SUMMARY:Acting Out: a New Online Mini-Series with Ira Moses
DESCRIPTION:ACTING OUT AND THE THERAPIST’S SUPEREGO CONFLICTS\nwith \nIRA MOSES\, PhD\, ABPsa\nA new online mini-series for experienced and new clinicians\n4 Wednesday evenings in April \nfrom 8:00-9:15pm/Eastern\n5 CEs are available\n  \nABOUT THIS SERIES\nOften out of fear of shaming the patient\, being perceived as “judgmental\,” or worrying that the patient may drop out of treatment\, therapists may stumble — or avoid entirely — the opportunity to engage patients in analyzing their provocative or self-defeating behaviors. Therapists may\, perhaps unwittingly\, selectively ignore these behaviors\, thereby risking their inevitable escalation.\nSuch behaviors can range from extreme acts such as unprotected sex\, substance abuse\, or compulsive internet use\, to subtler forms of acting out\, such as habitual lateness to appointments or difficulties with paying bills and spending. Through participants’ case material\, Dr. Moses will take us though an exploration of how inquiry and free association can help mobilize reluctant therapists to assist patients in translating action into words.\n  \nABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR\nIra Moses\, PhD\, ABPsa\, is a Training and Supervising Analyst\, former Director of Training\, and former Director of Clinical Services at the William Alanson White Institute\, where he currently teaches a seminar that functions as the alternative pathway to becoming a Supervising Analyst\, as well as teaching in the Institute’s Ukrainian online Intensive Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Program (the UKR-IPPP). He is on the faculty of the Western New England Psychoanalytic Institute and is Visiting Faculty of the San Diego Psychoanalytic Center;  and also is Geographic Rule Supervising Analyst of the Oregon Psychoanalytic Institute.  Dr. Moses was a former Board Member and faculty of the China American Psychoanalytic Alliance. He has published many articles\, including the Misuse of Empathy; Anonymity and Self Disclosure\, The Analyst’s Resistance to Asking Questions\, and recently\, Wrestling with Reductionism is Racial and Cultural Discourse.\n  \nCLASS SCHEDULE\nHeld online on Wednesday evenings from 8:00pm-9:15pm/Eastern\non April 8\, 15\, 22 & 29\n\nCOURSE COSTS\nProfessionals $325\nCandidates and students $225\n  \n

SUMMARY:Master Clinicians of the Interpersonal-Relational Perspective
DESCRIPTION:The 2025 SUMMER EDUCATIONAL INTENSIVE\nMASTER CLINICIANS OF THE INTERPERSONAL-RELATIONAL PERSPECTIVE\nMiri Abramis\, PhD\,  Sandra Buechler\, PhD\,  Jack Drescher\, MD\,  Anton Hart\, PhD\,  Jean Petrucelli\, PhD\, CEDS-S\nMonday-Friday\, June 23rd-27th\, 2025\n  \nWe are pleased to announce the 2025 Summer Educational Intensive\, offered in person\, on location at the Institute during June. This year offers a stellar line-up of five of the Institute’s most prominent Master Clinicians.\n  \nABOUT THE PROGRAM\nThis year the Institute is proud to present a program with five of its true Master Clinicians. Each offers expertise in a specific area. Their perspectives on the practice of Interpersonal-Relational psychoanalysis will illustrate technique and theory as applied to clinical material. Participants will attend three intensive hours each morning comprised of clinical case presentation\, live supervision\, group discussion\, and class Q&A.\nAll classes are held in person at the Institute. A welcome breakfast and introduction to the Institute will be part of the first morning’s schedule; coffee and light refreshments are available daily.\nThe format of the program offers class participants a unique vantage for observing and participating in clinical examination with direction and input from experts in the field. Afternoons and evenings are free for socializing and exploring New York City\, or for locals to return to their work settings.\n15 CEs are available for this program.\nThe William Alanson White Institute is located at 20 West 74th Street between Central Park West and Columbus Avenue\, in the heart of Manhattan’s Upper West Side. The neighborhood includes Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts\, several museums\, as well as numerous restaurants and shops. It is also a great jumping-off point for visiting all other parts of the City.\n  \nTHE SCHEDULE & PROGRAM\nMONDAY\, JUNE 23rd\, 9:00am-12:30pm*\nSANDRA BUECHLER\, PhD\nThe Clinical Legacies of Sullivan and Fromm\nWhile both H.S. Sullivan and Erich Fromm emphasize the interpersonal nature of all human experience\, their clinical legacies differ some. Sullivan and Fromm are my Apollonian and Dionysian gods. That is\, Sullivan’s work guides me to approach treatment as occurring in phases\, while Fromm’s thinking infuses me with passion. One without the other would be incomplete. In this course I describe their influence\, with clinical illustrations.\nCase Presenter: Gal Katz\, PhD\n*Monday’s schedule includes a Welcome Breakfast and an introduction to the Institute\, starting at 9:00AM. \n\nTUESDAY\, JUNE 24th\, 9:30am-12:30pm   \nJACK DRESCHER\, MD\nFrom Bisexuality to Intersexuality: Rethinking Gender Categories\nThe study of human sexual and gender identities is changing\, obliging analysts to think about gender and sexualities in ways never envisioned by their psychoanalytic forebears. These changes also require an awareness of the limitations imposed upon by their own theoretical traditions. Toward that end\, Dr. Drescher begins with a review of historical assumptions underlying the theory of bisexuality. Then\, introducing the role of categories and hierarchies in general\, he examines the particular clinical meaning of sexual hierarchies\, and a discussion of the meanings and uses of the term\, “natural.”  He concludes with a commentary on intersexuality as an example of both the social and surgical construction of gender.\nCase Presenter: Stephane Goldsand\, LP\, MBA\n\nWEDNESDAY\, JUNE 25th\, 9:30am-12:30pm   \nANTON HART\, PhD\, FABP\, FIPA\nThe Analyst’s Aspiration to be Radically Open to Patient Experience\, especially in Foreign Situations\nPracticing the dispositional stance of “radical openness” requires the analyst take to heart the analysand’s experience and formulations about the analyst. Dr. Hart will discuss this and the desired effect: creating a space for analytic self-discovery that may extend beyond the analyst’s tolerable awareness.\nCase Presenter: Sari Kessler\, PhD\n\n\nTHURSDAY\, JUNE 26th\, 9:30am-12:30pm\nMIRI ABRAMIS\, PhD\nListening with an Interpersonal Lens\nDespite our shared book learning on theory and technique\, each of us brings a unique subjectivity and instrument to analytic dialogue. Like our patients\, how we listen\, process\, and communicate word and deed are essential components of the ongoing conversation. In this workshop Dr. Abramis shares her Interpersonal perspective\, incorporating many of the varied influences that shape her thinking\, including the use of infant and child research in adult treatment\, the work of Edgar Levenson\, and an interest in comparative psychoanalysis. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss analytic listening following a detailed case presentation.\nCase Presenter: Sarah Best\, LCSW-R\n\nFRIDAY\, JUNE 27th\, 9:30am-12:30pm\nJEAN PETRUCELLI\, PhD\, CEDS-S\nThe Too-muchness and Not Enough-ness of Desire: What’s Food Got to Do with This?\nFor patients struggling with an eating disorder\, there is an unrelenting internal dialogue related to desire — the having or not wanting to want – and the consuming behavioral rituals that briefly quiet these tortuous thoughts and cause much suffering. Patients must triumph over these thoughts\, emotions\, compulsions\, and often\, the experience of denial\, in order to begin the road to recovery. From the Interpersonal perspective\, treating an ED involves the interplay between attending directly to the disorder and disengaging from the pull to do so.\nCase Presenter: Bevin Campbell\, PsyD\n  \n  \n\n\nPROGRAM PRICING\nTake advantage of our deeply discounted pricing\, available now:\nPROFESSIONALS $500\nCANDIDATES & STUDENTS $300\n  \nNote: Requests for refunds must be made before Monday\, June 9th\, which is two weeks prior to the course’s start date. From June 9th and on\, medical documentation will be required. \n  \n\n\nABOUT OUR MASTER CLINICIANS\nMiri Abramis\, PhD\, is Faculty\, Training and Supervising Analyst\, Emeritus Fellow at the William Alanson White Institute in New York City.

SUMMARY:EMPOWERING CLINICIANS: PRACTICAL TOOLS TO SUPPORT MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT
DESCRIPTION:The PsiAN Series: Advocating for Our Patients\, Our Practice and Ourselves\nJOE FELDMAN\, MBA\nKATE GALLAGHER\, PhD\nBRIAN HUFFORD\, ESQ\nEMPOWERING CLINICIANS: PRACTICAL TOOLS TO SUPPORT MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT\nwith Moderator Bevin Campbell\, PsyD\nFriday\, February 28th from 11am-12:30PM/Eastern\nAN ONLINE WEBINAR\n1.5 CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDITS ARE AVAILABLE. Instructions about how to obtain available CEs are sent out to registrants in the entry link email\, prior to the event. If you miss that letter (for late sign-ups)\, you should request CE instructions after the event.\nFor general CE Credit information\, click here\nNOTE TO ALL REGISTRANTS FOR ONLINE EVENTS: We send out entry links for Zoom events 1-3 days prior to the scheduled event date. If you do not see a link-letter in your Inbox\, you should check your Trash and Spam folders. Still no link-letter by the business day prior to the event?  Email: e.rodman@wawhite.org \nWe will do whatever we can to get your link to you\, however the Institute is not responsible for your email provider’s security settings. There are no refunds for paid events if a link was sent to you.\nNOTE: Confidentiality requirements prevent the recording of this presentation.\n\nCost: $30 per person\n\nABOUT THIS EVENT\nIn an ideal world\, everyone would have access to affordable\, quality health insurance. Clinicians would provide the care that’s needed\, and insurers would reliably process and pay claims. If problems arose\, laws\, regulations\, and litigation would ensure compliance and fairness and help protect patients and their treatment. After all\, health insurance benefits are designed to help people access the care they need to maintain their health and well-being without facing overwhelming obstacles and financial burdens.\nRegrettably\, this ideal system remains elusive. Disparities in insurance coverage\, especially for mental health\, routinely force people to choose between forgoing essential care or incurring massive out-of-pocket expenses. When it comes to therapies of depth\, insight and relationship\, obtaining appropriate insurance coverage may be especially difficult. For those already facing mental health and addiction issues\, navigating insurance denials and fighting for appropriate coverage can be a daunting prospect. When the system falls short\, advocacy by patients and clinicians may be required. Yet\, many clinicians feel equally disempowered and lost.\nThe purpose of this panel is to empower clinicians with the knowledge and resources needed to support patients in obtaining appropriate reimbursement for treatment. Drawing on their diverse professional backgrounds\, panelists will identify common barriers to care\, demystify the systemic factors underlying these barriers\, and provide practical resources – tools\, templates\, step-by-step instructions – to address them.\n\n\nABOUT THE PsiAN SERIES\nIn these last few years\, we have witnessed unprecedented upheaval in the areas of politics\, social justice\, the natural world\, and public health. Alongside these national and global challenges\, we are amid a mental health crisis with decreasing access to psychotherapy. It is vitally important in order for our practices and communities to thrive to be informed about how depth therapies can help\, what people are looking for in mental health treatment\, and how we can support and protect the work we do\, while making it more accessible to more people.\nPrevailing myths and misconceptions regarding mental health and psychotherapy that either clinicians or the public hold need to be challenged\, as they limit our capacity to help more people in more circumstances and often steer the public\, including marginalized communities\, towards a reduced set of options.\nMany of these areas are not addressed in undergraduate and graduate education\, and therapists often start practicing without a greater understanding and appreciation of these issues and the very real ways in which they can impact and impede our work.\nThis webinar series will help students and therapists at all career stages develop a greater understanding of the mental health landscape\, and how they can protect and advance the work they do.\nRead about the Psychotherapy Action Network (PsiAN) \n  \n\nABOUT THE PANELISTS\nKathryn (Kate) Gallagher\, PhD\, is a staff psychologist\, psychoanalyst\, and faculty member at the Austen Riggs Center. She is also in private practice in Stockbridge\, MA. In addition to her clinical practice\, Dr. Gallagher is committed to addressing human rights and health equity issues. This often takes the form of supporting patient and clinician efforts to obtain insurance coverage for medically necessary behavioral health care.\n  \n\n  \nJoe Feldman\, MBA\, is President and Founder of Cover My Mental Health. He began advocating for access to mental health care after overcoming denials for his daughter’s residential care\, including with a successful federal lawsuit. His advocacy work has included policy-driven discussions with legislators and regulators\, a board role with The Kennedy Forum Illinois\, presentations to parent groups\, and publication of actionable guidance such as a 2021 article in the Journal of Psychiatric Practice on medical necessity letters (including a letter template).\n  \n  \n\nBrian Hufford\, Esq\, a graduate of the Yale Law School\, is a Partner at Zuckerman Spaeder LLP in New York City. Over the past two decades\, he has been an industry leader in challenging improper denials and underpayments by health insurance companies and claims administrators on behalf of providers\, provider associations\, and patients. His efforts include a national legal effort that is systematically challenging mental health discrimination by insurers. In his innovative and nationally recognized practice\, Mr. Hufford’s work has provided relief to tensof thousands of individuals who have been impacted by widespread mental health discrimination or other forms of improper coverage denials\, forced policy changes by insurers\, and significantly influenced health care law. These efforts have led to two of the largest recoveries ever obtained in ERISA-based health insurance class actions\, and to a collection of other precedent-setting decisions that have transformed the rights of patients and providers. Mr. Hufford led the team behind the landmark case Wit v. United Behavioral Health\, which has been recognized as one of the most important litigations addressing the legal rights of patients seeking appropriate coverage for their behavioral health services.\nMr. Hufford has received numerous honors and designations relating to his work\, including being honored with the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) 2021 Rona and Ken Purdy Award for Distinguished Service for his sustained contributions to improving the lives of people who suffer from mental illness and their families. He has been awareded Law360’s “MVP” Award five times\, twice been named a Plaintiff’s Attorney “Trailblazer” by The National Law Journal\, and has been consistently recognized in industry rankings such as Benchmark Litigation and Super Lawyers. He is also a Board member of PsiAN\, in addition to many other leadership positions. Married to his wife\, Wendy\, another attorney\, Mr. Hufford is the proud father of eight children.\n  \nABOUT THE MODERATOR\nBevin Campbell\, PsyD\, is a New York and New Jersey licensed psychologist treating couples and individuals in her Brooklyn-based psychotherapy practice. Dr. Campbell has a postgraduate certificate in Couple Therapy from Adelphi University and is an advanced candidate at the William Alanson White Institute. She is a teaching and supervising faculty member of the Health Psychology and School/Clinical Psychology programs at Pace university.

Misunderstandings among the public and policymakers about efficacy and “gold standard” treatments are common\, and new technology apps and companies are redefining what therapy is at scale. From the insurance industry\, to venture capital and private equity\, to the educational system training therapists and the fragmentation of our field\, there are many ways in which the work we do is threatened.\nThis presentation will outline factors that help therapists know what they can do to protect and advance their work. It will set the stage for the subsequent\, upcoming webinars in coming months.\n  \nABOUT THE PsiAN SERIES\nIn these last few years\, we have witnessed unprecedented upheaval in the areas of politics\, social justice\, the natural world\, and public health. Alongside these national and global challenges\, we are amid a mental health crisis with decreasing access to psychotherapy. It is vitally important in order for our practices and communities to thrive to be informed about how depth therapies can help\, what people are looking for in mental health treatment\, and how we can support and protect the work we do\, while making it more accessible to more people.\nPrevailing myths and misconceptions regarding mental health and psychotherapy that either clinicians or the public hold need to be challenged\, as they limit our capacity to help more people in more circumstances and often steer the public\, including marginalized communities\, towards a reduced set of options.\nMany of these areas are not addressed in undergraduate and graduate education\, and therapists often start practicing without a greater understanding and appreciation of these issues and the very real ways in which they can impact and impede our work.\nThis webinar series will help students and therapists at all career stages develop a greater understanding of the mental health landscape\, and how they can protect and advance the work they do.\nRead about the Psychotherapy Action Network (PsiAN) \n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\n \nLinda Michaels\, PsyD\, MBA\, is a psychologist with a private practice in Chicago. She is Chair and Co-Founder of the Psychotherapy Action Network (PsiAN)\, a grassroots nonprofit that advocates for therapies of depth\, insight and relationship. She is a Consulting Editor of Psychoanalytic Inquiry\, Clinical Associate Faculty at the Chicago Center for Psychoanalysis\, and a fellow of the Lauder Institute Global MBA program. She is author and co-editor of Advancing Psychotherapy for the Next Generation\, and has published\, presented\, and been interviewed by The New York Times\, The Wall Street Journal\, NPR and other national media on the value of psychotherapy\, the therapeutic relationship and technology\, and the public narrative about therapy. Linda has a former career in business\, with over 15 years’ experience consulting to organizations in the US and Latin America.\n  \nABOUT THE MODERATOR\nBevin Campbell\, PsyD\, is a New York and New Jersey licensed psychologist treating couples and individuals in her Brooklyn-based psychotherapy practice.

SUMMARY:The 2024 Summer Educational Intensive
DESCRIPTION:The 2024 Summer Educational Intensive: Master Clinicians of the Interpersonal Perspective\nMonday-Friday\, June 17th-21st\, 2024\n9:30AM-12:30PM daily\nWe are pleased to announce the return of the Institute’s unique annual program: The Summer Educational Intensive is being offered in person\, at the Institute\, in June\, 2024.\n  \nABOUT THE PROGRAM \nFive master clinicians offer their perspective on Interpersonal-Relational psychoanalysis from their area of expertise; they will illustrate technique and theory as applied to clinical material. This weeklong program offers three intensive hours each morning of clinical presentation\, live supervision and group discussion followed by a Q and A with the audience.\nAll classes are in person at the Institute.  A welcome breakfast and  introduction to the Institute will be part of the first morning’s schedule; coffee and light refreshments are available daily. Afternoons and evenings are free for students to explore New York City or for locals to return to their work settings.\n15 CEs are available for this program. For information about CE Credits click here.\nThe William Alanson White Institute is located at 20 West 74th Street between Central Park West and Columbus Avenue\, in the heart of Manhattan’s Upper West Side. The neighborhood includes Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts\, several museums\, as well as numerous restaurants and shops. It is also a great jumping-off point for visiting all other parts of the City.\n\n  \nTHE SCHEDULE\nMonday\, June 17th     Pascal Sauvayre\, PhD\nOn Not Knowing and Needing to Know\nCase Presenter: David Jiang\, MD\nDr. Sauvayre will explore the confrontation of the fundamental human drive to know with the unknowable object of psychoanalysis – the unconscious.  Dr. Sauvayre will explore this from the particular perspective of Interpersonal psychoanalysis and the interpersonal field.\n  \nTuesday\, June 18th       Jack Drescher\, MD\nA Bisexual Man’s Search for Identity: An Interpersonal Psychoanalytic Perspective\nCase Presenter: Sarah Best\, LCSW-R\nDr. Drescher offers detailed case material of a man in his 30s who was still questioning his sexual identity after a prior lengthy analysis.  In a uniquely Interpersonal style\, he explores and then shares with the patient his own associations to the analytic material.  Dr. Drescher uses the case to illustrate how the therapeutic task of defining a sexual identity is often a complex\, interpretative and interpersonal process.\n\nWednesday\, June 19th      Ira Moses\, PhD\nThe Role of Inquiry: A Workshop on “Detailed Listening”\nCase Presenter: Bevin Campbell\, PsyD\nDr. Moses examines the role of Inquiry in supplementing the therapeutic tools of empathy and interpretation as a way to assist patients in becoming active participants in instead of passive recipients of their psychodynamic treatment. This is also a workshop on “detailed listening” to find openings in the patient’s narrative that help them engage in introspection\, a particular challenge with once weekly patients. The use of Inquiry also maintains the  therapist’s curiosity about the patient.  As Sullivan cautioned\,  “(We) should never forget that conclusions about the subjective experience of the patient can only result in an inference\, never a fact”.\n\nThursday\, June 20th       Michelle Stephens\, LP\, PhD\nRace in Interpersonal Space\nCase Presenter: Stav Livne\nDr. Stephens explores and applies insights from key Interpersonal thinkers such as Harry Stack Sullivan and Philip Bromberg\, alongside the decolonial insights of Frantz Fanon\, to expand participants’ thinking about race in the clinical space.\n\nFriday\, June 21st        Jenny Kaufmann\, PhD\nUnderstanding the Developmental Force of Narcissism: Formative Trauma and Transference\nCase Presenter: Morteza Modares Gharavi\, PhD\nThe strength of the Interpersonal position is in helping narcissistic patients face the defensive and maladaptive aspects of their narcissism. Dr. Kaufmann supplements this Interpersonal emphasis with a background in Self Psychology/Self and Object Freudians that  underscores narcissism as reflecting a developmental force impacted  by formative trauma. She explores Steve Mitchell’s dialectic between narcissism as defense and narcissism as a developmental force. She also uses the work of Sheldon Bach to explore narcissistic transferences and mourn the effects of early relational trauma.\n\nSummer Educational Intensive: \nLearning Objective \n  \n Monday June 17: Pascal Sauvayre\, PhD \nTo  explore the confrontation of the fundamental human drive to know with the unknowable object of psychoanalysis – the unconscious.   \n  \nTuesday June 18th: Jack Drescher\, MD \nTo use case material to illustrate how the therapeutic task of defining a sexual identity is often a complex\, interpretative and interpersonal process. \n  \nWednesday June 19th : Ira Moses\, PhD \n  \nTo examine the role of Inquiry in supplementing the therapeutic tools of empathy and interpretation as a way to assist patients in becoming active participants in instead of passive recipients of their psychodynamic treatment.  \n  \nThursday June 20th Michelle Stephens\, LP\, PhD \n  \nTo explore and apply insights from key Interpersonal thinkers such as Harry Stack Sullivan and Philip Bromberg\, alongside the decolonial insights of Frantz Fanon\, to expand participants’ thinking about race in the clinical space \n  \nFriday June 21st: Jenny Kaufmann\, PhD \n  \nTo  explain Steve Mitchell’s dialectic between narcissism as defense and narcissism as a developmental force and use the work of Sheldon Bach to explore narcissistic transferences and mourn the effects of early relational trauma. \n\nCOSTS\nProfessionals – Regular pricing $700 starting May 21st.\nCandidates & students – Regular pricing $375 starting May 21st.\nNote: Refunds are given for requests made by Monday\, June 3rd\, two weeks prior to the course’s start date.

SUMMARY:Revolutionary Libido:  Andreas Embiricos\, Surrealist Poet and Psychoanalyst
DESCRIPTION:PRESENTED BY THE ARTIST STUDY GROUP OF THE PSYCHOTHERAPY SERVICE FOR PEOPLE IN THE ARTS\nTHURSDAY\, June 6th FROM 1:30-3:00PM/Eastern\nRevolutionary Libido:  Andreas Embiricos\, Surrealist Poet and Psychoanalyst\nwith Alexander Baron-Raiffe\, PhD\, LP\nAttend in person or online as follows:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn person at the Institute\, 20 West 74th Street\, between CPW & Columbus Avenues\nOnline via Zoom at: https://wawhite.zoom.us/j/8180152948?pwd=cDkrUTlMSndQendyZzhnc054c0tpQT09\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease RSVP to attend: fvdillon@gmail.com\n  \nABOUT THIS PRESENTATION AND ITS SPEAKER\n“I once more take the opportunity to express here my admiration and gratitude for André Breton and the other surrealists who\, after Sigmund Freud and the psychoanalysts\, have shed\, in our age\, the most illuminating light on the thick darkness that surrounds us. And so a new world opened up before me\, like a sudden bursting into bloom of inexhaustible miracles\, a world around me and in me that was unending and immeasurable\, a truly magic world to which surrealism has given us once and for all the right keys.” (A. Embiricos\, “Letter to Vivika” in Amour Amour\, København & Los Angeles: Green Integer\, 2003\, p. 20 )\nOur presenter\, Dr. Alexander Baron-Raiffe\, will describe the major challenges and satisfactions of translating the work of Andreas Embiricos (1901-1975)\, a unique figure in the history of both Psychoanalysis and Surrealism in Greece. Embiricos’ work as a psychoanalyst was inseparable from his artistic practice.  Embiricos was personally close to André Breton\, the founder of the Surrealist group\, whose belief he shared: that Surrealism had the potential to effect revolutionary change on both the individual and the societal levels by bringing unconscious material to the surface through contact with the surrealist work of art. Embiricos brought the Surrealist faith to his clinical work through his vision of psychoanalysis as a revolutionary practice. He believed that Freudian psychoanalysts could serve the role of “revolutionary trainer” by liberating repressed libido on the level of the individual patient; at scale\, this could affect transformational change at the societal level.\nJoin us for Dr. Baron-Raiffe’s reading of Embiricos’ poetry and his writings on psychoanalysis\, and a discussion of their clinical resonance in our current socio-political climate.\n  \nAlexander Baron-Raiffe\, PhD\, LP\, is a psychoanalyst in private practice in New York City.  He is an advanced candidate at the Contemporary Freudian Society.  He holds a doctorate in French Literature from Princeton University where he was also a fellow of the Seeger Center for Hellenic Studies.  He has held teaching positions at Princeton University\, Fordham University\, Sarah Lawrence College\, and The New School.\nFrances V.

SUMMARY:THE EMBODIED PSYCHOANALYST: FOCUSING WITHIN\, COLLOQUIUM SERIES 2022-2023
DESCRIPTION:The Memory of the Body: A Theoretical Justification of Corporal Interventions in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy\nSUSANA FERNANDEZ De La VEGA GONZALEZ\, PsyD\nDiscussant ERNESTO MUJICA\, PhD\nFriday\, April 14th from 12Noon-2:00PM/Eastern\nPart of the live streamed webinar series. All events are held in Eastern Standard or Daylight time.\n  \nABOUT THIS PROGRAM\nThere are many psychotherapeutic proposals that offer corporal interventions to deal with psychic suffering\, some of them lacking a solid theoretical foundation. On the other hand\, different authors accept the presence of archaic experiences that maintain their influence throughout life and are inaccessible to the word. When verbal intervention is insufficient\, it is necessary to reflect on the limits of therapeutic action: attention to somatic dialogue\, questioning of the touch taboo or the integration of body techniques that evoke sensory and primordial emotional experiences. The meaning of the body within the psychoanalysis field\, according to a range of authors such as Freud\, Reich\, Bion\, Winnicott\, Anzieu or relational psychoanalysis theorists\, will be reviewed in search of a conceptual foundation for body techniques.\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\nSusana Fernández de la Vega Gonzalez\, PsyD\, is a Clinical Psychologist who currently works in a Public Mental Health Day Hospital in Salamanca (Spain)\, performing group therapy\, individual psychotherapy and body techniques with patients with severe mental disorders. She has previously worked in Madrid\, Toledo\, Valladolid\, and Rome as a clinical psychologist\, with adult and child patients\, and in different resources of the public mental health network. She also worked in the care of those affected by the March 11 attacks in Madrid. She carries out teaching tasks at the Complejo Asistencial Universitario de Salamanca.\nOn the other hand\, she has worked with companies of experience theater or sensory theater such as Teatro de los Sentidos (Theater of the Senses) of Barcelona and Teatro en el Aire (Theater in the Air) of Madrid. She is currently developing her own theatrical project with La Estancia Doble\, and is a teacher in the Posgraduate of Lenguaje Sensorial y Poética del Juego of the Universidad de Girona.\nHer interests revolve around the relationship between psychotherapy and play\, the memory of the body and psychotherapy\, the application of bodily techniques in a therapeutic context and the bodily correlates of trauma.\nABOUT THE MODERATOR\nErnesto Mujica\, PhD\, is a supervisor of psychotherapy at the William Alanson White Institute\, where he is an associate editor of the Institute’s journal\, Contemporary Psychoanalysis. He is also a supervisor of psychotherapy at the Doctoral Programs in Clinical Psychology of Teachers College/Columbia University and at the City University of New York. In 2010\, Dr. Mujica was President of the Division of Psychoanalysis for the New York State Psychological Association and he has served on the Board of the Division of Psychoanalysis of the American Psychological Association.\nTo view the entire schedule for this year’s series\, click here

SUMMARY:Secondary Dominance:  A Kaleidoscopic Visual Journey
DESCRIPTION:A film by Sarah Small and Wade McCullum\nThis presentation and discussion is a collaboration of The Artist Study Group for People in the Arts at WAWI and the Sexual Abuse Study Group & Service. \nCurrently in pre-release\, the new feature-length film concerns sexual trauma. The two study groups have planned the presentation and two discussions which will take place virtually on Zoom\, over two dates: \nThursday\, April 6\, 2023 from 1:30-3:00pm/Eastern and Thursday\, April 20th.\nYou must RSVP to receive the Private Preview screening film link. Email fvdillon@gmail.com\n  \nABOUT THE EVENTS \nSarah Small and Wade McCollum will discuss their feature film\, Secondary Dominance\, as a hybrid biographical expression/auto-fiction documentary/long-form music video that explores trauma’s cellular imprint from a place where art and science intersect.  In the film\, a neuroscientist invites an artist to speak at a medical conference on PTSD\, trauma\, and the brain. During her talk\, she reads a letter she wrote to her childhood sexual abuser\, igniting a dance-and-music-centric journey into her psychological landscape\, illustrating the nonlinearity of memory and transformation.  A central topic of this discussion will include the complexity of being an Artist-Survivor and the challenges of representing cognitive\, emotional and sensory experiences relating to trauma through the sound and visual artistic medium of film. \nStudy Group participants should view the film in advance of the April 6rh meeting.  Please RSVP the email address above to receive the Private-Workshop-Preview screening link to view the film. \nThe second discussion meeting for this film will be hosted by the Sexual Abuse Study Group and Service on Thursday\, April 20th.  During this meeting we will expand further on our discussion of sexual abuse trauma and its representation through the performance and sensory experiences evoked by this film. \n  \nABOUT THE FILMMAKERS\nSarah Small is a multidisciplinary artist\, musician\, performer\, filmmaker\, and photographer. She comes from a family of writers\, psychoanalysts\, a lutenist / composer mother\, and a pianist / composer father.  Small spent her childhood playing cello\, concocting gibberish languages\, dancing\, and performing in musicals written by her mother. She became enraptured by photography when she was 13 yo\, and in 2001 graduated from Rhode Island School of Design with a BA in photography.  Small’s Balkan vocal trio\, Black Sea Hotel has toured and taught throughout the US and Scandinavia.\nWade McCollum is a Broadway\, West End and TV actor\, filmmaker\, singer\, composer\, writer\, director\, inventor\, and is co-founder of Neural Positive\, a neuroscience tech company.  McCollum used the almost 2 year break in live performance (2019-2020) to pursue a graduate degree in neuroscience at the University of Pennsylvania. Be it in theater\, on screen\, in boardrooms\, classrooms\, or laboratories\, McCollum’s life breathes with the interplay of art and science.\nThis event has been arranged by Frances V. Dillon\, MSW\, and Eric Dammann\, PhD\, Artist Study Group Co-Directors. \n

SUMMARY:The Embodied Psychoanalyst: Focusing Within\, Colloquium Series 2022-2023
DESCRIPTION:Digging up the Body: Lucy in the Session with Pictograms\nPASCAL SAUVAYRE\, PhD\, ORSHI HUNYADY\, PhD\, and VERA OSIPYAN\, LCSW\nFRIDAY\, MARCH 17th from 8:00-10:00PM\nPart of the live streamed webinar series. All events are held in Eastern Standard or Daylight time.\n  \nABOUT THIS PROGRAM \n‘Lucy’ was the name of an excavated skeleton; it was theorized to be the missing link between Homosapiens and their evolutionary predecessor\, the ape.  The archeological work\, one of Freud’s pivotal metaphors\, that (re)’discovered’ her\, allowed the modern human to recognize his connection to the forgotten animal in him.  In a similar vein\, we propose to devote our efforts to the archeological work to rediscover the body in psychoanalysis.  The body needs to be rediscovered because it has\, for the most part\, been forgotten and buried in our field\, in preference for the more formulated and developed linguistic media at the heart of the ‘talking cure’. But\, witness this colloquium series\, there has been a concerted effort to pull together disparate but brilliant attempts to bring it to light\, both in theory and in practice. \nWe will use the work of Petra Aulagnier\, and her concept of the pictogram\, assisted by the work of the philosopher Laszlo Tengelyi\, and his concept of the wild region of experience\, to help us theorize the missing links between the body and the psyche\, and their elusive but key presence in clinical experience. \nIt is in the terrain of ‘unformulated experience’ (to use a phrase with which many of us may be more familiar) that the archeological efforts are directed to find ‘shreds of experience’ (Tengelyi) that have remained unattended\, unformulated\, and buried.  ‘Unformulated’ should not be mistaken as undifferentiated and non-differentiable. It is as if this terrain “were an indefinite\, but very greatly abundant\, luminous switchboard; and the pattern of light which would show on the switchboard in a discrete experience is the basic prototaxic experience itself” (Sullivan).  We think that the “patterns of light” Sullivan speaks of are a way to understand Aulagnier’s “pictogram”\, something that has a proto organization\, an organization that can become a symbol\, but that cannot yet enter the realm of the symbolic (just as the common definition of pictogram has it). \nIf we take Aulagnier’s distinctions between the primal\, the primary\, and secondary process (going from the soma to the psyche) – and bring them into correspondence with Sullivan’s prototaxic\, parataxic\, syntaxic experience\, then the pictogram would be revealed as the (missing) link between the prototaxic and the parataxic.   The pictogram comes into existence in interaction with the mother; it is the infant’s first ( body) attempt at representation\, a response to the excitation engendered by the enigma of the mother’s psyche. In this sense\, at the beginning there is only the infant’s body and the mother’s psyche. The infant’s psyche – and his body as his – does not pre-exist the relationship with the mother\, it is given birth through that exchange. (This approach is different from the Bionian mother’s “pre-digesting experience” for the baby; it is closer to an interpersonal formulation). An erogenous zone becomes a ‘zone’ neither from stimulation from the inside\, nor imposed from the outside\, but emerges in the interaction.  This phenomenon\, uncanny when revealed in clinical work\, is the foundation for the elaboration of new meanings rooted in shreds of unattended experience. \nIf the fundamental psychoanalytic endeavor is framed as the inclusion of the excluded\, to attend to the unattended (Tengelyi uses the compelling phrase ‘an ethic of alterity’)\, we can then see that the attempt to refind the body is fundamentally psychoanalytic.  But\, in line with archeological digs\, there is no direct route to the body\, just as there is no direct route to the unconscious – drilling for oil it is not.  Indeed\, the intrusive and violent aspects of an oil drill would destroy the very object of our search.  The work of archeology is painstaking\, delicate\, and incremental\, and while it certainly disturbs the buried\, and while it cannot reveal the artifacts in their original state\, it respects the elusiveness of its object.  And in the same vein\, we insist that what could be referred to as ‘the opacity of the body’ must be respected\, which means any approach that claims to ‘unlock’ the mysteries of the body must be looked upon with much suspicion\, not only theoretically but also in clinical practice as well. \n  \nABOUT THE SPEAKERS \nPascal Sauvayre\, PhD\, is faculty and training analyst at the William Alanson White Institute. He studies and writes at the interdisciplinary borders of psychoanalysis. A recent project is the co-edited volume\, with Roger Frie\, of Culture\, Politics\, and Race in the Makings of Interpersonal Psychoanalysis published at Routledge in 2022.  In addition to the above entitled paper to be co-presented for this event\, among his current projects are the translation of Jean Laplanche’s Problématiques V: The Tub: The Transcendence of the Transference\, to be published at The Unconscious in Translation\, editing the English translation of Tomas Casado’s Early Relational Trauma and the Development of the Self\, to be published at Routledge\, as well as work on the question of the scientific status of psychoanalysis. Dr. Sauvayre has a private practice in New York City. \nOrshi Hunyady\, PhD\, is a supervising analyst and faculty at the William Alanson White Institute. She is an Associate Editor for Contemporary Psychoanalysis\, and she studies and writes about topics that highlight the link between psychoanalysis and social-societal phenomena. She has a full-time practice in New York City. \nVera Osipyan\, LCSW\,  is originally from the Republic of Georgia.

SUMMARY:Center for Public Mental Health presents Kenneth Barish
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Public Mental Health \nInvites You to \nWhy We Disagree: \nAnd How Can We Come Closer Together \nby \nKenneth Barish\, PhD \npresented via Zoom \nTUESDAY\, FEBRUARY 7\, 2023 \n11:45AM-1:00PM/Eastern \n  \nAbout the talk: \nRespectful and constructive dialogue is vanishing from American political life. There is perhaps no more urgent question for American society today than how we can listen and talk with each other constructively\, with less hostility and contempt. \nIn this talk\, Dr. Barish will offer answers to three questions: (1) What is the essence of conservative and liberal political opinions? (2) Why do we become conservative or liberal? (3) How can we talk together in a more productive way? He will present an understanding of liberal and conservative political ideologies\, drawing not only from politics but also from liberalism and conservatism in other spheres of life – in science\, religion\, and language. \nDr. Barish will then describe principles of constructive dialogue and reasoned debate among people who disagree. He will show how opposing groups\, motivated and inspired by different concerns\, may still share common goals; how we can listen and talk with each other with greater charity and humility; how extremism can be avoided; how ideology can be changed into pragmatism; and\, when we continue to disagree\, when we firmly believe that our opponents are wrong\, how we can discuss our differences with at least a modicum of understanding and respect. \nKenneth Barish\, PhD\, is on the faculty of the William Alanson White Institute Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy Training Program and the Westchester Center for the Study of Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy.

SUMMARY:The Artist Study Group
DESCRIPTION:The Artist Study Group of The Psychotherapy Service for People in the Arts presents Relational Public Art:  Solidarity\, Tourism\, Witnessing and Transforming Spaces in Occupied Palestine and Israel with Susan Greene\, PhD \nThursday\, February 2\, 2023\, 1:30-3pm \nAn Online Presentation \nJoin us via zoom at: \nhttps://wawhite.zoom.us/j/8180152948?pwd=cDkrUTlMSndQendyZzhnc054c0tpQT09 \nIn this presentation\, Dr. Greene will reflect on two community mural projects produced with Art Forces\, an art/activism organization she founded and directs. The first project took place from 2004-2011 with the Aamer family\, Palestinians who live in Mas’ha village in the West Bank. The Aamers live surrounded on four sides by the wall Israel has erected across the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The Aamers invited Greene\, international artists/activists\, and Jewish Israeli solidarity activists to work with them to paint a mural on the 24-foot wall they see when looking out of their front door. The second ongoing project\, entitled “I Witness Silwan\,” is located in Silwan\, East Jerusalem. Large-scale images of the eyes of local\, national\, and international leaders\, artists\, writers\, philosophers\, and more are being installed on the hillside\, visible from miles away\, including from Israeli tourist sites. Dr. Greene’s interrogation includes: In what ways have the murals changed or shifted the psychology of spaces; what is solidarity in this context of military occupation; how do the murals challenge dominant ideology and heritage tourism in East Jerusalem; and what are some of the dynamics of creativity and coping with trauma. \nWe look forward to an enriching study group discussion! \nSusan Greene\, Ph.D.\, is the director of US based Art Forces.  She is an interdisciplinary artist and clinical psychologist. Her practice traverses cultural arenas including video\, new media\, public art and murals.  Greene’s work focuses on the psychologies of space\, intersections of trauma\, creativity\, memory\, resilience and resistance. Specifically\, she is concerned with the ways in which architecture and tourism reinforce and reimagine borders\, migrations\, environmental and racial justice and decolonization.  She has a private practice in Bay Area\, CA. \nFrances V.

SUMMARY:LGBTQ STUDY GROUP w/ DANIEL POLYAK\, LP\, MA
DESCRIPTION:LGBTQ STUDY GROUP of the William Alanson White Institute invites you to a conversation with:   \nDANIEL POLYAK\, LP\, MA   \nFeeling Comfy in Gender: Investigating Gender Anxiety in Psychoanalytic Training \nWed. Feb 1\, 2023 \n8:30 – 10:00 pm (EST) \nGender anxieties exist in psychoanalytic training environments. This is not controversial. But these anxieties are typically unthought and unaddressed. Given these realities\, how does a psychoanalyst find their way to working analytically with transness? Daniel Polyak will explore this question through the discussion of case material and the transphobic anxieties that can arise when this material is presented in the context of psychoanalytic training. \nDaniel Polyak\, LP\, MA is a New York City based psychoanalyst and psychotherapist. He also teaches in the Women and Gender Studies program at Hunter College. He has published and presented on a range of topics including the intersections of queer theory and psychoanalytic practice\, the clinical relevance of cisgender\, and the implications of psychoanalytic practice in a neoliberal context. He is the author\, most recently\, of a chapter called “On Growing Up: A Cautionary Tale for Psychoanalysts” in the edited volume The Queerness of Childhood: Essays from the Other Side of the Looking Glass (2022). \nFor inquiries regarding the LGBTQ Study Group please contact Esin Egit\, PhD (Chair): e.egit@wawhite.org

SUMMARY:Colloquium 2022-2023 series
DESCRIPTION:A LIVE STREAMED WEBINAR SERIES \nPERRIN ELISHA\, PhD\, PC \nChallenging Mind/Body Dualism: \nTowards Embodied Practice \nwith Eating-Disordered Patients \nDiscussant SARAH SCHOEN\, PhD \n  \nFriday\, January 13th\, 2023 from 8:00-9:30PM/Eastern \nAll of this year’s series is held at the posted date and time\, during Eastern Daylight or Eastern standard time. \n  \nABOUT THE EVENING \nMy research has illustrated how the early views of mind/body dualism shaped the foundational ideas of depth psychology. Further\, the bias towards a dualistic view of the mind and body\, while dismissed by more contemporary psychoanalytic metapsychology and practice\, still remains in our language and implicit assumptions.  Building on the research in my book\, The Body in Psychoanalysis\, I will use two case studies in long term psychoanalytic work to illustrate the sensibility of a holistic view of the mind/body matrix in clinical practice. Both of these cases are patients who presented with eating disorders as their primary concern. I will illustrate\, through these two clinical journeys\, how I attempted to participate as an embodied analyst informed by a non-dualistic view of my patients’ eating disorder symptoms and psychological experience to inform the clinical work. This case work attempts to be a clinical illustration of a metapsychology which reaches beyond a hierarchical view in which the mind is supposed to arise out of the body\, towards a circular model of mind/body integration.  These case studies illustrate how an embodied psychoanalysis is necessary to support authentic\, gratifying emotional transformation rather than a simple intellectual understanding of one’s symptoms. \n  \nABOUT THE SPEAKER \nPerrin Elisha\, PhD\, is a clinical psychologist and certified psychoanalyst with a specialty area in psychosomatics\, eating disorders and relationship issues. She has published The Conscious Body\, A Psychoanalytic Exploration of the Body in Therapy\, a work exploring the mind-body relationship in psychoanalysis and psychotherapy. She has taught graduate and post graduate psychotherapy students in the areas of psychosomatics and eating disorders and helped found the Los Angeles Eating Disorders Study Center\, which trained licensed therapists to become effective in the treatment of eating disorders. Her passion is clinical work\, and Dr. Elisha is most effective helping people overcome barriers to healthy relationships and finding the care\, closeness\, and satisfaction available in life. She founded Relationships ReWired\, which offers psychoanalytically based psychoeducational courses for people wishing to navigate intimate relationships with wisdom\, skill and discernment. \n  \nABOUT THE DISCUSSANT \nSarah Schoen\, PhD\, is Adjunct Clinical Professor of Psychology at the New York University Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis in the I-H track\, and Faculty\, Supervising\, and Training Analyst at the William Alanson White Institute. She is on the editorial board of Contemporary Psychoanalysis\, and she teaches and writes about contemporary perspectives on gender\, narcissism\, and the clinical implications of the relational turn. Her recent edited volume (with co-editors Jean Petrucelli and Naomi Snider)\, Patriarchy and its Discontent: Psychoanalytic Perspectives is scheduled to be released in the fall of 2022 as part of the Routledge Series\, Psychoanalysis in a New Key. Most recently\, Dr. Schoen has been presenting a new paper exploring the patient’s experience of the analyst’s physicality. She is in private practice in Manhattan’s Flatiron District. \n

SUMMARY:LGBTQ Study Group: Trauma\, Gender\, and the Stories of Jewish Women with JILL SALBERG\, Ph.D.\, ABPP
DESCRIPTION:LGBTQ STUDY GROUP of the William Alanson White Institute invites you to a conversation with:   \nJILL SALBERG\, Ph.D.\, ABPP   \nTrauma\, Gender\, and the Stories of Jewish Women: \nThe Other Within  \nWed. January 4\, 2023 \nThis paper explores how trauma (individual\, cultural\, and historical) experiences and gender stories of women behaving more like men become intermingled. Drawing upon stories of women in Jewish literature (Beruriah and Yentl)\, psychoanalytic theories of gender\, and intergenerational transmission of trauma\, I will unpack how women carry vulnerability and helplessness whereas men are seen as stronger and agentic. The author believes that gender performance and passing highlight how gender becomes enlisted as a mode of traumatic transmission and possibly one type of internal psychic reparative resolution to complex traumatic experiences. \nJILL SALBERG\, Ph.D.\, ABPP is faculty and supervisor at the NYU Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis\, the Stephen Mitchell Center for Relational Studies\, the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy and a member of IPTAR. She is the editor of and contributor to Good Enough Endings: Breaks\, Interruptions and Terminations from Contemporary Relational Perspectives (2010) and Psychoanalytic Credos: Personal and Professional Journeys of Psychoanalysts (2022). She has co-edited with Sue Grand\, The Wounds of History: Repair and Resilience in the Transgenerational Transmission of Trauma\, and Transgenerational Trauma and the Other: Dialogues Across History and Difference\, (2017)\, both books won the Gradiva Award (2018). She has conceived of and co-edits a book series\, Psyche and Soul: Psychoanalysis\, Spirituality and Religion in Dialogue at Routledge/Taylor&Francis Group. She is in private practice in Manhattan and online. \nFor inquiries regarding the LGBTQ Study Group please contact \nEsin Egit\, PhD (Chair): e.egit@wawhite.org
