SUMMARY:6-Week Advanced Leadership Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Format: 6-Week Live Course Hosted over Zoom \nDates: Fridays – October 9\, 16\, 23\, 30; November 6\, 13\, 2026 \nTimes: Fridays – 7:30am – 10:30am PT/10:30am – 1:30pm ET/3:30 pm – 6:30pm GMT \nCredit Amount: 18 credits \nCost: $199 for all guests \nThis 6-week virtual seminar will focus on critical concepts in systems psychodynamics and field theory such as the social unconscious\, projective identification\, splitting\, social defenses\, complex identities\, and intersubjective processes. Widening our conceptual lens so that we can think of individual\, group\, organization\, and the environmental surround as co-creating the field and influencing and shaping each other\, we will use these concepts to deepen our understanding of the unconscious uses and abuses of power across the constructive and destructive spectrum. Each session will be evenly divided between theoretical and experiential components. In the large group\, faculty and members will discuss key points in the assigned readings; break into pre-assigned small self-study groups to reflect on our own group process as it relates to our primary task of learning together about the uses and abuses of power; and return to the large group to continue our self-reflection and organizational self-study. Ultimately\, the primary aim is to enhance our individual and collective efforts\, particularly in the face of hate and human destructiveness\, to become more inclusive as leaders\, more open in our thinking\, and equitable in sharing power. \nLearn more about the 6-week Advanced Leadership Seminar.

SUMMARY:Desire and the AI Revolution: Companion or Transgressor? The Ethics of Discovery\, Engagement\, and Activism
DESCRIPTION:The ubiquitous chatter of AI has flooded the imagination of the clinician with depictions of irrelevancy\, despair\, captivation\, and trepidation. This 3-hour ethics seminar led by psychoanalyst\, Scott Koeneman\, PsyD\, and psychoanalytic psychotherapist\, Paul Hoard\, PhD\, LMHC\, is an incitement within the promises and perils of AI and psychoanalysis. As the AI revolution gains momentum\, the clinician confronts its implications on a mind moderated by this technology\, witnesses the costs to the therapeutic frame\, and is obligated to engage their own ambivalences. Participants will consider how interactions with AI chatbots/LLM’s are reshaping our emotional\, relational\, and experiential lives. Topics such as smart phone cult like grooming\, rising anxieties about our collective future\, AI psychosis\, and the epidemic of loneliness will be considered. Participants will reflect on how the clinician can ethically engage with LLM conversations\, treatment impingements\, and elaborations on the treatment frame. Consideration will be given to the mutual engagement of such things as note writing and other AI augmentation to clinical practice. The presenters will promote an ethical imperative around the acquisition of procedural knowledge in the use of AI to effectively challenge and articulate the implicit dangers to human subjectivity. Psychoanalytically oriented clinicians are embedded in a community that has been wrestling with the questions of consciousness\, desire\, and personhood as applied to human suffering and thriving since our inception and as such have much to offer the current conversation around AI.

SUMMARY:Sleeping with the Enemy: AI\, Grief\, and the Shadow of the Analyst
DESCRIPTION:When Dr. Valerie Frankfeldt lost her analyst in 2024\, she turned to an unexpected companion: ChatGPT. What began as a cursory attempt at coping with grief became a profound reckoning with her own ambivalence about AI\, a journey she has since turned into an unflinching and deeply personal paper. \nDr. Frankfeldt used ChatGPT to help her explore a dream she had about that loss — and discovered surprising depths of insight and self-understanding. The AI even offered some solace during a time when beginning with a new analyst felt unpalatable. Yet the difference between intellectual insight provided by a machine and what is offered by a human-to-human relationship became unquestionably clear. \nFor a “proper” analyst who had always upheld the frame that provides a safe holding environment for treatment\, was using ChatGPT as an adjunct helper “sleeping with the enemy”?

SUMMARY:Film & Mind: Don’t Look Up
DESCRIPTION:“This administration has lost it’s f-ing mind and we are all going to die!” bellows a vein popping Leonardo DiCaprio. Don’t Look Up (2021) captures the dangerous emotional crosscurrents when human nature is confronted with existential terror. Astronomers — Dr. Randall Mindy (DiCaprio) and Kate Dibiasky (Jennifer Lawrence)\, his doctoral student — discover a comet on a direct collision course with Earth. They carry their findings to the White House and what follows is not a disaster film\, but a savage psychological and sociological portrait of America’s collective response to existential threat. The public becomes divided – those who can “look up” and those who cannot. \nIn their quest to educate and inform the government and the world\, astronomers Mindy and Dibiasky tango with sex\, power\, denial\, distraction\, and defensive grandiosity. We have the opportunity\, if we can muster our own courage\, to consider the psychodynamics inherent in facing looming catastrophe.  \nPlease note: Participants are requested to watch the film before arriving. The session will be structured around guided clinical discussion rather than summary\, with facilitators and invited discussants drawing out the film’s psychoanalytic architecture in dialogue with the group.  \nPlease note:\nParticipants are requested to watch the film before arriving.
