Artists in general\, and photographers in particular\,  enter a liminal state when they create. From this creative state of mind\, the photographer looks in from the outside and out from within\, in the creation of their images.  Psychoanalysts work similarly in a state in tune with their own thoughts and feelings while listening to their patients. During this session our photographers will share images of their work while discussing their perspective on liminality with our psychoanalysts. \n  \nSCHEDULE & DETAILS FOR SATURDAY & SUNDAY\nSATURDAY\, APRIL 1st\, 2023\nIntroduction: Jean Petrucelli\, Ph.D. \n9:00- 9:10am \n  \nKeynote: Adam Phillips \n9:15 – 10:30am \nPsychoanalysis for Beginners \n  \nCoffee Break 10:30-10:45am \n  \nPANEL I \n10:45-12:15pm \nTransitionality\, Illusion\, and Play: Invitations and Foreclosures \nModerator: Jill Gentile\, Ph.D. \nPanelists: Sarah Schoen\, Ph.D.\, Stephen Seligman\, DMH\, Don Troise\, LCSW \nPlay is increasingly understood as an essential aspect of human development and psychotherapeutic action. Cultures can be more or less supportive of this transitional area\, with its potentials for imaginative connection with ourselves\, in relationships with others\, as well as in the broader social surround. With that as a point of departure\, these papers will take up how people do or do not find their way into this realm—in psychoanalysis\, in the world outside the consulting room\, and in the ways these locations intersect. \n  \nLUNCH 12:15-1:00pm \n  \nPANEL II \n1:00-2:30pm \nEmbodied Liminality: Betwixt and Between as we cross Thresholds \nModerator: Anton Hart\, PhD\, FABP\, FIPA \nVelleda Ceccoli\, Ph.D.; Susie Orbach\, Ph.D.; Jean Petrucelli\, Ph.D.\, FABP\, CEDS-S \nIf we think of liminality as an ambiguous\, transitional space that constitutes a form of generative embodiment\, where power and powerlessness\, separateness and communion ebb and flow with possibility\, then perhaps we can begin to question what happens when such forms of embodiment are challenged? Is it possible to re-inscribe how we engage with one another on a “bodily level?” Are we then in a better place to challenge the body as the site of difference and embodiment acts as one of the constitutive forces that shapes subjectivities? As psychoanalysts\, we can play in the liminal\, co-creating opportunities to rehearse\, shape\, and deconstruct what is embodied and experienced. However\, what happens when this space is crushed by political realities that threaten to govern and define our bodies and re-construct us through a cultural and social lens that confines possibilities and choice? \n  \nBREAK: 2:30-2:45pm \n  \nPANEL III \n2:45-4:15pm \nQueering the Gaze: Identity\, Gender\, and Sexuality \nModerator: Cynthia Chalker\, LCSW \nPanelists: Kirsten Lenz\,Ph.D.; Adrienne Harris\, Ph.D.; Mx. Mar Kidvai Padilla\, MSEd\, LMSW \nWhat are the challenges to the perception and understanding within psychoanalysis of what may appear to be a complex swirl of sexualities and gender identities? Queer moves beyond the binary to create a fresh perspective. This panel will seek to “queer” the psychoanalytic lens by deconstructing and de-centering cis-heteropatriachial constructs of identity\, gender\, and sexuality. \n  \nBREAK 4:15-4:30pm \nPANEL IV \n4:30-6:00pm \nIs This Really Happening? \nStruggling to Stay Alive While Facing Illness\, Disappearance\, and Death \nModerator: Eugenio Duarte\, Ph.D. \nPanelists: Eugenio Duarte\, Ph.D.\, Ph.D.; Ruth Livingston\, Ph.D.; Anna DeForest\, MD \nDiscussant: Susan Kolod\, Ph.D. \nThis panel will focus on the emotional and psychological conflicts faced by individuals dealing with terminal or life-altering illness. These include living somewhere between aliveness and deadness\, between old and new forms of being\, between facing and denying heart-wrenching realities. Panelists will speak to the perspectives of the various players involved–patients\, caregivers\, and doctors. How can we foster resilience in such situations? What does it take to stay alive and present to the moment? To cherish rather than squander the remaining moments? These and other questions will be taken up. \n  \nSUNDAY\, APRIL 2nd 2023\nWelcome: Dr. Jean Petrucelli \nKeynote: Claudia Rankine \n9:00-10:15am \nThe Power In Powerlessness: Or\, How Do We Live\, Knowing the Limits That Exist in Our Ability to Negotiate Change? \n  \nCoffee Break 10:15-10:30am \n  \nPANEL I \n10:30-12:00pm \nBetween Promise and Devastation: Poetic Forms in Psychoanalysis and Human Experience \nModerator: Elizabeth Halsted\, Ph.D. \nPanelists: Sandra Buechler\, Ph.D.; Forrest Hamer\, Ph.D.; Anna Vitale\, LP; Cleonie White\, Ph.D. \nPoetry uses language\, as well as rhythm and prosody in order to create new and heightened experience. Poetic forms can initiate a loss of the illusion of consensual reality. There is the possibility of upending conventional cultural norms and messages. This creates space for new individual meaning as well as opportunities to share experience in a novel form. This panel explores how psychoanalysis attunes to poetic forms\, including metaphor\, within the dyad\, and explores how such forms invite the analysand into liminal spaces where the self can be discovered and transformed. \n  \nLUNCH: 12:00-1:00pm \n  \nPANEL II \n1:00-2:30pm \nThe Intersectionality of Race and Gender \nModerator: Max Belkin\, Ph.D. \nPanelists: Rhona Kaplan\, LCSW-R\, Hannah Pocock\, LCSW\, Michelle Stephens\, Ph.D.\, Usha Tummala-Narra\, Ph.D. \nBlack feminist theory examines the intersection between different forms of oppression. This panel will discuss the ways in which the intersectional approach to understanding the interplay between race and gender that is rooted in Black feminism can enrich the clinical practice of psychoanalysis\, somatically informed psychotherapy with trauma survivors\, and group psychotherapy. \n  \nBREAK 2:30-2:45pm \n  \nPANEL III \n2:45-4:15pm \nLiving in the Liminal Space\, an AAPI Experience \nModerator: Sophia Cai \nPanelists: Karen Chuck\, JD\, LCSW-R; Milan Patel\, MD; Arun Venugopal \nAsians in America exist in a middle state; “privileged” due to proximity to whiteness and the label of “model minority\,” while simultaneously construed as “foreign” and not fully American. Growing up as an AAPI person in America requires existing in the paradox of privilege and negation\, which has deep clinical implications. Clinical work with AAIP clients must be contextualized by the complex social and historical forces that shape their lived experience. \n  \nBREAK 4:15-4:30 \n  \nPANEL IV \n4:30-6:00pm \nTranscendental and the Uncanny: The Liminality of Death Itself \nCo-Moderators: Rande Brown\, LCSW and Naomi Snider\, LLM\, LP \nPanelists: Alexis Tomarken\, Ph.D\, Koshin Paley Ellison\, MFA\, LMSW\, DMIN\, Leanne Domash\, Ph.D. \nFreud’s materialistic understanding of death as the end of human consciousness (1915) continues to be treated as axiomatic within psychoanalytic theory and practice. From this perspective\, belief in an afterlife is reduced to magical thinking. In what ways does this orthodoxy foreclose deeper exploration with patients of the nature of being and non-being and the spaces in between? Contemporary psychoanalysis has become more open to the “extraordinary” and uncanny ways in which minds meet in defiance of traditional boundaries of space and time. Yet\, remarkably little has been said about how such experiences might shape our relationship to death and the deceased. Against this backdrop of silence and silencing\, panelists will explore expanded understandings of consciousness and their impact on psychoanalytic encounters with death\, loss\, and the vagaries of living. \n***** \nDownload the Program brochure for the conference\, here. \n  \nAbout CE/CME Credits for this conference \n2 CE or CME Credits are available for attending Friday evening\, alone.

SUMMARY:Secondary Dominance:  A Kaleidoscopic Visual Journey
DESCRIPTION:A film by Sarah Small and Wade McCullum\nThis presentation and discussion is a collaboration of The Artist Study Group for People in the Arts at WAWI and the Sexual Abuse Study Group & Service. \nCurrently in pre-release\, the new feature-length film concerns sexual trauma. The two study groups have planned the presentation and two discussions which will take place virtually on Zoom\, over two dates: \nThursday\, April 6\, 2023 from 1:30-3:00pm/Eastern and Thursday\, April 20th.\nYou must RSVP to receive the Private Preview screening film link. Email fvdillon@gmail.com\n  \nABOUT THE EVENTS \nSarah Small and Wade McCollum will discuss their feature film\, Secondary Dominance\, as a hybrid biographical expression/auto-fiction documentary/long-form music video that explores trauma’s cellular imprint from a place where art and science intersect.  In the film\, a neuroscientist invites an artist to speak at a medical conference on PTSD\, trauma\, and the brain. During her talk\, she reads a letter she wrote to her childhood sexual abuser\, igniting a dance-and-music-centric journey into her psychological landscape\, illustrating the nonlinearity of memory and transformation.  A central topic of this discussion will include the complexity of being an Artist-Survivor and the challenges of representing cognitive\, emotional and sensory experiences relating to trauma through the sound and visual artistic medium of film. \nStudy Group participants should view the film in advance of the April 6rh meeting.  Please RSVP the email address above to receive the Private-Workshop-Preview screening link to view the film. \nThe second discussion meeting for this film will be hosted by the Sexual Abuse Study Group and Service on Thursday\, April 20th.  During this meeting we will expand further on our discussion of sexual abuse trauma and its representation through the performance and sensory experiences evoked by this film. \n  \nABOUT THE FILMMAKERS\nSarah Small is a multidisciplinary artist\, musician\, performer\, filmmaker\, and photographer. She comes from a family of writers\, psychoanalysts\, a lutenist / composer mother\, and a pianist / composer father.  Small spent her childhood playing cello\, concocting gibberish languages\, dancing\, and performing in musicals written by her mother. She became enraptured by photography when she was 13 yo\, and in 2001 graduated from Rhode Island School of Design with a BA in photography.  Small’s Balkan vocal trio\, Black Sea Hotel has toured and taught throughout the US and Scandinavia.\nWade McCollum is a Broadway\, West End and TV actor\, filmmaker\, singer\, composer\, writer\, director\, inventor\, and is co-founder of Neural Positive\, a neuroscience tech company.  McCollum used the almost 2 year break in live performance (2019-2020) to pursue a graduate degree in neuroscience at the University of Pennsylvania. Be it in theater\, on screen\, in boardrooms\, classrooms\, or laboratories\, McCollum’s life breathes with the interplay of art and science.\nThis event has been arranged by Frances V. Dillon\, MSW\, and Eric Dammann\, PhD\, Artist Study Group Co-Directors. \n

SUMMARY:LGBTQ Study Group with S.J. Langer\, LCSW-R
DESCRIPTION:Everything is psychosomatic: Embodied learning\, communication\, and accommodation in psychoanalysis\nS.J. Langer\, LCSW-R\n  \nWed. April 12\, 2023 \n8:30 – 10:00 pm (EST) \nWe are never only a psyche – it is the psyche/soma that makes the subject.  Our minds and bodies are always learning\, constantly unfinished and continuously communicating within us.  Embodiment is how we process information.  Neuropsychoanalysis is beginning to provide us with a bridge between the concrete of neuroscience and the theories of psychoanalysis.  This talk will encircle concepts from Neuropsychoanalysis and embodiment literature and focus on how we harness them clinically in work with our trans\, nonbinary\, and gender diverse patients.  Clinical and theoretical considerations connected to gender exploration\, trans sex\, and trans phantoms will be explored as well as case examples. \nS.J. Langer is a writer and psychotherapist in New York City.  He is in private practice where he also provides clinical supervision and WPATH GEI SOC7 Certified Mentorship.  He is on faculty at School of Visual Arts in both the MPS Art Therapy and Humanities & Sciences departments. Along with psychotherapy\, his research lab studies embodiment and trans phantoms.  He is also part of the Faculty of Psychology for the Diploma in Psychotherapy and Mental Health in Sexual Diversity of Gender and Relationships at Universidad Diego Portales – Centre for Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy Studies (Centro de Estudios en Psicología Clínica y Psicoterapia – CEPPS) in Santiago\, Chile. One of his articles\, Trans Bodies and the Failure of Mirrors\, was the co-winner of the Symonds Prize from Studies in Gender and Sexuality. He is included in the edited volumes Sex\, Sexuality and Trans Identities and Intersectionality in the Arts Psychotherapy. His first book Theorizing Transgender Identity for Clinical Practice: A New Model for Understanding Gender was a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award in 2020. \n  \nFor inquiries regarding the LGBTQ Study Group please contact  \nEsin Egit\, PhD (Chair): e.egit@wawhite.org

SUMMARY:THE EMBODIED PSYCHOANALYST: FOCUSING WITHIN\, COLLOQUIUM SERIES 2022-2023
DESCRIPTION:The Memory of the Body: A Theoretical Justification of Corporal Interventions in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy\nSUSANA FERNANDEZ De La VEGA GONZALEZ\, PsyD\nDiscussant ERNESTO MUJICA\, PhD\nFriday\, April 14th from 12Noon-2:00PM/Eastern\nPart of the live streamed webinar series. All events are held in Eastern Standard or Daylight time.\n  \nABOUT THIS PROGRAM\nThere are many psychotherapeutic proposals that offer corporal interventions to deal with psychic suffering\, some of them lacking a solid theoretical foundation. On the other hand\, different authors accept the presence of archaic experiences that maintain their influence throughout life and are inaccessible to the word. When verbal intervention is insufficient\, it is necessary to reflect on the limits of therapeutic action: attention to somatic dialogue\, questioning of the touch taboo or the integration of body techniques that evoke sensory and primordial emotional experiences. The meaning of the body within the psychoanalysis field\, according to a range of authors such as Freud\, Reich\, Bion\, Winnicott\, Anzieu or relational psychoanalysis theorists\, will be reviewed in search of a conceptual foundation for body techniques.\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\nSusana Fernández de la Vega Gonzalez\, PsyD\, is a Clinical Psychologist who currently works in a Public Mental Health Day Hospital in Salamanca (Spain)\, performing group therapy\, individual psychotherapy and body techniques with patients with severe mental disorders. She has previously worked in Madrid\, Toledo\, Valladolid\, and Rome as a clinical psychologist\, with adult and child patients\, and in different resources of the public mental health network. She also worked in the care of those affected by the March 11 attacks in Madrid. She carries out teaching tasks at the Complejo Asistencial Universitario de Salamanca.\nOn the other hand\, she has worked with companies of experience theater or sensory theater such as Teatro de los Sentidos (Theater of the Senses) of Barcelona and Teatro en el Aire (Theater in the Air) of Madrid. She is currently developing her own theatrical project with La Estancia Doble\, and is a teacher in the Posgraduate of Lenguaje Sensorial y Poética del Juego of the Universidad de Girona.\nHer interests revolve around the relationship between psychotherapy and play\, the memory of the body and psychotherapy\, the application of bodily techniques in a therapeutic context and the bodily correlates of trauma.\nABOUT THE MODERATOR\nErnesto Mujica\, PhD\, is a supervisor of psychotherapy at the William Alanson White Institute\, where he is an associate editor of the Institute’s journal\, Contemporary Psychoanalysis. He is also a supervisor of psychotherapy at the Doctoral Programs in Clinical Psychology of Teachers College/Columbia University and at the City University of New York. In 2010\, Dr. Mujica was President of the Division of Psychoanalysis for the New York State Psychological Association and he has served on the Board of the Division of Psychoanalysis of the American Psychological Association.\nTo view the entire schedule for this year’s series\, click here
