SUMMARY:Suicidality: Learning from the Personal Experience of Suicidal People
DESCRIPTION:Phoebe Cirio\, MSW\, LCSW: William Styron vividly recounts the experience of his suicidal depression while suffering a breakdown in mid-life\, in his small book Darkness Visible: A Memoir of Madness. Styron’s material will be a large part of the narrative basis for the class\, which will be augmented with psychoanalytic theoretical material on the precipitants of suicide. We will examine the subjective experience of suicidality\, and the particular stressors this causes for clinicians treating such persons. \n  \nCE.

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: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:Writing & Creativity: A Psychoanalytic Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Nikki Karalekas\, PhD\, MSW\, LCSW and Harold Braswell\, MSW\, PhD. \nHow do we write psychoanalytically? How does psychoanalysis inform and enhance our writing practice? What role does writing have in clinical work? What is the relationship between writing\, revision\, and free association? How might we develop a psychoanalytically-informed understanding of—and treatment for—“writer’s block?” This retreat will start with a two hour class exploring these questions. Then we will pre-circulate our own short writing and engage in a process of peer review\, attuned to the larger question of what it might mean to workshop writing psychoanalytically. \nNo previous writing experience required.

SUMMARY:Oppression Monopoly
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Richard D. Harvey\, PhD. \nThe Oppression Monopoly experience is quickly becoming widely known as a fun\, yet deeply impactful simulation of the dynamics of oppression. The overriding theme of the experience is that the lived experience of minorities is systemic and intersectional and requires systemic and intersectional solutions. The experience has many learning takeaways\, perhaps the most impactful is that virtually all participants leave with a deep appreciation for the need for deliberate and overt interventions and that “equity” rather than “equality” should be the focus of those interventions.

SUMMARY:Relational Identity & Erotic Orientation: Polyamory and Kink as Identity Constructs
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Gary Hirshberg\, LCSW. This two session workshop will challenge clinicians to look at our own deeply held beliefs about sex and coupling\, specifically what is ‘perversion’ and what is ‘healthy’ coupling. Most of us have come of age and been trained to still consider kink as deviant and as deriving from early childhood trauma or exposure to overt sex. Most of us think of multiple partners\, open relationships and group marriages as resulting from overly sexual men. This workshop will challenge all of that and more as we explore the reality that kink is just as valid an expression of healthy sexuality as missionary position between a male and a female and that polyamory is also a deeply embedded aspect of identity for many\, just as monogamy is for some. With more of our patients opening up to all aspects of their identity and sexuality we clinicians need to catch up.
