SUMMARY:Pathways to Change: Core Aspects of Psychoanalytic Theory & Technique
DESCRIPTION:Sunday Dialogue Program | Co-sponsoring with MPG Consulting NYC \n\n\n\nSunday\, May 31\, 2026\, 1:00-3:30 pm (EST)\, on Zoom \n\n\n\nwith Gene Guberman\, LP\, MA \n\n\n\n3 CE credit hours for Social Workers\, Mental Health Counselors\, Psychologists and Licensed Psychoanalysts holding licenses in New York State \n\n\n\nREGISTRATION CLOSED. Please contact us with any questions. \n\n\n\nPeople registered for this program will be sent the zoom link on Friday evening\, May 29. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis presentation will explore some of the core concepts of contemporary psychoanalytic theory and technique as they relate to the issue of therapeutic change. How does psychoanalytic psychotherapy work and why is it an effective treatment modality? What are the mechanisms\, processes\, and vehicles of change? Which factors are most effective in facilitating a truly therapeutic outcome? How do we understand the multi-varied factors that may put up barriers to growth? \n\n\n\nHow these questions are understood in the various paradigms of contemporary psychoanalysis will be considered. The role of the analyst’s psychology is spotlighted since their choice of theory and understanding of patient dynamics will affect what\, how and when they interpret\, intervene and conduct analytic sessions. The varied clinical approaches of contemporary psychoanalysis (ego psychology\, modern conflict theory\, object relations\, relational/intersubjective) will be highlighted and contrasted. Issues such as features of mind\, representations and qualia\, affect regulation\, transference/countertransference relationship patterns\, patient-analyst subjectivities and the clinical role of neuroscience will be explored.  \n\n\n\nCase vignettes will be used to illustrate theoretical and technical decisions. \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives: \n\n\n\n\nGain insight into how psychoanalytic therapy works and why it is effective.\n\n\n\nBetter understand the different ways therapeutic change is conceptualized in various contemporary psychoanalytic paradigms.\n\n\n\nExplain key differences among treatment approaches.\n\n\n\nUnderstand the reasons that hinder & prevent a patients’ change.\n\n\n\nGain insight into the role the analyst’s psychology plays in their choice of analytic theories and clinical approaches.\n\n\n\nExplain the importance of the impact of the brain & neuroscience matters on outcome of treatment.\n\n\n\n\nPresenter: \n\n\n\nGene Guberman\, LP\, MA\, NCPsyA is a faculty member\, and supervisor at the Postgraduate Psychoanalytic Society & Institute (PPSI)\, and The Institute for Expressive Analysis (IEA); a former director & faculty member of the New York Center for Psychoanalytic Training (NYCPT) where he graduated in 1990\, he has been affiliated\, taught and supervised at many training institutes and settings\, synthesizing modern conflict theories with relational approaches. Gene lectures on topics addressing the values of psychoanalytic clinical theories and techniques. He is a former editor of the Journal\, Issues in Psychoanalytic Psychology at Washington Square Institute. Gene was a former Board Trustee as Secretary\, National Association for the Advancement of Psychoanalysis (NAAP). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor further information or questions\, please send an email to: \n\n\n\nRussell Merritt\, LCSW: rgm3@columbia.edu \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMPG Consulting LCSW\, PLLC is recognized by the New York State Education Department’s State Board for Social Work #0119\, Mental Health Counselors #0044\, Creative Arts Therapists #0021\, Marriage and Family Therapists #0030\, Psychoanalysts #0034 and Psychologists #0283 as an approved provider of continuing education.

SUMMARY:Holding like a father: Rethinking the clinical imagination of men and children
DESCRIPTION:The Postgraduate Psychoanalytic Society and Institute \n\n\n\nCo-sponsoring with MPG Consulting NYC \n\n\n\nInvite you to our Sunday Dialogue Program \n\n\n\nHolding like a father: Rethinking the clinical imagination of men and children\n\n\n\n\n\nEzra Yurman-Whyde\, LCSW \n\n\n\nSunday\, October 25\, 2026\, 1:00-3:30 pm (EST)\, on Zoom \n\n\n\n3 CE credit hours for Social Workers\, Mental Health Counselors\, Psychologists and Licensed Psychoanalysts holding licenses in New York State \n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou will receive your Zoom link by early evening on October 23. Registration will close at 5:00 PM ET on October 24. \nThose who register after October 23 will receive the Zoom link with their registration confirmation. \n\n\n  \n\nThis presentation embarks with psychoanalytic understandings of gender and subjectivity to articulate something of what happens when ideas of masculinity and nurturing mix. We will examine long-held understandings of the paternal function and how the concept has informed understandings of fatherhood and caregiving as primarily operating in an Oedipal register—asserting authority\, serving as the “third” that breaks up the mother-child dyad\, and introducing the child to the world. Drawing on theorists including Winnicott\, Corbett\, Diamond\, and Benjamin\, I’ll show how those occupying paternal and paternal-adjacent roles are performing many pre-Oedipal\, “maternal” functions such as holding\, integration\, and containment. Together\, we will think about how these functions become enacted in what I’ve come to think of as a kind of paternal erotic intersubjective space. \nI will bring a clinical case vignette of my work with a Black\, mixed-race seven-year-old boy whose family sought a paternal figure after his white father’s departure from the home. I’ll illustrate how race\, gender\, and sexuality shaped the unconscious fantasies a family projected onto me while in search of a “good male role model\,” and how my own fantasies about race\, gender and sexuality at times fostered and hampered a child’s psychic integration. I’ll also attempt to describe the role physical touch played in this process of integration. The central clinical importance of this work\, as I see it\, is in illustrating how a clinician can use his mind and body to help a child integrate aspects of himself that are psychically\, familially and socially split. \n\n\n\nPresenter: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEzra Yurman-Whyde\, LCSW is in private practice in New York City. He works with children\, adolescents and adults. As a current clinical social work Ph.D. student at Smith College\, his research interests include gender and sexuality development\, masculinity and play. He has trained and practiced in settings including The LGBT Center\, the Brooklyn Hospital Center\, the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation\, Kings County Hospital and the William Alanson White Institute. Publications include “Choosing a frame: How Medusa tells the story of trauma and life after trauma” (2023). \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives: \n\n\n\nAfter attending this presentation\, participants will be able to: \n\n\n\n\nIdentify some of the social fantasies about gender\, race and sexuality as it applies to masculinity.\n\n\n\nBetter understand how varied fantasies and stereotypes about masculinity\, absent fathers\, gay boys or white saviors shape the paternal roles into which clinicians are unconsciously invited. \n\n\n\nReflect on how a clinician’s own fantasies about race\, gender and sexuality can foster or hamper a therapeutic process\n\n\n\nIllustrate how clinicians can use their multiplicity of selves to help a child integrate aspects of his selves that are socially and psychically fractured.\n\n____________________________ \n\n\n\nFor further information or questions\, please send an email to: \n\n\n\nRussell Merritt\, LCSW: rgm3@columbia.edu \n\n\n\nMPG Consulting LCSW\, PLLC is recognized by the New York State Education Department’s State Board for Social Work #0119\, Mental Health Counselors #0044\, Creative Arts Therapists #0021\, Marriage and Family Therapists #0030\, Psychoanalysts #0034 and Psychologists #0283 as an approved provider of continuing education.
