SUMMARY:Psychoanalytic Takes on the Cinema: Discussion of the Film: "Marcel the Shell With Shoes On"
DESCRIPTION:2021 (89 mins)\nDirectors: Dean Fleischer Camp\nA documentary maker struggling with finances decides to make to make his newest documentary about a mollusk shell he finds living in his Airbnb with his friends.\n\nDate: January 31\, 2025 \nTime: 4:00pm – 5:30pm \nPresenter: Jonathan Stillerman\, PhD \nWhere: Via Zoom \nRegistration Link: Here\n \nProgram Flyer: Here \nRegistration Deadline: January 29\, 2025 \nPresentation Description:  \nAs psychotherapists and psychoanalysts\, we are constantly confronted with and immersed in our clients’ experiences of trauma and loss. But how often do we explore moments of awe in our clients’ lives and our own? And how often do we experience awe in the clinical encounter itself? Through a discussion of the 2023 animated mockumentary\, Marcel the Shell with Shoes On\, we will focus on the role of awe in life and in therapy and examine its potential to mitigate grief and isolation and boost our resilience in the face of personal and communal experiences of trauma and loss.

SUMMARY:Annual Colloquium (Members Only Event)
DESCRIPTION:NOTICE: Due to the risk of inclement weather\, we have made the decision to shift the Colloquium to a Zoom-only format. All registrants will receive an email with the Zoom link and information. \nRegistration will remain open until 12:00 PM on Friday\, January 10th. If you have any questions\, please contact the administrative office (202) 237-1854. \n\n\n\n\n\nPlease join us as\n\nMekdes Asha Hope\, PsyD \npresents\n“The Faces of Power: The Role of Language\, Fairness\, Choice\, and Responsibility During the Course of Training and in the Clinical Consulting Room”\nand\nTarpley Long\, MSW\npresents\n\n“I Put a Spell on You” \n  \n\n\nSaturday\, January 11\, 2025\n9:00 am – 12:00 pm ET\nVia Zoom \n\n\n (3 CME/CE) \nNOTE: This event is required for all students and candidates. If you are unable to attend\, you will need to complete a make-up assignment. \n\n\nRegistration Link: https://wbcp.memberclicks.net/reg_2025_colloquium\n \nProgram Flyer: HERE \n*Registration Deadline Extended until January 10\, 2025 at 12:00pm* \nPresentation Description: \nThe Faces of Power: \nThis program explores the concept of power\, developed over years of reflection on its true depth. 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:New Directions: Untangling Racialized Fantasies for Clinical Practice and Writing
DESCRIPTION:Weekend Conference \n\nNovember 1 @ 8:00 am – November 3 @ 5:00 pm\n\n\n\nThe history of psychoanalysis demonstrates a profound mixture of struggles with race and racism. Founded in the hotbed of late Victorian racism and antisemitism\, Freud made the then-radical argument that blood and genetics do not determine intellectual\, moral\, or emotional character. At the same time\, in work such as Civilization and Its Discontents (1930/2010)\, he embraced anthropological and sociological beliefs of the time which cast inhabitants of much of the non-Northern world as primitives and less developed\, enshrining non-Europeans in fantasized roles of alien other and romanticized bearers of unsuppressed id. \n“Psychoanalysis and related disciplines\,” notes Dorothy Evans Holmes in her 2021 article\, I Do Not Have a Racist Bone in My Body: Psychoanalytic Perspectives on What is Lost and Not Mourned in Our Culture’s Persistent Racism\, “have gone along with the general societal trend to disown the destructiveness of racism in its manifold forms\, affecting all our lives” (p. 240). Simultaneously\, as Holmes and many others note\, psychoanalysis has the tools to offer profound insights into the workings of racism in individual psyches and in society more broadly. \nThis weekend\, we make use of writing and of psychoanalytic insights and tools to explore the persistence of racialized othering and violence and the role that fantasies and experiences of race play in society and in own lives and work. We will interrogate common but often unanalyzed racial fantasies and their entanglements with self\, other\, culture\, history\, desire\, and power. We will work to understand how racialized fantasies participate in clinical practice and identify how psychoanalysis as both a set of concepts and a practice may be helpful for better understanding and transforming self and society in relation to enactments of racial fantasies. Finally\, we will consider how writing can help us to reflect upon and contribute to the transformation of our sense of racial selfness and otherness\, supporting both personal and cultural insight and transformation toward a more loving\, sustaining\, and equitable society and world. \nCoordinator: Gail Boldt and Pauli Badenhorst \nGUEST FACULTY: \nPAULI BADENHORST is an assistant professor in the Department of Teaching & Learning at The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. His research draws from psychoanalytic and Black antiracist scholarship to focus on questions such as “How are raced identity and racism related to pleasure? What is the role of emotion in the constitution and enactment of race? How are racialized Others compensatively used to generate and sustain identities and ideologies in localized sociopolitical contexts? What are the effects of climate change on materially-constituted racialized subjectivity?” Ultimately\, in Pauli’s work there resides great longing for deep and urgent relational antiracism work across schools and society. He is the author of Predatory White Antiracism\, published in 2021 in Psychoanalysis\, Culture\, and Society. \nJOHN HOLMAN is the author of Squabble and Other Stories\, Luminous Mysteries\, and Triangle Ray\, all books of fiction. His work has appeared in numerous journals such as The New Yorker\, Image\, Oxford American\, and The Sun\, as well as in several anthologies. He has been a visiting writer and guest speaker or reader of his fiction at universities throughout the country. Holman is a recipient of the Whiting Writers Award\, and he teaches fiction writing and literature at Georgia State University at Atlanta. \nANNIE LEE JONES\, PHD is a clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst. She is a Fellow\, supervisor\, member of the Board at IPTAR\, teaching faculty at Adelphi University and the NYU postdoctoral program in Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy\, the Center for Modern Psychoanalytic Studies\, and the Stephen Mitchell Relational Study Center. She is a member of Black Psychoanalysts Speak\, Inc. Dr. Jones has published several articles relevant to the everyday lived experiences of Black women as well as on the impact of antiblack policies on Black Americans. She is currently writing a series of short stories about the life of her paternal grandmother who was born into and freed from slavery in rural Georgia. \nDIONNE POWELL\, MD is a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst in private practice.  She is the author of\, among other articles\, the JAPA prize winning article\, Race\, African Americans\, and Psychoanalysis: Collective Silence in the Therapeutic Situation.  Dr. Powell has received numerous awards for her teaching including the American Psychoanalytic Association Candidate’s Council 2020-2021 Master Teacher Award. She is a training and supervising psychoanalyst at Columbia University Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research\, and the Psychoanalytic Association of New York Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medical College\, founding member of Black Psychoanalysts Speak and is co-chair of the Holmes Commission for Racial Equity in Psychoanalysis (APsaA sponsored).

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

SUMMARY:Psychoanalytic Takes on the Cinema: Discussion of the Film: "The Shining"
DESCRIPTION:1980 (144 mins)\nDirectors: Stanley Kubrick \nA family relocates to an isolated hotel for the winter\, where a sinister presence influences the father into episodes of violence while his psychic son sees horrifying forebodings from the past and the future.\n \nPsychoanalytic Takes on the Cinema: Discussion of the Film: “The Shining” \nDate: October 25\, 2024 \nTime: 4:00pm – 5:30pm \nPresenter: Alex Smith\, PsyD \nWhere: Via Zoom \nRegistration Link: Here\n \nProgram Flyer: Here \nRegistration Deadline: October 23\, 2o24 \nPresentation Description: \nAs in all great horror cinema\, Kubrick’s The Shining (1980) uses the haunted house motif to iterate upon essential human problems. The Torrances have kept their most overwhelming thoughts and feelings at some precarious distance\, only to encounter them in toto in the Overlook Hotel\, a repository of cast-off intrapsychic material. Jack Torrance’s thinly-veiled rage and vulnerability\, now laid bare\, plunges the family into unboundaried chaos. Kubrick’s interest in the border between constriction and absurdism adds additional layers to the film\, where what at first seems to be comical visual chaff adds not only texture\, but meaningful fragments of disallowed impulses. \nIn horror cinema—where less conscious thoughts and feelings are realized in ghastly acts and fantastical forms—the haunted house remains an evergreen motif. Indeed\, the haunted location remains a nearly universal fascination\, reaching across cultures and generations. Like other horror motifs\, the haunted house represents an exercise in the cozily distanced investigation of the most painful aspects of the human experience. What might be overwhelming if recognized and processed internally is parceled out onto the external. Ghosts\, hallways gushing blood\, and iced over hedge mazes—while less human and fantastical—become containers for our most primal fears\, conflicts\, and overwhelming ideas. \nTogether\, we will consider the horror narrative from a psychoanalytic lens\, and the haunted house motif specifically. From there\, we will develop some rudimentary morphology within the idea of projection\, taking an interest in the idea of the disembodied and the embodied as overlapping yet unique projective mechanisms. With these general ideas in tow\, we will investigate the rendering of the thematic material within the implausible and the absurd in The Shining.

SUMMARY:23rd Annual Saltz Grand Rounds
DESCRIPTION:23rd Annual Julia and Thomas Saltz Grand Rounds\n“Accidental Community Psychology and a Psychoanalytic View of the Impact of Trauma.”\nPresenter: Roderick Hall\, PhD\nWhen: Wednesday\, October 23\, 2024\nTime: 11:00am -12:30pm\nWhere: Zoom\nFee: No Fee; Free to all\n\nNo need to register just join the Zoom using the information below on October 23rd!\n\nhttps://childrensnational.zoom.us/j/98423316990\nMeeting ID: 984 2331 6990\nPasscode: 3932 \n\n\nProgram Description: \nDr. Hall\, a child\, adolescent and adult psychoanalyst and psychologist\, will describe how he became aware of the institutional abuse of teenagers in so-called “therapeutic schools” which are basically private prisons with no actual mental health staff.  As a result he became a vocal critic and advocate for parents to stop sending their children to these particular programs and clinicians avoid making referrals to such programs. 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

SUMMARY:LGBTQ+ Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Date: October 20\, 2024 \nTime: 1:00pm – 4:00pm \nPresenter: Sam Guzzardi\, LCSW \n“Holding Laplanche Lightly: The Story of Two Queer Treatments” \nVia Zoom \nRegistration Link: https://wbcp.memberclicks.net/registration_lgbtq_workshop_oct_20_2024\n \nProgram Flyer: HERE\n \nRegistration Deadline: October 10\, 2024 \nPresentation Description: \nAs psychoanalysis seeks to find new frontiers both for clinical work and engagement with the social\, the work of Jean Laplanche is becoming increasingly popular in the United States. 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.

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

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.
