SUMMARY:LGBTQ Study Group w/ Sam Guzzardi\, LCSW
DESCRIPTION:  \nToward a Horizon of Potential:\nLonging\, Phobia\, and Queerness in Psychoanalysis and Beyond\nwith Sam Guzzardi\, LCSW \n  \nWednesday\, November 5 2025 \n8:30 – 10:00 PM (EST) \nDescription: In this presentation Sam Guzzardi will share an abridged version of his paper “Toward a Horizon of Potential: Longing\, Phobia\, and Queerness in Psychoanalysis and Beyond\,” which was awarded the Tiresias Prize of the International Psychoanalytical Association.  The paper takes a close look at a brief encounter with a prospective patient who insists on knowing whether the prospective analyst is a “biological gay man” despite being told the analyst identifies as a “queer person.”  It wonders about how the notion of queerness may elicit forms of regulatory anxiety and regulatory violence. Borrowing from the work of Jill Gentile\, the feminine and the vaginal are taken up as organizing/disorganizing paradigms in both methodology and content; the paper also interrogates the rhetorical move of deploying the logics of biology in the prospective patient’s inquiry.  Ultimately\, the author leans on the notion of queer potentiality developed by José Esteban Muñoz to dream forward another\, more generative version of the interaction. \n\nSam Guzzardi\, LCSW is a New York City-based psychoanalyst trained at the Institute for the Psychoanalytic Study of Subjectivity\, IPSS.  His written work on gender and sexuality in psychoanalysis has won numerous awards\, including the Ralph Roughton Award of the American Psychoanalytic Association and\, most recently\, the 2025 Tiresias Award of the International Psychoanalytic Association.  He is on the faculty of the National Institute of the Psychotherapies (NIP) and IPSS\, and is an Associate Editor at Psychoanalysis\, Self\, and Context and at Psychoanalytic Inquiry.  His clinical work focuses on questions of gender\, trauma\, development\, sexuality\, and loss. \n  \nPlease note: \n*Attendance is free\, but registration is required. \n**LGBTQ Study Group meetings are held on Zoom and they are not recorded. \n\nFor inquiries regarding The LGBTQ Study Group please contact \nEsin Egit\, PhD\, LP at e.egit@wawhite.org

SUMMARY:Alice Jones\, MD\, Cadence of Vanishing
DESCRIPTION:The Artist Study Group of The Psychotherapy Service for People in the Arts\nPRESENTS\nCadence of Vanishing\nwith ALICE JONES\, MD\nThursday\, November 6\, 2025\n 1:30-3pm/Eastern\n\n\n\n\n\nAttend in person or online as follows:\nIn person at the Institute\, 20 West 74th Street\, between CPW & Columbus Avenues\nOnline via Zoom at:\n\n\nhttps://wawhite.zoom.us/j/8180152948?pwd=cDkrUTlMSndQendyZzhnc054c0tpQT09 \n\n\nPlease be sure to RSVP to attend: fvdillon@gmail.com\n\n\nABOUT THIS PRESENTATION\nPsychoanalyst and poet\, Dr. Alice Jones will read from her memoir\, Cadence of Vanishing\, weaving together love\, loss\, and the profound work of witnessing human trauma. With clinical precision and a poet’s heart\, Jones explores the delicate choreography between presence and absence that defines human connection.\nThe memoir follows Jones through four transformative years as she accompanies patients through their deepest wounds while navigating her own encounters with mortality. Jones captures the cadence of vanishing that marks every life — how we arrive\, love\, and leave. She reveals how deep listening becomes its own form of love\, and how even in loss\, we discover what endures.\n  \nABOUT THE SPEAKER\nAlice Jones is a physician\, psychoanalyst\, open water swimmer\, and the author of seven collections of poetry. Her work has appeared in numerous journals and anthologies including Ploughshares\, Kenyon Review\, Verse\, and Best American Poetry.  She has been awarded fellowships from Bread Loaf Writers Conference\, the NEA\, as well as other literary prizes.\nThomas Ogden\, author of What Alive Means: Psychoanalytic Explorations\, says about her:\n“Alice Jones’s Cadence of Vanishing is a meditative memoir in the form of diary entries in which many of the passages have the delicate feel of poetry. This is a penetrating exploration of the inner life of a poet through perceptive observations of the ordinary\, reminiscent of Lydia Davis. It is an experience to be savored”.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nPlease join us for this engaging presentation!\nFrances V.
