SUMMARY:The Allure of Fascism: A Psychoanalytic Conversation
DESCRIPTION:The Allure of Fascism and the Appointment in Samarra (presented by Era A. Loewenstein\, PhD with discussion by Michael J. Diamond\, PhD\, FIPA)\nIncreasingly we are observing the rise of proto-fascist parties around the world and in the American MAGA political movement. Building on the fable The Appointment in Samarra\, the presentation will discuss the characteristic features of fascistic states of mind. Reflecting on her own history that began when her father was forced to escape Vienna in 1938\, following the Austrian Anschluss\, Dr. Loewenstein will trace the subsequent generational futile efforts to escape extreme forms of nationalism and fascism\, first in Israel\, where she was born\, and then in United States following the election of Donald Trump. The talk will address the author’s own blindness to the fate of the Palestinians during the Nakba\, the Palestinian Catastrophe of 1948.  Era will address the disturbing allure of fascistic states of mind\, an allure that makes it increasingly apparent that the hideous face of fascism may be a permanent by-product of modern democracies. The talk will expand on a considerably shorter version published in February 2023 in Room: A Sketchbook for Analytic Action: https://analytic-room.com/essays/fascism-the-appointment-in-samarra-by-era-loewenstein \nDialogue: Following the presentation and the discussion\, Era and Michael will engage in a conversation with John DiMartini\, PhD\, Moderator\, and with the audience.

SUMMARY:Googling for Ghosts: Confessions of a Reluctant Psychoanalyst
DESCRIPTION:Sylvia Flescher\, M.D.\, will join us in person on Friday\, November 17th\, and share with us excerpts from her memoir-in-progress. Her memoir describes the evolution of her identity as a clinician since her analytic training in the ’80s. Dr. Flescher will talk about the origins and development of her ambivalence towards psychoanalysis\, considering the role that her training analysis played as well as the impact that her father –an analyst\, psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor– had on her. \nIn a poignant and open way\, she will share with us how she struggled to find her own voice\, and how her life experiences exemplify the phenomenon of intergenerational transmission of trauma. Dr. Flescher’s presentation will address the unique trajectory that each clinician paves through their own life experiences\, and will show how writing a memoir can support and extend the working through process for analysts across their professional life. She sees her memoir as both an homage to her father and as a means of exorcising him and his long shadow from her psyche. \nCE available

SUMMARY:Psychedelics in Psychoanalysis
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Megan Rundel\, PhD\, is a practitioner of psychedelic-assisted psychoanalysis in Oakland\, CA. In this course\, we will explore the psychedelic renaissance in mental health treatment and how it is relevant to psychoanalysis. We will consider the history of psychedelic use\, and cultural issues that exert strong influence on our attitudes toward them. We will learn about the major psychedelic compounds being studied for efficacy in mental health disorders\, their efficacy\, mode of action\, legal status\, and contraindications. Then we will consider how psychoanalysts are uniquely well positioned to understand expanded states of consciousness\, and explore clinical issues in working with patients who use psychedelics.

SUMMARY:Racial Melancholia\, Guilt\, and Repair with David L. Eng\, PhD & ShinHee Han\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Hybrid Program – In Person in Portland\, OR or Virtual via Zoom (this program will not be recorded). \nSpeakers: David L. Eng\, PhD & ShinHee Han\, PhD \nIn this workshop\, we will consider how social and psychic processes of loss for Asian Americans are mediated\, mitigated\, and exacerbated by the problem of guilt. Scholars working on identity politics have embraced a range of affective states — including melancholy\, pride\, shame\, and anger — as theoretically and politically productive emotions. In contrast\, guilt is more typically attributed to others than assumed by the self. Indeed\, discerning the guilt of others is often a means of proclaiming the righteousness of one’s self. If guilt is the sine qua non for initiating psychic processes of repair in object relations\, how does the repudiation of guilt foreclose the possibility of reparation? More specifically\, how do Asian Americans hold\, embrace\, and repress guilt such that reparation of both the other and the self become impossible?

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:Towards a Deeper Understanding of the Dissociative Disorders
DESCRIPTION:Cleveland Psychoanalytic Center \nThis event addresses: Dissociative Identity Disorder \nThis presentation\, given by Ira Brenner\, M.D.\, will focus upon the very controversial\, very misunderstood\, and very difficult to treat condition\, currently known as D.I.D.\, Dissociative Identity Disorder. By reconceptualizing it as a “lower level dissociative character” in which dissociation is the central underlying defense\, it may become possible to work psychodynamically with such patients. Within this paradigm\, 5 stages of treatment can be considered as guidelines.
