SUMMARY:Cultural Competence Conference: Misogyny Then and Now: Implications for Psychoanalytic Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:Misogyny Then and Now: Implications for Psychoanalytic Perspectives \nPresented by\nSpecial Guest: Filmmaker Jennifer Reeves\,\nMargarita Cereijido\, PhD\, Paula Ellman\, PhD\, David Joseph\, MD\, Janice Lieberman\, PhD \n\nSaturday\, November 22\, 2025\n10:00 am – 1:00 pm (3 CME/CE)\nPresentation and Discussion via Zoom \n\n\nPresentation: \nNotions of the feminine and misogyny have changed significantly since the 1960s. These changes are reflected in how women perceive themselves and how they are understood and positioned in society.  \nIn this conference\, we discuss and compare the unconscious gender ideals and prejudices of the 1960s with those of today. We explore the evolution of the ethical treatment of women as well as developments in psychotherapy and psychoanalytic technique. \nOur discussion is framed by the classic documentary Approaches to Psychotherapy (1964) which has recently been reimagined in a new film\, The Gloria of My Imagination (2025)\, by the talented award-winning film-director Jennifer Reeves.  In her film\, Reeves explores the social context of Gloria’s life.  \nThe original film captured the work of three renowned figures—Carl Rogers\, Fritz Perls\, and Albert Ellis—in their sessions with Gloria\, a newly divorced patient. For decades\, it served as a cornerstone in the training of psychology students worldwide. \nAlong with Reeves’ reflections on her film through screening selected clips\, Margarita Cereijido\, Paula Ellman\, Janice Lieberman and David Joseph present and discuss changing perspectives on femininity\, misogyny\, and psychoanalytic theory and technique followed by engagement with the audience.  \nAttendees will have access to the complete film 2 weeks prior to the conference.  \nFLYER: HERE\nREGISTRATION LINK: HERE

SUMMARY:Observational Studies Program Conference: Exploring the Links: Moving from Observation to Transformative Interventions - Jeanne Magagna\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Observational Studies Program Conference\nExploring the Links: Moving from Observation to Transformative Interventions \n\nWe are excited to announce our upcoming conference with Jeanne Magagna\, PhD\,  Tavistock Centre-trained Child\, Adolescent and Adult Psychotherapist\nLondon\, UK \n \n\nSaturday\, November 1\, 2025\nGeorge Washington University Hospital Auditorium\n8:45 am – 4:45 pm ET\n6 CME/CE\nDr. Magagna’s work emphasizes the transformative power of observing babies\, a skill she has taught worldwide based on the Tavistock Clinic model. This approach has profound implications for enhancing our understanding of children and their families\, illustrating how early observation can deepen parents’ comprehension of their children. Her commitment to this method led to the development of a specialized nursery in Rome. She teaches and publishes internationally. Jeanne is the Joint Editor of various books including Intimate Transformations: Babies with their Families\, Psychotherapy with Families\, Being Present for  Your Nursery Age Child and The Silent Child: Communication without Words\, Creativity and Psychotic States and Contemporary Child Psychotherapy. She is also the author of The Psychotherapeutic Understanding of Children and Adolescents with Eating Difficulties.   \nHer most impactful work\, “The Silent Child: Communication Without Words\,” explores the challenges of treating 19 comatose non-verbal children in talking therapies. Magagna’s approach to psychotherapy is grounded in her early life experiences and the inspiration she drew from Esther Bick\, the originator of infant observation. Her journey from learning the craft under Bick’s tutelage to becoming a globally recognized educator and clinician underscores her passion and dedication to child mental health. \nClick here for a personal invitation from Dr. Magagna and learn more about the upcoming conference. \nRegistration Link: CLICK HERE\nProgram Flyer: CLICK HERE

SUMMARY:LGBTQ+ Post-Workshop Meeting for Students/Candidates with Sien Rivera\, MD and Justin Shubert\, PsyD\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Post-LGBTQ+ Workshop Discussion  \nWBCP PSP Students and Institute Candidates \nPlease join us as \nSien Rivera\, MD and Justin Shubert\, PsyD\, PhD present \nMonstrousness and Aliveness: Engaging Gender in Psychoanalysis \nSunday\, October 5 \n4:30-5:45pm Discussion \nVia Zoom \n1.25 CME/CE \nWBCP STUDENTS AND CANDIDATES ONLY\nPlease note: Registration for this event is separate from the public session. If you plan to attend both\, you must complete a registration for each event individually. \nRegistration Link: CLICK HERE\nProgram Flyer: CLICK HERE \nPresentation: WBCP students and candidates will meet with the presenters to discuss the workshop and clinical material. This discussion seeks to explore a range of engagements with gender in the psychoanalytic encounter. One portion of the workshop will explore how contemporary anti-trans legislation and cultural narratives of monstrosity distort the analytic space for trans and gender expansive patients\, threatening their capacity for playful work\, while highlighting how trans survival and creativity might persist in the face of annihilating projections. The other portion turns to aliveness: how loosening gender constraints in the consulting room allows for the exploration and re-avowal of certain\, gendered parts and ultimately can lead to a unique\, profound experience of feeling alive. Together\, these presentations underscore psychoanalysis as both refuge and crucible—where both monstrousness and aliveness might meet.\n\nPresenter: Sien Rivera\, MD\, is Assistant Program Director of the Prisma Health Midlands/University of South Carolina General Psychiatry residency program\, and Assistant Clinical Professor at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine in Columbia\, SC. They received their medical degree from SUNY Stony Brook School of Medicine and completed their general psychiatry residency and child adolescent psychiatry fellowship at Prisma Health Midlands/University of South Carolina.

SUMMARY:Book Talk: Black Film Through a Psychodynamic Lens - Katherine Marshall Woods\, PsyD
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nBlack Film Through a Psychodynamic Lens \nPresented by: Katherine Marshall Woods\,PsyD\nDiscussants: Sarah Hedlund\, PhD and Youyang Wang\, MA \nDate: September 20\, 2025 \nTime: 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm ET \nWhere: Via Zoom\nNo CME/CE \nRegistration Link: CLICK HERE \nRegister by September 17\, 2025\, at 4:30 pm \nDescription: \nBlack Film Through a Psychodynamic Lens delves into the nuanced character\ndevelopment and narrative themes within the struggles and successes presented in\nBlack films over the last five decades. \nIn this pioneering book\, Katherine Marshall Woods looks at Black cinema from a\npsychological and psychoanalytic perspective. Focusing on a decade at a time\, she\ncharts the development of representation and creative output from the 1980s to the\npresent day. She deftly moves from analyzing depictions of poverty and triumphs to\nhighlighting the importance of cinema in shaping cultural identity while considering\nracial prejudice and discrimination. Adopting theoretical viewpoints from Freud to bell\nhooks\, Marshall Woods examines the damaging effect on cultural psychology as a\nresult of stereotypical racial tropes\, and expertly demonstrates the healing that can be\nfound when one sees oneself represented in an honest light in popular art. \nFrom Do The Right Thing\, The Color Purple and Malcolm X to contemporary classics\nlike 12 Years a Slave\, Black Panther and American Fiction\, this book is an essential\nread for those interested in the intersection between Psychology\, Psychoanalysis\, Film\nTheory and African American cultural identity.

Stoute\, MD\, DFAPA\, DFAACAP\, FABP\, a child\, adolescent\, and adult psychiatrist and psychoanalyst\, leadership advisor and organizational consultant\, is an internationally recognized scholar\, educator\, and leader in the field of psychoanalysis. A Training and Supervising Analyst at Emory University Psychoanalytic Institute and a Child and Adolescent Supervising Analyst at The New York Psychoanalytic Institute\, Dr. Stoute is on the faculty of the Emory University and Morehouse Schools of Medicine and has taught in the Leadership Fellows Program of the Emory Goizueta Business School. A Distinguished Fellow of both the American Psychiatric Association and the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry\, she has received many awards in many areas. Dr. Stoute has developed\, moderated\, and presented over 150 panels and programs nationally and internationally. Her scholarly work\, featured in the archives of the Freud Museum in London\, has been translated into German\, Spanish\, and Portuguese. She has held multiple leadership positions\, including on the Executive Committee of the American Psychoanalytic Association and as a Co-Chair of The Holmes Commission on Racial Equality in American Psychoanalysis. Drawing on thirty years of experiences as an educator\, clinician\, consultant and executive coach and leadership advisor\, Dr. Stoute has collaborated with professionals at all stages of career and professional development in not-for-profit organizations\, academic medical centers\, universities\, mental health training programs\, community mental health\, boards of education\, business\, and the law. Her 2023 book\, co-edited with Michael Slevin is entitled The Trauma of Racism: Lessons from the Therapeutic Encounter. She maintains a full-time private practice of child\, adolescent and adult psychiatry\, psychotherapy\, psychoanalysis\, family therapy\, supervision\, organizational consultation\, and leadership advising in Atlanta\, GA. \nAbstract:  \nCultural and historical attitudes about race and gender shape our perceptions of ourselves. The psychodynamic process of “Othering” occurs when our cultural and historical identities organize our perceptions of whom we define as the in group (“us”) and the out-group (“them”). The need to see the world as “us” versus “them” undermines the advantages that pluralism brings. Understanding how othering enactments play out requires us to reflect on the question\, as Fanon did\, how does culture seep into our minds? What can psychoanalysis offer us in understanding these dynamics? When othering dominates and polarizing interactions occur between individuals and groups\, what does E pluribus unum\, “out of many one” mean? Can a shared group identity ever become a reality? Case examples will be used to illustrate how we can think together about these questions. \nRegister Here: CLICK HERE\nProgram Flyer: CLICK HERE

SUMMARY:COWAP: “Women\, The Longest Revolution”: Session 6: Women and Literature
DESCRIPTION:“Women’s Lives in Transition: Novelists Amy Bloom and Lisa Gornick in Conversation” \nDate: March 8\, 2025 \nTime: 11:00 am – 12:30 pm ET \n  \nRegistration Link: https://wbcp.memberclicks.net/registration_cowap_women_revolution_2024-2025 \nClick Here to View the Program Flyer \nRegistration Deadline: March 5\, 2025 \nDescription: The presentation “Women’s Lives in Transition: Novelists Amy Bloom and Lisa Gornick In Conversation” provides a unique opportunity for participants to gain insights from two authors who are also psychotherapists. Their conversation offers dynamically rich and complex perspectives on women’s lives across various developmental stages\, encompassing themes such as family dynamics\, love\, work\, and mental health. By exploring the intersection of literature and psychology through the lens of these authors’ works\, participants can deepen their understanding of women’s experiences over time and across the developmental spectrum\, including birth and death\, love and loss\, work and home\, and the complexity of women’s mental health concerns. \nAnne Adelman\, PhD\, will facilitate a conversation between authors/psychotherapists Amy Bloom (In Love: A Memoir of Love and Loss\, 2022; I’m Right Here\, forthcoming Summer 2025) and Lisa Gornick (Ana Turns\, 2023). As therapists and authors\, they each have unique\, dynamically rich and complex perspectives on women’s lives across the developmental spectrum\, navigating the pulls of family\, love\, work\, body and mind.

SUMMARY:COWAP: “Women\, The Longest Revolution”: Session 5: Material Body
DESCRIPTION:Session 5: The Female Body:  Passion and Peril \nParticipants: Rosemary H. Balsam\, MD\, Rachel Boué-Widawsky\, PhD\, Jeri Isaacson\, PhD\, Chair \nDate: February 22\, 2025 \nTime: 11:00 am – 12:30 pm ET \nRegistration Link: https://wbcp.memberclicks.net/registration_cowap_women_revolution_2024-2025 \nClick Here to View the Program Flyer \nRegistration Deadline: February 19\, 2025 \nDescription: Why do we pay so little attention to the role that the female natal body plays in the development of the psyche?  This contrasts with how the birthing body holds psychic meaning that resonates throughout society.  A graphic example is the fight for legal control over the female body in recent conflicts about abortion.  Yet the procreative body remains relatively unexplored in psychoanalytic literature.  In this discussion\, Drs. Rosemary Balsam and Rachel Boué-Widawsky will consider ways of thinking psychoanalytically about the female body.  Dr. Balsam will talk about the meaning of this absence in our field\, and its impact for our understanding of psychological development.   Dr. Boue-Widawsky will elaborate on this topic by discussing Julia Kristeva’s ideas about the maternal body as an object that is often experienced unconsciously – and consciously – with horror.   What might we add to our understanding of internal\, interpersonal\, and sociocultural dynamics if we were to more fully incorporate these ideas into the larger body of psychoanalytic thought?   We will consider societal dynamics that reflect internal psychic experience\, particularly in light of the burgeoning misogyny we face today. \n  \n  \n

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.

Power is considered in the context of key relationships\, such as supervisor-trainee and therapist-patient\, and how it influences interactions and behavior. It encompasses what humans are capable of—beyond the roles they take on or are assigned. \nThe program delves into how those in positions of authority engage with others\, whether through their roles or their mere presence in a shared space. It emphasizes that when power is exercised with the heart and mind aligned\, it has the potential to create fairness for others. This fairness allows for freedom of choice\, a capacity that is both innate and influenced by the presence or absence of power dynamics. \nAt its core\, the program defines power as the ability to exercise choice—whether in words or actions—without it becoming contingent on whether those in authority allow or restrict it. Through this exploration\, participants will gain insight into how power shapes relationships and decision-making in profound ways. \nI Put a Spell on You: \nDuring and post Covid\, internet scams have proliferated. This paper will 1) investigate the dynamics of need and greed that bind the isolated dyad in a scam 2) elaborate how two senses need to be \nactivated to make the scam possible 3) review decades of literature on scammers that confirm the requisite personal qualities of a successful scammer and 4) raise awareness about how under certain circumstances\, we humans can be exploited.

SUMMARY:COWAP: “Women\, The Longest Revolution”: Session 3: In Her Own Voice
DESCRIPTION:Session 3: In Her Own Voice: Challenging Theories of Women’s Development\n \nParticipants: Nancy Kulish and Catherine Mallouh \nDate: December 14\, 2024 \nTime: 11:00 am – 12:30 pm ET \nRegistration Link: https://wbcp.memberclicks.net/registration_cowap_women_revolution_2024-2025 \nClick Here to View the Program Flyer \nRegistration Deadline: December 11\, 2024 \nDescription: Notions of woman and the feminine have changed dramatically over the last decades and this is reflected in how women perceive themselves\, how they are perceived by society\, and how they are understood from a psychoanalytic perspective. This program will look at the ways in which Nancy Kulish has transformed and enriched psychoanalytic thinking about female development\, femininity and gender. With Deanna Holtzman\, she broke new ground in reformulating Freud’s notion of the feminine Oedipal and radically incorporating a feminist perspective on women’s sexuality and girl’s and women’s experiences\, a perspective which has deepened our understanding of the early relationship to the mother. She has also considered the female body and women’s conflicts around competition and envy. Her ideas have had implications for clinical work with women and the struggles they face both internally and in the society at large. Catherine Mallouh will be in conversation with Nancy about her the development of her ideas and how she views sexuality and gender and women’s development now.

SUMMARY:COWAP: “Women\, The Longest Revolution”: Session 2: Romance
DESCRIPTION:Session 2: What Ever Happened to Romance on the Revolutionary Road?\n \nParticipants: Janice Lieberman\, Chair\, Danielle Knafo\, Arlene Heyman\, and Isaac Tylim \nDate: October 26\, 2024 \nTime: 11:00 am – 12:30 pm ET \nRegistration Link: https://wbcp.memberclicks.net/registration_cowap_women_revolution_2024-2025 \nClick Here to View the Program Flyer \nRegistration Deadline: October 23\, 2024 \nDescription: It has been observed by many that there seems to be an absence of “romance” in courtship\, dating and marriage today\, whether the partners are straight or gay. Many feminists have written that romance creates more inequality between men and women. Juliet Mitchell\, in her book “Women: The Longest Revolution” writes that:” Romantic love seems to me to seek an ideal; if it attains its idealized object\, then it ceases to be romantic love”. It can turn to disillusionment or even hate. Comparisons will be made between notions of romance 50 years ago vs. today: changes in meeting and dating one another\, the use of technology to communicate:  dating apps\, texting\, sexting\, the social media will be discussed. Cultural norms (monogamy\, polyamory) and interpsychic patterns ( more fragile narcissism)  as well as the breakdown of the traditional gender binary (chronic fatigue of working parents) are part of the explanation. \n

As a result\, he ‘accidentally’ became involved in Community Psychology.   \nDr. Hall will also present a psychoanalytic view of trauma\, how trauma can derail a patient’s treatment and the impact of  trauma on the transference within a psychoanalytic psychotherapy or psychoanalysis. We recommend that attendees view the three part 2024 Netflix Documentary “The Program: Cons\, Cults and Kidnapping\,” which is available on Netflix worldwide in multiple languages. Dr Hall is one of several experts who were interviewed for this documentary on the “troubled teen”  industry and programs like the so called “therapeutic boarding schools” that Dr. Hall became aware of in the course of his  practice and was moved to go outside the consulting room to alert the community to this traumatic abuse of teenagers that he  will discuss.  \n Click image to view the full program flyer

In this presentation\, participants will hear the stories of two queer patients whose treatment was\, borrowing from Donna Orange\, informed “holding lightly” the theories of Jean Laplanche. Designed particularly for those who may be unfamiliar with Laplanche’s ideas or uncertain about their relevance to those interested in clinical practice\, this presentation will both explicate the fundamentals of Laplanchian theory while avoiding the notion of “applying” Laplanche to clinical work. Rather\, through conversation and the telling of clinical story\, participants will be invited to experience a Laplanchian sensibility in clinical work\, particularly as it relates to issues of queerness and LGBTQ+ experience.

SUMMARY:Raphling Memorial Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Racial Rage\, Racial Guilt: The Uses of Anger in Asian America \nPresenter: David Eng \nDate: October 6\, 2024 \nTime: 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm \nIn-Person Presentation \nPost Hall  \nGeorge Washington University Mt. Vernon \nRegistration Link: https://wbcp.memberclicks.net/reg_raphling_10-6-24\n \nProgram Flyer: HERE\n \nRegistration Deadline: October 2\, 2024 \nDescription: Asian Americans are conventionally described as “middle-man minorities\,” outside of dominant racial paradigms of white and black\, adjunct to white privilege and exempt from the brunt of systemic violence directed against Black people. Historical accounts of the in-betweenness of Asian Americans trace their origins to how Asian coolie labor has served to triangulate white capital and African slavery over the course of European modernity. If this is the material history of in-betweenness\, what is the psychic corollary of the middle-man thesis? Through an analysis of the Netflix dark comedy series Beef\, as well as case histories of Asian American patients and students\, I argue that the psychic effects of occupying a racially intermediate position implicate an unexplored terrain of racial rage and racial guilt that Asian Americans are insistently socialized to hold on behalf of others.

SUMMARY:Don Moss\, MD: Encountering Representations of Evil
DESCRIPTION:Don Moss\, MD Lecture: Encountering Representations of Evil  \nPresenter: Don Moss\, MD \nTime: 10:30 am – 12: 00 pm \nDate: May 18\, 2024 \n\n\n\nThis will be an in-person event. There will be no zoom option.\n\n\n\nProgram Description: Evil is grounded in an effort to correct the errors of Creation– to define\, categorize and eliminate what it designates as sources of threat and pain.  This logic of elimination distinguishes evil from sadism’s logic of excitement.  Stressing personal reactions and leaning on the work of Freud\, Primo Levi and Hannah Arendt\, the text takes up pertinent issues raised by Israel/Gaza and by the Institute for Peace and Justice (the “lynching museum”) in Montgomery\, Alabama. \nRegistration Link: https://wbcp.memberclicks.net/reg_don_moss_public_5-18-24

SUMMARY:OSP-Observational Studies Open House
DESCRIPTION:The Observational Studies Program Open House: Seeing the Unseen in Clinical Work\n \nLearn more about how our program sharpens clinical skills with any age group or population.\n10:00am – 12:00pm\nIn-Person Event\nLocation:\nThe Colonnade Condominium\n2801 New Mexico Ave NW\nWashington\, DC 20007\nLobby Floor Party Room\nStreet parking is available on Fulton Street\, Tunlaw Road and New Mexico Avenue\nRegistration Link: https://wbcp.memberclicks.net/registration-osp-open-house-2024-2025\nFor more information please contact:\nDeborah Blessing\, LICSW\, Co-Chair   deborahblessing1@gmail.com\nSilvana Kaufman\, LICSW\, Co-Chair   Kaufmansilvana@yahoo.com\n\n\nObservational Studies Program Description: \nObservation has proven to significantly enrich clinical work with any age group or population. This program is for anyone who is interested in understanding psychodynamic ideas\, the power of primitive anxieties\, and how our earliest experiences stay with us over our lifetime.\nSeeing the Unseen in Clinical Work is conducted by a multi-disciplinary faculty of child\, adult\, couple\, and family psychotherapists and psychoanalysts. The training follows the model of infant observation pioneered and developed by Esterh Bick at the Tavistock Clinic in London in 1948.\nOver two years\, students engage with essential concepts designed to enhance awareness and understanding of human development and interaction across cultures and ethnic groups. Through a rich mix of theoretical\, clinical\, and experiential learning\, students discover meaning in paying close attention to what is occurring in front of them and taking in as many details as possible\, which are essential parts of observational training.\nStudents come from different areas of interest and training and explore the applications of what they are learning to their own practice and work\, contributing to rich multidisciplinary exchange and understanding.\nApplications are welcome from mental-health professionals\, medical practitioners including nursing practitioners\, teachers and educators\, professionals working in protective services\, prisons\, and social and probation services\, and case workers in public and private organizations.
