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: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: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: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: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: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 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.

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

SUMMARY: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: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.

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:Psychoanalytic Takes on the Cinema: Discussion of the Film: "American Fiction"
DESCRIPTION:2023 (117 mins)\nDirectors: Dean Fleischer Camp A novelist disheartened by the literary industry profiting from the use of Black authors and narratives uses a pen name to craft a story that earns him acclaim while propelling him into hypocrisy.\nDate: February 27\, 2025 \nTime: 1:00pm – 4:00pm \nPresenter: Katherine Marshall Woods\, PsyD \nWhere: (Hybrid Event) \nThe Textile Museum\n701 21st St NW\, Washington\, DC 20052 \nand  \nVia Zoom \nRegistration Link: Here\n \nProgram Flyer: Here \nRegistration Deadline: February 25\, 2025 \nPresentation Description: \nThis presentation will consider how racially crafted stereotypes located in literary and film works have permeated artistic mediums over the last century. Jefferson’s American Fiction depicts an esteemed scholar and novelist frustrated by the narratives published in the literary world that perpetuates racial stereotypes influencing the ways in which people of color are imagined and understood in the world.  Within this presentation\, racial stereotypes frequently depicted are examined understanding that their insidious residue exist within quotidian dynamics\, including therapy rooms.  This film carefully examines the roles artists and audiences have to uphold racial stereotypes within present day artistic expressions\, while challenging one to consider how minority artists have contended with these stereotypes and navigated systems that depict their identity as the other. American Fiction directly confronts these systemically racially charged dynamics while being curious regarding whose voices and narratives are silenced and whose are celebrated.

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:Washington Case Conference
DESCRIPTION:April 11\, 2025:\nVia Zoom \nImplications of Linguistic Identity for the Psychotherapeutic Process\nPresented by: Maria Lima \nWhile our globalized world has increased the prevalence of multilingual patients and therapists\, multilingualism seems to be a topic that remains unspoken in psychotherapy training programs as well as in institutions that provide psychotherapy to the wider community. The lack of awareness about the specificities of the multilingual experience can cause therapists to misunderstand their patients’ emotional functioning and to misdiagnose them. This presentation aims to provide a means to reflect on how language is at the core of the individual’s identity – their sense of self and mode of being in the world. It also aims to address the implications of multilingualism for psychotherapeutic practice by using clinical material from psychotherapy sessions with monolingual and bilingual patients. In this presentation we will delve into the particularities of the subjective experience of people who make sense of themselves and the world in more than one language\, and it will be argued that an awareness of the linguistic characteristics of each patient promotes better psychotherapeutic practice\, whether conducted by monolingual or multilingual therapists. We will then extend this exploration to monolingual therapeutic dyads\, emphasizing that even in such dyads\, there may be “different languages” being spoken\, as the same words can have distinct emotional connotations depending on each person’s lived experience. \nRegister at CFS: https://contemporaryfreudiansociety.org/calendar-of-events/public-events/ \nFor any questions/concerns regarding the Washington Case Conference please contact Connie Stroboulis at connies3@aol.com

SUMMARY:New Directions: Maternity And Its Upheavals
DESCRIPTION:Weekend Conference \nMaternity — from pregnancy\, to childbirth\, to parenting a newborn introduces  psychic dislocation and strain in the mother and upheaval in the couple.  Idealizations of pregnancy and early motherhood can constrain our recognition of the potential for depression\, loss\, trauma\, and breakdown that disrupt this topsy-turvy time of life.  This weekend will explore the psychic topography of this central developmental period.  We will consider the potential for emotional disturbance as well as for transformation in new parents. \nCoordinator: Elizabeth Fritsch\, Ph.D. \nGUEST FACULTY: \nJennifer Babcock\, Psy.D. is a child and adult psychologist and adult psychoanalyst with a clinical and assessment practice in Old Town Alexandria\, Virginia.

SUMMARY:Washington Case Conference
DESCRIPTION:May 9\, 2025:\nVia Zoom\nTopic: To Be Or Not To Be: The Existential Sensibility and Psychodynamic Therapy \nPresented by:  Jane Prelinger\, MSW and Michael Stadter\, PhD\n\n An existential sensibility focuses on fundamental themes of being human and the joys and suffering inherent in existence. This sensibility is not prescriptive nor is it a pathology model. It is individual for therapist and patient. Important themes include\, for example\, life\, death\, joy\, vitality\, absurdity\, serious illness or disability\, trauma\, isolation\, loss\, aging\, identity\, and the search for meaning. The conference will include contributions from existential philosophy and existential therapists. During the seminar\, we will briefly discuss some of these themes\, our own clinical work\, and invite participants to offer their own clinical vignettes\n\n\nRegister at CFS: https://contemporaryfreudiansociety.org/calendar-of-events/public-events/ \nFor any questions/concerns regarding the Washington Case Conference please contact Connie Stroboulis at connies3@aol.com
