We encounter it and are affected — sometimes soothed or shaken and often changed — and then often we are moved to try our hand.”\nMs. Schultz will highlight the three stages of her intimate practice of poetry\, photography and quilting:  encountering and absorbing the art of others; being moved to make art herself\, and sharing that work with others in some informal or professional way. Discussant Dr. Sarah Stemp\, will elaborate on the alchemical shift in art-making\, the experience of psychotherapy for the patient and the capacity of the analyst to create with the patient.\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKERS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLeslie Schultz\, (Northfield\, Minnesota: www.winonamedia.net)\, has published six collections of poetry. Her most recent is Geranium Lake: Poems on Art and Art-Making (Kelsay Books). Her poetry has appeared widely in such journals as Poet Lore\, Mezzo Cammin\, Midwest Quarterly\, Able Muse\, Naugatuck River Review\, North Dakota Quarterly\, Tipton Poetry Journal\, The Orchards Poetry Journal\, MockingHeart Review\, and Blue Unicorn.

SUMMARY:Dominique Scarfone\, MD\, The Sexual Drive for Power. The Passion for Ever More.
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\nDOMINIQUE SCARFONE\, MD\nTHE SEXUAL DRIVE FOR POWER. THE PASSION FOR EVER MORE.  \nwith Orshi Hunyady\, PhD\, Moderator\nFRIDAY\, APRIL 4th\, 7:30-9:30PM\nNOTE THAT THIS EVENT IS NOW BEING PRESENTED ONLINE ONLY. It will not be held in-person as originally announced.\nLinks for online entry will be sent out prior to the event.\n\n\nABOUT THIS PRESENTATION\nIn this paper\, the author explores what part is played by the human drives in the contemporary crises that assail humankind: global warming\, inequality\, racism\, rape and feminicide epidemics\, opioid crisis\, war and other forms of violence. Psychoanalysts usually refer to two classes of drives: erotic and aggressive. But in the face of the inextricable mixture of sex and violence\, one begins to wonder if we are not dealing with two sides of a single drive which we could call “a sexual drive for power” in which the sexual drive meets exacerbated narcissism. The Freudian roots of this sexual drive for power are explored and the notion is examined in relation with both individual and societal issues. The mechanism of allostasis is invoked as a possible central feature\, a link between the many aspects of the topics explored.\n1.5 CEs are available for attending this presentation. In order to receive yours\, you must follow instructions on the link & information letter sent to your registration email address prior to the event. \n  \nABOUT THE SPEAKER\nDominique Scarfone\, MD\, is the 2024 Sigourney Award recipient\, honorary professor at the Université de Montréal\, member emeritus of the Montreal Psychoanalytic Society (French branch of the Canadian Psychoanalytic Society\,) and honorary member of the Italian Psychoanalytic Society. He was an Associate Editor of the International Journal of Psychoanalysis for several years\, recently retired from practice\, and continues teaching\, writing\, and presenting.

His most recent book is The Reality of the Message.

Dr. Hunyady studies and writes about topics that highlight the link between psychoanalysis and social-societal phenomena. She has a full-time practice in New York City.
