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. Dillon\, MSW and Eric Dammann\, PhD\, Co-Directors\,  Artist Study Group

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
