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: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: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:Alumni Group: The Mother-Daughter Dyad- Why It’s Important and Why It’s Often Overlooked
DESCRIPTION:Center for Psychoanalytic Studies (900 Lovett Blvd\, Houston\, TX 77006) \nThis event addresses: Renewed focus on women in today’s world \nPresenters: Sylvia Gonzalez\, MD\, PLLC and Adriana Martinez Crane\, LCSW – The current socio-political climate has forced a renewed focus on women in today’s world. We see women of all ages\, ethnicities\, socio-economic status and spiritual beliefs uniting not only to hold their ground but to continue the plight of their mothers and grandmothers for the sake of their daughters and granddaughters. The world now calls for a re-focusing on the mother-daughter dyad and all of its intricate\, delicate and complicated dynamics. It is in this dyad that little girls become women; and for some\, where they learn to become mothers.

SUMMARY:Compromised Analyses: On the Failure to Productively Use Difficult Countertransference Experience
DESCRIPTION:Houston Psychoanalytic Society \nThis event addresses: Compromised Analyses: On the Failure to Productively Use Difficult Countertransference Experience \nPresented by Irwin Hirsch\, PhD \nPsychoanalysts have long questioned the relative value of insight as a mutative factor in psychoanalytic treatment. Currently\, most analysts believe that insight has value\, but is not sufficient in and of itself to produce structural change in most patients. The increasingly prevalent view is that the analytic relationship has more explanatory power in understanding why patients change. This presentation will explore which elements of the patient-analyst relationship have the most mutative power. Through the use of clinical examples\, it will be shown that the analyst’s productive use of countertransference experience is key to successful analyses\, whereas the failure to use conscious uncomfortable countertransference is a primary factor in compromised analyses.

SUMMARY:Study Group – Conflict: Various Psychoanalytic Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:Houston Psychoanalytic Society \nThis event addresses: Study Group – Conflict: Various Psychoanalytic Perspectives \nFrom its beginning\, psychoanalysis has been defined as a psychology of conflict. As such\, conflict is considered ubiquitous and unavoidable\, central to the formation of human character and maladaptive symptoms. Freud’s tripartite structure of id\, ego\, and superego\, and the subsequent development of modern conflict theory\, made conflict the center of inner life. The understanding of psychic conflict became the goal of therapeutic action. As the scope of psychoanalysis broadened and various schools of thought evolved\, our views of mental conflict also changed. This study group will examine the major schools of psychoanalytic thought with regard to their perspectives of inner conflict—its origins\, nature\, role in character development and psychopathology\, and clinical implications. \nThis study group is intended for clinicians with an intermediate to advanced level of knowledge about psychoanalytic theory. We will utilize readings\, discussion\, and case examples in exploring inner conflict from the concepts of classical psychoanalysis\, ego psychology\, Kleinian theory\, object relations\, self psychology\, intersubjectivity\, and relational psychoanalysis. These viewpoints are summarized in readings by renowned scholars and clinicians from the various schools of thought. Group participants must obtain the textbook that we will use\, Psychoanalytic Perspectives on Conflict\, edited by Christopher Christian\, Morris Eagle\, and David Wolitzky (Routledge\, 2017).

SUMMARY:Ethics Conference – Conflicts and Ethics in Psychoanalytic Consultation and Supervision
DESCRIPTION:Houston Psychoanalytic Society \nThis event addresses: Ethics \nPresented by Nancy McWilliams\, PhD \nBeginning therapists tend to go to supervisors with ethical questions at a very high frequency\, and most experienced therapists know they need to seek consultation when facing ethical dilemmas. Because the literature on psychoanalytic supervision\, especially in the domain of ethics\, is quite limited\, there is a need for meetings at which practitioners consider the unique and highly complex ethical problems that psychodynamic therapists may encounter. Rather than construing ethics as a set of rules of procedure\, this conference anchors ethical questions within the general principles of the psychological and medical professions\, placing clinical and supervisory choices within the broader humanistic goals that underlie the exploratory psychotherapies.

SUMMARY:Trans in Transition: An online Scientific Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The Metropolitan Institute for Training in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy The Metropolitan Center for Mental Health and The Metropolitan Society of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapists \nThis event addresses: Gender Identity \nPRESENTER: SUSAN McNAMARA\, MD \nAt a time when various states are criminalizing transgender care\, it is important for clinicians to be well-educated about gender identity and gender expression\, as well as how gender and sexuality may be interwoven. Misinformation and disinformation are widely prevalent in media sources. This talk discusses basic concepts about the development of one’s gender identity\, mental health concerns\, evidence-based treatments for transgender people\, and current psychoanalytic concepts about gender identity. \nLearning objectives: \nParticipants will: 1) define terms and constructs associated with gender identity and gender roles\, 2) understand current evidence-based Standards of Care for the Health of Transsexual\, Transgender\, and Gender Nonconforming People and 3) understand how mental health concerns may or may not be related to a person’s gender identity. \nDr. McNamara recently retired as Medical Director at Connecticut Valley Hospital\, a long-term public psychiatric hospital\, where she treated patients with serious mental illness\, including severe trauma and profound schizophrenia. Dr. McNamara was prior Co-Chair of the Committee on Gender and Sexuality of the American Psychoanalytic Association and a past winner\, with Dr. Barbara Marcus\, of the Roughton Paper Award for “Strange and Otherwise Unaccountable Actions”: Category\, Conundrum\, and Trans Identities. She is board certified in psychiatry and a Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association.

SUMMARY:Meditative Psychoanalysis: The Marriage of Mindfulness\, Meaning\, and Intimacy
DESCRIPTION:The American Institute for Psychoanalysis \nThis event addresses: On the aspects of Western psychoanalysis and Eastern meditative traditions \nInterest in blending Eastern meditative and Western psychotherapeutic traditions is burgeoning\, yet we have only begun to realize what these rich traditions can teach each other. In this presentation—a combination of lecture\, meditation practice\, and dialogue with the audience—Dr. Jeffrey B. Rubin will explore what he terms meditative psychoanalysis\, a practice that blends the best aspects of Western psychoanalysis and Eastern meditative traditions (heightened concentration and mindfulness\, decoding unconscious meaning\, and liberated intimacy) into a more encompassing synthesis.

SUMMARY:THE PASTOR AND THE ANALYST: An Interactive Discussion of Conscious and Unconscious Guilt\, Religion\, and Psychoanalysis
DESCRIPTION:Psychoanalytic Center of Philadelphia \nThis event addresses: Conscious and Unconscious Guilt\, Religion\, Psychoanalysis \nCo-Facilitators Sonja Ware\, TH.M.\,M.DIV. & David Sachs\, MD. present THE PASTOR AND THE ANALYST: An Interactive Discussion of Conscious and Unconscious Guilt\, Religion\, and Psychoanalysis. \nGuilt is part of the emotional spectrum of human life. As a function of the superego\, it can be a healthy compass helping us to make choices. Yet\, guilt also has the capacity to burden us in painful and inhibiting ways. Guilt is a societal reality as well. Courts\, judges\, and juries are put in place to hear cases and then declare a person either guilty or not guilty. In Religion\, guilt is addressed through the concept of sin defined as acting against God’s will. Discussing guilt automatically opens the door to concepts like penance\, punishment\, forgiveness\, and reconciliation. Guilt is a hot topic in Psychoanalysis as well as Religion and is large and deep enough to be explored for hours\, days\, and months. Many theories and concepts have been developed about both conscious and unconscious guilt. \nWith this in mind\, David Sachs and Sonja Ware invite you to explore the aspect of conscious and unconscious guilt in a very practical manner in this year’s discussion between the Pastor and the Analyst. Sonja and David will introduce the conversation by sharing some initial reflections and then present practical examples of situations in which they discovered conscious and unconscious guilt. The clinical examples are made up of a blend of different people to foster discussion and to maintain privacy. The conversation will then be opened to give most of our time together for mutual discussion\, thriving through the insights of the participants and their experiences. This program intentionally is an interdisciplinary invitation to all who are curious about exploring guilt\, psychoanalysis\, and/or religion.

SUMMARY:Gender Fluidities and Valences in Childhood
DESCRIPTION:Western New England Psychoanalytic Society \nThis event addresses: Gender variances \nSpeaker: Eve Watson\, PhD \nDiscussant: Oren Gozlan\, PsyD \nSexuality for children and adolescents is a site of intense curiosity\, brooding\, and fluidity and it is not unusual for an intensive questioning of subjectivity to be supported by a gender-based identity query. Transitioning out of childhood and adolescence can be a significant challenge\, added to by gender questioning. This talk explores the “queerness” of childhood in light of it as a periodicity of frustrations\, perplexities\, helplessness\, abjections\, and “defeats of appetite” and considers how this does not fit well with contemporary culture which promotes ideals and objects of happiness\, pleasure\, and choice. The talk will also explore the ethics specific to psychoanalysis which sometimes run counter to social ideals and the social “good.”

SUMMARY:Ethics Conference: Conflicts and Ethics in Psychoanalytic Consultation and Supervision
DESCRIPTION:Houston Psychoanalytic Society \nThis event addresses: Conflicts and Ethics in Psychoanalytic Consultation and Supervision \nNancy McWilliams\, PhD will present this Ethics Conference. 3 CE/CMEs \nBeginning therapists tend to go to supervisors with ethical questions at a very high frequency\, and most experienced therapists know they need to seek consultation when facing ethical dilemmas. Because the literature on psychoanalytic supervision\, especially in the domain of ethics\, is quite limited\, there is a need for meetings at which practitioners consider the unique and highly complex ethical problems that psychodynamic therapists may encounter. Rather than construing ethics as a set of rules of procedure\, this conference anchors ethical questions within the general principles of the psychological and medical professions\, placing clinical and supervisory choices within the broader humanistic goals that underlie the exploratory psychotherapies.

SUMMARY:Almost Half a Century Since it Was Expelled From the DSM\, Why is Psychoanalytic Thought Still in the Wilderness?
DESCRIPTION:Houston Psychoanalytic Society \nThis event addresses: Almost Half a Century Since it Was Expelled From the DSM\, Why is Psychoanalytic Thought Still in the Wilderness? \nProfessor Hannah Decker’s presentation will illustrate the strength of the anti-psychiatry movement\, a part of the Vietnam era’s many protests. The anti-psychiatry’s influence became so deep that the APA continues today to be motivated to keep that movement at bay. The second part of her talk will deal with the anti-psychoanalytic animus of the DSM-III Task Force\, who were dedicated to bringing about the fall of psychoanalysis. The Task Force was dominated by members or offshoots of the biological psychiatry department of the Washington University in St. Louis whose prejudice against psychoanalysis influenced the editor of DSM-III\, Robert Spitzer.
