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.

SUMMARY:New Directions - "Psychoanalysis: We have a Story to Tell"
DESCRIPTION:May 3\, 2024 \nFreud understood the power of stories\, captivating the world with his case histories of Dora\, Little Hans\, the Rat Man and the Wolf Man. Stories fire the imagination. Yet over the years\, psychoanalytic writing grew obscure\, bogged down in complicated jargon and theory. \nWriters utilize psychoanalytic ideas not only to fully develop their characters and create settings resonant with feeling\, but also to understand their own imaginative processes: tolerating the anxiety of allowing material to gestate and unfold\, recognizing resistances to exploring certain subject matter\, understanding the motivations behind work\, discovering unconscious themes. \nThis weekend we hope to inspire you to find new and creative ways of telling your stories– whether in the form of fiction\, poetry\, op-eds or essays–allowing readers to marvel at the complexity and beauty of what it means to be human. Each genre\, offering a pathway to a deep psychological truth\, allowing a reader to put themselves in the mind of another\, capturing a deeper wisdom about human nature\, resonating long after they are heard. \nCoordinator: Kerry Malawista\, Ph.D.\n \nGUEST FACULTY: \nKate Daniels\, a 2008 graduate of New Directions\, is the author of six books of poetry\, as well as Slow Fuse of the Possible: A Memoir of Poetry and Psychoanalysis (2022)\, an inter-genre prose work that explores connections between psychoanalysis and poetry\, focusing on the psychodynamic aspects of the writing process.  A former Guggenheim Fellow in Poetry\, and Bunting Fellow (now Radcliffe Institute) at Harvard\, she is an elected member of the Fellowship of Southern Writers\, and the recipient of a Pushcart Prize and three Best American Poetry awards.  Her poetry is collected in more than seventy-five anthologies.  Formerly\, poet in residence at Duke University Medical Center and at Vanderbilt University Medical Center\, she has given talks and workshops at selected psychoanalytic training centers and institutes in the U.S. on the topic of creative writing and psychoanalysis.  She is the Edwin Mims Professor of English Emerita at Vanderbilt University. \nLisa Gornick\, PhD is a graduate of the doctoral program in clinical psychology at Yale and the psychoanalytic training program at Columbia\, where she is on the voluntary faculty. Her academic writing includes papers about women treating men\, Freud’s engagement with creative writers and the topic of creative writing\, and the parallels between the processes of imaginative writing and psychotherapy. No longer in practice\, she is now primarily focused on writing. Her work includes four novels: The Peacock Feast\, Tinderbox\, and Louisa Meets Bear – all jointly published by Farrar\, Straus and Giroux and Picador—and A Private Sorcery\, published by Algonquin.  Her stories and essays have appeared widely\, including in The New York Times\, Prairie Schooner\, Salon\, Slate\, Real Simple\, and The Wall Street Journal\, and have received many honors including Distinguished Story by the Best American Short Stories. She lives in Manhattan with her husband and sons. More information can be found at lisagornickauthor.com. \nEmma Lieber is a psychoanalyst in private practice in New York and part time faculty in Literary Studies at Eugene Lang College\, The New School. She is the author of The Writing Cure (Bloomsbury 2020) and coeditor\, with Anna Fishzon\, of The Queerness of Childhood: Essays from the Other Side of the Looking Glass (Palgrave 2022). Her writing has appeared in LitHub\, The Point Magazine\, The New England Review\, The Massachusetts Review\, and various academic and psychoanalytic publications.\nShe is currently working on Impossible Professions\, a book manuscript on psychoanalysis and education\, as well as articles on psychoanalysis and autotheory and psychoanalysis and Jewishness. \nRebekah Rutkoff is the author of The Irresponsible Magician: Essays and Fictions (semiotexte\, 2015) and the forthcoming Double Vision: The Cinema of Robert Beavers (MIT Press) and the editor of Robert Beavers (Austrian Film Museum\, 2017). Her writing — which spans research-based scholarship\, creative nonfiction and fiction — engages with psychoanalysis as both form and content; she writes on ancient theories of dreaming\, the psychic dimensions of avant-garde cinema\, and the intersubjective space of first-person prose. She is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences at NJIT.

SUMMARY:Psychoanalytic Takes on the Cinema - XXY
DESCRIPTION:Psychoanalytic Takes on the Cinema \nDiscussion of the film XXY(2007) \n \nDirector: Lucia Puenzo \nAfter a chance encounter on the street\, a woman tried to encourage a pregnant domestic abuse victim to see help. \nDiscussant: Helen DeVinney\, PsyD \n  \nDate: April 26th\, 2024 \nTime: 4:00 pm – 5:30 pm \nVia Zoom \nThis presentation will consider how Lucia Puenzo’s XXY imagines a world where an intersex child\, Alex\, is allowed to exist without a need to constantly take up definition and legibility in order to be legitimate. With the family in Uruguay in a kind of social retreat\, Alex simply exists\, as opposed to her existence being presented as an inherent burden or dilemma. The film carefully subverts the male gaze to offer Alex a subjectivity independent of the viewer’s gratification and curiosity. The film also provides an opportunity to consider how the autonomy of an intersex child can be supported or stymied by their parents’ ability to tolerate uncertainty and to challenge their own gender anxiety. The film presents an opportunity to consider how psychoanalysis can also uphold or challenge the male gaze\, confront or collude with anxieties regarding the categories and stability of gender\, and encourage liberation or compliance when working with intersex patients and/or their parents/caregivers. \nDiscussant: Helen DeVinney\, PsyD (she/her) was writing her dissertation in English when she realized that practicing psychoanalytically-informed psychology would allow her to better blend critical theory\, self-inquiry\, and social justice as a lived practice. She completed both her Psy.D. and postdoctoral training at The George Washington University’s Professional Psychology Program before joining its core faculty. She has written and presented on the intersections of psychoanalysis and issues of gender\, sexuality\, race\, and ability\, and she maintains a strong academic and clinical interest in the lived sequelae of what is termed trauma\, as well as linking trauma explicitly to systems of oppression. helen has a private practice in Washington\, DC\, where she is active in exploring with patients the roles of coloniality\, cultural norms and identity when considering what is termed abnormal or pathological or symptomatic\, particularly as it relates to challenging the white cishet ableist imperialist patriarchy. \nREGISTRATION LINK: https://wbcp.memberclicks.net/registration_cinema_4-26-24_xxy

SUMMARY:New Directions - "Trauma of Discovery - DNA Surprises. The Redefinition of the Narrative Arc of Self"
DESCRIPTION:February 2-4\, 2024 \nMany\, curious about their ancestry\, turn to 23 and Me searching for answers to the complicated question\, “Who am I?” Yet\, what happens when a mere globule of saliva\, the extraction of DNA strands from cells\, brings into question a person’s basic identity? How do we\, as therapists and writers\, begin to consider the psychological meaning and impact of finding out that a mother or father is not one’s biological parent? How do we absorb the shock that there is another parent somewhere out in the world? And the surprising discovery of half-siblings\, sometimes numbering in the tens\, even hundreds. \nScience has outpaced our psychological understanding and appreciation for the impact of this surprising\, often fracturing\, information. Families\, turned upside down\, at long hidden secrets revealed. \nWe construct our identity out of biological givens: who we look like\, where we get certain traits from—the shape of our face\, our eye color\, even the way one of our eyebrows might rise up when we are curious. We think of these features of the self as objective facts\, all creating a picture of who we are over time. Yet our identity also encompasses subjective experiences not found in our genes\, such as the memories we hold\, our relationships\, and values that create a narrative of who we consistently are over time. Learning that the parent we thought was our biological parent is not\, is more than the trauma of discovery\, a grief at what has been lost\, but brings with it a much more complicated meaning of identity and the question —Who am I? \nThis weekend we will explore what happens when the narrative of one’s life\, our subjective reality is altered\, even shattered? How do we revise our narrative of who we are\, in the face of new evidence\, information we had considered an objective fact? How do we maintain a connection to our old self\, allowing for the inclusion of this new information? \nCoordinator: Kerry Malawista\, Ph.D. \nGUEST FACULTY: \nLIBBY COPELAND is an award-winning journalist and author who writes about culture and science for outlets including The Washington Post\, The New York Times\, and The Atlantic. Her book The Lost Family: How DNA Testing is Upending Who We Are was praised by The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal and was named to The Guardian’s list of The Best Books of 2020. The Washington Post said it “reads like an Agatha Christie mystery” and “wrestles with some of the biggest questions in life: Who are we? What is family? Are we defined by nature\, nurture or both?” Copeland’s immersive reporting and intimate writing explore the forces that shape our identities. \nJULIE ELION is the clinical director of the Center for Athletic Performance and Enhancement and has an MA in counseling. Through her psychotherapy practice she has helped athletes and CEOs achieve their dreams. Julie focuses on identifying beliefs that block our optimal performance which has helped her gain recognition in multiple articles in the New York Times\, Golf Digest\, and other periodicals as “that lady who helped me to win.” In the fall of 2019 Julie Elion discovered through genetic testing who her biological father was–a psychiatrist–leading her into a complicated world of genetic testing\, insemination\, and anonymous sperm donations. Through this journey she has discovered 68 siblings\, 40 of which she has met and keeps in moderately close touch with\, sharing many physical and psychological traits. \nJAYNE RIEW is a writer and artist based in NYC.  In the Scientific American blog “Beautiful Minds\,” Scott Barry Kaufman calls her “a psychological artist who explores the unseen.”  Her 2019 portrait essay “Twisting Ladders” explores how 17 people confronted the upheaval in their sense of identity after DNA testing revealed an unknown child or parent.  Jayne’s work has been commended by New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof as “counterintuitive and creative” and praised by Federalist editor-in-chief Mollie Hemingway as “listening journalism.”  Whether ghostwriting memoirs or reading Chekhov for Librivox\, at the heart of all Jayne’s pursuits is a fascination with portraiture—a close reading of ourselves and the conditions that affect that understanding. \nDANI SHAPIRO is the author of the instant New York Times best selling memoir\, Inheritance\, which was published in January 2019 by Knopf. Her other books include the memoirs Hourglass\, Still Writing\, Devotion\, and Slow Motion\, and five novels including Black & White and Family History. Her latest novel\, Signal Fires\, will be published in the fall of 2022 by Knopf. Along with teaching writing workshops around the world\, Dani has taught at Columbia and New York University\, and is the cofounder of the Sirenland Writers Conference in Positano\, Italy. In February of 2019\, Dani launched an original podcast\, Family Secrets\, in collaboration with iHeartMedia. An iTunes Top 10 podcast\, the series features stories from guests who—like Dani— have uncovered life-altering and long-hidden secrets from their families’ past. She lives with her family in Litchfield County\, Connecticut.

Using Kleinian theory\, I describe what enables containing and what containing offers and the environment that it can happen in. I will reflect on my experience of having a non-Jewish German background and the weight of collective guilt within myself and how it can be used against me. I reference contemporary German Jewish culture and peoples’ return to Germany to regain their history. I will use the French philosopher Paul Ricoeur’s thinking on containing forgetting to help me write my own historical narrative. \nJamie Steele\, LMFT: Consciousness Raising: Social Justice as Psychoanalysis\, Psychoanalysis as Social Justice \nWhile there is a growing recognition within psychoanalysis of the role of the social in clinical work and theory\, it still remains widely seen as outside of the realm of the consulting room. In part this is due to the vast history of taking culture for granted in psychoanalysis\, even as our adjuncting clinical fields took it up and took it seriously. Another part\, however\, is rooted in the dual insularity of psychoanalytic theory and the relative paucity of applied theoretical frameworks within the psychoanalytic literature taking up the process of the psychodynamics of social power and privilege. To address one possible way of moving forward\, this paper takes up the social justice concept of “consciousness raising”[1] as a way of thinking psychoanalytically about the internal and external processes of social justice work and the opportunities this process might serve to clinical practice in the consulting room.

This program is offered to members and students of both organizations as well as psychoanalysts\, psychiatrists\, psychologists\, social workers\, licensed counselors\, mental health students\, and other mental health providers from the Washington Baltimore metropolitan area interested in psychoanalytic theory\, practice\, and perspectives.\n——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————- \nCourse: \nJanuary 12\, 2024 – William Pinney\, PhD \nTigger\, Eeyore\, and the Crunch of (Mis)Recognition; The work of Paul Russell\, MD \nDescription: \nPaul Russell once wrote\, “There is no real treatment process that does not include some piece of therapy for the therapist.” This program will detail Russell’s contribution to our understanding of complicated treatment impasses\, detailing a variety of his contributions but focusing primarily on his 1975 paper “The Theory of the Crunch.” Participants will be introduced to this work and it’s prescient focus on the co-contributions of both patient’s and therapist’s intermingling psychologies to the treatment process\, particularly as they combine to create treatment ruptures and/or impasses. Much of Russell’s work presages many core aspects of the Relational perspective’s focus on co-creation and the therapeutic use of enactments. These theoretical understandings will be examined in the context of a case presentation of a many year\, three-times weekly psychotherapy that presented significant challenges to both the patient and the therapist. \nPresenter Bio: \nWilliam Pinney\, PhD\, is a Clinical Psychologist in private practice in Washington\, DC\, working with adults in both individual and group psychotherapy. He is on the faculty (and past chair) of the Supervision Training Program as well as faculty and supervisor in the Clinical Program on Psychotherapy Practice\, both at the Washington School of Psychiatry.

SUMMARY:Psychoanalytic Takes on the Cinema (The Matrix)
DESCRIPTION:Discussion of the film\nThe Matrix\n1999 (136 min)\nDirector: Lana Wachowski\n*** Film must be viewed prior to event.***\nDiscussant: Celeste Kelly\, Psy.D.\nDate: Friday\, December 1\, 2023\n4:00pm – 5:30pm ET\nVia Zoom\nRegistration Link: https://wbcp.memberclicks.net/registration-dc-cinema-matrix\nREGISTRATION DEADLINE: November 29\, 2023\nFor a complete list of dates\, presenters\, learning objectives\, and detailed CME/CE information see flyer on the registration page. \nRegistration Fees: \nI do not need CME/CE                        $0.00 \n1.5 CME/CE                                          $30.00 \nALL FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE \nProgram Description:\nThe Matrix has been a sci-fi classic since its release in 1999. Queer folks began speculating about the trans themes of the film shortly thereafter and speculation only increased as the film’s co-writers and directors\, the Wachowski sisters\, transitioned in the 2010’s. But it wasn’t until 2020 that Lilly Wachowski publicly confirmed that the film was originally intended as a trans allegory. This presentation will revisit the Matrix within this framework to explore themes of gender identity development\, coming out\, transitioning and societal resistance\, all within our current sociopolitical context of bills\, bans and violence against trans bodies. As the Matrix reminds us\, trans stories have always been here and always will be. \nDiscussant: \nCeleste Kelly\, PsyD (they/she)\, is a graduate and former postdoctoral fellow of the Professional Psychology Program of GWU\, currently working in private practice on occupied Powhatan land now known as Richmond\, VA. Their clinical practice focuses primarily on gender and sexual identity development\, trauma\, and couple therapy. They are interested in learning and writing about the intersection/interaction of therapist and patient identities. \n\n CE Information: \nContinuing Medical Education – This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the accreditation requirements and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through the joint providership of the American Psychoanalytic Association and The Washington Baltimore Center for Psychoanalysis\, Inc.

An unresolvable crisis? A melancholic state? Or is disability an identity\, a potential source of pride and power? One in five people in the world are disabled; if we should live so long\, we will all eventually be disabled. Disabled people constitute the world’s largest minority group. Yet disability still figures in psychoanalysis as trauma\, pathology\, melancholia. This workshop will use storytelling\, family history\, and reflection as well as new concepts emerging from disability studies and disability justice to explore what disability means for psychoanalysis. How do we encounter this core human experience on the couch\, and how can we open up the richness of disability identity for ourselves and our clients? What ableist ideas do we bring to the psychoanalytic encounter–and what happens when we let them go? In this interactive presentation\, we will examine how the concept of disability lineage and related concepts can help us reimagine disability for and with our clients. \nPresenter Bio: \nDr. Jennifer Natalya Fink\, is a core faculty in the Program in Disability Studies and a professor of English at Georgetown University. Her groundbreaking book\, All Our Families: Disability Lineage and the Future of Kinshiphas been featured in the New York Times and the Atlantic. She is also a novelist and is the winner of the Dana Award for the Novel and the Catherine Doctorow Prize for Innovative Fiction. An acclaimed teacher scholar- artist\, she received the President’s Award for Scholar-Teachers. \n——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————- \nThere is no known commercial support for this program.\nCVs available upon request. \nCE Information: \nContinuing Medical Education – This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the accreditation requirements and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through the joint providership of the American Psychoanalytic Association and The Washington Baltimore Center for Psychoanalysis\, Inc.

SUMMARY:New Directions - "Life After Death: How the Pandemic Has Transformed Psychic Life"
DESCRIPTION:November 3 – 5\, 2023 \nThere used to be no house\, hardly a room\, in which someone had not once died. \n(Rose\, 2021\, p. 4) \nThe majority of Covid deaths have occurred in the isolation of the hospital room\, not in a home.  We– none of us — are allowed to touch the dying for fear of our own dying. \nMassive death\, even when unseen and blocks/cities away\, infects our state of mind in myriad ways. In this weekend we will explore our upended experience of time: “Grief brings time shuddering to a halt” (Rose\, 2021. p. 8). \nWe ask what is the mental impact of living in time and space brought to a halt: losing one’s bodily and mental space\, no longer able to move freely in the inside or outside world; simultaneously losing the free flow of time\, creating a version of mental claustrophobia.  In the days and weeks after George Floyd’s death\, his unheard plea “I can’t breathe” echoed in so many of us\, a haunting echo of the violence inherent in structured racist policies.  Saidiya Hartman (2002) asks: “How might we understand mourning\, when the event has yet to end? When the injuries not only perdure\, but are inflicted anew? Can one mourn what has yet ceased happening?” \nWe are required to “wait.” It is in the time of waiting that all is held in balance. We wait to find normal again only to slowly apprehend it is not coming back\, rather something we call “the new normal” will take its place. As the old is replaced by the new we wait in uncertainty. This is a most painful state of mind\, an extraordinary demand the pandemic has placed on us. \nAnd yet in waiting there is work to be done. It makes all the difference in the world if we hold onto hope\, or what we as psychoanalysts call the “good object.” In this weekend’s presentations and discussion we will focus on the conflict between hope and despair\, love and hate\, life and death. Can we as individuals and in the larger societal sense\, face the hurt\, the loss and hatred and resultant painful frustration to instill and maintain a sense of “mattering” in our relations. (Baraitser\, 2020).  How we come to develop a sense of mattering—or not\, and whose lives matter- whose lives are “grievable” (Butler) ? \n* Title from Jacquelyn Rose\, London Review of Books\, 12/7/21 \nCoordinator: Lynne Zeavin\, Ph.D. Shelley Rockwell\, Ph.D. \nGUEST FACULTY: TBA

SUMMARY:Psychoanalytic Takes on the Cinema (The Invitation)
DESCRIPTION:Discussion of the film\nThe Invitation\n2015 (104 min)\nDirector: Karyn Kusama\n*** Film must be viewed prior to event.***\nDiscussant: Alex Smith\, Psy.D.\nDate: Friday\, October 27\, 2023\n4:00pm – 5:30pm ET\nVia Zoom\nRegistration Link: https://wbcp.memberclicks.net/registration-dc-cinema-invitation\nREGISTRATION DEADLINE: October 25\, 2023\nFor a complete list of dates\, presenters\, learning objectives\, and detailed CME/CE information see flyer on the registration page. \nRegistration Fees:  \nI do not need CME/CE. – $0.00 \n1.5 CME/CE – $30.00 \nALL FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE \nFilm Description:\nWhen a man accepts an invitation to a dinner party hosted by his ex-wife\, the unsettling past reopens old wounds and creates new tensions. \nPresentation: \nWhile often speculative and hopefully morbid\, horror cinema is uniquely equipped to lay bare the unthinkable\, shifting our fears and wishes into the realm of the far-fetched. While Karyn Kusama grounds The Invitation in expertly rendered characters and a downbeat\, albeit slippery\, realism\, she hews closely to the mechanics of the horror narrative\, utilizing fantastical motifs to meditate deeply on resurrection\, grief\, and the diffusion of the self. In this discussion\, we will continue our celebration of the effectiveness of horror in portraying the profoundly human through the profoundly fantastical. We will work to peeling back the layers of horror to reveal the determinants driving the fantastical\, exploring how The Invitation iterates on themes of death and resurrection. We will also look at the classical horror motif of the cult and its representation in horror narratives\, examining its utility\, and the psychoanalytic underpinnings of the fascination of horror with cults and forbidden belief-systems. \n\nThere is no known commercial support for this program.\nCVs available upon request. \nCE Information: \nContinuing Medical Education – This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the accreditation requirements and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through the joint providership of the American Psychoanalytic Association and The Washington Baltimore Center for Psychoanalysis\, Inc.

Early on\, psychoanalytic attitudes toward homosexuality could be reasonably characterized as hostile. The presentation begins with Freud’s early views on homosexuality within the cultural context of his times. It then reviews later pathologizing psychoanalytic theories as well as the research of sexologists which ultimately led to the 1973 decision of the American Psychiatric Association to remove homosexuality from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM).  Today the contributions of openly lesbian and gay analysts have shifted psychoanalytic focus on homosexuality from discussions of “why gay?” to the more clinically relevant question of “how gay?” This presentation shows how the history of psychoanalytic attitudes toward homosexuality illustrates how psychological theories cannot be divorced from the political\, cultural\, and personal contexts in which they are formulated. \n  \nCatherine Mallouh\, MD: \nAbortion is a complex issue politically\, socially\, and morally. It is also a legal issue which impacts women’s bodily autonomy. This presentation will explore psychoanalytic perspectives on abortion\, particularly in the context of this choice being prohibited.  The effect of the social on psychic life and individual subjectivity becomes evident. The choice to continue a pregnancy or not does not just concern the fetus\, but also the choice for motherhood and providing maternal care.  Continuing a pregnancy in the context of being able to have an abortion frames the choice for motherhood. \n\nThere is no known commercial support for this program.\nCVs available upon request. \nCE Information: \nContinuing Medical Education – This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the accreditation requirements and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through the joint providership of the American Psychoanalytic Association and The Washington Baltimore Center for Psychoanalysis\, Inc.

This work has been focused on enabling the therapists to preserve their ability to think during a war and the ongoing trauma it is inflicting. In our experience consulting with Ukrainian therapists during Ukraine’s ongoing war with Russia\, we have felt that there is much about the way that the mind operates under inordinate stress that we can learn from listening to these brave\, kind and\, at times\, heroic therapists. We have also felt that our psychoanalytic tools are as applicable in wartime as they are in our daily work in the calmest of external environments. In this presentation\, we will discuss our experiences from both the vantage point of what we have learned from and what we have found useful to offer our Ukrainian colleagues. \nPresenter Bios: \nEllen C. Klosson\, PhD\, Is a Training and Supervising analyst\, and on the permanent faculty at the Contemporary Freudian Society. She was on the core faculty and taught for many years in George Washington University’s Psy.D. Program. She is in private practice in Darnestown\, Maryland. \nMichael Krass\, PhD\, is a clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst in Falls Church\, VA. He is a training analyst with the Contemporary Freudian Society-Psychoanalytic Training Institute where he supervises and teaches in the adult analytic training program. He has also taught at Johns Hopkins University and the Washington School of Psychiatry and was a supervisor for many years for the GWU PsyD program. He has published in The Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association\, The American Psychoanalyst and the Division/Review Psychoanalytic Quarterly. For many years\, he co-led a discussion group on impingements on the analytic containing function and led a discussion group on working analytically with patients on the autism spectrum at the APsA annual meetings. He has also presented many papers at a number of local\, national as well as international conferences\, and has had the pleasure of presenting at the Washington Case Conference two previous times: on the therapist’s use of reverie and on transference/countertransference issues when the therapist is white and the patient is a person of color. He is the President of CFS and is also on the Board of ROOM: a sketchbook for analytic action. \n——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————- \nThere is no known commercial support for this program.\nCVs available upon request. \nCE Information: \nContinuing Medical Education – This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the accreditation requirements and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through the joint providership of the American Psychoanalytic Association and The Washington Baltimore Center for Psychoanalysis\, Inc.
