The Washington School of Psychiatry and the DC Institute for Mental Hygiene were named repeatedly. I knew nothing about the Institute’s stellar history when I began working in one of the three branches of what was typically called DCIMH. I am only now fully aware of its incredible backstory. Dr. Harold Eist was appointed the Medical Director of the tiny Institute in 1969 with a handful of staff members seeing less than a total of twenty patients. Harold was the genius behind creating the Institute’s mission which set it apart from all other community mental health centers. The mission was two-fold: first, to provide the same kind of quality mental health care to the poor that the affluent could receive; and second, to offer the best psychoanalytic training to volunteers so that they would flock to the Institute, gladly trading their time and service for the opportunity to learn psychoanalytic theory and practice treating this population. This mission drove its success. - [Congratulations to the 2023 WBCP Graduates and Award Recipients](https://www.wbcp.org/congratulations-to-the-2023-wbcp-graduates-and-award-recipients/) - Over the last few years, the Washington Baltimore Center for Psychoanalysis and Howard University Department of Psychiatry have been building an affiliation. - [Faraway Voices:  Healing Through Writing](https://www.wbcp.org/faraway-voices-healing-through-writing/) - The early morning sun shines through the window of my home office as I open the Zoom link to connect with 6 young women who have just finished their evening meal--10 time zones away--in Bangladesh. One by one they arrive in their little video boxes; many in colorful headscarves, all smiling and offering warm greetings to me and one another. They place themselves wherever they can find the best Wi-Fi connection. One is in the library, surrounded by books, another in an outside courtyard dotted with tropical plants. Several are in dorm rooms, often with curious friends peeking into the frame and hoping for an introduction. These young women eagerly approach our work together: weekly writing workshops to explore their experiences and feelings. - [The House of Ruth](https://www.wbcp.org/the-house-of-ruth/) - In her essay about her years as a board member at the House of Ruth, Carolyn Gruber does a beautiful job describing the work done in this incredible “house” where women, children and families are "empowered to rebuild their lives and heal from trauma, abuse and homelessness".

Carolyn is adjunct faculty at the Smith College School of Social Work and had been on the faculty of Virginia Commonwealth University School of SW.

The family home in the film becomes a kind of unconscious structure, a repository for grief, history, and the versions of themselves they could not keep. I have never had that kind of house. I have moved every two to four years for as long as I can remember. My life can be mapped through new cupboards and unfamiliar ceilings. I learned early how to fold myself into spaces never meant to hold me for long. Even now, some part of me is already preparing an exit. - [WHY MAKE MIRROR ART IN WAR-TORN TEHRAN?](https://www.wbcp.org/psychbyte/why-make-mirror-art-in-war-torn-tehran/) - Why does Aref Montazeri, an Iranian sculptor whose art sells for over a million dollars, continue to make his towering works from shards of mirror glass in his studio in Tehran, amid window-shattering bomb blasts? He gently wraps his creations in shock-absorbing material, but why continue with such a fragile medium? In a Wall Street Journal article by Kelly Crow (May 2-3, 2026), he says, “Nothing, not even war, should prevent us from pursuing what we aim for.” - [Shortcut](https://www.wbcp.org/psychbyte/shortcut/) - I live in the city and often walk to my preferred destinations. Sometimes my walks include shortcuts when going to familiar places. One common shortcut was an alley which contained rats. While the rats were disturbing and seemingly everywhere, I continued using my shortcut. At some point an intervention occurred – poison. I began to experience the mixed blessing of dying rats instead of living rats. While I hesitated to look at the dead and decaying rats, they were in my path and I couldn’t ignore them. In time, the living rats disappeared. But at the end of my alley shortcut, “my inner rats” remained alive in the office of my psychoanalyst. - ["Pagan" or Sublime?](https://www.wbcp.org/psychbyte/pagan-or-sublime/) - When the curtain rises on Brian Friel’s renowned play, “Dancing at Lughnasa,” Michael, a pleasant young man, addresses the audience as though he’s lying on an analyst’s couch: “When I cast my mind back to that summer of 1936, different kinds of memories offer themselves to me.” He was only seven, but the memories still make him “uneasy;” it was a time of “things changing too quickly.” These memories unfold for us on the stage. - [Closings](https://www.wbcp.org/psychbyte/closings/) - At a funeral, I read Tennyson’s poem, “Crossing the Bar,” written when he was 80.

Scott Fitzgerald and his wife, Zelda, lie buried.

H. Auden on Sigmund Freud: A Eulogy and a Warning](https://www.wbcp.org/psychbyte/w-h-auden-on-sigmund-freud-a-eulogy-and-a-warning/) - W. H. Auden’s 1940 poem, “In Memory of Sigmund Freud,” takes on renewed relevance today. He extolls Freud as “no more a person now but a whole climate of opinion.” Yet he also warns that this “climate” is vulnerable to powerful interests who see it as a threat. - [Loop of Familiarity](https://www.wbcp.org/psychbyte/loop-of-familiarity/) - I went out for a walk today. The air was still, heavy with that strange quiet that sits between reflection and loneliness. I thought of him—the person who adds activity to my life but not depth. We run together, try new restaurants, and share banter that fills the silence. He pushes me out of my physical comfort zone, but not my emotional one. - [Repetition Compulsion: America’s Gun Ritual](https://www.wbcp.org/psychbyte/repetition-compulsion-americas-gun-ritual/) - In a quiet Minneapolis church, children bowed their heads in prayer. By the time they lifted them, two were dead and seventeen wounded. Annunciation Catholic Church joins America’s grim roll call of mass shootings—a list so long it numbs more than it shocks. This was the 286th in 2025 alone. - [An Analyst Does Yoga](https://www.wbcp.org/psychbyte/an-analyst-does-yoga/) - Warrior two is a strong, balanced, yet flexible pose–a neutral stance, grounded to reality, allowing for grace. I first need to root down but not be locked in. I must be able to straighten and bend. By imagining that I am pulling my feet toward each other, I enter the isometric, generating force while remaining still. Ideally, I become immovable in the face of distractions. With my arms I reach in both directions and encompass. I face forward but bend backward to be greeted by a heart-opening surprise. - [Learning from Infant Observation (Re-Issue)](https://www.wbcp.org/psychbyte/learning-from-infant-observation-re-issue/) - Having the courage and, perhaps, confidence to say what we see in front of our eyes and then to be curious about it may sound simple, but it is not. - [Rhythms of Baseball (Re-issue)](https://www.wbcp.org/psychbyte/rhythms-of-baseball-2/) - The rhythms of baseball are the rhythms of analytic therapy are the rhythms of life. - [Rhythms of Baseball](https://www.wbcp.org/psychbyte/rhythms-of-baseball/) - The rhythms of baseball are the rhythms of analytic therapy are the rhythms of life. - [Up Close and Personal](https://www.wbcp.org/psychbyte/up-close-and-personal/) - Biennially, the National Portrait Gallery fosters a competition where artists around the country submit intimate portrayals of a human being – sometimes themselves.

I have two sisters and have always been especially close to sister number two, Patti. It could be said that we are close because we are nearer in age, but really, we are close because we are pretty much on the same wavelength. We enjoy a lot of the same things including guffawing over clever memes. We like to laugh. - [DARKness IS SADness](https://www.wbcp.org/psychbyte/darkness-is-sadness/) - An important part of a psychoanalytic treatment is discovery.

First, that Shakespeare can teach psychoanalytic therapists—and others—a great deal about people: about our deepest feelings; about our closest relationships; about our struggles to understand ourselves and others. - [First Love*](https://www.wbcp.org/psychbyte/first-love/) - Emotions matter. Pretending that emotions do not exist creates dissonant background music that, eventually, cannot be drowned out by pleasurable distractions. - [The Calculus of Cognitive Loss or It’s So Much Harder When You Can’t Grieve](https://www.wbcp.org/psychbyte/the-calculus-of-cognitive-loss-or-its-so-much-harder-when-you-cant-grieve/) - SCENE: A sterile hospital lounge furnished with couches, chairs, a TV and a card table.
