SUMMARY:Diving Right In: Engaging Social Forces in the Consulting Room
DESCRIPTION:With \n\n\n\nSarah Hill\, LCSW & Priti Doshi\, JD\, LP \n\n\n\nSunday\, March 19\, 2023\, 1:00-3:30pm\, on Zoom \n\n\n\n3 CE credit hours for Social Workers and Licensed Psychoanalysts holding Licenses in New York State \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nProgram Description: \n\n\n\nAs psychoanalysts\, we are trained to tune into unfolding psychodynamics in the consulting room. But many of us feel ill equipped to make meaning out of the intersubjective mingling of our social locations with those of our patients.  \n\n\n\nHow does the analyst traverse the various similarities and differences of both the patient’s and the analyst’s social identities around race\, gender\, sexuality\, and socioeconomic class? \n\n\n\nSocial location\, or positionality\, has an enormous influence on shaping each analytic dyad’s clinical process\, and can lead to enactments generated not only by unconscious psychic forces\, but also conscious and unconscious social ones\, such as bi-directional racism\, sexism\, homophobia\, transphobia\, classism. These forces tilt power dynamics back and forth between the analyst and the patient.  \n\n\n\nIn this workshop\, we invite participants to bring awareness to their various social identities\, and to those of their patients\, and to consider how each dyad inevitably embodies dynamics along oscillating axes of social power\, while remaining cognizant of the inherent power differential between analyst and patient.  \n\n\n\nWe will consider the role of intersectionality\, and will pay special attention to trauma\, and associated affects such as fear\, rage\, and shame\, both expressed and dissociated.   \n\n\n\nToo often\, the social matrix of transference/countertransference is simply interpreted on the psychodynamic level\, but is not often enough recognized in its own right\, holding its own valuable source of meaning and process. \n\n\n\nThe more consciousness we develop around positionality\, the more we invite healing on both the psychic and social levels of experience\, creating a more expansive field. \n\n\n\nWe will provide clinical examples from our practices of working with our own social location and that of our patients\, with the hopes of inviting participants to bring increased curiosity to this dimension of their work.  \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives: \n\n\n\n\nParticipants will learn to identify and reflect upon their own social location/positionality in the consulting room.\n\n\n\n\n\nParticipants will learn to consider the impact of their positionality as it relates to power and privilege in the consulting room.\n\n\n\n\n\nParticipants will learn to better navigate the ways in which social location impacts the transference/countertransference matrix as well as the intersubjective field.   \n\n\n\n\n\nParticipants will learn to pay special attention to intersectionality in the analytic dyad\, and the impact of trauma when navigating social forces in the consulting room. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nPresenters: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSarah Hill\, LCSW is a psychoanalyst and craniosacral therapist in private practice in New York City. She is a supervisor\, faculty member\, and training analyst at National Institute for the Psychotherapies Training Institute (NIP TI)\, an adjunct professor at Union Theological Seminary\, and a board member at CESSA\, a center for mental health and spirituality in Port-au-Prince\, Haiti. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nPriti Doshi\, JD\, LP is a licensed psychoanalyst and an Attachment-Focused EMDR therapist trained by the Parnell Institute. She is on the faculty of The National Institute for the Psychotherapies and The Manhattan Institute for Psychoanalysis.  She works with individuals and couples in her private practice located in the West Village.

In 2020\, she ran a South Asian Women Therapy Group.  \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nModerator: \n\n\n\nRussell Merritt\, LCSW\, Faculty & Senior Supervisor\, \n\n\n\nPostgraduate Psychoanalytic Society and Institute \n\n\n\nA zoom link will be sent to registrants 1-2 days prior to the event. \n\n\n\nFor further information or questions please send an email to: \n\n\n\n       Russell Merritt\, LCSW: rgm3@columbia.edu \n\n\n\n       If you do not receive a timely email response\, please telephone: \n\n\n\n       Nobuko Meaders\, LCSW: 212-228-6988. \n\n\n\nThis program is approved for 3 CE Credit Hours. \n\n\n\nMPG Consulting is an approved provider of continuing education for Licensed Social Workers (#0119) and for Licensed Psychoanalysts (3P-0034).

SUMMARY:Repression vs. Dissociation  | Two different paths for psychopathology
DESCRIPTION:The Postgraduate Psychoanalytic Society and Institute\, Co-sponsoring with MPG Consulting NYC \nInvite you to our Sunday Dialogue Program: Repression vs. Dissociation | Two different paths for psychopathology\nClara Mucci\, PhD \nSunday\, March 27\, 2022\, 1:00-3:30pm (EDT)\, on Zoom \n3 CE credit hours for Social Workers and Licensed Psychoanalysts holding Licenses in New York State \nClick to download registration form>>\n\n\n\nProgram Description\nRecent research on trauma\, attachment and neuroscience point at a clear divide in psychopathology between disorders based on repression and psychopathologies structured on dissociative mechanisms\, a response to severe interpersonal trauma. In this presentation Dr. Clara Mucci will analyze and discuss the main differences between forms of psychopathology and symptoms as they relate to both repression and dissociation. Dr. Mucci will trace the difference between Freud’s initial theory of trauma in contrast to Ferenczi’s development of trauma theory in the direction of real interpersonal traumatization. The relationship of the trauma of human agency\, or interpersonal trauma (Complex PTSD) will be contrasted with the descriptions of PTSD intended in the DSM. \nClara Mucci (PhD\, 1999\, Emory University\, Atlanta\, in English Literature and Psychoanalysis; Doctorate in Anglistics\, Genoa University\, Italy; Degree in Clinical Psychology\, University of Chieti\, and Specialization in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy\, Milan\, SIPP) was a full professor of English Literature and Shakespearean Drama until 2012. She is a member of SIPP (Società italiana psicoterapia psicoanalitica)\, IARPP\, APA-Division39 (Psychoanalysis)\, and a Psychoanalyst in private practice in Milan\, Italy with training functions for SIPeP-SF (Società italiana psicoanalisi e psicoterapia-Sandor Ferenczi). \nShe is the author of various monographs on Shakespeare and psychoanalytic theory. Within the psychoanalytic field\, her major publications in English are Beyond Individual and Collective Trauma (Karnac\, 2013\, reprinted Routledge\, 2017)\, Borderline Bodies: Affect Regulation Therapy for Personality Disorders (Norton\, 2018)\, and\, forthcoming\, Resilience and Survival. Understanding and Healing Intergenerational Trauma. London\, Confer\, 2022. She is the co-editor\, with G. Craparo\, of Unrepressed Unconscious\, Implicit Memory and Clinical Work (Karnac\, 2017). \nShe was Visiting Scholar at the Comparative Literature and Society Program at Columbia University\, New York\, Fellow for six months of the Personality Disorders Institute at the Presbyterian Hospital\, White Plains and New York\, under the guidance of Dr. Otto Kernberg\, and Visiting Scholar at the New School\, Department of Psychology. She obtained certification for the Adult Attachment Interview (trainers Jukobvitz and Dazzi; University of California at Berkeley) and for Reflective Functioning (training with Howard Steele\, New School). She lectures extensively in Europe and in the US and is a teacher and supervisor in several training schools of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy in Italy\, England (Confer)\, and the US (NIP). \nLearning Objectives\nUpon completion\, attendees will be able to: \n\ntrace the historical and theoretical differences in psychoanalytic trauma theory as they relate to the theories of Freud and Ferenczi;\n understand and discuss the developmental and structural differences between repression and dissociation and their different connections to interpersonal trauma;\n see the differences in the treatment of non-intentional traumas\, such as natural catastrophes\, and trauma stemming from interpersonal violence and abuse—only trauma of human agency causes dissociation.\n\nA zoom link will be sent to registrants 1-2 days prior to the event. \nFor further information or questions please send an email to: \n           Russell Merritt\, LCSW: rgm3@columbia.edu \n           If you do not receive a timely email response\, telephone \n           Nobuko Meaders\, LCSW: 212-228-6988 \nThis program is approved for 3 CE Credit Hours. \nMPG Consulting is an approved provider of continuing education for Licensed Social Workers (#0119) and for Licensed Psychoanalysts (3P-0034).

SUMMARY:Who’s Splitting Who? Cultural change and the clinical management of aggression
DESCRIPTION: The Postgraduate Psychoanalytic Society and Institute Co-sponsoring with MPG Consulting NYC\n\nInvite you to our Sunday Dialogue Program\n\nWho’s Splitting Who? Cultural change and the clinical management of aggression\n\nwith David Anderegg\, PhD\nSunday\, February 20\, 2022\, 1:00-3:30pm\, on Zoom\n3 CE credit hours\n\n\nProgram Description\nClinicians of a certain age may feel\, at times\, like the cultural conditions that grounded our concepts of treatment have shifted under our feet. One such concept is the treatment of splitting: there is a traditional clinical dogma that split-off aggression is an indicator and a cause of personality pathology\, and\, therefore\, aggression needs to be addressed\, and survived\, in a two-person relationship in order for psychic growth to occur. But contemporary life does not support this activity. In many contemporary settings and institutions\, an older clinician might see split-off aggression being allowed or encouraged as people\, especially younger people\, have come to expect that they are entitled to feel “safe.” The current paper attempts to operate from a position of neutrality: maybe our young people are being encouraged in unhealthy splitting…or maybe our theories of personality pathology are outmoded. Or neither. Or both.\n\n\n\nSpeaker\nDavid Anderegg PhD did his pre-doctoral training at Boston’s Beth Israel Hospital and post-doctoral training at the Austen Riggs Center in Stockbridge\, MA. He has held faculty appointments at Harvard Medical School\, Tufts University\, and Smith College School of Social Work\, and recently retired after 22 years of teaching psychology at Bennington College. He maintains a private practice of psychodynamic psychotherapy of children and adults in Lenox\, MA.\, and teaches and supervises in the psychiatry residency program at Berkshire Medical Center in Pittsfield\, MA. He has served for many years on the editorial board of Psychoanalytic Psychology and has published on the topics of play and creativity in psychotherapy. He is also the author of two popular-press books on developmental psychology topics\, Worried All the Time and Nerds\, and has published on the op-ed pages of major metropolitan dailies including the Los Angeles Times and the New York Times.\n\nRussell Merritt (Moderator)\nRussell Merritt\, LCSW\, Faculty & Senior Supervisor\,\nPostgraduate Psychoanalytic Society and Institute\n\nLearning Objectives\nUpon completion\, attendees will be able to\n\nEvaluate traditional psychoanalytic theories of the role of splitting in personality pathology;\nDescribe and recognize institutional practices that may support or encourage splitting;\nEvaluate and/or revise traditional approaches to splitting in accordance with contemporary institutional life.\n\n\nClick here to download the fillable pdf>>\nA zoom link will be sent to registrants 1-2 days prior to the event.\nFor further information or questions please send an email to:\n\n      Russell Merritt\, LCSW: rgm3@columbia.edu\n      If you do not receive a timely email response\, telephone:\n      Nobuko Meaders\, LCSW: 212-228-6988\n\nThis program is approved for 3 CE Credit Hours\n\nMPG Consulting is an approved provider of continuing education for Licensed Social Workers (#0119) and for Licensed Psychoanalysts (3P-0034).

SUMMARY:The Creative Arts as Healing/ Healing as a Creative Art
DESCRIPTION:Sunday Dialogue Program \nThe Creative Arts as Healing/ Healing as a Creative Art \nwith \nPsychologist\, Charlotte Doyle\, PhD & Composer\, Chester Biscardi \nSunday\, January 16\, 2022\, 1:00-3:30pm\, on Zoom \n3 CE Credit hours \n\nProgram Description: How did celebrated works of art and breakthroughs in science come to be? What was the first inkling? What were the steps and missteps along the way? How was the process experienced by the creative person as it proceeded? These were the questions Charlotte Doyle asked as she explored the lived experience of making of specific works. She followed the clues from traces left behind: diaries\, notebooks\, sketches\, drafts\, letters\, and qualitative interviews. The research culminated in her recent book\, The Creative Process: Stories from the Arts and Sciences. Drawing on a narrative-phenomenological framework\, each chapter tells the story and notes the features of a creative episode as it unfolded.\n\nMany of the stories reveal the imprint of childhood. But can the process resolve personal issues even as the work has universal meaning? How do the features of the creative process contribute to this dual outcome? Chester Biscardi became a co-explorer into the nature of his creative process as Charlotte Doyle interviewed him and read diary entries made during the time he was composing his Piano Quintet. Charlotte and Chet will replicate some of this process in their live dialogue. Chet’s story shows remarkable similarity to that told by Virginia Woolf about the writing of To the Lighthouse—both stories of healing through creating a work of art.\n\nThe creative process is not limited to the arts and sciences. During the discussion period participants will have the opportunity to reflect on their experience of the creative process in psychoanalytic work. How do these experiences match or differ from what has been described? Are new concepts needed?\n  \nCharlotte L. Doyle\, PhD\, is a Professor of Psychology at Sarah Lawrence College. With Wilbert J. McKeachie\, she coauthored the text\, Psychology\, three further editions\, and a Spanish translation. Later she was the sole author of Explorations in Psychology. At the turn of the millennium\, she grappled with the problem of defining psychology by writing the definition entry for the American Psychological Association’s Encyclopedia of Psychology. Research articles include her work on the creative process in children\, fiction writers\, actors\, and teachers; theoretical articles have dealt with conceptualizing the creative domain\, the challenge of creative flow for cognitive psychology\, reasons why we enjoy “sad music\,” and the implications of creativity theory and research for education.  She is also the author of seven picture books for children. Her most recent book\, The Creative Process: Stories from the Arts and Sciences includes a chapter on the creation of two of Chester Biscardi’s compositions. \n  \nChester Biscardi’s music has been performed throughout Asia\, Europe\, and North and South America. His catalog includes At the Still Point\, for orchestra\, Sailors & Dreamers\, for voice and chamber ensemble\, Tight-Rope\, a chamber opera in nine uninterrupted scenes\, Trasumanar\, for twelve percussionists and piano\, and works for piano\, voice\, chorus\, and chamber ensembles\, as well as incidental music for theater\, dance\, and television. Recordings appear on the Albany\, Bridge\, CRI (New World Records)\, New Albion\, and Steinway & Sons labels\, among others\, including a Naxos American Classics release entitled Chester Biscardi: In Time’s Unfolding. Biscardi is a recipient of the Rome Prize\, a Guggenheim Fellowship\, an Academy Award in Music from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters\, and a commission from the Koussevitzky Music Foundation in the Library of Congress\, among numerous other awards and fellowships.
