SUMMARY:IPA COWAP NA and APSA COSWAG Film Series: Discussions on Gender COWAP North America Presents: Discussion of the film “Marie Langer: Desire and Revolution” (2025) by Marcelo Haber co-produced by Horacio Legras and  Belen de Martino
DESCRIPTION:Discussants: Virginia Ungar\, Marcelo Haber\, Horacio Legras\, and Belen de Martino \nModerator: Margarita Cereijido\, PhD \nFriday\, July 10\, 2026\n6:00 pm – 7:30 pm ET\nVia Zoom\nNOTE: a link to view the film will be sent out 2 weeks prior to the event. \nNo CME/CE\nDiscussion of the film: Marie Langer: Desire and Revolution (2025) \nA gender-focused discussion of Marcelo Haber’s film on Marie Langer\, with the participation of Virginia Ungar and the filmmaker. \nDrawing on Langer’s autobiography From Vienna to Managua\, the film interweaves fiction and documentary to trace a life shaped by war\, exile\, and political upheaval. From her training in interwar Europe to her foundational role in Argentine psychoanalysis and later work in Mexico\, Langer reimagined psychoanalysis as deeply embedded in social and political life. \nA committed feminist\, she challenged traditional psychoanalytic views of femininity and\, in 1951\, published Motherhood and Sexuality\, a pioneering work on the psychodynamics of femininity. Her break from institutional psychoanalysis foregrounds tensions between neutrality and ethical responsibility\, while her turn toward community mental health reflects her enduring commitment to bringing psychoanalysis beyond the consulting room and into collective life. \nThe film invites reflection on the analyst’s role in times of crisis\, positioning psychoanalysis as both a clinical practice and a transformative presence within communities. \nRegistration Link: https://wbcp.memberclicks.net/reg_cowap_ipa_film_7-10-26#!/ \nFlyer: https://wbcp.memberclicks.net/assets/docs/PR/25-26/7-10-26%20COWAP%20Film%20Series-%20Discussions%20on%20Gender.pdf

SUMMARY:Stacia I. Super Memorial Ethics Conference: Analyst Losses: Illness and Life-Changing Events and Their Effects on Treatment
DESCRIPTION:Stacia I. Super Memorial Ethics Conference \nPlease join us for a panel discussion on\nAnalyst Losses: Illness and Life-Changing Events and Their Effects on Treatment \nPresented by: Paula L. Ellman\, PhD\, Marc S. Levine\, MD\, and Harvey J. Schwartz\, MD\nModerated by: Sandra S. Lashley\, PsyD \nSunday\, December 7\, 2025\n1:00 – 4:00 pm\nPresentation and Discussion Via Zoom \nPresentation: This conference will address illness in the analyst and unexpected life changing events that impact treatment are not widely covered in literature. This is changing. More recent writings have brought this topic to the forefront\, with greater appreciation of the complex factors that impede on the analyst and make thinking about these unexpected events difficult. Ethical issues in regard to this area abound and include issues surrounding denial\, disclosure\, abstinence\, competence\, transference and impact on the treatment. This conference will be presented by three seasoned analysts\, all of whom experienced serious illness while in clinical practice. Integrating theoretical\, ethical and deeply personal experiences combined with their own writings\, issues surrounding disclosure\, defenses\, abstinence and the Transference/countertransference matrix will be explored. \nRegistration Link: https://wbcp.memberclicks.net/reg_stacia_ethics_12-7-25#/ \nFull Program Flyer: https://wbcp.memberclicks.net/assets/docs/PR/25-26/Stacia%20I%20Super%20Memorial%20Ethics%20flyer%2012-7-25.pdf

SUMMARY:Cultural Competence Conference: Misogyny Then and Now: Implications for Psychoanalytic Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:Please join WBCP with COWAP North America (Committee on Women and Psychoanalysis\, International Psychoanalytical Association (IPA)) for: \nMisogyny Then and Now: Implications for Psychoanalytic Perspectives \nPresented by:\nSpecial Guest\, filmmaker\, Jennifer Reeves\, Margarita Cereijido\, PhD\,\nPaula Ellman\, PhD\, David Joseph\, MD\, Janice Lieberman\, PhD \nSaturday\, November 22\, 2025\n10:00 am – 1:00 pm (3 CME/CE)\nPresentation and Discussion via Zoom \nPresentation:\nNotions of the feminine and misogyny have changed significantly since the 1960s. These changes are reflected in how women perceive themselves and how they are understood and positioned in society. \nIn this conference\, we discuss and compare the unconscious gender ideals and prejudices of the 1960s with those of today. We explore the evolution of the ethical treatment of women as well as developments in psychotherapy and psychoanalytic technique. \nOur discussion is framed by the classic documentary Approaches to Psychotherapy (1964) which has recently been reimagined in a new film\, The Gloria of My Imagination (2025)\, by the talented award-winning film-director Jennifer Reeves. In her film\, Reeves explores the social context of Gloria’s life. \nThe original film captured the work of three renowned figures—Carl Rogers\, Fritz Perls\, and Albert Ellis—in their sessions with Gloria\, a newly divorced patient. For decades\, it served as a cornerstone in the training of psychology students worldwide. \nAlong with Reeves’ reflections on her film through screening selected clips\, Margarita Cereijido\, Paula Ellman\, Janice Lieberman and David Joseph present and discuss changing perspectives on femininity\, misogyny\, and psychoanalytic theory and technique followed by engagement with the audience. \nAttendees will have access to the complete film 2 weeks prior to the conference. \nRegistration Link: https://wbcp.memberclicks.net/reg_cultural_competence_11-22-25#/ \nFor more information view the full program flyer: https://wbcp.memberclicks.net/assets/docs/PR/25-26/Cultural%20Competence%20with%20COWAP%20flier%2011-22-25%28No%29.pdf

SUMMARY:Psychoanalytic Takes On Cinema: Session 1 of 3: Discussion of the film “The Thing”
DESCRIPTION:Session 1 of 3 \n*** Film must be viewed prior to event. *** \nDiscussion of the film “The Thing” \nFriday\, November 14\, 2025\n4:00 pm – 5:30 pm\nVia Zoom \n1982 (109 min)\nDirector: John Carpenter\nDiscussant: Alex Smith\, Psy.D. \nA research team in Antarctica is hunted by a shape-shifting alien that assumes the appearance of its victims. \nPresentation: At surface level fantastical\, appalling\, and occasionally comical\, horror renders that which is unthinkable or unspeakable into inhuman\, slimy\, or spectral forms\, presenting the taboo or the overwhelming at a safe\, controllable distance from the self. In horror\, unthinkable and unspeakable aspects of the “self” can be experienced as the monstrous “other” and exorcised with flamethrowers. The horror movie generates credibility through performance\, photography\, and effects that ground the viewer in a “reality” that can then become credibly unreal. This magical reality evokes archaic experiences of the self as unbounded and vulnerable\, taking on challenging\, unsettling thoughts and feelings while allowing for the suspension of the neatly boundaried “I” of the viewer. \nJohn Carpenter’s The Thing belongs to a rich tradition of paranoia and body horror in the uncanny narrative and horror cinema. The self\, here under the condition of isolation and environmental confusion\, becomes vulnerable to external corruption. The un-integrable impulse is cast off\, producing a disintegrated state. Then\, in the presence of an alien “other”\, the once familiar body is usurped. The mind is subsumed. The “me” becomes a “me” copy that is at once terrifying and terrified\, its sole purpose being to consume additional “others.” The Thing is an allegory for the mental mechanisms of unbounded consciousness: not only the body\, but also the psychological boundaries constituting the self\, are at risk. \nIn working on this allegory\, we will briefly touch on horror cinema’s enduring interest in paranoia and the unbounded consciousness. We will consider Clara Keane’s clairvoyant work on existential permeability and Andre Green’s psychic envelopes as regards their explanatory power for experiences of unbounded consciousness\, paranoia\, and uncanny encounters. We will see how The Thing\, as an apex of creeptastic cinema\, resonates with our own experiences—both archaic and present-day—of the fragility of our distinct\, boundaried sense of a “me”\, and why it matters. \nDiscussant: Alex Smith\, PsyD\, is the Director of the Psychology Department at the Psychiatric Institute of Washington. He completed his MFA at the New School for Social Research\, his PsyD at the George Washington University\, and his internship and postdoctoral fellowship at the New York Psychoanalytic Society and Institute. Alex is the author of the novella HIVE\, and his stories and poems have appeared in various small publications and anthologies\, the most recent being The New Flesh: A Literary Tribute to David Cronenberg. \nPre-registration is required via the WBCP website at http://wbcp.org.

SUMMARY:Observational Studies Program Conference: Exploring the Links: Moving from Observation to Transformative Interventions – Jeanne Magagna\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Exploring the Links: Moving from Observation to Transformative Interventions \nWe are excited to announce our upcoming conference with\nJeanne Magagna\, PhD\,\nTavistock Centre-trained Child\, Adolescent and Adult Psychotherapist\nLondon\, UK \nSaturday\, November 1\, 2025\nGeorge Washington University Hospital Auditorium\n8:45 am – 4:45 pm ET\n6 CME/CE \nDr. Magagna’s work emphasizes the transformative power of observing babies\, a skill she has taught worldwide based on the Tavistock Clinic model. This approach has profound implications for enhancing our understanding of children and their families\, illustrating how early observation can deepen parents’ comprehension of their children. Her commitment to this method led to the development of a specialized nursery in Rome. She teaches and publishes internationally. Jeanne is the Joint Editor of various books including Intimate Transformations: Babies with their Families\, Psychotherapy with Families\, Being Present for Your Nursery Age Child and The Silent Child: Communication without Words\, Creativity and Psychotic States and Contemporary Child Psychotherapy. She is also the author of The Psychotherapeutic Understanding of Children and Adolescents with Eating Difficulties. \nHer most impactful work\, “The Silent Child: Communication Without Words\,” explores the challenges of treating 19 comatose non-verbal children in talking therapies. Magagna’s approach to psychotherapy is grounded in her early life experiences and the inspiration she drew from Esther Bick\, the originator of infant observation. Her journey from learning the craft under Bick’s tutelage to becoming a globally recognized educator and clinician underscores her passion and dedication to child mental health. \nClick the link for a personal invitation from Dr. Magagna and learn more about the upcoming conference: https://youtu.be/WIaCjK9V1ag \nRegistration Link: https://wbcp.memberclicks.net/reg_osp_conference_11-1-25 \nProgram Flyer: https://wbcp.memberclicks.net/assets/docs/PR/25-26/OSP%20Conference%2011-1-25.pdf

SUMMARY:LGBTQ+ Workshop: Monstrousness and Aliveness: Engaging Gender in Psychoanalysis
DESCRIPTION:LGBTQ+ Workshop\nPlease join us as\nSien Rivera\, MD and Justin Shubert\, PsyD\, PhD\npresent\nMonstrousness and Aliveness: Engaging Gender in Psychoanalysis\nSunday\, October 5\, 2025\nPublic Session:\n1:00 – 4:00 pm\nPresentation and Discussion Via Zoom \nPresentation: This workshop seeks to explore a range of engagements with gender in the psychoanalytic encounter. One portion of the workshop will explore how contemporary anti-trans legislation and cultural narratives of monstrosity distort the analytic space for trans and gender expansive patients\, threatening their capacity for playful work\, while highlighting how trans survival and creativity might persist in the face of annihilating projections. The other portion turns to aliveness: how loosening gender constraints in the consulting room allows for the exploration and re-avowal of certain\, gendered parts and ultimately can lead to a unique\, profound experience of feeling alive.

SUMMARY:The Thomas and Julia Saltz Annual Adult Seminar Workshop featuring Dr. Anton Hart
DESCRIPTION:The Thomas and Julia Saltz\nAnnual Adult Seminar Workshop  \nPresents\nSomething to Lose: Being in Dialogue About Difference When We Feel Like Leaving\nA special presentation by\nDr. Anton Hart \nWhen: February 1\, 2025\nTime: 9:00 am – 11: 30 am \nLive Presentation \nWhere: University Club of Washington DC\n1135 16th Street NW\, Washington\, DC 20036 \nThis event qualifies for required DEI credits for WBCP Faculty \nRegistration Link: https://wbcp.memberclicks.net/reg_salz_seminar_anton_hart_february_1_2025#!/ \nProgram Flyer: https://wbcp.memberclicks.net/assets/docs/PR/24-25/Saltz%20Lecture-Anton%20Hart%202%3A1%3A25.pdf \nRegistration Deadline: January 29\, 2025 \nSeating is limited. We recommend registering early to guarantee your spot. \nPresentation:  \nRacial and other diversities-related enactments in psychoanalytic and other organizations that convene\, and train\, psychotherapists can be observed to occur regularly\, exposing schisms that are carried and caused by personal\, relational\, and social-structural elements. Our collective good intentions and “diversity trainings” fail to avert this. This experiential presentation proposes a framework for being in dialogue about differences when such dialogue becomes difficult\, and impasse seems inevitable. \nAlertness to emergent enactment\, and receptivity to the possibility of our unwitting\, unconscious participation in such enactment—called “radical openness” by the presenter—is seen as key to finding our way out of oblivious\, polarized\, and entrenched\, positions. \nA framework is offered for understanding the challenges and promises of addressing enactments involving race\, class\, culture\, sex\, gender\, and other forms of divisive difference. This will involve placing attention to security and self-esteem concerns (of self and other)\, and a corresponding need for openness to discovery of unconscious implication\, at its center. We will use compelling\, hypothetical vignettes derived from psychoanalytic institute life to explore the idea that setting out to lose what we already know could be a useful strategy for being in and tolerating the anxieties of “impossible” conversations.

Through a discussion of the 2023 animated mockumentary\, Marcel the Shell with Shoes On\, we will focus on the role of awe in life and in therapy and examine its potential to mitigate grief and isolation and boost our resilience in the face of personal and communal experiences of trauma and loss.

SUMMARY:COWAP: “Women\, The Longest Revolution”: Session 3: In Her Own Voice
DESCRIPTION:Session 3: In Her Own Voice: Challenging Theories of Women’s Development \nParticipants: Nancy Kulish and Catherine Mallouh \nRegistration Deadline: December 11\, 2024 \nFor additional information including the program flyer\, speaker bios\, and information about future sessions please visit the informational program page: \n\nCOWAP: “Women\, The Longest Revolution” Presenter Biographies \n\nDescription: \nNotions of woman and the feminine have changed dramatically over the last decades and this is reflected in how women perceive themselves\, how they are perceived by society\, and how they are understood from a psychoanalytic perspective. This program will look at the ways in which Nancy Kulish has transformed and enriched psychoanalytic thinking about female development\, femininity and gender. With Deanna Holtzman\, she broke new ground in reformulating Freud’s notion of the feminine Oedipal and radically incorporating a feminist perspective on women’s sexuality and girl’s and women’s experiences\, a perspective which has deepened our understanding of the early relationship to the mother. She has also considered the female body and women’s conflicts around competition and envy. Her ideas have had implications for clinical work with women and the struggles they face both internally and in the society at large. Catherine Mallouh will be in conversation with Nancy about her the development of her ideas and how she views sexuality and gender and women’s development now.

SUMMARY:LGBTQ+ Workshop: "Holding Laplanche Lightly: The Story of Two Queer Treatments"
DESCRIPTION:Time: 1:00pm – 4:00pm \nPresenter: Sam Guzzardi\, LCSW \n“Holding Laplanche Lightly: The Story of Two Queer Treatments” \nVia Zoom \nPresentation: \nAs psychoanalysis seeks to find new frontiers both for clinical work and engagement with the social\, the work of Jean Laplanche is becoming increasingly popular in the United States. In this presentation\, participants will hear the stories of two queer patients whose treatment was\, borrowing from Donna Orange\, informed “holding lightly” the theories of Jean Laplanche. Designed particularly for those who may be unfamiliar with Laplanche’s ideas or uncertain about their relevance to those interested in clinical practice\, this presentation will both explicate the fundamentals of Laplanchian theory while avoiding the notion of “applying” Laplanche to clinical work. Rather\, through conversation and the telling of clinical story\, participants will be invited to experience a Laplanchian sensibility in clinical work\, particularly as it relates to issues of queerness and LGBTQ+ experience.

SUMMARY:Raphling Memorial Lecture: Racial Rage\, Racial Guilt: The Uses of Anger in Asian America
DESCRIPTION:Racial Rage\, Racial Guilt: The Uses of Anger in Asian America \nTime: 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm \nPresenter: David L. Eng \nLive Presentation \nPost Hall\nGeorge Washington University Mt. Vernon Campus \nREGISTRATION DEADLINE: Wednesday\, October 2\, 2024   \nDescription:  \n  Asian Americans are conventionally described as “middle-man minorities\,” outside of dominant racial paradigms of White and Black\, adjunct to White privilege and exempt from the brunt of systemic violence directed against Black people. Historical accounts of the in-betweenness of Asian Americans trace their origins to how Asian coolie labor has served to triangulate White capital and African slavery over the course of European modernity. If this is the material history of in-betweenness\, what is the psychic corollary of the middle-man thesis? Through an analysis of the Netflix dark comedy series Beef\, as well as case histories of Asian American patients and students\, I argue that the psychic effects of occupying a racially intermediate position implicate an unexplored terrain of racial rage and racial guilt that Asian Americans are insistently socialized to hold on behalf of others.

SUMMARY:"Encountering Representations of Evil" with Donald Moss\, MD
DESCRIPTION:Evil is grounded in an effort to correct the errors of Creation– to define\, categorize and eliminate what it designates as sources of threat and pain. This logic of elimination distinguishes evil from sadism’s logic of excitement. Stressing personal reactions and leaning on the work of Freud\, Primo Levi and Hannah Arendt\, the text takes up pertinent issues raised by Israel/Gaza and by the Institute for Peace and Justice (the “lynching museum”) in Montgomery\, Alabama. \nCE.

SUMMARY:The Unseen: Breaking Barriers and Building Bridges in Psychoanalysis: Community Psychoanalysis into the Future
DESCRIPTION:2-Day Conference – *Early-bird Registration Ends February 1\, 2024*\nPresenters: Francisco J. González\, MD; Kimberlyn Leary; PhD\, ABPP; Daniel Gaztambide\, PsyD; Paula Christian-Kliger\, PhD\, ABPP \nOur world is on fire! Global crises necessitate a proactive response from psychoanalysts and psychodynamic therapists. The wars around the world\, COVID-19 pandemic\, climate crisis\, mass displacement of refugees\, economic and political turbulence and historical racial injustices\, challenge us to leverage our expertise\, resources\, and ethical responsibilities for the betterment of society. \nIn this two-day conference\, featured speakers will explore the intersection of the personal and social unconscious\, and how psychoanalysts must engage with the socio-political world. The conference will offer a liminal space for participants to immerse themselves in dialogue about contemporary society. A short-film “We Are Human First\,” will serve as a catalyst for deeper conversations about psychoanalytic applications beyond the consulting room. Through small and large group experiences\, participants will have opportunities to share reflections in a reciprocal learning environment. We will delve into theoretical discourse and clinical material with the aim of legitimizing community psychoanalysis as a vital component of psychoanalytic institutional training. \nAPsA Department of Psychoanalytic Education: Psychoanalyst in the Community Section \nCosponsors:  Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute\, Columbia University Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research\, Contemporary Freudian Society\, Harlem Family Institute\, Massachusetts Institute for Psychoanalysis\, Oregon Psychoanalytic Center\, Community Psychoanalysis Track at the Psychoanalytic Institute of Northern California\, Washington Baltimore Center for Psychoanalysis. \n10 CE credits (Cultural Competence credits)
