In this presentation\, she will share slides and vignettes that demonstrate the experience of this state of estrangement\, reflecting upon the encounter between the subject and the other or Other;between analyst and patient and in the framework provided by the analytical situation. In her new book\, Art and Psychoanalysis:  Between the Dialectics of the Other and Poetic Estrangement (Routledge\, 2026)\, she considers how the metapsychology of aesthetic experience and its research contribute to a clinical understanding of processes of deficient symbolization.  \n\n\nABOUT OUR PRESENTER\nGabriela Goldstein\, PhD\, is a training analyst of the International Psychoanalytical Association and FEPAL. She is also the former president of the Argentine Psychoanalytic Association and currently serves as a Latin American member of the IPA Board (2025-2027).  Dr. Goldstein has authored several books and has received distinctions in psychoanalytic literature and the Arts.

SUMMARY:The Child & Adolescent​ Psychotherapy Training Program Open House
DESCRIPTION:The Child & Adolescent​ Psychotherapy Training Program\n\nIN PERSON OPEN HOUSE\n\nWednesday\, March 11th\, 2026 from 7:30-9:00pm\nAdolescence in the Manosphere: the Psychodynamic Treatment of an Isolated 16 Year Old Boy\nA CLINICAL CASE PRESENTATION by Stephanie Vanden Bos\, LCSW\nHeld at the Institute\, 20 West 74th Street (between Columbus Avenue & Central Park West)\n  \nABOUT THIS EVENT\nThe presentation will follow the treatment of an isolated adolescent boy struggling with intense affect and unmet relational needs as he works to consolidate a stable sense of identity. Struggling at the crossroads of a chaotic childhood and uncertain adulthood\, he is wrecked with anxiety and rage about his pervasive sense of invisibility and helplessness. He seeks advice in online communities that offer simplified\, prescriptive narratives about gender and power\, and which promise clarity\, status and a sense of dignity. The work we do together aims to support development of a more cohesive and enlivened sense of self — one that can tolerate ambivalence\, integrate anger\, and enhance his capacity for connection within the therapeutic relationship.\nJoin us for an insightful presentation given by a candidate in the Institute’s Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy Training Program. There will be opportunity to ask questions and join in discussion\, as well as to learn about our unique program and about the Institute. Light refreshments will be available.\n  \nABOUT THE PRESENTER\nStephanie Vanden Bos\, LCSW\, is a candidate in the Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy Training Program (CAPTP) at the William Alanson White Institute.  She completed psychoanalytic training at the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy (ICP) in 2007\, where she is now a training analyst and supervisor. She has also trained in several different trauma treatments including EMDR\, AEDP\, Sensorimotor Training and Somatic Experiencing. She has been in private practice in New York City for the past 25 years.\n  \n\n\nFOR QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CHILD & ADOLESCENT PROGRAM\, CONTACT MARA HEIMAN AT maraheiman18@gmail.com

SUMMARY:MARK FREEMAN on Self as Story: Narrative Knowing\, Narrative Unknowing\, and the Mystery of Selfhood
DESCRIPTION:IN DIALOGUE: PSYCHOANALYSIS AND THE HUMANITIES\nThe 2025-2026 Colloquium Series\npresented by the Psychoanalytic Society of the William Alanson White Institute\nSelf as Story: Narrative Knowing\, Narrative Unknowing\, and the Mystery of Selfhood\nMARK FREEMAN\, Emeritus Distinguished Professor of Ethics\, Society and Psychology\, College of the Holy Cross\nwith Hosts & Moderators\, Roger Frie\, PhD\, PsyD\, and Nancy Freeman-Carroll\, PsyD\, Co-Presidents of the Psychoanalytic Society\nFRIDAY\, MARCH 13th from 7:30-9:00pm/Eastern\nHeld in person at the Institute\, 20 West 74th Street\, New York City and via live stream online\n1.5 CEs are available for attending. In order to receive your credit for attending\, follow the instructions that are sent prior to the event.\n\nABOUT THIS PRESENTATION\nA core premise of this presentation is that narrative is central to the process of both self-understanding and self-formation: through looking backward over the past\, one may discern patterns\, connections\, and themes and craft a story — and a self\, accordingly.\nBut how does one tell such a story\, and what sort of story might it be? The challenge is large. Although there is much about the self that can be known\, there is also much that remains unknown\, and perhaps\, unknowable. Not the least is that our existence is permeated by what is other — first and foremost\, by other people\, but also by the larger social\, cultural\, and political world\, within which our lives take shape\, often in ways unbeknownst to us. This doesn’t mean that seeking self-understanding is futile. Rather\, it means that narrative knowing must be supplemented by narrative unknowing\, and in turn that science must be supplemented by art when engaging in the process. By proceeding in this way\, we may be better poised to both fathom and narrate the deepest sources of selfhood in all of their radiant obscurity.\n\n\nABOUT OUR SPEAKER\nMark Freeman\, PhD\, is Distinguished Professor of Ethics and Society Emeritus in the Department of Psychology at the College of the Holy Cross as well as Senior Fellow at the Center for Psychological Humanities and Ethics at Boston College. Award-winning author of numerous works\, including Rewriting the Self: History\, Memory\, Narrative (1993)\, Hindsight: The Promise and Peril of Looking Backward (2010)\, The Priority of the Other: Thinking and Living Beyond the Self (2014)\, Do I Look at You with Love? Reimagining the Story of Dementia (2021)\, and\, most recently\, Toward the Psychological Humanities: A Modest Manifesto for the Future of Psychology (2024)\, he also serves as Editor for the Oxford University Press series\, Explorations in Narrative Psychology.\n  \nABOUT THIS SERIES\nFrom its very beginnings\, psychoanalysis has existed at the intersection of science and the humanities. In the face of increasing pressures from evidence-based practice and medicalization\, what can psychoanalysis learn from the humanities? Collectively\, our speakers represent the leading edge in humanities and the arts and bring a diverse array of perspectives to bear. These talks promise to illustrate the manifest and often overlooked links between psychoanalysis and the humanities and provide a unique opportunity for interdisciplinary learning and dialogue.\nAll speakers will present their talks in person. We encourage everyone who can\, to attend in person and continue the tradition of meeting together at the Institute. For those who are unable to join in person\, we offer a real-time stream\, to reach beyond New York to a broader audience.\n\nThis series is presented at no charge to its audience. Please consider making a donation to The Psychoanalytic Society when registering.\n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \nOverall objectives of this colloquium series: \n\nDescribe the many interactions between the humanities and psychoanalysis.\nExplain how psychoanalytic practice can benefit from the insights of the humanities.\n\nLEARNING OBJECTIVES THIS PRESENTATION: \n\nDescribe the implications of narrative for psychoanalytic practice.\nDescribe the role of narrative in developing self-awareness.
