SUMMARY:New Directions - "Sisterhood"
DESCRIPTION:May 5-7\, 2023\n\nBefore women had access to capital in the public sphere\, powerful sibling bonds and deep female friendships were captured in the literary imagination. Now\, on the streets and in blog communities\, feminist collectives of all genders inspire resistance projects that are reshaping the meaning of sisterhood. This conference will consider the representation of sisterhood across psychoanalytic and literary canons. Shifting the focus away from the historical role of women as muse\, damsel\, or mistress – or as the inferior sex plagued by penis envy – this weekend will cast light on artistic literary collaborations among female-identified people. \nWe’ll also explore female envy and competition in a male-dominated literary world\, in which women who write defy a long-standing reputation as “scribblers\,” as Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote to a publisher in 1855. We’ll consider the persistent expectation that a woman “write like a man\,” in order to be taken seriously. Alternatively\, we’ll explore whether this posturing of masculinity is the flip side of “womanliness as masquerade\,” described by psychoanalyst Joan Rivere in 1929 as a creative solution for dealing with conflicts – within oneself and in the culture – about female power\, ambition\, and aggression. \nIf women’s writing is still received differently in contemporary publishing\, how does this marginalization show up in women’s writing lives? If women have earned their entitlement to money and a room to write\, what more do we need? And how do broad social movements\, like the #metoo campaign\, influence women’s self- expression and ability to put pen to paper? How does the queering of the categories of “male” and “female” reshape how the gendered social order is represented\, and how writers bring to life the complexity of gender and subjectivity? These questions and more will stimulate lively conversation during our weekend together about the vast meanings – including the awesome potential and perils – of sisterhood. \nCoordinator: Catherine Baker-Pitts\, Ph.D.\, LCSW \nGUEST FACULTY: \nANNIE LEE JONES Ph.D is a clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst in private practice in Queens\, New York.

SUMMARY:COWAP Revisiting the Maternal: Maternal Eroticism in the Analytic Setting
DESCRIPTION:with Andrea Celenza  \nThe analyst’s vitalizing activity\, as reflected in the analyst’s invitation to be\, in the offer to take in the analyst as an object of love\, to receive what the analyst transmits\, and the taking in of other components implicit through nonverbal means (through gaze and displaced touch) are all components of a healthy analytic process. These are all aspects of healthy maternal eroticism as well. In this presentation\, the various components of maternal eroticism will be illustrated through my work with Petra. By attending to and responding within the multiverse of maternal eroticism (derived in particular from the work of Julia Kristeva)\, a process of transformation occurred where signifiers of the abject\, previously residing in foreclosed spaces of the analysand’s mind\, were accessed in the usable space of the analytic setting. \nRegistration Link: https://wbcp.memberclicks.net/registration-cowap-2022

DESCRIPTION:Date: Tuesday\, June 13\, 2023\n7:30pm – 9:00pm ET\nDiscussants: Reverend Magora Kennedy and Patrick Sammon\nVia Zoom\nRegistration Link: https://wbcp.memberclicks.net/cured_registration\nREGISTRATION DEADLINE: Friday\, June 9\, 2023\nFor a complete list of dates\, presenters\, learning objectives\, and detailed CME/CE information see flyer on the registration page. \nRegistration Fees: \nRegistration Fees: (No CE’s) \nWBCP members $20 \nNon WBCP members $25 \nWBCP PSP and Candidates No fee \nWBCP’s Fellowship Program Participants (2022-2023) No fee \nALL FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE \nProgram Description:\nCURED illuminates a pivotal yet largely unknown chapter in the struggle for LGBTQ+ equality: the campaign that led the American Psychiatric Association (APA) to remove homosexuality from its manual of mental illnesses. Before this momentous 1973 decision\, the medical establishment viewed every gay and lesbian person as diseased and in need of a cure. Business and government used the mental-illness classification to justify discrimination and bigotry. As long as lesbians and gay men were “sick\,” progress toward equality was nearly impossible. \n  \nIncorporating a trove of newly unearthed archival material\, CURED takes audiences inside this riveting narrative to chronicle the strategy and tactics that led to a crucial turning point in the movement for LGBTQ+ rights. Indeed\, following the Stonewall rebellion of 1969\, the battle that culminated in the APA’s decision to remove homosexuality from the DSM\, marked the first major step on the path to first-class citizenship for LGBTQ+ Americans. CURED sheds new light on this victory\, while situating the APA story within the larger context of the modern movement for LGBTQ+ equality

SUMMARY:COWAP Revisiting the Maternal: The Maternal Has No Gender
DESCRIPTION:with Ann Pellegrini and Tiffany Lethbo King \nIn much of psychoanalytic theory\, the maternal is intimately tied up in\, and is understood to be\, the grounds of sexual difference\, if not gender. But following from approaches in feminist\, queer\, trans\, and Black Study\, the maternal can be understood to have no gender. In this presentation\, the panelists will address the notion of the maternal as ungendered\, agendered\, and multigendered.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
