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: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.
