potential for healing that resides within an intersubjective dynamic of eroticism. By examining the intersubjective collision between her own desire and her patient’s apparent absence of desire\, de Peyer will explore the emergence of dissociative transference-countertransference dynamics\, along with culturally embedded associations to gender\, power\, ageism\, the incest taboo\, and the potential for ethical boundary violation. This workshop will primarily draw on works by Atlas\, Celenza\, Davies\, and Elise.

SUMMARY:Connections And Conversation: Psychoanalytic Contributions to the Treatment of Eating Disorders – Tom Wooldridge PsyD\, ABPP\, FIPA\, CEDS-S
DESCRIPTION:Free zoom event with Tom Wooldridge\, PsyD\, ABPP\, FIPA\, CEDS-S : Psychoanalytic thinking offers valuable insights to clinicians working with eating disorders and body image concerns. In a field that increasingly emphasizes rapid symptom reduction\, treatment providers risk neglecting less overt\, and less easily measurable\, aspects of the patient’s experience. This presentation will bring together some of the latest thinking about how a psychoanalytic approach can help us to understand the emotional experience of an eating disorder more deeply. As a member of a larger treatment team\, the psychoanalyst assists the patient in contending with an internal landscape marked by isolation and loneliness as well as shame\, guilt\, and embarrassment\, not to mention a profound hopelessness about the possibilities of emotional connection. We will discuss the role of the psychoanalytic thinking within a broader therapeutic approach focus on concepts such as no-entry defenses\, alexithymia and disruptions in symbolic functioning\, autistic-contiguous uses of the body\, and self- and body-states.

SUMMARY:Psychoanalytic Substance Use Treatment: Reducing Harm Through Attuned Responsiveness
DESCRIPTION:D. Bradley Jones\, PsyD\, LCSW and Darren Haber\, PsyD\, MFT demonstrate how a relational psychoanalytic approach that engages the subjective experience of the patient and contextualizes emotional pain can facilitate developmental growth for two patients on the “continuum of change\,” not yet ready for abstinence. Heather Ferguson\, LCSW\, faculty from The Institute for the Psychoanalytic Study of Subjectivity in NYC\, will be the discussant. There will be time for audience discussion after the presentations. \nCE credit.

SUMMARY:Connections and Conversation:  Belonging and its Discontents – Eyal Rozmarin Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Free zoom event Eyal Rozmarin\, Ph.D: For a long time\, I have been interested in the relations between individuals and collectives: the groups they are\, and feel\, part of; the groups they identify with\, and in the act of identifying\, becoming who they are. In other words\, I’ve been interested in belonging: in how we are forced and-or choose belong\, and in what the power-desire knots of belonging do to us. The paper I will be presenting is about my own difficult belonging with the warring collectives that lay claims to the territory I was born in\, a territory known by the already revealing dual name: Israel-Palestine. The difficulty was there from the start\, but it has been increasing. It has become a permanent identity crisis. The state of exception Walter Benjamin speaks of is now the rule. It is how I feel my very own self now. I believe that many of us are going through something similar in these times of wars of extinction in the Middle East and Europe\, and arguably the entire planet: who do we belong with\, which also means who we are. I hope my paper could serve as a springboard for us to to think together about the life and death paradoxes of belonging\, and how we might address them going forward.

SUMMARY:Connections and Conversation with George Bermudez\, Ph.D.: Towards a Socio-centric Psychoanalysis Contributing to Deliberative Democracy: Social Dreaming\, Community Psychoanalysis\, & Reflective Citizenship
DESCRIPTION:Connections and Conversation is a free monthly Zoom meeting. The core thesis\, threading through several publications is that if contemporary psychoanalysis aspires to contribute to addressing our socio-political and ecological challenges\, we must develop an enlarged repertoire of theory and practice. The distinguished Harvard Law School Professor\, Lawrence Lessig has eloquently argued that repairing our dysfunctional democratic project is the “first problem” that must be fixed if there is to be any hope in effectively addressing all the other problems. I’ve developed the conviction that unless we co-create inclusive democratic processes and structures that authentically facilitate a citizenship which is engaged\, informed\, imaginatively deliberating together about the existential challenges we face\, and having a meaningful impact on political decision-making—we will remain stuck in systemic dysfunction. However\, I do believe (aligned with Kohut’s call for psychoanalysts to reflect on their group dynamics) that psychoanalysis has in fact\, over the course of its long history and multiple streams\, generated both theory and practice which has great promise for a socio-political contribution. In our conversation\, I will outline some of the pieces of an emergent socio-centric psychoanalysis and suggest an emergent path forward: Community Psychoanalysis; the Psycho-social Unconscious Citizenship Dream Group process; Social Dreaming integrated with Deliberative Democracy.\nThe “Community Psychoanalysis” paradigm proposes an integrative path forward with which psychoanalysis can contribute robustly to multidisciplinary strategies to addressing the multivalent “wicked problems”\, which are challenging our institute\, regional\, national\, and global communities. \n“Wicked problems” have no definitive formulation: these are problems which in a seemingly infinite regress are symptoms of other problems; problems which involve multiple stakeholders who like the proverbial blind men and the elephant have divergent and often incommensurable perceptions of the problem and its causes; problems which generate attempted solutions which in turn generate unintended consequences and new problems; problems with no objective right or wrong\, requiring reliance on human judgment\, subjectivity\, and collective wisdom.

SUMMARY:Connections and Conversation with Miri Abramis\, Ph.D.: Culture and the Texture of Experience: Multiple Systems Perspective from an Interpersonal Psychoanalytic Lens
DESCRIPTION:Connections and Conversation is a free monthly Zoom meeting. From the first contact with our patients\, we begin to engage the question: who is this person who has sought out our help? How do we understand their suffering? The maverick founders of interpersonal school of psychoanalysis\, originally known as the cultural school\, each in his/her own way\, focused on the powerful impact of culture and social systems on the psyche. This work has been most cogently extended in contemporary thought by Edgar Levenson. In the work of these practitioners and thinkers\, we can see how cultural forces are transmitted through family systems and other social institutions including in the relationship between therapist and patient. Today I will introduce what I am calling the cultural interpersonal lens\, a careful theorizing of the human organism evolving in multiple social systems and the forces that contribute to pathology and problems of living. I will discuss the assumptions and power of this perspective in our contemporary clinical work.

SUMMARY:Connections and Conversation- with Ruth Lijtmaer\, PhD: Silence\, Ghosts\, Secrets and Trauma
DESCRIPTION:Connections and Conversation is a free monthly Zoom meeting. This conversation will explore the space between violence and trauma is dangerous silence. Time\, space and history collides. Silence intensifies the impact of trauma\, and trauma that goes unspoken\, un-witnessed and unclaimed produces more trauma to self and others. Silence can be associated with a ghost\, as a metaphorical tool. Ghosts\, like the memory of trauma are both “there” and “not there” at the same moment\, making them ripe for the same “fact or fiction” scrutiny applied to massive trauma\, disbelief and outright denial. They are the keeper of secrets\, and they are the manifestations of something gone wrong. Their lingering on the living goes on for generations.

SUMMARY:In-person Connections and Conversation with Jimmy Fisher Ph.D.: A Psychoanalyst Serves on a Jury
DESCRIPTION:Free meeting with the ICP community in LA open to all.  Most psychoanalysts never serve on a jury. This essay narrates my experience of being juror number 11 for nine days. This criminal trial involved horrific allegations of rape\, sodomy\, kidnapping\, armed robbery\, and brutal beating. The case also involved issues of race and of violence. After attempting unsuccessfully to get dismissed from the jury pool\, I did my civic duty\, following the rule of law and the facts of the case. Simultaneously\, I conducted a thought experiment\, that is\, using psychoanalytic methods to track the various dimensions of participating in this intense and gruesome court case. I tried to be empathic to all members of the trial\, including the perpetrator\, the victim\, the witnesses\, the attorneys\, and the judge. I monitored the affects of the various participants and my own subjective and emotional reactions. I tracked the transference and countertransference. I focused on body language and the verbal cues of all involved. Because I was traumatized by serving on the jury\, writing this paper enabled me to work through some of my own difficulties triggered by jury service. I conclude by suggesting possible ways in which future jurors might be able to manage and reflect upon the secondary trauma of witnessing such heinous crimes\, including the processing of the guilt and shame of making judgments which will have lifelong consequences for the major participants in this story.
