SUMMARY:Can the Body Psychotherapies Integrate with Psychoanalysis?
DESCRIPTION:THE 2024-2025 EMBODIMENT SERIES\nScott Baum\, PhD\, ABPP; Caron Harrang\, LICSW\, FIPA\, BCPsa; Lynne Jacobs\, PhD; David Levit\, PhD\, ABPP\, SEP\nwith Moderators Doris Brothers\, PhD and Jon Sletvold\, PsyD\nCAN THE BODY PSYCHOTHERAPIES INTEGRATE WITH PSYCHOANALYSIS?\nSATURDAY\, SEPTEMBER 14th\n12 Noon – 2:00PM/Eastern Time\n\nThis series is presented in collaboration with The Wilhelm Reich Center for the Study of Embodiment.\n2 CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDITS ARE AVAILABLE.

In today’s changing world\, efforts have been made to combine the best of both these disciplines. The members of this conversation panel offer different and exciting approaches to this subject.\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 $50\nCandidates and Students $30\n  \nTHE SPEAKERS\nScott Baum\, PhD\, ABPP\, is a clinical psychologist and bioenergetic therapist practicing in New York City.

SUMMARY:Patricia Gherovici\, PhD\, The And/Or of Gender – a Psychoanalytic Perspective
DESCRIPTION:The Colloquium Series of 2024-2025\nPsychoanalytic Synthesis and Innovation in Times of Upheaval\npresented by the Psychoanalytic Society of the William Alanson White Institute\nOPENING EVENT\nPATRICIA GHEROVICI\, PhD\nThe And/Or of Gender – a Psychoanalytic Perspective\nModerated by TOM HENNES\nFRIDAY EVENING\, SEPTEMBER 20th\, 7:30-9:30pm\nPresented in person\, on location at the Institute\n20 West 74th Street (between Central Park West & Columbus Avenue)\nSeating for this and all Colloquium events are on a first come\, first serve basis.\nDoors will open for this event at 7:00PM.\n\nABOUT THIS PRESENTATION\nIn 1928\, Virginia Woolf wrote Orlando\, a novel in which the protagonist changes sex in the middle of the story. A century later\, writer and activist Paul B. Preciado sends a filmed letter to Virginia Woolf in Orlando\, My Political Biography (2023). Following the premise that the body is not a fixed entity but entails a process of embodiment\, a becoming-body\, this lecture takes as point of departure Preciado’s recent docu-fiction to explore how those analysands who exist beyond the so-called traditional gender norms as well as those who consider themselves non-binary or outside heterosexuality are helping us rethink gender. Thinking gender outside of the either/or of traditional binary opposition\, one subverts the fixity of identitarian claims while reorienting psychoanalytic practice.\n1.5 CE Credits are offered for this presentation. Attendees must sign the attendance sheet at the event in order to qualify for CE credit.\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\nPatricia Gherovici\, PhD\, is a psychoanalyst\, analytic supervisor\, and recipient of the 2020 Sigourney Award for her clinical and scholarly work with Latinx and gender variant communities.​ She is a trustee at Pulsion: The International Institute of Psychoanalysis and Psychoanalytic Psychosomatics.\nHer single-authored books include The Puerto Rican Syndrome (Gradiva Award and Boyer Prize)\, Please Select Your Gender: From the Invention of Hysteria to the Democratizing of Transgenderism\, and Transgender Psychoanalysis: A Lacanian Perspective on Sexual Difference. She co-authored with Chris Christian Psychoanalysis in the Barrios: Race\, Class\, and the Unconscious (Gradiva Award and the American Board and Academy of Psychoanalysis Book Prize.) She edited with Manya Steinkoler Lacan On Madness: Madness Yes You Can’t\, as well as Lacan\, Psychoanalysis and Comedy\, and most recently\, Psychoanalysis\, Gender and Sexualities: From Feminism to Trans* (Gradiva Award for Best Edited Collection).\n  \nABOUT THE MODERATOR\nTom Hennes is one of the most sought after exhibition designers in the world. He is founder of Thinc Design\, an internationally recognized\, award-winning exhibition design firm that has presented dynamic visitor experiences at museums and cultural attractions in numerous settings around the globe.

SUMMARY:Resurrection: The Works of Heide Hatry and Francesca Schwartz
DESCRIPTION:PRESENTED BY THE ARTIST STUDY GROUP OF THE PSYCHOTHERAPY SERVICE FOR PEOPLE IN THE ARTS\nTHURSDAY\, OCTOBER 10th from 1:30-3:00PM\nRESURRECTION\nHeide Hatry and Francesca Schwartz\, Ph.D\nConceptual/Feminist Artists\n\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 be sure to RSVP to attend: fvdillon@gmail.com \n  \nABOUT THIS PRESENTATION\nVisual artists\, Heide Hatry and Francesca Schwartz derive their artistic center of gravity from a focus around the body and its embodiment of history\, memory\, containment\, and ultimate disappearance.  Though they work in different mediums\, (ash and bone\, etc.)\, there is a synergistic relationship and conversation between the two bodies of work.\nThe two are internationally known. For this Artist Study Group they will present a slide overview of their remarkable projects\, embracing a space between the body’s longing and loss\, memory and its erasure\, permanence\, and dissipation.\n  \nABOUT THE PRESENTERS\nHEIDE HATRY\nWith years of experience in the rare book trade\, Heide Hatry explores the mystery of bridging the flourishing of life in literature to the representation of the body’s decay created from the visceral ashes of her experience; from art object to art subject. Among her fundamental preoccupations are the effects of knowledge (and ignorance) upon perception.  Having been raised a Pietist in a Germany writhing under the onus of its ignominious past and on an industrialized pig-farm\, she is no stranger to the engagement with final things.\nFor additional information\, heidehatry.com\nFRANCESCA SCHWARTZ\nFrancesca Schwartz\, PhD\, merges psychoanalysis with her background in the performing and fine arts. She is informed by a fascination with the materiality and metaphor of the female body. Dr. Schwartz is on the faculty of IPTAR and has a private practice in New York where she specializes in treating emerging artists.\nTogether\,  their presentation and discussion will respond to the present wounds of the world in human ways:  awareness\, concern\, and involvement.  They will demonstrate the rigor and sensitivity of examining the relationship of memory\, of transformation. of reintegration\, and of art.  They use a range of unconventional artistic mediums in a desire to break entrenched social and gender identity roles.\nFor additional information\, francescaschwartz.com\n  \nFrances V. Dillon\, MSW and Eric Dammann\, PhD\, Co-Directors\,  Artist Study Group

SUMMARY:DEPTH THERAPY IN A QUICK-FIX WORLD WITH LINDA MICHAELS\, PsyD\, MBA
DESCRIPTION:The PsiAN Series: Advocating for Our Patients\, Our Practice and Ourselves\nLINDA MICHAELS\, PsyD\, MBA\nDEPTH THERAPY IN A QUICK-FIX WORLD\nwith Moderator Bevin Campbell\, PsyD\nFriday\, October 25th from 11am-12:30PM/Eastern\nAN ONLINE WEBINAR\n1.5 CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDITS ARE AVAILABLE. Instructions about how to obtain available CEs are sent out to registrants in the entry link email\, prior to the event. If you miss that letter (for late sign-ups)\, you should request CE instructions after the event.\nFor general CE Credit information\, click here\nNOTE TO ALL REGISTRANTS FOR ONLINE EVENTS: We send out entry links for Zoom events 1-3 days prior to the scheduled event date.

There are no refunds for paid events if a link was sent to you. \nNOTE: Confidentiality requirements prevent the recording of this presentation.\n\nCost: $30 per person\n\n\nABOUT THIS EVENT\nA presentation that will outline the forces and factors\, from within and without our field\, that are shaping the mental health landscape and contributing to the diminished understanding and appreciation of relational\, depth therapies. Misunderstandings among the public and policymakers about efficacy and “gold standard” treatments are common\, and new technology apps and companies are redefining what therapy is at scale. From the insurance industry\, to venture capital and private equity\, to the educational system training therapists and the fragmentation of our field\, there are many ways in which the work we do is threatened.\nThis presentation will outline factors that help therapists know what they can do to protect and advance their work. It will set the stage for the subsequent\, upcoming webinars in coming months.\n  \nABOUT THE PsiAN SERIES\nIn these last few years\, we have witnessed unprecedented upheaval in the areas of politics\, social justice\, the natural world\, and public health. Alongside these national and global challenges\, we are amid a mental health crisis with decreasing access to psychotherapy. It is vitally important in order for our practices and communities to thrive to be informed about how depth therapies can help\, what people are looking for in mental health treatment\, and how we can support and protect the work we do\, while making it more accessible to more people.\nPrevailing myths and misconceptions regarding mental health and psychotherapy that either clinicians or the public hold need to be challenged\, as they limit our capacity to help more people in more circumstances and often steer the public\, including marginalized communities\, towards a reduced set of options.\nMany of these areas are not addressed in undergraduate and graduate education\, and therapists often start practicing without a greater understanding and appreciation of these issues and the very real ways in which they can impact and impede our work.\nThis webinar series will help students and therapists at all career stages develop a greater understanding of the mental health landscape\, and how they can protect and advance the work they do.\nRead about the Psychotherapy Action Network (PsiAN) \n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\n \nLinda Michaels\, PsyD\, MBA\, is a psychologist with a private practice in Chicago. She is Chair and Co-Founder of the Psychotherapy Action Network (PsiAN)\, a grassroots nonprofit that advocates for therapies of depth\, insight and relationship. She is a Consulting Editor of Psychoanalytic Inquiry\, Clinical Associate Faculty at the Chicago Center for Psychoanalysis\, and a fellow of the Lauder Institute Global MBA program. She is author and co-editor of Advancing Psychotherapy for the Next Generation\, and has published\, presented\, and been interviewed by The New York Times\, The Wall Street Journal\, NPR and other national media on the value of psychotherapy\, the therapeutic relationship and technology\, and the public narrative about therapy. Linda has a former career in business\, with over 15 years’ experience consulting to organizations in the US and Latin America.\n  \nABOUT THE MODERATOR\nBevin Campbell\, PsyD\, is a New York and New Jersey licensed psychologist treating couples and individuals in her Brooklyn-based psychotherapy practice. Dr. Campbell has a postgraduate certificate in Couple Therapy from Adelphi University and is an advanced candidate at the William Alanson White Institute. She is a teaching and supervising faculty member of the Health Psychology and School/Clinical Psychology programs at Pace university. She is a longtime PsiAN member and is the creator and host of PsiAN Speaks Live\, a quarterly forum on issues impacting contemporary mental healthcare.\n  \n  \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES FOR THIS EVENT\n1)    Describe the impacts of new technology companies and venture capital investment entering the mental health field\n2)    Describe how stakeholders\, such as insurers\, policymakers\, and the mental health professions\, have influenced evidence-based treatments and public opinion on therapy

More specifically\, in juxtaposing Fromm’s words about life with Shakespeare’s similar expressions\, she suggests that some insights are for all time\, spanning eras and geography: they are human.\n\nABOUT OUR PRESENTER\nSandra Buechler\, PhD\, is a Training and Supervising Analyst at the William Alanson White Institute.  Her many books include Making a Difference in Patients’ Lives (2008)\, which won the Gradiva award;  Still Practicing: The Heartaches and Joy of a Clinical Career (2012); Understanding and Treating Patients in Clinical Psychoanalysis: Lessons from Literature (2015); and Psychoanalytic Approaches to Problems in Living\, (Routledge\, 2019).  Her most recent bookis Erich Fromm:  A Contemporary Introduction (Routledge\, 2025).\n\nJoin us for this special guest and her presentation and discussion of universal and timeless themes.\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\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\nFrances V.

SUMMARY:Joshua Durban\, FIPA\, Revisited: Home\, Homelessness\, and Nowhere-ness in Early Infancy - Part 1 of 2*
DESCRIPTION:The Colloquium Series of 2024-2025\nPsychoanalytic Synthesis and Innovation in Times of Upheaval\npresented by the Psychoanalytic Society of the William Alanson White Institute\nJOSHUA DURBAN\, FIPA\nREVISITED: HOME\, HOMELESSNESS\, AND NOWHERE-NESS IN EARLY INFANCY  (Part 1)\nwith Moderator Tammy Kaminer\, PhD\nWEDNESDAY\, DECEMBER 4th\, 8:00-10:00PM\n*This is Part 1 of a two part event\nSeating for this and all Colloquium events are on a first come\, first serve basis.\n\nABOUT THIS PRESENTATION\nThe construction of a sense of home in early infancy is a complex achievement. It is intertwined throughout life with the child’s pursuit of a safe physio-mental coverage. This process will be described as an interaction between: (a) a safe dwelling in the body-as-mother (constitution); (b) the internalization of the mother-as-me (internal object space); and (c) the establishment of Oedipal triangular space\, which is responsible for the capacity to move between narcissism-as-a-home and the world-as-a-home.\nThe construction of a home as an interplay between these two elements is accompanied by distinct anxieties and unconscious fantasies. Disruption in the early process due to deficit\, internal object relations\, or environmental factors\, might lead to severe withdrawal\, mindlessness\, hatred\, violence\, and murderousness. A distinction will be made between these mental states of being-at-home\, homelessness\, and nowhere-ness based on the corresponding levels of early developmental and typical anxieties.\nHome and homelessness are seen as more developed states of object relating accompanied by some capacity for depressive feelings of loss\, mourning\, and longing. Nowhere-ness\, however\, stems from early states of anxiety-of-being and osmotic/diffuse anxieties\, which are characterised by confusion between self and object\, by a lack of orientation and of a sense of agency\, as well as by nameless grief\, nameless dread\, and devastation. The varieties of home\, homelessness\, and nowhere-ness will be discussed along with clinical material from the analytic treatment of a refugee child on the autistic spectrum and of his father. The role of psychoanalysis and of the psychoanalyst in promoting the creation of an internal home will be described in reference to technique.\n1.5 CEs are available for attending this presentation. \n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\nJoshua Durban\, FIPA\, is training and supervising child and adult psychoanalyst at the Israeli Psychoanalytic Society and Institute in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv (IPA); and a research analyst and instructor at the Psychoanalytic Center of California (PCC) in Los Angeles. He is the founder and the clinical director of the Vista Autism Center (VAC) at the Vista Del Mar Child and Family Services (VDM) in Los Angeles\, which provides psychoanalytic treatment for infants\, toddlers\, adolescents and young adults on the autism spectrum and their families.

SUMMARY:REVERSOS with Dr. Ernesto Mujica
DESCRIPTION:PRESENTED BY THE ARTIST STUDY GROUP OF THE PSYCHOTHERAPY SERVICE FOR PEOPLE IN THE ARTS \nTHURSDAY\, December 5th\, 2024 from 1:30-3:00PM/Eastern\nREVERSOS\nWITH ERNESTO MUJICA\, PhD\n  \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 be sure to RSVP to attend: fvdillon@gmail.com\n  \nABOUT THIS PRESENTATION\nDr. Ernesto Mujica was inspired to share his experience following a visit in February 2024 to the Museo del Prado and seeing the exhibit\, “Reversos”.  According to him\, “There were two very unique aspects to this exhibit: one being that the curator is an artist himself – rather than an art historian – as would most typically be for an exhibit of this nature. The curator\, Miguel Angel Blanco\, noted that the museum had provided him with the “poetic license for subjectivity and imagination” to be an integral part of this project. The second unique feature was the focus on an exploration of the reverse side of paintings.”\nDr. Mujica was struck by the kindred spirit between the project of “Reversos” and our work as psychoanalysts\, a project entrenched in curiosity and fascination with the relationship between what is portrayed and what is hidden\, what is initially offered as ‘real’ and what has led to its creation\, its context and its history. Some of the topics to be discussed in his presentation concern the self-portrait of the artist as it is revealed by the back side of a painting and the ‘unseen’ as a field for experimentation and subjective expression.   Clinical vignettes will be discussed which highlight contrasts between how the therapist initially perceives and imagines the patient and what is consequently revealed.\n  \nABOUT THE SPEAKER\nErnesto Mujica\, PhD\, is Director of the Sexual Abuse Study Group and Service at WAWI\, 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 as sociocultural factors in mental health\, with his strong interest in the arts.  His previous talks within the WAWI Artists Study Group have included discussions of artists El Anatsui (Ghana & Nigeria)\, Kent Monkman (First Nations-Cree\, Canada)\, and Yayoi Kusama (Japan).\n  \nFrances V. Dillon\, MSW\, and Eric Dammann\, PhD\, are Co-Directors of the  Artist Study Group.

Dr. Tummala-Narra will delineate how these misperceptions contribute to racial disparities in access to appropriate mental health care. She will explore how the historical neglect of sociocultural issues in clinical theory shape contemporary notions of depth therapy and call attention to how psychodynamic concepts are critical for culturally informed interventions. She will present research and clinical case vignettes to illustrate how sociocultural oppression\, such as racism and xenophobia\, can be engaged in the therapeutic relationship.\n  \nABOUT THE PsiAN SERIES\nIn these last few years\, we have witnessed unprecedented upheaval in the areas of politics\, social justice\, the natural world\, and public health. Alongside these national and global challenges\, we are amid a mental health crisis with decreasing access to psychotherapy. It is vitally important in order for our practices and communities to thrive to be informed about how depth therapies can help\, what people are looking for in mental health treatment\, and how we can support and protect the work we do\, while making it more accessible to more people.\nPrevailing myths and misconceptions regarding mental health and psychotherapy that either clinicians or the public hold need to be challenged\, as they limit our capacity to help more people in more circumstances and often steer the public\, including marginalized communities\, towards a reduced set of options.\nMany of these areas are not addressed in undergraduate and graduate education\, and therapists often start practicing without a greater understanding and appreciation of these issues and the very real ways in which they can impact and impede our work.\nThis webinar series will help students and therapists at all career stages develop a greater understanding of the mental health landscape\, and how they can protect and advance the work they do.\nRead about the Psychotherapy Action Network (PsiAN) \n  \nABOUT THE SPEAKER\n \nUsha Tummala-Narra\, PhD\, is a Professor of Counseling\, Developmental\, and Educational Psychology at Boston College. Her research and scholarship focus on immigration\, trauma\, and culturally informed psychoanalytic psychotherapy. She is also a clinical psychologist in Independent Practice and works primarily with survivors of trauma from diverse sociocultural backgrounds.

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

SUMMARY:LGBTQ Study Group - LEXI KOREN
DESCRIPTION:LEXI KOREN \n\n\nThe Global Assault on Youth Gender-Affirming Care: \nHow Opponents Hijacked the Narrative \n\nWednesday\, December 11\, 2024 \n8:30 – 10:00 PM (EST) \n\nOn Zoom only\, RSVP below  \nhttps://wawi.wufoo.com/forms/s1v361i7149pvzz/ \n\n  \nDescription: Over the past five years there has been an unprecedented assault on gender-affirming care for youth across the United States\, Canada\,Western Europe\, and Australia. This talk focuses on the international network of “Gender critical” feminists\, anti-affirming doctors and psychologists\, and the Christian right which have successfully hijacked the narrative around these treatments. It also focuses on how mainstream media in the US and abroad have bought into these narratives and how their coverage has been used to restrict care for this population. \n  \nSpeaker: Lexi Koren has worked in electoral politics and advocacy for over 14 years. She began researching and writing about the assault on youth gender-affirming care in 2022 after seeing the flood of disinformation on the topic and lack of adequate response. She published one of the first articles in the US that interviewed trans people in Sweden and Finland to understand why their countries were restricting trans health care. She writes media criticism of youth gender-affirming care coverage for FAIR\, and her recent piece on the Cass Review was one of the outlet’s top 10 articles of the year. She presented at the US Professional Association for Transgender Health (USPATH) conference in 2023 on the spread of disinformation about adolescent gender affirming care. \n  \n\n\nPlease note: \n\n  \n\nRegistrants will receive the Zoom link to attend this meeting via email from \nThe William Alanson White Institute with subject line: \n“LGBTQ Study Group 2024-2025”. \nLGBTQ Study Group events are not recorded. \nWe are not able to provide CE credits at this time. \nFor inquiries regarding The LGBTQ Study Group please contact the chair\, \nWilla N.
