SUMMARY:Resilience:   What Does It Mean and Where Does It Come From?
DESCRIPTION:Fall Trimester\,2022   \nContinuing Education Course on Zoom \n15 CE Credit Hours   \nDates:   \n5 sessions\, 15 CE Credit Hours  \n5 Sundays : 12:00\, Noon — 2:30 PM   \nOctober\, 16th \, 23rd\, 30th\, November\, 6th\, 13th. \n  \n\nwith  \nClara Mucci\, PhD \n  \nCourse Description: \nA physical concept\, “resilience ” describes the ability of a material being stretched beyond its limits and then being able to return to the original state again. Applied to humans\, the mysterious  concept of resilience describes the ability of a person\, having overcome  severe difficulties thanks to unexpected inner resources. It defines the human ability to resist adversity and/or to respond\, without too much damage\, to trauma of various intensities\, both interpersonal trauma\, and trauma stemming from natural catastrophes or involuntary accidents\, which has different consequences (Mucci 2013\, 2018\, 2022).  Yet human beings differ in the responses to severe traumatic experiences.  Some people go through the most adverse experiences and are capable of struggling\, fighting back  and keeping hope and maintaining healthy attitudes and capacity to care for one’s own and other’s  life\,  while others suffer from extreme consequences\, to the point of becoming ill and losing the capacity to go back to previous health and personality qualities? \nWhere does the difference in the response lie? Are there exquisite biological features that explain the differences\, or is resilience based on a sort of mental strength that we need to better define and clarify? Is resilience  innate or acquired?  And if so\, how and why? \nIn examining these  questions in this intensive five weeks  course\, Dr.  Clara Mucci defines the biological features that create a better resilience to trauma and  explores where the vulnerability to traumatic response  may come from. In addition\, we will analyse which biosocial conditions  contribute to and determine the likelihood for optimal response and  restoration of health\, and which relational and socio-cultural elements create post-traumatic effects in both individuals and collectivities. \nFinally\, the course will give hints as to how to implement and create better resilience in individuals and families  and how to reduce post-traumatic effects\, through therapy and other community interventions. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nTo understand and evaluate levels of traumatizations in individuals\, for clinical purposes.\nLearn how to recognise patterns of long term trauma including intergenerational ones and modalities of psychological transmission\nLearn how to enhance resilience capacity in traumatised individuals and groups \, and  learn how to intervene in the treatment.\n\n  \nCourse Outline: \nLecture 1. October 16 th\, 2022.  Time : 12:00 \, Noon –2.30PM \nIn this first lecture\, we will investigate the biological reasons for better or worse response to traumatization. How is resilience created neurobiologically? Is the response of the HPA axis\, the neurobiological stress system\, innate? And if not so\, when and how is it created? We will consider trauma at any developmental level\, starting in utero.first investigations of what trauma means will be necessary: what does DSM-5 define as trauma and what does PTSD means?  Is PTSD the only way we can define the neurobiological and mental response to traumatic stress or do we need to consider different definitions? We will contrast PTSD with Complex PTSD as in PDM-2 and in ICD-11 and see differences and applications to case histories and treatment. How to create secure attachment and affect regulation in the subject. \n  \nLecture 2. October 23 th\, 2022. Time :12-:00\, Noon — 2:30pm \nDifferences about symptoms and consequences of different traumatizations: trauma of human agency versus trauma due to natural catastrophes. Three levels of trauma of human agency. Dissociative symptoms and structures as signs of trauma of human agency. Responses to this kind of trauma: symptoms and distorted patterns in evaluating reality. How affect dysregulations is created in individuals and how to enhance the capacity for better regulation and to limit symptomatology. \n  \nLecture 3. October 30\, 2022. Time 12:00\, Noon – – 2.30 pm \nSecure insecure and disorganized attachment; post traumatic effects in the long term. Cumulative traumatizations and the treatment of trauma of human agency. PTSD and Complex PTSD. \nHow to distinguish and diagnose levels of traumatizations even intergenerationally. \n  \nLecture 4. November 6\, time 12\, Noon – – 2.30 PM \nTransmission of trauma through generations. Studies on three generations of post-traumatic disorders. The dynamics of transmissions and the neurobiology of transmission. Resilience as an acquired capacity due to early experience and lack of intergenerationally transmitted vulnerabilities. ACE research and reflections on resilient bodies and ways to fight physical illness not only psychologically transmitted illness. \n  \nLecture 5. November 1 th\, 2022: Time 12:00\, Noon —2.30PM \nPsychosomatic illnesses of traumatic origins. Neurobiological and psychodynamic research. What does it mean to survive trauma and to thrive after it; resilience and forgiveness or overcoming the negative identification with one’s tragic story. \n  \nAbout Presenter: \nClara Mucci\, PhD is a graduate of Emory University in English Literature and Psychoanalysis\,  and Genoa University\, Italy\, and University of Chieti\, Italy as well Specialization in Psychoanalytic  Psychotherapy\, (SIPP) in Milan\, Italy She was a full professor  in English  Literature and is the expert in Shakespere.  She is currently a professor \,teachingDynamic Psychology atUniversity of Bergamo\, Italy.

SUMMARY:Ferenczi's Confusion of Tongues Theory of Trauma:  A Relational/ Neurobiological Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Spring Trimester\, 2022 | Continuing Education Course on Zoom \nA 10 session Course\, 15 CE Credit Hours   \n5 Tuesdays: 5:45 PM — 7:00PM \, April 26th\, May 3rd\, 10th\, 17th\, 24th\, \n5 Sundays: 1:00 PM —2:15 PM May 29th\, June 5th\, 12th\, 19th\, 26th. \nFerenczi’s Confusion of Tongues Theory of Trauma: A Relational/ Neurobiological Perspective\nwith  Arnold Wm. Rachman\, PhD & Clara Mucci\, PhD \n\nCourse Description:  \nIn this 10-week course\, Arnold Wm. Rachman\, PhD and Clara Mucci\, PhD will introduce and examine \, Ferenczi’s Confusion of Tongue Theory\, which they consider to be an alternative to Freud’s  theory of the Oedipal Complex and that they regard to be the first major paradigm shift for psychoanalysis. They will present the historical development of Ferenczi’s ideas\, the first Relational approach to trauma disorder\, which is seen as originating from actual relational disturbances in family interactions\, as opposed to Freud’s biologically based stimulus of the Oedipal Complex. \nThey will also demonstrate applications of Ferenczi’s ideas to current clinical situations and consider traumatic development and its enactment from modern relational and neurobiological perspectives. They assert that Ferenczi’s early relational perspectives opened up what is now referred to as the two-person psychology orientation of trauma analysis. \nCourse Outline:  \n\nFerenczi’s Confusion of Tongues Paradigm: The Origin of Trauma Theory in Psychoanalysis.\nConfusion of Tongues Theory as a paradigm Shift for Psychoanalysis\nThe Trauma Analysis of Elizabeth Severn:” R.N.” in Ferenczi’s Clinical Diary (1988).\nA Contemporary Trauma Analysis: The Case of “W”\, an Outsider Artist.\nFerenczi’s Confusion of Tongue Theory and the Development of Relational Analysis.\nTraumatic Developments and Complex PTSD.\nThree levels of Trauma of Human Agency.\nTwo Paths to Psychopathology: Dissociation vs Repression.\nEnactments and right brain unconscious communication.\nTherapy with the Traumatized Patient: Trauma and Human Agency.\n\n Learning Objectives   \n\nUnderstand the origin and development of Sandor Ferenczi’s Confusion of Tongues Theory\, which opened a new relational paradigm in the psychoanalysis of trauma\, as opposed to Freud ‘s view of trauma as biologically driven\, unconscious stimuli.\nExpand the boundaries of psychoanalytic theory and treatment\, to include an integrated two person perspectives.\nTo be able to distinguish and evaluate in the psychodynamic diagnosis of the various levels of traumatization\, the consequences for mind and body from using the neurobiological perspective\, the concept of the internalization of the persecutor\, or the revictimizing dynamics of human harm at both the individual and collective level.\n\nAbout Presenters:  \nArnold Wm.

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 Foundations of  Psychoanalytic Discourse
DESCRIPTION:The Postgraduate Psychoanalytic Society & Institute\nwith MPG consulting\n\npresents: Winter Trimester\, 2022\n\nContinuing Education Course on Zoom\n\n10 sessions\, 15 CE Credit Hours\, Tuesdays 5:45PM — 7:00PM\, ( January\, 25th — March\,29th\, 2022)\n\n\nThe Foundations of Psychoanalytic Discourse\n\nwith\nElliot Adler\, PhD.\,ADPP\n  \n\n\nIn this 10 week course\, Dr Adler will attempt to present what he believes are the fundamental understandings\, beliefs and perspectives that uniquely define and organize a contemporary psychoanalytic approach to therapy. In attempting to synthesize his almost half-century of experience as a psychoanalytic clinician\, he will offer a vision of the therapeutic work that is as free of jargon and tendentious theoretical bias as possible.\n\nTraditional therapeutic concepts\, such as transference\, defense\, resistance\, counter-transference\, interpretation\, etc. will be considered from the way these abstract conceptualizations reflect observable events that arise and must be addressed in specific analytic contexts. A central theme that will be developed in this course will emphasize how all psychological meaning is embedded in unique contexts of experience that must first be discovered and described in communicable language in order to achieve enduring therapeutic effects.\n\nLearning Objectives:\n\nFor students to understand the specific elements of a psychoanalytic relationship that define a psychoanalytic treatment distinguished from other modes of psychotherapy.\nTo identify ways of confirming the relevance and appropriateness of our therapeutic interventions.\nTo provide students with a historical context within which to understand how contemporary psychoanalytic ways of approaching the work have emerged and evolved.\n\nAbout Presenter:\nDr. Elliot Adler\, PhD\,.ABPP is a Faculty member and Senior Supervisor and Training Analyst at the Postgraduate Psychoanalytic Society & Institute. He was its founding member in 1981 and was a past President in 1983 – 1985.

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.
