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: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: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: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.
