SUMMARY:CAROL GILLIGAN\, PhD\, NAOMI SNIDER\, LLM\, LP\, and YAEL HALLAK with Discussant MICHELLE STEPHENS\, PhD
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\nDissociation\, Double Consciousness\, and Doublethink: Where Freud Meets W.E.B. DuBois and George Orwell\nCAROL GILLIGAN\, PhD\nNAOMI SNIDER\, LLM\, LP\nYAEL HALLAK\nDISCUSSANT: MICHELLE STEPHENS\,  PhD\n  \nABOUT TODAY’S TALK \n“…the splitting of consciousness which is so striking in the well-known classical cases under the form of “double conscience” is present to a rudimentary degree in every hysteria\, and that a tendency to such a dissociation\, and with it the emergence of abnormal states of consciousness (which we shall bring together under the term “hypnoid”) is the basic phenomenon of this neurosis” (Freud) \n“It is a peculiar sensation\, this double-consciousness\, this sense of always looking at one’s self through the eyes of others\, of measuring one’s soul by the tape of a world that looks on in amused contempt and pity. One ever feels his two-ness\,—an American\, a Negro; two souls\, two thoughts\, two unreconciled strivings; two warring ideals in one dark body\, whose dogged strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder.” (DuBois) \n“Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously\, and accepting both of them.”  (Orwell) \nThree key thinkers of the 20th century — the respective fathers’ of psychoanalysis; pan-Africanism and modern dystopian fiction — writing across a five decade time span\, happen upon the same discovery: the splitting of the conscious mind so that one can simultaneously know and not know. For one it is a psychic defense\, the other a symptom of anti-black racism and the third an instrument of the state that is used to maintain confusion. The same phenomenon looked at from three different angles\, when taken as a whole allows a new picture to emerge: the traumatic splitting of the mind as central to the maintenance of oppressive political systems. Bringing together the writing of Freud\, DuBois and Orwell\, Gilligan and Snider will sketch out an understanding of the psychological and social forces that inhibit and foster political resistance. With this understanding in mind\, the psychoanalytic project of expanding and integrating awareness becomes not just a matter of clinical process\, but political progress. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES:\n1.     Attendees will be able to articulate the parallels between psychoanalytic theories of dissociation and Orwell’s concept of “Double think” and W.E.B. DuBois theory of “Double consciousness”\n2.     Attendees will integrate these concepts into a psycho-social theory of dissociation.\n\nABOUT CAROL GILLIGAN\, PhD\nCarol Gilligan is the author of In a Different Voice\, “the little book that started a revolution” and Why Does Patriarchy Persist? with Naomi Snider.

SUMMARY:LGBTQ Study Group - David Goldenberg\, M.D.
DESCRIPTION:“Homophobia: A Symptom”  \n  \nWednesday\, May 8\, 2024 \n8:30 – 10:00 PM (EST) \n  \nDescription: The authors’ thesis is that the pervasive prejudices that are homophobia and/or misogyny should alert us to significant underlying pathology in development\, specifically in the resolution of ordinary or expectable developmentally normative narcissistic and relational wounds and conflicts. All gender development involves trauma. Structured forms of hatred—homophobia\, transphobia\, misogyny\, and the like–signify defenses against unresolved conflicts arising from trauma. We focus on two aspects of homophobia: (1) fear of one’s drive-based aggression projected into and seen as threats from a homosexual person\, and (2) symptoms of unresolved developmental conflicts that encompass competitive strivings; a maladaptive defense against feelings associated with helplessness resulting from unmet developmental needs. These needs involve the ‘seeing and being seen’ dynamic\, mirroring and parental reflection\, necessary for the development of a coherent and flexibly stable sense of self and identity regarding gender\, sexual attraction\, aggression\, and competition. \nDavid Goldenberg: is a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst in private practice in Manhattan. He is a graduate of the New York Psychoanalytic Society and Institute where he is on faculty. He is also on faculty at Weill Cornell Medical College where he teaches in the Brain and Behavior course and\, also at Payne Whitney\, where he supervises Psychiatry residents in psychodynamic psychotherapy. At NYPSI he has taught various courses and served as Director in the Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Program and has held multiple administrative and educational positions\, including co-teaching Freud’s Case Studies in the analytic training program. As an ongoing Adolescent Psychoanalysis Candidate\, David co-teaches the Theoretical and Technical Aspects of Child Analysis in the tri-Institutional child and adolescent analytic training program; and is co-chair of the Committee on Racial Consciousness and the Diversities. He is a member of the Columbia University Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research where he teaches a segment on mid-20th century ego psychology. He has written several book reviews for the Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association; participated on panels on Psychoanalysis and the Digital Age; presented papers on digitally-mediated dating and intimacy. His latest publication is about homophobia and misogyny with a revision of psychodynamic theories of gender development. \nFor inquiries regarding The LGBTQ Study Group please contact co-chairs\, \n  \nEsin Egit: e.egit@wawhite.org \nWilla France: poetadmiral@earthlink.net
