SUMMARY:Erotic Entanglements in the Search to Be and Belong: Traversing the Forcefield of Dependency and Desire
DESCRIPTION:This paper takes up the clinical challenges of working with patients for whom the repetitive pursuit of intense\, erotic relationships both expresses and conceals yearnings to be and belong. While sexual experiences can elicit core fantasies of transformation\, awareness of the very otherness that offers such promise also threatens a fragile self and is thus negated. A detailed clinical account illuminates sexuality’s dense entanglement with experiences of coming alive and the knotted strands of character armor\, sexual charge\, developmental trauma\, disintegrative anxieties\, and concretized longings for physical touch that permeate eroticism in the space of breakdown. The author takes up how these unstable intersections contribute to patients’ and analysts’ fears and avoidance of engaging these entanglements in the analytic relationship with its inherent seductions and frustrations; at the same time\, it’s through delving into and living through these overlaps that the basic issues of being and becoming can emerge.

SUMMARY:Windows into Psychotherapy
DESCRIPTION: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:Here I'm Alive: The Spirit of Music in Psychoanalysis with Adam Blum\, PsyD\, Peter Goldberg\, PhD\, & Michael Levin\, PsyD
DESCRIPTION:This panel will explore how music comprises the forms of collective living in which the body finds its place in psychical life. The presentations will describe the ways that the vitality of the psychoanalytic clinical process depends at all times on this background quality of shared music\, and how many of the contemporary maladies we encounter in our work reflect the sensory and emotional isolation of those who remain dissociated from this musical weave of human being. The presenters will use selections of music\, draw upon clinical theory\, and provide a link to philosophy\, neuroscience\, and cultural history to frame a discussion of the musical dimension of our psyche-soma-social world.

SUMMARY:Truth\, Reconciliation\, and Reparation
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Paula Christian Kliger\, PhD. \nTaking the position that a road paved with truth\, reconciliation\, and reparation is the road less traveled in our racial and sociocultural healing and our search for human resonance\, this presentation seeks to face our toxic history and asks the question “How do we heal?” It also asks the question “How do we move to sharing power and human resonance in our diverse world\, given our cumulative trauma of prejudice\, discrimination\, racism\, immeasurable global human suffering\, cruelty\, domination\, oppression\, home-grown domestic and police violence\, war\, and genocide?” Weaving in topics such as the 2014 murder of Michael Brown\, Dr. Kliger will encourage us to hold in mind others who remain the “unheard and unseen;” those whose emotional\, mental\, and spiritual safety and security is not assured—including our Black and brown\, Indigenous\, Asian\, and Jewish communities\, from younger to elder\, gendered\, transgender\, and nonbinary neighbors. She aims to foster our ability to integrate the destructive\, cumulative\, and collective trauma our ancestors passed on to us as well as our inheritance of their adaptive strengths and gifts. The ultimate goal of this presentation is to arise out anew\, wiser\, more ably exposed\, and emotionally ready for Truth\, Reconciliation and Reparation to take hold within ourselves\, and then\, to expand the inner communal circle to see and be with the Truth residing in others. \nCE credits.

SUMMARY:Psychedelics in an Age of Freud and Pharmacology: What Happened Before\, What is Happening Now\, Why it Matters
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Anne Harrington\, Ph.D.\nIn the 1940s\, the drug company Sandoz sponsored a study of LSD at the University of Zurich which came to the conclusion that this was a drug that made normal people temporarily schizophrenic. Sandoz subsequently decided to promote LSD as a research drug for experimental investigations of schizophrenia\, and especially its possible biochemical basis. But\, somewhat confusingly\, the company also did something else: they suggested that the psychoanalysts also take a look at the drug\, because there was evidence that it gave people access to the unconscious contents of their minds and could sometimes be therapeutic. \nSo which was it: a path to madness or a path to health? A drug for the biologists to study\, or a tool for the psychoanalysts to employ? In this seminar\, I will track the contradictions and ambiguities structuring mid-20th-century clinical conversations about the meaning and uses of psychedelics. An important goal will be to identify the legacies and unfinished business from that earlier era and show the ways some of them\, perhaps unconsciously\, are shaping current efforts and conversations. \nCE Credits.

SUMMARY:Increasing Adaptive Racial Socialization for Black Boys: A Culturally Competent Psychodynamic Analysis
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Huey Hawkins Jr.\, PhD\, LCSW. \nBlack men living in America have been designated as an “endangered species” for a variety of reasons\, namely the targeting and violence done to young Black men by police. Such experiences leave the parents of young Black boys to worry on a constant basis about the safety of their sons. Few scholars\, however\, have examined the unconscious effects of such worry on the young Black child’s experience of the holding environment and the subsequent identifications that inform his sense of self in relation to others. \nInspired by a recent qualitative research study\, this program explores the implicit and explicit psychological effects of cultural trauma. It aims to prepare the clinician: (1) to understand normative psychological experiences of racism for Black boys; (2) to cultivate a positive racial identity for Black boys; and (3) to teach Black boys ways to navigate safety in harmful racist environments.

SUMMARY:Revisiting Soul Murder with Paul Williams\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Soul Murder is a crime\, not a diagnosis\, Leonard Shengold argues. It comprises a particularly toxic combination of chronic abuse (sexual\, physical or emotional)\, and extreme neglect of a child’s healthy developmental needs. In this presentation\, the history of soul murder will be considered together with clinical accounts and examples from literature. It will be proposed that the soul murderer is continually murdering themselves\, and imposes on the infant this identification with a murderous internal part-object. So powerful is the projective identification and the introjection that the child yields their true self to a form of death by brainwashing. Less dramatic but similarly debilitating versions of this can occur in perverse relationships in which sadism is a feature. Rehabilitation of a soul murdered individual requires acceptance and recognition of murder\, the absence of a true self and the growth of a self from ashes. This clinical picture provides analysts with an unusual set of circumstances\, which may or may not include psychosis\, but will reveal trauma at multiple levels of experience. How to think about\, and modify analytic technique\, particularly in the countertransference\, in order to listen to a soul murdered person\, will be emphasized.

SUMMARY:Gender without Identity\, Trauma as Resource
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Avgi Saketopoulou\, Psy.D. \nAt a time of unprecedented legislative attacks on LGBTQ+ people\, with gender-affirming care for trans youth being banned in multiple states\, psychoanalysts are increasingly confused about how to approach gender complexity. Is gender a core part of the self that just needs to be discovered and granted recognition? Is it the scar tissue of an individual’s trauma or the outcome of a traumatic intergenerational transmission? And what do its origins have to do with how we work with trans individuals?\nArguing for the importance of abandoning the fiction of “core gender identity”\, Saketopoulou urges us to relinquish the fantasy that there is something true or authentic about any gender. Gender\, as she will discuss\, is something all subjects (not just trans and queer subjects) acquire. Trauma\, she proposes\, may sometimes have a share in that acquisition. Conceptualizing trauma alongside diverse genders and sexualities is not about invalidating transness and queerness\, but about illuminating their textures so that clinical work may enable the flourishing of queer and trans patients.

SUMMARY:A Permanent Earthquake Revisited: Reflections on Psychotherapy with Children on the Autism Spectrum with Jeffrey L. Eaton\, MA\, FIPA
DESCRIPTION:This event will be presented in two parts. In Part 1\, Jeff L. Eaton\, MA\, FIPA will read his 2006 Frances Tustin Memorial Lecture titled “A Permanent Earthquake: Notes on the Treatment of a Young Boy”. This paper describes in detail the psychoanalytic treatment of a boy diagnosed with Autism by the University of Washington Autism Center. The essay gives a detailed feel for the therapeutic process while also exploring many of Frances Tustin’s seminal ideas. \nIn Part 2\, he will offer a short essay on what he has observed and learned since writing his Tustin lecture\, having treated several more children diagnosed on the Autism Spectrum. His emphasis will be on the details of the clinical process and interaction\, and some of the special challenges in making contact with difficult-to-reach children.

SUMMARY:Othering Enactments in Psychoanalytic Organizations: Problems and Promises
DESCRIPTION:Although we might wish for them not to\, racial enactments in psychoanalytic organizations can be observed to happen regularly\, exposing schisms that are borne of personal\, social\, and structural elements. Now\, in the wake of contemporary racial polarization and galvanizing instances of brutality\, and in the ongoing context of widespread social division\, upheaval\, and international warfare\, the psychoanalytic world is grappling with where we have been\, where we are now\, and where we are headed. \nThis presentation offers a framework for understanding the problems and promises of enactments involving race\, culture\, and other forms of divisive difference\, placing awareness of safety and the need for openness at its center. It can be perpetually difficult to engage in dialogue across the borders of entrenched difference\, and not infrequently\, as in the case of enactment experience\, communication can seem to break down when polarization overwhelms dialogic co-commitment. Through the consideration of vignettes involving racial (and other diversity-related) enactments\, the obstacles to participants’ capacity for humility and receptive\, “radical” openness will be explored. Attention to matters of safety and unsafety\, for all those involved\, will be seen as an essential component in the creation of new dialogic possibility.

SUMMARY:Radical Psychoanalysis
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Harold Braswell\, PhD\, MSW. The word “radical” is generally understood to mean a break from tradition. But\, etymologically\, the term also connotes a return to one’s roots. A “radical” psychoanalysis would\, in this sense\, seem paradoxical—but perhaps\, in the process\, faithful to the nature of the unconscious itself. This course explores this paradoxical radicality in three areas of psychoanalytic inquiry: clinical practice\, political action\, and the mind-body relationship. First\, we read Barnaby Barratt’s rethinking of oedipality alongside Dagmar Herzog’s analysis of Felix Guattari’s relevance to the “psychoanalytic left;” then we will read Daniel Gaztambide’s account of Freud as a “proto-postcolonial theorist” alongside Lara and Stephen Sheehi’s study of psychoanalysis in occupied Palestine; finally\, Jamieson Webster’s rethinking of conversion disorder will be considered alongside Michelle Stephen’s argument about the centrality of Black Lives Matter to psychoanalytic subjectivity. \nCE available.

SUMMARY:"Note To Self: It's Time to Learn Lacan!" - An Introduction to Lacanian Clinical Theory and Practice
DESCRIPTION:Bruce Fink joins NCP to discuss Lacan’s Clinical Theory”Analysts on the whole imagine that to understand is an end in itself… To think\, it is often better not to understand; and one can gallop along\, understanding for miles and miles\, without the slightest thought being produced.” – Lacan\, 1958 \nThis meeting is designed for analytically oriented therapists interested in learning how Lacan’s ideas translate into clinical practice. Lacan’s clinical theory will be spelled out in detail; attendees need not be pre-acquainted with Lacan’s work. Attendees should come away with a solid grasp of the reasoning behind the Lacanian emphasis on bringing about four specific change-producing clinical events. The goal of this program is to challenge preconceived notions about how therapy works–particularly\, the belief that psychic change chiefly results from a conveyance of the analyst’s knowledge about the patient to the patient—typically in the form of interpretations. The program is structured as a dialogue between student (Richard Tuch) and teacher (Bruce Fink). \nLacan emphasized the task of creating a facilitating environment favoring the emergence of sequestered psychic content that comes forth unwittingly when free association reveals to the patient things he barely knew he knew until he heard himself say as much out loud. Lacanians also facilitate a patient’s use of symbolic (meaningful) speech and tolerance of uncertainty and states of unknowing. \nA study of Lacan’s clinical theory calls for nothing less than a thoughtful reconsideration of psychoanalysis’ most basic assumptions about how therapy effects change: \nWhether the unconscious can be made conscious.\nWhether improving a patient’s tolerance of uncertainty and the unknown is a clinically vital goal.\nWhether deconstructing (calling into question) a patient’s core assumptions and prevailing beliefs about who he is as a person is as centrally important as Lacanians claim it to be.\nWhether treatment is better served when the analyst is less forthcoming and less clear about his ideas about the patient.\nWhether it is important to conduct treatment in a fashion that emphasizes the patient’s responsibility for his suffering and for the lion’s share of the clinical work.

SUMMARY:A Day with Carol Gilligan - In a Human Voice: A Story That Goes Beyond Gender
DESCRIPTION:Carol Gilligan joins NCP to discuss her newly released book In a Human Voice.\nIt has been over forty years since the publication of Gilligan’s revolutionary book In a Different Voice (1982)\, when she amplified women’s voices on self and moral development\, helping them to be heard in their own right\, and with their own integrity. With In a Human Voice\, she argues that human voices go beyond gender and speak for an ethics of integrity\, respect\, and loyalty. The human voice is a voice of resistance\, direct and compassionate\, a requisite for love\, and an advocate for democracy. Gilligan is now Professor of Humanities and Applied Psychology at New York University and a Principal Investigator for the Advancement of Our Common Humanity. She is a widely sought-after speaker\, and we are thrilled that she has come to Los Angeles to have a dialogue with us. \nDr. Susan Hekman\, Professor of Political Science at the University of Texas\, will also share her thoughts about Gilligan’s writings. Hekman’s 1995 book Moral Voices\, Moral Selves examines key problems in moral theory. \nIn the afternoon session\, Clare Knudson\, a Candidate in the Child & Adolescent Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Program at NCP\, will present a clinical case and invite the audience to discuss identity\, self\, and morality\, and the ways women continue to prioritize an “ethics of care.” \n5 CE/CME Credits \n***Registration will close at 4:00 PM the day before the event. No registrations are possible after this time\, no exceptions.***
