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.

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.

The full texts of his non-clinical publications are accessible on the latter website.\nABOUT ROGER FRIE\, PhD\, PsyD\nRoger Frie is 2023-2024 Visiting Scholar in Sociology at the CUNY Graduate Center in New York. He is a graduate and faculty member of the William Alanson White Institute\, Professor of Education at Simon Fraser University\, and Affiliate Professor of Psychiatry at University of British Columbia in Vancouver.

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.
