SUMMARY:Julianne Appel-Opper\, Zeynep Catay\, Ruella Frank\, and Helena Vissing
DESCRIPTION:Julianne Appel-Opper\, Zeynep Catay\, PhD\, Ruella Frank\, PhD\, and Helena Vissing\, PsyD\nwith Moderators Doris Brothers\, PhD\, and Jon Sletvold\, PsyD\nHOW DOES EARLY DEVELOPMENT AFFECT THE EMBODIMENT OF THE CLINICAL ENCOUNTER?\n  \nSATURDAY\, JUNE 1ST \n12 Noon – 2:00 PM/Eastern Daylight Time\n  \nA multi-view discussion followed by audience interaction. Presented in collaboration with The Wilhelm Reich Center for the Study of Embodiment.\n2 CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDITS ARE AVAILABLE. For CE Credit information\, click here\n  \nABOUT THIS EVENT\nThere can be little doubt that babies communicate with their caregivers through body–to–body interactions. However\, there are many ways to understand how these early interactions affect the embodiment of the therapeutic exchange. Our speakers offer a variety of perspectives on the crucial importance of understanding the link between embodiment in early life and the treatment situation.\nThis event brings together clinicians who hold a variety of views on the subject. The four speakers will answer questions posed by our two Moderators\, who are also Co-Directors of the Wilhelm Reich Center for the Study of Embodiment. After engaging in dialogue together\, members of our online audience will be invited to join the discussion.\n  \nABOUT THE WILHELM REICH CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF EMBODIMENT\nInspired by the pioneering work of Wilhelm Reich and encouraged by the recent surge of interest in embodiment among clinicians\, co-Directors Drs. Doris Brothers and Jon Sletvold have founded the Center. With it\, they are introducing an online forum for dialogues about the ways in which embodiment affects the theory and practice of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy.\nA wide range of approaches to embodiment have emerged in the last two decades that have led them to believe that a “turn toward embodiment” is underway. In the interest of furthering this turn they are offering a format that differs from the usual at psychoanalytic meetings. Rather than featuring a paper presenting a specific theorist or clinician followed by discussions\, they intend that each event will center around a specific topic. Speakers from around the world\, each of whom employs a different perspective on embodiment\, will be invited to participate in a roundtable conversation of the topic. Afterward\, online participants will be encouraged to join the conversation.\nLearn more about The Wilhelm Reich Center for the Study of Embodiment\n  \nCOSTS\nProfessionals $45\nCandidates and Students $25\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKERS\nJulianne Appel-Opper is a psychologist\, psychotherapist\, supervisor and trainer with 35 years of clinical experience.

SUMMARY:LGBTQ Study Group - David Goldenberg\, M.D.
DESCRIPTION:“Homophobia: A Symptom”  \n  \nWednesday\, May 8\, 2024 \n8:30 – 10:00 PM (EST) \n  \nDescription: The authors’ thesis is that the pervasive prejudices that are homophobia and/or misogyny should alert us to significant underlying pathology in development\, specifically in the resolution of ordinary or expectable developmentally normative narcissistic and relational wounds and conflicts. All gender development involves trauma. Structured forms of hatred—homophobia\, transphobia\, misogyny\, and the like–signify defenses against unresolved conflicts arising from trauma. We focus on two aspects of homophobia: (1) fear of one’s drive-based aggression projected into and seen as threats from a homosexual person\, and (2) symptoms of unresolved developmental conflicts that encompass competitive strivings; a maladaptive defense against feelings associated with helplessness resulting from unmet developmental needs. These needs involve the ‘seeing and being seen’ dynamic\, mirroring and parental reflection\, necessary for the development of a coherent and flexibly stable sense of self and identity regarding gender\, sexual attraction\, aggression\, and competition. \nDavid Goldenberg: is a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst in private practice in Manhattan. He is a graduate of the New York Psychoanalytic Society and Institute where he is on faculty. He is also on faculty at Weill Cornell Medical College where he teaches in the Brain and Behavior course and\, also at Payne Whitney\, where he supervises Psychiatry residents in psychodynamic psychotherapy. At NYPSI he has taught various courses and served as Director in the Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Program and has held multiple administrative and educational positions\, including co-teaching Freud’s Case Studies in the analytic training program. As an ongoing Adolescent Psychoanalysis Candidate\, David co-teaches the Theoretical and Technical Aspects of Child Analysis in the tri-Institutional child and adolescent analytic training program; and is co-chair of the Committee on Racial Consciousness and the Diversities. He is a member of the Columbia University Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research where he teaches a segment on mid-20th century ego psychology. He has written several book reviews for the Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association; participated on panels on Psychoanalysis and the Digital Age; presented papers on digitally-mediated dating and intimacy. His latest publication is about homophobia and misogyny with a revision of psychodynamic theories of gender development. \nFor inquiries regarding The LGBTQ Study Group please contact co-chairs\, \n  \nEsin Egit: e.egit@wawhite.org \nWilla France: poetadmiral@earthlink.net

SUMMARY:CAROL GILLIGAN\, PhD\, NAOMI SNIDER\, LLM\, LP\, and YAEL HALLAK with Discussant MICHELLE STEPHENS\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:DISTURBING THE SLEEP OF THE WORLD:  PSYCHOANALYSIS\, SOCIAL AWAKENING & RADICAL POLITICS\, the 2023-2024 Colloquium Series\nThe Colloquium Series 2023-2024 presented by the Psychoanalytic Society of the William Alanson White Institute\nDissociation\, Double Consciousness\, and Doublethink: Where Freud Meets W.E.B. DuBois and George Orwell\nCAROL GILLIGAN\, PhD\nNAOMI SNIDER\, LLM\, LP\nYAEL HALLAK\nDISCUSSANT: MICHELLE STEPHENS\,  PhD\n  \nABOUT TODAY’S TALK \n“…the splitting of consciousness which is so striking in the well-known classical cases under the form of “double conscience” is present to a rudimentary degree in every hysteria\, and that a tendency to such a dissociation\, and with it the emergence of abnormal states of consciousness (which we shall bring together under the term “hypnoid”) is the basic phenomenon of this neurosis” (Freud) \n“It is a peculiar sensation\, this double-consciousness\, this sense of always looking at one’s self through the eyes of others\, of measuring one’s soul by the tape of a world that looks on in amused contempt and pity. One ever feels his two-ness\,—an American\, a Negro; two souls\, two thoughts\, two unreconciled strivings; two warring ideals in one dark body\, whose dogged strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder.” (DuBois) \n“Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously\, and accepting both of them.”  (Orwell) \nThree key thinkers of the 20th century — the respective fathers’ of psychoanalysis; pan-Africanism and modern dystopian fiction — writing across a five decade time span\, happen upon the same discovery: the splitting of the conscious mind so that one can simultaneously know and not know. For one it is a psychic defense\, the other a symptom of anti-black racism and the third an instrument of the state that is used to maintain confusion. The same phenomenon looked at from three different angles\, when taken as a whole allows a new picture to emerge: the traumatic splitting of the mind as central to the maintenance of oppressive political systems. Bringing together the writing of Freud\, DuBois and Orwell\, Gilligan and Snider will sketch out an understanding of the psychological and social forces that inhibit and foster political resistance. With this understanding in mind\, the psychoanalytic project of expanding and integrating awareness becomes not just a matter of clinical process\, but political progress. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES:\n1.     Attendees will be able to articulate the parallels between psychoanalytic theories of dissociation and Orwell’s concept of “Double think” and W.E.B. DuBois theory of “Double consciousness”\n2.     Attendees will integrate these concepts into a psycho-social theory of dissociation.\n\nABOUT CAROL GILLIGAN\, PhD\nCarol Gilligan is the author of In a Different Voice\, “the little book that started a revolution” and Why Does Patriarchy Persist? with Naomi Snider. As a member of the Harvard faculty\, she initiated the Harvard Project on Women’s Psychology and Girls’ Development and held the university’s first chair in Gender Studies. As a University Professor at NYU\, she started the Radical Listening Project. Her books include The Birth of Pleasure\, Meeting at the Crossroads (with Lyn Mikel Brown)\, Kyra: a novel\, Joining the Resistance\, Darkness Now Visible (with David Richards)\, and most recently\, In a Human Voice. In 1996 she was named by Time magazine as one of the 25 Most Influential Americans.\nABOUT NAOMI SNIDER\, LLM\, LP\nNaomi Snider is a practicing psychoanalyst and graduate of the William Alanson White Institute of Psychiatry\, Psychoanalysis & Psychology\, where she currently serves as President of the Psychoanalytic Society. Her published works include the 2018 book\, Why Does Patriarchy Persist?\, co-authored with Carol Gilligan\, and the co-edited volume (with Jean Petrucelli and Sarah Schoen)\, Patriarchy and its Discontent: Psychoanalytic Perspective (2022). She is currently part of a research team from NYU’s Radical Listening Project that in collaboration with three girls’ schools\, is taking up one of the most urgent challenges of girls’ education: how to help girls develop the skills they need to resist pressures to self-silence in the name of inclusion and success.\nABOUT YAEL HALLAK\nYael Hallak\, a social psychologist\, holds a postgraduate Advanced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy certification from NYU and is currently pursuing her studies in the Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness graduate program.

SUMMARY:LGBTQ Study Group - JOY LADIN\, PHD
DESCRIPTION:Gender Identity is Just the Beginning: \nExploring the Creative Potential of Trans Perspectives and Experiences \n  \n Wednesday\, April\, 3 2024 \n8:30 – 10:00 PM (EST) \nDescription: Trans\, nonbinary\, and gender nonconforming people tend to spend a lot of time in and out of therapy figuring out our gender identities\, how to live them\, and how to defend ourselves against external and internalized challenges to living as who we are. This essential work can be so consuming that we and therapists who accompany us on our journeys may not consider the creative potential of trans experiences and perspectives beyond and between binary gender categories and the assumptions\, ways of life\, and worldviews based upon them – potential I have explored in many of my eleven collections of poetry. This talk will use a selection of those poems to demonstrate different ways to express trans experience and use the perspectives it opens to reimagine not just my personal gender identity but what it means\, and what it can mean\, to be human. \nJoy Ladin\, Ph.D.\, has long worked at the tangled intersection of literature and transgender identity\, publishing a memoir of gender transition\, National Jewish Book Award finalist Through the Door of Life; a groundbreaking book-length work of trans theology\, Lambda Literary and Triangle Award finalist\, The Soul of the Stranger; and ten books of poetry\, including Lambda Literary finalist Transmigration and Impersonation and National Jewish Book Award winner The Book of Anna. Two new books\, Once Out of Nature\, essays on how gender is changing\, and her eleventh collection of poems\, Family\, are forthcoming from Persea in 2024. Her writing has been recognized with a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship\, a Fulbright Scholarship\, an American Council of Learned Societies Research Fellowship\, and a Hadassah Brandeis Institute Research Fellowship\, among other honors. Her writing is available at joyladin.wordpress.com \n                                            For inquiries regarding The LGBTQ Study Group please contact co-chairs: \n  \nEsin Egit: e.egit@wawhite.org \nWilla France: poetadmiral@earthlink.net

SUMMARY:LGBTQ Study Group - SIEN RIVERA\, M.D.
DESCRIPTION:A Connected World: Playing With Identity Between the Virtual World and the Imagination \n  \nWednesday\, March\, 6 2024 \n8:30 – 10:00 PM (EST) \nDescription: This presentation will examine the use of virtual spaces as potential space in identity formation\, through the lens of the theories of D. W. Winnicott\, focusing on the worlds of video games specifically. A video game is not just its gameplay mechanics or genre. It is a text that contains language\, characters\, mythologies and mysteries to be explored and dissected. It is an aesthetic art that\, through visuals and music\, evokes universal emotions and human experiences. It is a performance art\, wherein the player can toy with perspective and interact beyond the role of observer\, retaining agency through their avatar. It is a shared vocabulary that can be a foundation to build community with others. These elements\, either during the video game or even after the video game is turned off\, can invoke the imagination to access the most important component of Winnicott’s definition of play: that play is built on the manipulation of exterior phenomena in service of an inner dream reality. \nTo demonstrate this point\, this presentation will comprise two complementary case studies: a 17-year-old trans patient in psychodynamic psychotherapy\, and the presenter themselves\, in interaction with this patient. For both the therapist and the patient\, virtual spaces were integral to the safe expression of play\, and in turn\, an evolving relationship to trauma\, the body\, and gender identity. \n  \nSien (pronounced\, “Sheen”) Rivera\, MD\, is Assistant Program Director of the Prisma Health Midlands/University of South Carolina General Psychiatry residency program\, and Assistant Professor at University of South Carolina School of Medicine in Columbia\, SC. They received their medical degree from SUNY Stony Brook School of Medicine and completed their general psychiatry residency and child adolescent psychiatry fellowship at Prisma Health Midlands/University of South Carolina. They are co-chair of the American Psychoanalytic Association’s Committee on Gender and Sexuality and they present nationally and internationally on topics related to gender\, sexuality\, and new technologies. \n  \n  \n\n\n\nPlease note: \n  \n– The registrants will receive the Zoom link to attend this meeting via email from \nThe William Alanson White Institute with subject line: \n“LGBTQ Study Group 2023-2024”. \n  \n– LGBTQ Study Group events are not recorded. \n  \n– We are not able to provide CE credits at this time. \n \n\n\n\n  \nFor inquiries regarding The LGBTQ Study Group please contact co-chairs\, \n  \nEsin Egit: e.egit@wawhite.org \nWilla France: poetadmiral@earthlink.net

SUMMARY:FRANCOISE DAVONE\, HEATHER FERGUSON\, STEVEN KNOBLAUCH\, HENRY MARKMAN
DESCRIPTION:Francoise Davoine\, PhD\,\nHeather Ferguson\, LCSW\,\nStephen Knoblauch\, PhD\,\nHenry Markman\, MD\nwith Moderators Doris Brothers\, PhD\, and Jon Sletvold\, PsyD\nHow Are Trauma and Dissociation Embodied?\nFebruary 24th\, 2024 from 12 Noon to 2:00PM/Eastern time\nA multi-view discussion followed by audience interaction. Presented in collaboration with The Wilhelm Reich Center for the Study of Embodiment.\n2 CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDITS ARE AVAILABLE.  For CE credit information\, click here. \nABOUT THIS EVENT\nAlthough it is widely acknowledged that trauma and dissociation profoundly affect our bodies\, answers to questions about just how this happens vary greatly. A clinician’s understanding of the effects of trauma and dissociation on the body has important implications for the healing process.\nThis event brings together several clinicians who hold a variety of views on the subject. The four speakers will answer questions posed by our two Moderators\, who are also Co-Directors of the Wilhelm Reich Center for the Study of Embodiment. After engaging in dialogue together\, members of our online audience will be invited to join the discussion.\nABOUT THE WILHELM REICH CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF EMBODIMENT\nInspired by the pioneering work of Wilhelm Reich and encouraged by the recent surge of interest in embodiment among clinicians\, co-Directors Drs. Doris Brothers and Jon Sletvold have founded the Center. With it\, they are introducing an online forum for dialogues about the ways in which embodiment affects the theory and practice of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy.\nA wide range of approaches to embodiment have emerged in the last two decades that have led them to believe that a “turn toward embodiment” is underway. In the interest of furthering this turn they are offering a format that differs from the usual at psychoanalytic meetings. Rather than featuring a paper presenting a specific theorist or clinician followed by discussions\, they intend that each event will center around a specific topic. Speakers from around the world\, each of whom employs a different perspective on embodiment\, will be invited to participate in a roundtable conversation of the topic. Afterward\, online participants will be encouraged to join the conversation.\nLearn more about The Wilhelm Reich Center for the Study of Embodiment\nABOUT THE SPEAKERS\nFrançoise Davoine\, PhD\, has completed studies in classical literature.

SUMMARY:JANE HASSINGER\, LCSW\, DCSW and BILLIE PIVNICK\, PhD with Discussant George Bermudez\,  PhD
DESCRIPTION:DISTURBING THE WORLD: PSYCHOANALYSIS\, SOCIAL AWAKENING & RADICAL POLITICS\, the 2023-2023 Colloquium Series\nThe Colloquium Series 2023-2024 presented by the Psychoanalytic Society of the William Alanson White Institute\nThe 21st Century Psychoanalyst: Clinician\, Community Member\, and Relational Citizen\nJANE HASSINGER\, LCSW\, DCSW \nBILLIE PIVNICK\, PhD\nDISCUSSANT: GEORGE BERMUDEZ\,  PhD\n  \nABOUT TONIGHT’S PRESENTATION\nPsychological development and related mental health challenges unique to the 21st century call attention to the ways social\, cultural\, and political arrangements interlace with our psychic worlds and must become integral parts of our psychoanalytic endeavor (Cushman\, 2015; Butler\, 2022). Extending the pioneering work of WAWI’s Sullivan\, Fromm\, and Bromberg\, we recognize the developmental significance of our participation in community life.  We are each a part of an unconscious group matrix – dyad\, group\, family\, institution – which influences the organization of psychic life (Foulkes\, 1964; Tubert-Oklander\, 2014). These networks constitute self-states or ‘groups-in-the-mind’ (Shapiro\, 2020) and are significant though under theorized features of our internal worlds.\nWhat we have called “the community turn” in psychoanalysis acknowledges that public participation in community life\, for example\, as neighbors and as citizens\, constitutes an important aspect of adult development and contributes to the intersubjective experience of oneself as a generative citizen among citizens–what we have termed ‘relational citizenship’ (Hassinger & Pivnick\, 2022; Pivnick & Hassinger; 2023). Evolving from the experience of taking up roles in groups\, relational citizenship is an expression at both intrapsychic and interpersonal levels\, of maturing capacities for intersubjective perspective taking and group relations outside the family (Shapiro & Carr 1991\, 2017). This psychological work produces increased empathy for others\, self-authorization\, and the capacity for managing multiple group identifications necessary for mature participation as a citizen in community life.). These multiple group identifications complement the multiplicity of other internalized object relations (Bromberg 1998\, 2011).\nBroadening our framework to include the conscious and unconscious intersubjective field enables us to acknowledge and work within a dynamic\, dialectical view of the self-in-context in which group and community life become legitimate features of the therapeutic enterprise. Based on their work as founders of the Psychoanalytic Community Collaboratory\, the presenters will discuss their concept of ‘relational citizenship\,’ and how it links clinical and community practice.\n2 CE credits are available for this event.\nABOUT JANE HASSINGER\, LCSW\, DCSW\nJane Hassinger is a Community and Group Psychoanalyst in Ann Arbor\, Michigan who teaches at the Psychoanalytic Institute of Northern California and the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalyst.

SUMMARY:Embodied Ecology:  Listening in the Space Between Us with Karen Hopenwasser\, MD
DESCRIPTION:PRESENTED BY THE ARTIST STUDY GROUP OF THE PSYCHOTHERAPY SERVICE FOR PEOPLE IN THE ARTS\nTHURSDAY\, FEBRUARY 1st\, 2024 from 1:30-3:00PM/Eastern\nAttend in person or online as follows: \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 \nPlease RSVP to attend: fvdillon@gmail.com \n  \nABOUT THIS PRESENTATION\nThrough the study of the philosophy of embodied cognition and the teachings of somatic therapies\, we can open the experience of dissociative self-states in our patients and in ourselves.  As a musician and psychiatrist\, Dr. Hopenwasser will describe her awakening to a new way of listening; transforming the passive knowing of information into the mindful awareness she names “dissociative attunement.”  Through clinical material and slides\, she will describe the multi-dimensional\, non-linear flow of information; both in present time and from generation to generation\, highlighting the rhythm of musical encounter.\nThis meeting will explore the complex world we live in\, filled with vibration and resonances we cannot hear but that can emerge through bi-directional rhythmic processes and oscillations in our bodies as resonating chambers.  Join us for a rich presentation and discussion of listening in the space between us.\n  \nABOUT THE SPEAKER\nKaren Hopenwasser\, MD\, graduated from SUNY Stony Brook School of Medicine and specializes in psychiatry.  She is a Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medical College.  Dr. Hopenwasser has written about trauma and dissociation in the psychotherapeutic process and intergenerational transmission of trauma.  Some of her work is published in The Rhythm of Resilience:  A deep ecology of entangled relationality\, J. Salberg and S. Grand (eds)\,  and The Wounds of History:  Repair and Resilience in the Transgenerational Transmission of Trauma\,  Routledge.\n\nFrances V.

SUMMARY:KATHARINA ROTHE\,  PhD with Discussant Pascal Sauvayre\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:DISTURBING THE SLEEP OF THE WORLD: PSYCHOANALYSIS\, SOCIAL AWAKENING & RADICAL POLITICS\, the 2023-2024 Colloquium Series\nThe Colloquium Series 2023-2024 presented by the Psychoanalytic Society of the William Alanson White Institute\nCultural Analysis Now! Urszenen of Money\, Powerlessness\, and Race\nKATHARINA ROTHE\,  PhD\nDISCUSSANT: PASCAL SAUVAYRE\, PhD\n  \nABOUT TODAY’S TALK\nIn recent years\, even mainstream psychoanalysis in the Global North has begun to explicitly include the social and political realm into ways of thinking about the individual. But considering individual and intimate suffering as fundamentally and inextricably immersed in the societal realm is not new to psychoanalytic thinking\, and the Frankfurt School has been working from this perspective since the 1930s. At the core of their project we find the idea of societal violence — namely\, within the capitalistic economic structure — ‘entering’ the subject through interactions with its first others and shaping its drive structure from birth.\nAlfred Lorenzer was a vitally important link between the Frankfurt School of Freudian-influenced social critique\, and contemporary psychoanalysis. Writing in Germany post-war\, and previously unavailable in English\, Lorenzer provided radically political and socially engaged reformulations of Freud and the psychoanalytic project. In their book\, Cultural Analysis Now! Katharina Rothe\, Steffen Krüger and Dan Rosengart bring one of Lorenzer’s seminal texts to anglophone audiences as well four commentaries on the work. For this presentation Dr. Rothe will introduce Lorenzer’s key concepts\, such as the scene and scenic understanding that have been employed to critically analyze what we may call the psychosocial or psycho-societal realm. She will discuss scenes around race\, money and power in the consulting room in relation to Freud’s primal scenes (Urszenen)\, and she will then zoom in on the very link between social reality and psychic fantasy when presenting such clinical scenes through the lens of Alfred Lorenzer’s scenic understanding. Pascal Sauvayre is the Discussant.\nABOUT  KATHARINE ROTHE\, PhD\nKatharina Rothe is a psychologist\, psychoanalyst and psychosocial researcher. She is a graduate of psychoanalytic training at the W. A. White Institute in New York where she teaches the course Gender\, Sex & Sexuality. She also teaches and supervises candidates at the Institute for Contemporary Psychoanalysis. Alongside maintaining a private practice in NYC\, she is widely published in academic journals and books on psychoanalysis\, qualitative methods in psychosocial research\, sex and gender\, anti-Semitism\, racism and the aftermath of the Holocaust. She is on the editorial boards of the German journal Psychoanalyse. Texte zur Sozialforschung and of Contemporary Psychoanalysis. Starting October 2023 she will also be teaching at the Sigmund Freud University in Berlin.\nABOUT PASCAL SAUVAYRE\, PhD\nPascal Sauvayre is faculty and training analyst at the William Alanson White Institute. He studies\, teaches\, and writes at the intersection of psychoanalysis and philosophy. A recent project includes editing\, with Roger Frie\, the book entitled ‘Culture\, Politics\, and Race in the Making of Interpersonal Psychoanalysis’\, published at Routledge.  He has a private practice in New York City.\nLearning Objectives for this program:\nAttendees will be able to explain some of the central ideas of Alfred Lorenzer\, such as the psychoanalytic method of “scenic understanding” and the in-depth hermeneutics of culture and society.\nAttendees will learn how to construct clinical interpretations that integrate the personal and the social.\n

SUMMARY:LGBTQ Study group w/ Willa N. France\, J.D.
DESCRIPTION:LGBTQ STUDY GROUP of the William Alanson White Institute invites you to a conversation with \n  \nWilla N. France\, J.D.\n  \nGender Identity as Fetish \nPart 1: Creating a Gender—Clinical Material \n  \nWednesday January 10\, 2024 \n08:30 – 10:00 PM (EST) \n  \nDescription: \nTrauma infuses us\, from our first beginnings. Jean Laplanche articulates our fundamental anthropological situation—the asymmetry of caregiver and infant; the barrage of messages addressed to us as infants and children—enigmatic\, intromitted\, introjected\, translatable and untranslatable. And so our socialization begins. It is hard to imagine a more significant trauma than our family’s and civil and religious authorities’ assignment of our genders—based on a genital binary. We are authorized to inhabit the identities of but one half of humanity\, the other foreclosed. It is\, in the Western world at least\, a Universal Gender Trauma. Binaries seem so natural; definitional categories that can become concrete\, then reified\, then essential for identity—a kind of bedrock of difference—serving both to express and defend who we are. Difference and disavowal are a familiar pair\, the very foundation of fetishism. And when the anxiety of difference\, of ambiguity\, becomes overwhelming\, the mere presence of a different other can feel like an assault calling for defensive measures\, personal and social. Through a clinical example we will see how one transwoman navigated such traumas and came to create and inhabit her gender. At first an identity held tightly but over a number of years more loosely and lightly. \n  \nSpeaker’s bio: \nTranswoman Willa N. France (she/her/hers) began her physical transition in 2004 at the age of 55. Her early careers are in naval architecture and marine engineering and then law dating back to 1972. She has completed her fourth year candidacy in the William Alanson White Institute’s psychoanalytic training program\, LQP tract\, and will continue for another to complete patient hour requirements. Willa was born in Wisconsin to parents who raised mink. At an early age\, her family moved several times throughout the west before settling on the Oregon coast\, their livelihood always based on mink ranching. She has lived with her wife of almost 51 years\, a psychologist and psychoanalyst\, in East Harlem\, New York for nearly 40 years. They have one son\, a wonderful daughter-in-law and two grandchildren. Willa has written poetry for many years and self-published a novel in verse in 2007 titled Incunabulum (ISBN 0741443759).  Her transition story\, Desiderium\, remains\, not surprisingly\, a work in process. \n  \n\n\n\nPlease note: \n– The registrants will receive the Zoom link to attend this meeting via email from “William Alanson White Institute” with the subject line: \n“LGBTQ Study Group 2023-2024”. \n– LGBTQ Study Group events are not recordeded. \n– We are not able to provide CE credits at this time.\n\n\n\n  \nFor inquiries regarding The WAWI LGBTQ Study Group please contact co-chairs who wish you a Happy New Year. \n  \nEsin Egit: e.egit@wawhite.org \nWilla France: poetadmiral@earthlink.net

SUMMARY:Ernesto Mujica on Mayan Portals into Parallel Realities\, Windows into History\, Fantasy & the Unconscious
DESCRIPTION:PRESENTED BY THE ARTIST STUDY GROUP OF THE PSYCHOTHERAPY SERVICE FOR PEOPLE IN THE ARTS\nTHURSDAY\, JANUARY 4th\, 2024 from 1:30-3:00PM/Eastern\nAttend in person or online:\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\nPlease RSVP to attend: fvdillon@gmail.com\n \n  \nABOUT THIS PRESENTATION\nMayan constructions of reality assume multiplicity of self and other\, suggesting that there are portals to be explored between what we experience as material and spiritual reality. From the beginning of our psychoanalytic approach to the exploration of mental functioning\, we have also been preoccupied with accessing the portals of exploration of multiple realities\, primarily as represented by what we consider conscious and unconscious mental functioning. Our approach has emphasized dreams as a primary path of exploration\, and we have expanded our sensitivity to such “portals” by attending to the nuances of dissociative states in our patients as well as in ourselves.\nThis meeting will explore how Mayan artists have represented and entered such explorations of self and other\, time and space. Both historical and current Mayan art will be shown and discussed alongside current day clinical case material to draw parallels that seek to expand our exploration of dissociative experiences.\nABOUT THE PRESENTER\nErnesto Mujica\, PhD\, is Director of the Sexual Abuse Study Group and Service at the William Alanson White Institute\, where he also serves as an Associate Editor of the Institute’s journal\, Contemporary Psychoanalysis.  Dr. Mujica is a supervisor of psychotherapy at WAWI\, and at the doctoral program in Clinical Psychology of Teachers College\, Columbia University. He integrates his clinical work in the areas of childhood and adult trauma\, as well sociocultural factors in mental health\, along with his strong interest in the arts. His previous talks for The Artists Study Group have included discussions of artists El Anatsui (Ghana & Nigeria)\, Kent Monkman (First Nations-Cree\, Canada)\, and Yayoi Kusama (Japan).\nFrances V.

SUMMARY:Intimate\, Everyday Beauty before the Fall: Europe 1934\, A Window Back in Time presented by the Artist Group
DESCRIPTION:Intimate\, Everyday Beauty before the Fall: \nEurope 1934\, A Window Back in Time\nDan Scheuer\, Jonathan Scheuer\, and Charles Seton\n\nIntroduction and Discussant:  Jenny Kaufmann\, Ph.D.\nPresented by the Artist Study Group of The Psychotherapy Service for People in the Arts\nThursday\, December 7th from 1:30-3:00PM\nIn person at the Institute\, in the Library\, at 20 West 74th Street (between Columbus & Central Park West)\nor online via Zoom: https://wawhite.zoom.us/j/8180152948?pwd=cDkrUTlMSndQendyZzhnc054c0tpQT09\nWe will discuss Richard H Scheuer’s compelling\, candid photographs\, taken in Europe pre-World War II. The restored images are presented as a testament to Scheuer’s talent as a visual storyteller and his insight as a 17-year-old observer. Through an evocative slide show of everyday life in the Jewish Quarter of Warsaw\, the Moscow State Yiddish Theatre\, and scenes of Sarajevo\, among others\, his visuals convey a combination of intimacy and connection with his subjects. In sharing these moments in time\, Dan Scheuer has said\, ”  I can’t bring my Dad back to show him what he accomplished\, but this is the next best thing.”\nAs a study group\, we have the opportunity to explore our own associations\, memories\, feelings and thoughts as witnesses to creative expression through these contextualized visuals. In exploring the implicit\, we will discuss the role visual images play in clinical practice.  Does exposure to new observations magnify the possibility of seeing what is hidden? Or private? And what was not there before?\n\nWe encourage any who are able to attend this meeting in person\, so that they may see the actual portfolio of large exhibition prints for themselves\,  on display in the Institute’s Library for the afternoon.\n  \nDan Scheuer is a photographer and educator based in New Rochelle\, NY. He received an MFA degree in Photography from Pratt Institute  and taught there for 18 years. Since retiring from Pratt he has continued to photograph and produce photography related projects.\n Jonathan Scheuer\, a film and music producer said\, “The poignancy and pain of Warsaw is a given. But it’s important to see the whole trip\, the beauty of the photography as art\, how the life of one person can be apprehended in a single photograph.”\nCharles Seton\, photographer (his photographs appear on the latest Grateful Dead album)\, educator\, archivist and photo restoration specialist\, has been the Scheuer family photographer for over 40 years and has spent the last six years restoring these photographs and preparing them for exhibition.\nJenny Kahn Kaufmann\, Director of Curriculum at WAWI\, teaches classes on Comparative Conceptualizations and Treatment Approaches in Working with Narcissistic Patients\, Transference andCountertransference and The Psychoanalytic Contribution of Jay Greenberg: A Radical “Middle-of-the-Road” Perspective.  She is a lifetime friend of Dan and the Scheuer family.\nYou must RSVP to attend.

SUMMARY:WILLIAM CORNELL\, ROGER FRIE\, LYNNE JACOBS\, NANCY WINTERS
DESCRIPTION:WILLIAM CORNELL\, MA\,\nROGER FRIE\, PhD\, PsyD\,\nLYNNE JACOBS\, PhD\nNANCY WINTERS\, MD\, FIPA\nwith MODERATORS DORIS BROTHERS\, PhD and JON SLETVOLD\, PsyD\nWhat is Embodiment in Clinical Practice?\nSaturday\, November 18th from 12Noon to 2:00PM/Eastern time\nA multi-view discussion followed by audience interaction. Presented in collaboration with The Wilhelm Reich Center for the Study of  Embodiment.\n2 CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDITS ARE AVAILABLE.  For CE credit information\, click here. \nABOUT THIS EVENT\nHumans are fundamentally embodied. While clinicians starting with Freud have either explicitly or implicitly endorsed this idea\, there is no agreement about just what embodiment means in clinical practice. There is much to be learned from the many perspectives on embodiment that have recently been advanced. This event brings together several clinicians who hold a variety of different views on the subject. The four speakers will answer questions posed by two Moderators\, who are also Co-Directors of the Wilheim Reich Center for the Study of Embodiment. After they engage in dialogue\, members of the online audience will be invited to join the discussion. \nABOUT THE WILHELM REICH CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF EMBODIMENT\nInspired by the pioneering work of Wilhelm Reich and encouraged by the recent surge of interest in embodiment among clinicians\, co-Directors Drs. Doris Brothers and Jon Sletvold have founded the Center. With it\, they are introducing an online forum for dialogues about the ways in which embodiment affects the theory and practice of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy. \nA wide range of approaches to embodiment have emerged in the last two decades that have led them to believe that a “turn toward embodiment” is underway. In the interest of furthering this turn they are offering a format that differs from the usual at psychoanalytic meetings. Rather than featuring a paper presenting a specific theorist or clinician followed by discussions\, they intend that each event will center around a specific topic. Speakers from around the world\, each of whom employs a different perspective on embodiment\, will be invited to participate in a roundtable conversation of the topic. Afterward\, online participants will be encouraged to join the conversation. \nLearn more about The Wilhelm Reich Center for the Study of Embodiment\nABOUT THE SPEAKERS\nWILLIAM CORNELL\, MA\, maintains an independent private practice of psychotherapy and consultation in Pittsburgh\, PA.  He teaches internationally with a primary focus on working with somatic processes and sexuality.  He is a founding faculty member of the recently inaugurated Western Pennsylvania Community for Psychoanalytic Therapies and is the author of Explorations in Transactional Analysis: The Meech Lake Papers\, Somatic Experience in Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy: In the expressive language of the living\, Self-Examination in Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy: Countertransference and subjectivity in clinical practice\, At the Interface of Transactional Analysis\, Psychoanalysis\, and Body Psychotherapy: Theoretical and clinical perspectives\, and Une Vie Pour Etre Soi.  He is a co-author and editor of Into TA: A comprehensive textbook\, which have been translated into several languages.  Bill has published numerous articles and book chapters\, many of which have been translated into French\, Italian\, German\, Portuguese\, and Chinese.  Bill edited and introduced books by James T.

SUMMARY:ALEXANDER STILLE\, MS\, RICHARD WAUGAMAN\, MD with Discussant Roger Frie\, PhD\, PsyD
DESCRIPTION:DISTURBING THE SLEEP OF THE WORLD: PSYCHOANALYSIS\, SOCIAL AWAKENING & RADICAL POLITICS\, the 2023-2024 Colloquium series\nThe Colloquium Series 2023-2024\, presented by the Psychoanalytic Society of the William Alanson White Institute\nUtopian Dreams\, the Promise & the Peril: From the Sullivanians to Chestnut Lodge and Sheppard Pratt\nALEXANDER STILLE\, MS\nRICHARD WAUGAMAN\, MD \nDISCUSSANT: ROGER FRIE\, PhD\, PsyD\n  \nABOUT ALEXANDER STILLE’S TALK\nThe Sullivan Institute was something of a scandal in New York’s psychoanalytic circles: a polygamous community in which therapists and patients lived together in large group apartments on the Upper West Side. It all came apart in the late 1980’s amid lawsuits and salacious revelations of widespread therapeutic abuse which resulted in several of its leading therapists losing their professional licenses.\nHowever\, it is worth considering this black sheep’s place in the family album of New York’s psychoanalytic institutes. Its founders  were\, in fact\, a breakaway faction from the William Alanson White Institute even if Sullivan had been dead for several years when they started an institute in his name in 1957. They were political radicals who believed that psychoanalysis had great revolutionary potential but that mainstream psychiatry had chosen to be a pillar of the established order. In their view\, Sullivan’s ideas – the notion that people grew from contact with other people; that they continued growing in adulthood – offered\, in their view\, an alternative. Sullivan had achieved notable results treating patients with schizophrenia with group community living. Why not give this opportunity to all patients who might grow by living with each other?  Sullivan had identified the “self-system” as the psyche’s way of internalizing and maintaining an unhappy status quo but Pearce and Newton felt that Sullivan had not followed through on what they saw as the logical implications of Sullivan’s ideas: that the family\, as the keeper of the self-system\, needed to be abandoned; that monogamous marriage\, another pillar of the established order\, needed to be knocked down. In the broader political and social context in the mid-1950’s\, they saw personal liberation as a fundamental aspect of wider social revolution. They believed that psychoanalysis involved putting people in touch with the “underground” of their instinctual life\, which had been buried by the condition of family and society and that the therapist was essentially the ally of “guerilla fighter” that lived inside of each of us and yearned for real growth and experience. Clearly\, these metaphors draw on the political context of the times — the Communist revolutions in China\, Algeria and Cuba. As they wrote in “Conditions of Human Growth\,” “Successful analysis involves becoming accustomed to revolution.” As one former therapist in the group said: “We asked all the right questions and got all the wrong answers.”\n  \nABOUT ALEXANDER STILLE\, MS\nAlexander Stille is the author of six books of nonfiction including Benevolence and Betrayal: Five Italian-Jewish Families Under Fascism; Excellent Cadavers: The Mafia and the Death of the First Italian Republic; The Future of the Past; The Sack of Rome\, about Silvio Berlusconi; a family memoir\, The Force of Things: A Marriage in War and Peace. HIs latest is The Sullivanians: Sex\, Psychotherapy and the Wild Life of an American Commune. He has written for a wide range of publications including The New Yorker\, The Atlantic\, The New York Review of Books\, The New York Times\, The New York Times Magazine. He has also been since 2004 a professor of international journalism at the Graduate School of Journalism at Columbia University.\nABOUT RICHARD WAUGAMAN\, MD\nRichard M. Waugaman\, M.D. is Clinical Professor of Psychiatry\, and  Training and Supervising Analyst\, Emeritus at the Washington Psychoanalytic Institute. Half of his 200-plus publications are on Shake-speare. His two ebooks are Newly Discovered works by “William Shake-Speare\,” a.k.a.

SUMMARY:Anastasios Gaitanidis\, PhD\, Hearing Other Voices: The Ear as the Eye  of Invisible Suffering
DESCRIPTION:The Artist Study Group of the Psychotherapy Service for People in the Arts\npresents\nAnastasios Gaitanidis\, PhD\nHearing Other Voices: The Ear as the Eye\nof Invisible Suffering\nAttend in person at the Institute Library at 20 West 74th Street or attend online via zoom at: https://wawhite.zoom.us/j/8180152948?pwd=cDkrUTlMSndQendyZzhnc054c0tpQT09\nABOUT THIS PRESENTATION\nIn this presentation\, Dr. Gaitanidis proposes an aesthetics of alterity that critiques an attitude which privileges orderly sensibilities that blind us to the horrors of social violence and exclusion. Instead\, he contends\, psychoanalysis must foster ethical receptivity to hearing dissonant cries and marginalized voices excluded by current ideologies.\nThis radical openness requires relinquishing our consulting room’s sensuous insulation and permits marginalized voices to permeate the analytic space. This infiltrative hearing counters the traditional psychoanalytic tendency to isolate and insulate. It foregrounds suffering that is rendered invisible\, dismantling ideological barriers. Dr. Gaitanidis will illuminate this radical aesthetic attitude through art’s power to express the unspeakable. He profoundly draws on the definition of art as  “intentionless intention”; hovering in the gap between meaning and meaninglessness\, art conveys unbearable affect beyond language.\nCrucially\, he argues this gap is also where analysis unfolds. The analyst must tune into the timbre and rhythm of experience\, not just interpret meaning. This attunement reclaims damaged aliveness that trauma forecloses.  Art and analysis alike embrace life’s entirety from horror to love. Accepting our painful brokenness through such attunement is vital for becoming fully alive. By presenting a number of clinical vignettes relevant to this topic\, he would like to chart a vision of aesthetics awakened to exclusion and suffering. His hope is that this radical aesthetics will infuse sealed spaces with transformative solidarity.\nDr. Anastasios Gaitanidis is a relational psychoanalyst in private practice working in London\, UK. In addition to his clinical work as a psychoanalyst\, he has held appointments as a senior lecturer and director of studies and provided clinical and research supervision to psychoanalysts\, psychotherapists and counseling psychologists at the SITE for Contemporary Psychoanalysis\, Regent’s University London and University of Roehampton. He currently holds the position of  Visiting Professor for the professional doctorate in counseling psychology at Regent’s University London.  Dr. Gaitanidis is also the Theory Editor of the European Journal of Psychotherapy and Counselling (EJPC) and he has authored and published a substantial body of academic work including journal articles and edited books over the years\, with a recent book\, The Sublime in Everyday Life.\nPlease RSVP to attend this event\, either in person or virtually.

SUMMARY:LGBTQ STUDY GROUP with Jack Drescher\, MD
DESCRIPTION:Description: The history of psychoanalytic theorizing about homosexuality is more than a century old and has undergone numerous revisions. Early on\, psychoanalytic attitudes toward homosexuality could be reasonably characterized as hostile. The presentation begins with Freud’s early views on homosexuality within the cultural context of his times. It then reviews later pathologizing psychoanalytic theories as well as the research of sexologists which ultimately led to the 1973 decision of the American Psychiatric Association to remove homosexuality from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM).  Today the contributions of openly lesbian and gay analysts have shifted psychoanalytic focus on homosexuality from discussions of “why gay?” to the more clinically relevant question of “how gay?” This presentation shows how the history of psychoanalytic attitudes toward homosexuality illustrates how psychological theories cannot be divorced from the political\, cultural\, and personal contexts in which they are formulated.

SUMMARY:Testimonies During Wartime: Lessons from Listeing to Extremity - A Ukrainian lecture
DESCRIPTION:Testimonies During Wartime: Lessons from Listening to Extremity\nСвідчення під час війни:  уроки вислуховування екстремального\nStevan Weine\, MD\npresented in Ukrainian by the Online Interpersonal Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Program for Mental Health Professionals from Ukraine\nABOUT THE TALK\nTestimony rests on a therapeutic ambition: If I tell my story\, I may remake not only myself\, but others too and perhaps even the larger public. Testimony is an imperfect balancing of the individual and the social\, the local and the universal\, the private and the public\, but it just might be good enough. Testimony’s seeming ability to “fuse” or create a shortcut between the private and public worlds\, combined with its considerable redemptive promise\, have given it a unique therapeutic and social power.  We will consider lessons from the testimonies of survivors of war and political violence in the 20th century\, including from Bosnia-Herzogovina\, and how they might inform the giving and receiving of testimonies involving those living through the war in Ukraine.\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\nStevan Weine\, MD\, is Professor of Psychiatry at the College of Medicine of the University of Illinois Chicago\, where he is also Director of Global Medicine and Director of the Center for Global Health. For 30 years he has been conducting research both with refugees and migrants in the U.S. and in post-conflict countries\, focused on mental health\, health\, and violence prevention. This work has resulted in more than 130 publications and three books: When History is a Nightmare: Lives and Memories of Ethnic Cleansing in Bosnia-Herzegovina (1999); Testimony and Catastrophe: Narrating the Traumas of Political Violence (2006)\, and;  Best Minds: How Allen Ginsberg Made Revolutionary Poetry from Madness (2023) .\nПро лекцію\nСвідчення базується на терапевтичних амбіціях: якщо я розповім свою історію\, я можу переробити не лише себе\, але й інших і\, можливо\, навіть широку громадськість. Свідчення — це недосконалий\, але наскільки можливо хороший баланс між індивідуальним і суспільним\, локальним і універсальним\, приватним і публічним. Очевидна здатність Свідчення «поєднувати»\, або створювати зв’язок між приватним і публічним світом\, разом з його значущою обіцянкою викуплення\, надала йому унікальної терапевтичної та соціальної сили. Ми розглянемо уроки зі свідчень людей\, які пережили війну та політичне насильство у 20-му столітті\, в тому числі з Боснії та Герцоговини\, і те\, як вони можуть вплинути на надання та отримання свідчень за участю тих\, хто пережив війну в Україні.\nПро спікера\nСтівен Вайн\, доктор медичних наук\, є професором психіатрії в Медичному коледжі Іллінойського університету в Чикаго\, де він також є директором з глобальної медицини та директором Центру глобального здоров’я. Протягом 30 років він проводить дослідження з біженцями та мігрантами як в США\, так і в постконфліктних країнах\, зосереджуючись на фізичному і психічному здоров’ї та запобіганні насильству. Результатом цієї роботи стало понад 130 публікацій і три книги: When History is a Nightmare: Lives and Memories of Ethnic Cleansing in Bosnia-Herzegovina (1999); Testimony and Catastrophe: Narrating the Traumas of Political Violence (2006)\, and;  Best Minds: How Allen Ginsberg Made Revolutionary Poetry from Madness (2023).

SUMMARY:ELIZABETH ANN DANTO\, PhD  and DANIEL JOSÉ GAZTAMBIDE\, PsyD with DISCUSSANT: PASCAL SAUVAYRE\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:DISTURBING THE SLEEP OF THE WORLD: PSYCHOANALYSIS\, SOCIAL AWAKENING & RADICAL POLITICS\nThe Colloquium Series 2023-2024\, presented by the Psychoanalytic Society of the William Alanson White Institute\nThe Fundamental Radicalism of  Psychoanalysis from Freud to Fanon\nELIZABETH ANN DANTO\, PhD \nand DANIEL JOSÉ GAZTAMBIDE\, PsyD\nDISCUSSANT: PASCAL SAUVAYRE\, PhD\n\nAbout Dr. Danto’s Presentation: Class\, Conscious and Unconscious\n“In your private political opinions you might be a Bolshevist\,” Ernest Jones wrote to Sigmund Freud in 1926\, “but you would not help the spread of Y to announce it.” Freud’s modernist views on social justice and the right to mental health care had triggered Jones’s discomfort. Today\, despite ample evidence that the free psychoanalytic clinics of Europe in the 1920s and 30s did enact Freud’s views\, Jones’ concerns continue to underlie the cultural tenacity of his class-based narrative.\n  \nAbout Dr. Gaztambide’s Presentation: Racial Capitalism as Psychoanalysis’ Unconscious Underside: Clinical Lessons from Freud\, Du Bois\, and Fanon\nCedric Robinson coined the term “racial capitalism” to underscore the racial underpinnings of capitalism today\, drawing on the insights of the Black Radical Tradition before and after W.E.B. Du Bois’ groundbreaking work. Little known is Du Bois’ engagement with psychoanalysis\, and how his and Freud’s theorizing on race and class present an undertheorized parallelism on how the unconscious is formed within social location. This presentation will draw on the “missed encounter” between psychoanalysis and the Black Radical Tradition encapsulated in Frantz Fanon’s work\, revealing to us not only a theory of race and class\, but its application in contemporary clinical practice.\n  \nABOUT ELIZABETH ANN DANTO\, PhD\nElizabeth Ann Danto is professor emeritus\, Hunter College of the City University of New York. Dr. Danto is a writer and international lecturer on the history of psychoanalysis as a marker of urban culture. Her book Freud’s Free Clinics – Psychoanalysis & Social Justice\, 1918-1938 (Columbia University Press)\, won the Gradiva Award and the Goethe Prize. Other books include Historical Research (Oxford University Press) and the co-edited Freud/Tiffany – Anna Freud\, Dorothy Tiffany Burlingham and the ‘Best Possible School'” (Routledge – History of Psychoanalysis series).\nABOUT DANIEL GAZTAMBIDE\, PsyD\nDaniel José Gaztambide\, PsyD\, is assistant professor of clinical practice in the Department of Psychology at the New School for Social Research\, where he also directs the Frantz Fanon Lab for Intersectional Psychology. He is the author of the book A People’s History of Psychoanalysis: From Freud to Liberation Psychology. Dr. Gaztambide is in analytic training at the NYU Post-Doctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis\, and is a member of the Puerto Rican Poetry Troupe\, the Titere Poets.\nABOUT PASCAL SAUVAYRE\, PhD\nPascal Sauvayre is faculty and training analyst at the William Alanson White Institute. He studies\, teaches\, and writes at the intersection of psychoanalysis and philosophy. A recent project includes editing\, with Roger Frie\, the book entitled ‘Culture\, Politics\, and Race in the Making of Interpersonal Psychoanalysis’\, published at Routledge.  He has a private practice in New York City.

SUMMARY:Sam Guzzardi\, LCSW  - LGBTQ Study Group
DESCRIPTION:For many of us\, an empathic stance towards our patients forms the foundation of how we practice.  This paper problematizes the typical psychoanalytic conceptualization of empathy as requiring the analyst to find something in themselves that resonates with the patient’s experience. Self-reference\, it is argued\, is both a limiting and potentially colonizing stance towards the patient’s otherness. Leaning on learnings from queer theory\, Black studies\, French philosophy\, and the Black American theater\, this paper argues for a revised empathy anchored in the concept of passibility rather than self-reference. \nSam Guzzardi\, LCSW is a member and graduate of the Institute for Psychoanalytic Study of Subjectivity in New York and a faculty member at the National Institute for the Psychotherapies.  He has a diverse practice where he is curious about questions of queerness\, identity\, development\, and trauma\, and has recently published papers in the Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association and Psychoanalytic Dialogues.  His 2022 publication “The Only Fag Around: Twinship in Gay Childhood\,” which details his attempt to integrate Kohutian and Freudian principles in the treatment of a gay man\, was the winner of the Ralph E Roughton Paper Award.  Sam’s scholarship often revolves around his interest in comparative psychoanalysis and in placing psychoanalytic theory in dialogue with ideas from other traditions\, including disciplines such as queer theory\, post-colonial studies\, performance studies and literature. \n  \nFor inquiries regarding the LGBTQ Study Group please contact  \nEsin Egit\, PhD: e.egit@wawhite.org \nWilla France: poetadmiral@earthlink.net
