SUMMARY:Embodied Ecology:  Listening in the Space Between Us with Karen Hopenwasser\, MD
DESCRIPTION:PRESENTED BY THE ARTIST STUDY GROUP OF THE PSYCHOTHERAPY SERVICE FOR PEOPLE IN THE ARTS\nTHURSDAY\, FEBRUARY 1st\, 2024 from 1:30-3:00PM/Eastern\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 RSVP to attend: fvdillon@gmail.com \n  \nABOUT THIS PRESENTATION\nThrough the study of the philosophy of embodied cognition and the teachings of somatic therapies\, we can open the experience of dissociative self-states in our patients and in ourselves.  As a musician and psychiatrist\, Dr. Hopenwasser will describe her awakening to a new way of listening; transforming the passive knowing of information into the mindful awareness she names “dissociative attunement.”  Through clinical material and slides\, she will describe the multi-dimensional\, non-linear flow of information; both in present time and from generation to generation\, highlighting the rhythm of musical encounter.\nThis meeting will explore the complex world we live in\, filled with vibration and resonances we cannot hear but that can emerge through bi-directional rhythmic processes and oscillations in our bodies as resonating chambers.  Join us for a rich presentation and discussion of listening in the space between us.\n  \nABOUT THE SPEAKER\nKaren Hopenwasser\, MD\, graduated from SUNY Stony Brook School of Medicine and specializes in psychiatry.  She is a Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medical College.  Dr. Hopenwasser has written about trauma and dissociation in the psychotherapeutic process and intergenerational transmission of trauma.  Some of her work is published in The Rhythm of Resilience:  A deep ecology of entangled relationality\, J. Salberg and S. Grand (eds)\,  and The Wounds of History:  Repair and Resilience in the Transgenerational Transmission of Trauma\,  Routledge.\n\nFrances V.

SUMMARY:JANE HASSINGER\, LCSW\, DCSW and BILLIE PIVNICK\, PhD with Discussant George Bermudez\,  PhD
DESCRIPTION:DISTURBING THE WORLD: PSYCHOANALYSIS\, SOCIAL AWAKENING & RADICAL POLITICS\, the 2023-2023 Colloquium Series\nThe Colloquium Series 2023-2024 presented by the Psychoanalytic Society of the William Alanson White Institute\nThe 21st Century Psychoanalyst: Clinician\, Community Member\, and Relational Citizen\nJANE HASSINGER\, LCSW\, DCSW \nBILLIE PIVNICK\, PhD\nDISCUSSANT: GEORGE BERMUDEZ\,  PhD\n  \nABOUT TONIGHT’S PRESENTATION\nPsychological development and related mental health challenges unique to the 21st century call attention to the ways social\, cultural\, and political arrangements interlace with our psychic worlds and must become integral parts of our psychoanalytic endeavor (Cushman\, 2015; Butler\, 2022). Extending the pioneering work of WAWI’s Sullivan\, Fromm\, and Bromberg\, we recognize the developmental significance of our participation in community life.  We are each a part of an unconscious group matrix – dyad\, group\, family\, institution – which influences the organization of psychic life (Foulkes\, 1964; Tubert-Oklander\, 2014). These networks constitute self-states or ‘groups-in-the-mind’ (Shapiro\, 2020) and are significant though under theorized features of our internal worlds.\nWhat we have called “the community turn” in psychoanalysis acknowledges that public participation in community life\, for example\, as neighbors and as citizens\, constitutes an important aspect of adult development and contributes to the intersubjective experience of oneself as a generative citizen among citizens–what we have termed ‘relational citizenship’ (Hassinger & Pivnick\, 2022; Pivnick & Hassinger; 2023). Evolving from the experience of taking up roles in groups\, relational citizenship is an expression at both intrapsychic and interpersonal levels\, of maturing capacities for intersubjective perspective taking and group relations outside the family (Shapiro & Carr 1991\, 2017). This psychological work produces increased empathy for others\, self-authorization\, and the capacity for managing multiple group identifications necessary for mature participation as a citizen in community life.). These multiple group identifications complement the multiplicity of other internalized object relations (Bromberg 1998\, 2011).\nBroadening our framework to include the conscious and unconscious intersubjective field enables us to acknowledge and work within a dynamic\, dialectical view of the self-in-context in which group and community life become legitimate features of the therapeutic enterprise. Based on their work as founders of the Psychoanalytic Community Collaboratory\, the presenters will discuss their concept of ‘relational citizenship\,’ and how it links clinical and community practice.\n2 CE credits are available for this event.\nABOUT JANE HASSINGER\, LCSW\, DCSW\nJane Hassinger is a Community and Group Psychoanalyst in Ann Arbor\, Michigan who teaches at the Psychoanalytic Institute of Northern California and the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalyst.

SUMMARY:FRANCOISE DAVONE\, HEATHER FERGUSON\, STEVEN KNOBLAUCH\, HENRY MARKMAN
DESCRIPTION:Francoise Davoine\, PhD\,\nHeather Ferguson\, LCSW\,\nStephen Knoblauch\, PhD\,\nHenry Markman\, MD\nwith Moderators Doris Brothers\, PhD\, and Jon Sletvold\, PsyD\nHow Are Trauma and Dissociation Embodied?\nFebruary 24th\, 2024 from 12 Noon 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\nAlthough it is widely acknowledged that trauma and dissociation profoundly affect our bodies\, answers to questions about just how this happens vary greatly. A clinician’s understanding of the effects of trauma and dissociation on the body has important implications for the healing process.\nThis event brings together several clinicians who hold a variety of views on the subject. The four speakers will answer questions posed by our two Moderators\, who are also Co-Directors of the Wilhelm Reich Center for the Study of Embodiment. After engaging in dialogue together\, members of our 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\nFrançoise Davoine\, PhD\, has completed studies in classical literature.
