SUMMARY:New Directions: Can We Talk?
DESCRIPTION:Weekend Conference \nThis weekend will explore the obstacles that stand in our way when we try to talk together about difficult topics. When strong pent-up emotions rise to the surface\, whether anger\, fear\, grief\, anxiety or rage\, we easily get overheated\, defensive or shut down. We turn away\, defeated\, shamed or vengeful. At this moment in history\, it can often seem like we are losing ourselves and our ability to reach one another in meaningful ways\, caught in the current of unprocessed individual and global grief. Whether racism\, classism\, gender\, political leanings or moral positions\, we can often get mired in miscommunications and retreat to our own stances\, unheard and unhearing. This weekend we will focus our attention on opening up the difficult conversations. \nCoordinators:  Anne Adelman\, Ph.D. and Melanie Hatter \nAnne J.

SUMMARY:The Thomas and Julia Saltz  Annual Adult Seminar Workshop featuring Dr. Anton Hart
DESCRIPTION:The Thomas and Julia Saltz\nAnnual Adult Seminar Workshop  \nPresents\n\nSomething to Lose: Being in Dialogue About Difference When We Feel Like Leaving\n\nA special presentation by\nDr. Anton Hart\n\nWhen: February 1\, 2025\nTime: 9:00 am – 11: 30 am \nLive Presentation \nWhere: University Club of Washington DC\n1135 16th Street NW\, Washington\, DC 20036 \nThis event qualifies for required DEI credits for WBCP Faculty \n2.5 CME/CE \nRegistration Link: HERE \nProgram Flyer: HERE \nRegistration Deadline: January 29\, 2025 \nSeating is limited. We recommend registering early to guarantee your spot. \n\nPresentation:  \nRacial and other diversities-related enactments in psychoanalytic and other organizations that convene\, and train\, psychotherapists can be observed to occur regularly\, exposing schisms that are carried and caused by personal\, relational\, and social-structural elements. Our collective good intentions and “diversity trainings” fail to avert this. This experiential presentation proposes a framework for being in dialogue about differences when such dialogue becomes difficult\, and impasse seems inevitable. \nAlertness to emergent enactment\, and receptivity to the possibility of our unwitting\, unconscious participation in such enactment—called “radical openness” by the presenter—is seen as key to finding our way out of oblivious\, polarized\, and entrenched\, positions. \nA framework is offered for understanding the challenges and promises of addressing enactments involving race\, class\, culture\, sex\, gender\, and other forms of divisive difference. This will involve placing attention to security and self-esteem concerns (of self and other)\, and a corresponding need for openness to discovery of unconscious implication\, at its center. We will use compelling\, hypothetical vignettes derived from psychoanalytic institute life to explore the idea that setting out to lose what we already know could be a useful strategy for being in and tolerating the anxieties of “impossible” conversations.
