The focus will be on clinical practice\, theoretical challenges\, and non-clinical applications of psychoanalytic theory; all presentations are intended to deepen attendees’ ability to think psychoanalytically. Each session will begin with a presentation followed by questions and answers and open discussion\, with the intention of facilitating relaxed\, informal peer exchange. \nDiscussion begins at 11am Central Time at NOBPC or Zoom \nPsychoanalytic thinking about termination has shifted away from idealized and homogenous models and towards recognizing limitations\, difference\, and uncertainty. This presentation will describe common experiences like unexpected\, unilateral\, or forced terminations and their impact on both therapists and patients. Dr. Sibrack will summarize some ideals of a therapeutic termination phase and review common features in other types of endings that may lead to countertherapeutic activity. Case material\, examining specific instances of disillusionment and limitations in therapy\, will be complemented by a focused review of literature to highlight ways that therapists can anticipate issues surrounding difficult terminations\, avoid defensive action\, keep the patient experience in mind\, and promote an experience of growth. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nSummarize different types of endings that commonly occur in psychotherapy and analysis\nDiscuss common expressions of transference and countertransference that may appear as treatment comes to an end\, specifically when termination is forced or unilateral\nDemonstrate how confrontations with limitations and disillusionment in ending a therapy can facilitate growth and/or healing in both analyst and analysand\n\n  \nPlease join us at NOBPC or via Zoom.

The focus will be on clinical practice\, theoretical challenges\, and non-clinical applications of psychoanalytic theory; all presentations are intended to deepen attendees’ ability to think psychoanalytically. Each session will begin with a presentation followed by questions and answers and open discussion\, with the intention of facilitating relaxed\, informal peer exchange. \nDiscussion begins at 11am Central Time at NOBPC or Zoom \nPsychotherapists and psychoanalysts often struggle to accurately identify and understand the developmental stages of their patients\, particularly those with histories of trauma. This presentation addresses professional competencies around utilizing countertransference therapeutically and assessing changes in countertransference over time as an indicator of therapeutic change. This single case presentation will attempt to demonstrate how the shifting internal experience of the therapist’s mind\, in reaction to the patient’s developmental needs\, serves to signal the therapist that maturation is occurring. Using clinical material\, three distinct developmental stages will be described and explored as the patient and therapist move from a psychotic-like state of organization\, through an “acting out” phase\, and finally into a symbolic state of mind. Theoretic concepts\, linked to each stage\, will further aim to expand on the understanding of the developmental process. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDescribe how to identify shifts in clinical material and how these shifts are linked to countertransference experience\nDescribe how to differentiate countertransference that accurately reflects the patient’s experience from countertransference that interferes with understanding the patient\nApply theoretical frameworks to understand the dynamics of the therapeutic relationship and the patient’s developmental trajectory\n\n Dr. Bolger is a clinical psychologist with over 10 years of experience in private practice. She is in Adult Psychoanalytic training at NOBPC and has organized and contributed to our speaker series for many years. Her past presentations added enthusiasm and sparked people’s interest in countertransference ideas. \nPlease join us at NOBPC or via Zoom. Participation is open to all.

Each session will begin with a presentation followed by questions and answers and open discussion\, with the intention of facilitating relaxed\, informal peer exchange. \n Discussion begins at 11am Central Time at NOBPC or Zoom \n With training in Psychiatry\, Psychoanalysis and Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy\, Dr Anson presents a firsthand account of primary process material using medicalized ketamine\, the conflicting medical\, psycholytic and psychedelic models of treatment\, and what psychedelics stands to teach psychoanalytic and non-psychoanalytic communities about the unconscious mind.\nDr. Anson will provide details on the research into the neuroscience behind how we think it helps\, and the implications for therapy because of what ketamine research is teaching us about the unconscious mind. \nDr. Anson’s paper and information presented will dispel some suspicions about an FDA approved treatment\, and help all practitioners distinguish and think critically about three different approaches to ketamine\, the medical approach\, the psychological/psycholytic approach and the psychedelic approach. The paper will also educate about the risks and harms of ketamine and the risk of ketamine remaining outside clinical and therapeutic settings. \nLearning Objectives:\n· Participants will be able to explain the difference between psycholytic psychotherapy and psychedelic psychotherapy.\n· Participants will be able explain the proposed therapeutic mechanism of action of ketamine in terms of the default mode network and neurogenesis. \n Andrew Anson\, MD is a board-certified psychiatrist\, psychoanalyst\, and teaching faculty at Tulane University and New Orleans-Birmingham Psychoanalytic Center.

The focus will be on clinical practice\, theoretical challenges\, and non-clinical applications of psychoanalytic theory; all presentations are intended to deepen attendees’ ability to think psychoanalytically. Each session will begin with a presentation followed by questions and answers and open discussion\, with the intention of facilitating relaxed\, informal peer exchange. \n Discussion begins at 11am Central Time at NOBPC or Zoom \n This single case presentation will explore how emerging artificial intelligence (AI) chat technology should be considered as a self-object and regarded as a potential player in object relations for patients who rely heavily on the use of AI. Using clinical material\, the presenter will demonstrate how a transferential oedipal dynamic can emerge in treatment\, with AI functioning as the digital third. Specific countertransference experiences including feeling competitive with the AI third will be discussed. \nThe presenter will summarize literature reviewing the “interpersonal age of digital objects” as discussed by Kahoud (2023). Additional clinical material examining narcissistic transference will be discussed alongside queer psychoanalytic themes discussing liquidness of self. Bion’s work in “Container and Contained” will be discussed as we consider for this patient the symbolic function of holes and tunnels\, which in all bodies contain and discharge many elements: mother’s milk\, blood\, ejaculate. \nTogether we will consider the case’s context of rigid sociocultural “hard” boundaries as source of childhood shame related to sexual orientation\, continuing as internalized adult shame while harboring a stigmatized diagnosis as secret\, and appreciate how the patient seeks compromise formations which favor liquidity. Finally\, we will discuss the therapist’s work as the process of seeking to be a flexible Bionian container\, a good-enough circle. \nLearning Objectives:\n• Identify the clinical utility of screening for the presence of nontraditional “digital” object relations in clinical material and consider the relevance of these “relationships” to formulations which involve difficulties with oedipalization and digital rivals.\n• Describe how narcissistic transference involving fantasies of infection serve multiple defensive functions.\n• Link imagery as poets might to consider what Bionic beta-elements\, or unthought thoughts\, are alive in presented clinical material. \n Rachel Hammer\, MD completed a Masters in Fine Arts in Creative Nonfiction during medical school at Mayo Clinic\, and completed combined training in 2020. She has joined the Southeast Louisiana Veterans Affairs division of Primary Care\, and serves as Psychiatry Clerkship Director for the Tulane School of Medicine.

Participants will watch psychosexually themed films and participate in professional-led discussions analyzing the material in terms of psychopathology and treatment. \n Screening begins at 2pm Central Time at NOBPC\nDiscussion begins at 3:45pm Central Time at NOBPC or Zoom \nIn what many consider to be the first film in the home invasion horror genre\, “Lady In A Cage” (1964) is an audacious and prescient exploration of whether one can ever feel truly at home in a society unraveling at the seams. We are introduced to the privileged world of Cornelia Hilyard\, “safely” ensconced in tranquil surroundings following an unusual farewell to her son. This domestic scene is soon interrupted by a rogue’s gallery of archetypal villains\, but the audience is invited to consider what can happen when one learns a monster may already be inside.\nWhile Oedipal themes are manifest\, our discussion will read this film utilizing two specific conceptual perspectives. We will consider the symbolism of the home itself utilizing Freud’s conceptualization of the uncanny\, which stands in opposition to the German word “heimlich” (“familiar\,” “belonging to the home”). We will apply elements of the uncanny to this film\, how the characters go about their business\, and consider how these dynamics affect work with our patients when they feel their reality or very selves being invaded.\nWe will also consider the proposition of feminist psychologist Dorothy Dinnerstein who argues in her seminal work The Mermaid and the Minotaur (1976) that historical divisions of gender roles\, and the compartmentalization that is required to sustain these arrangements\, create a relentless “suicidal” dehumanization process. \nLearning Objectives:\n• Understand Freud’s concept of the uncanny and how that affects patient experiences and sense of self\n• Understand Dinnerstein’s argument about historical divisions of gender roles and how these arrangements relate to conscious and unconscious dehumanization processes\n• Assess Cornelia’s intrapsychic conflicts and shift in self-states utilizing Freud’s Oedipus Complex \n Jon Dimond\, Ph.D. received his doctorate in clinical psychology from The New School for Social Research in New York City. Prior to moving to New Orleans\, he held an Assistant Professor appointment in the Department of Leadership\, Ethics\, and Law at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis\, Maryland from 2017-2020 where he taught courses in abnormal psychology and human behavior. Dr. Dimond is a licensed clinical psychologist in the District of Columbia and the states of New York\, Virginia\, and Louisiana. Although his practice is broadly oriented toward general adult psychotherapy\, he has specialized training in treatments for severe personality disorders and trauma. Dr. Dimond additionally has an extensive research and clinical background working with individuals who identify as transgender\, genderqueer\, gender non-conforming\, and gender non-binary. \n**If you wish to join only for the discussion\, please watch the film prior to joining** \n \nIf joining for the discussion only\, please arrive at NOBPC by 3:40pm or join the Zoom link. \nThe film is available to rent on several streaming services. \nAttendance is free but pre-register by emailing nobpcenter@gmail.com. \nZoom registration ends 24 hours before the event and is only available for the discussion portion. \n1.5 CME credits is $10 for NOBPC members and $15 for non-members. \n \n \n\n\n\n CME Fee\n\n\nNOBPC Member $10.00 USDNon-Member $15.00 USD\n\n\n Attendee’s Name and Degree\n\n\n\n\n\n Email Address\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nThis 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 American Psychoanalytic Association and NOBPC.

The young hero arrives on the scene\, rescues Erika from her mother and brings her to erotic life so that love can triumph. Except that is not at all what happens. \nOur discussion of the “The Piano Teacher” centers on Erika’s erotic perversion and the intra-psychic conflicts from which it springs. We will explore Erika’s perversion as both a compromise formation managing the conflict between id and superego demands and a result of the inescapable chains of maternal dominance and jouissance described by Lacan. \nParticipants will learn about Freud’s account of perversions as “abnormal” sexual impulses that escape repression and sublimation\, transformations of Freud’s concept of perversion into an erotically gratifying defense\, and Lacan’s developmental theory of perversion as an incomplete separation from the “mOther” aided by the absence of “father as Law.” Together we will consider the roles of fantasy\, compromise formation\, jouissance\, desire and lack in the film and the actions of its central characters: Erika\, the mother and Walter. \nLearning Objectives:\n• Summarize Freud’s theory of perversion as “the negative of neurosis”\n• Describe revisions of Freud’s theory and the recasting of perversion as an erotically gratifying defense following sexual prohibition\n• Describe Lacan’s concepts of jouissance\, desire and lack and how they are represented within the film\n• Assess Erika’s intrapsychic conflicts and perversion by applying both classical and Lacanian theories of the perverse \n Helene Greece\, LCSW\, SEP is in private practice in New Orleans. She has completed the Studies in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Program at NOBPC and is credentialed as a Somatic Experience Practitioner.

It is any person marked as a foreigner–an “other”–to an established (and safe) way of life. Think of the black teen\, the immigrant worker\, or the trans student who is deemed a threat to this order and targeted for punishment. But as the psychoanalyst Julia Kristeva reminds us\, the foreigner doesn’t come from without but arises from within\, for we are all strangers to ourselves. \nOur discussion of the Under the Skin screening will introduce viewers to the psychoanalytic notion of alienation from humanist (classical Freudian and relational theory) and posthumanist (contemporary French psychoanalytic) perspectives. Under the Skin follows an alien (played by Scarlett Johansson) and the people and places she encounters on earth. The film explores the boundaries of self-other against the backdrop of sexuality and violence\, and queries how to represent the unrepresentable dimensions of the life and death drives. Participants will be asked to reflect on and discuss how these ideas relate to our clinical and research practices. \nLearning Objectives:\n• To differentiate between repression\, dissociation\, and unformulated experiences\n• To understand Freud’s concepts of life/death drive\, and instincts and their vicissitudes\n• To understand the relationship between pleasure/unpleasure \nTravis Tanner\, PhD\, LMSW\, ASW works with adolescents and young adults in a psychoanalytically-informed treatment center in Los Angeles.

Participants will watch psychosexually themed films and participate in professional-led discussions analyzing the material in terms of psychopathology and treatment. Our discussion of the Fight Club screening will introduce viewers to a model of the masochistic personality (Jack\, played by Edward Norton) and ask them to reflect on the clinical and cultural meanings of perversion. Participants will be introduced to contemporary conceptions of perversion as a developmental stage rather than a pathological condition. Participants will be asked to reflect on the healthy expression of aggression and masochism within human relationships\, and how destigmatizing perversion can help clinicians better understand and empower their patients. Learning Objectives: • Describe and diagnose Jack’s (Edward Norton) masochism and put it in a developmental context • Recite non-stigmatizing definitions of masochism and perversion • Provide examples of the healthy expression of aggression and masochism within human relationships • Use Lacanian concepts to reframe and destigmatize clients’ identities and experiences Dr. Andrew Ansen is a psychiatrist and certified psychoanalyst with interests in relational psychoanalysis and Lacan’s theory of perversion. \nAttendance is free but pre-register by emailing nobpcenter@gmail.com.

All attendees will receive a 3 hour CME certificate. This is a hybrid event. Please choose to join us at Loyola University (details below) or via Zoom. Pre-registration is required and will end Friday\, March 3 at 7pm Central time. \nDo you have a plan in place if you were to get injured or die? Who would contact your clients? How would you manage the records and billing? How do you make a plan that maintains good ethical practice? Have you been avoiding making these plans or haven’t even considered the possibility of a disrupted practice? Come to this Professional Will Workshop\, earn Ethics CME\, and walk away with a solid plan for your professional will to be put in place. \nIn the event of death or disability or other unexpected circumstances that would prevent a clinician from continuing to provide services\, many tasks typically need to be completed\, which should be set forth in the clinician’s Professional Will. Deb Henson\, attorney and LCSW\, will address the ethical obligations of therapists to engage in advance planning for such an unexpected event. Deb will lecture on specific ethical\, clinical\, & legal challenges\, including a thorough analysis of methods to protect client confidentiality. Unconscious resistance to this task is understandable and we will discuss various facets of this issue. Participants will be invited to share their ideas\, experience\, and thoughts about this evolving ethical aspect of practice so often overlooked. The workshop will cover the entire process of planning and creating the Professional Will\, implementing advance team preparation\, and incorporating notice to clients by amending Intake paperwork. Participants will have time to create their own first draft. Although questions will be welcomed throughout the seminar\, some time will also be left at the end for final questions or discussion. \nLearning objectives: \n• Discuss the ethical obligations requiring the clinician to create a Professional Will \n• Describe the ethical responsibilities relevant to writing a Professional Will \n• Identify the elements to be included in a Professional Will \n• Analyze the specific ethical\, clinical\, and legal challenges regarding a clinician’s unexpected exit from practice \n• Demonstrate the need to notify existing and new clients of the Professional Will and the need to tread carefully regarding notifying former clients due to privacy concerns \n \nVIRTUAL (ZOOM) REGISTRATION ENDS Friday\, March 3 at 7pm Central time. We can accept walk-in registrations at Loyola. Please bring a check for the registration fee. \nDeborah (Deb) Henson is a LCSW (Tulane School of Social Work\, MSW) and lawyer in Louisiana and Colorado\, specializing in mental health licensing defense and risk prevention consultation. Deb’s hybrid background (clinician and lawyer) gives her a unique perspective from which she offers practical\, ethical solutions to high-risk clinical and legal situations that therapists encounter frequently. Deb offers webinars on self-protective\, ethical clinical practice several times a year through her training business – Beyond Ethics\, LLC. Deb also writes a Mental Health Newsletter addressing current concerns of clinicians from her consultation and defense practice\, reviewing board meetings (SW\, LPC)\, and alerting therapists to pertinent changes in the law or upcoming trainings. p> \nThis 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 American Psychoanalytic Association and NOBPC.

Travis Tanner PhD will present an analytic case from his current practice. \nThe presentation will explore the dilemma of working with a false-self presentation. More specifically\, the client in this case enacts a relational pattern in which he habitually accommodates to another’s expectations\, feels coerced and resentful\, but has trouble identifying his own desires and motivations. He feels most familiar to himself when he is passively opposed to someone else. He could benefit from learning other routes to feeling like himself and being with others. Attention will be devoted to how this specific relational pattern is enacted in the transference and countertransference. \nPresentation of case material will alternate with group discussion. \nLearning Objectives: \n• Describe the self-perpetuating nature of an accommodating relational pattern. \n• Become more adept at identifying relational patterns in the therapeutic process. \nTravis Tanner teaches writing at Tulane University and is a 4th year Clinical Associate in the Adult Psychoanalytic Training Program at the New Center for Psychoanalysis in Los Angeles. In addition\, he is a member at the New Orleans-Birmingham Psychoanalytic Center where he coordinates the annual film series. Some of his clinical and research interests include: theories of thinking\, metaphors of the mind\, creativity\, and new approaches that expand the theory of psychoanalysis and broaden the populations that we engage. \nFee for 2 CME credits: $15 for NOBPC members; $25 non-members \n \n\n\n\nRegistration Fee\n\n\nNOBPC Member $15.00 USDNon-Member $25.00 USD\n\n\nAttendee’s Name and Degree\n\n\n\n\n\nEmail Address\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nIf you prefer to pay via check\, please email nobpcenter@gmail.com. \nThis 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 American Psychoanalytic Association and NOBPC.

This meeting is virtual. Pre-registration is required. \n Contemporary psychodynamic treatment approaches tend to be insensitive to the effects of macro-social factors on the intra-psychic and inter-psychic functioning of persons of color. Racism and its handmaiden capitalism will be explored in relation to institutional practices\, conflict and reparative acts. This talk endeavors to identify sociocultural factors that may impinge on responsiveness to psychoanalytic treatment and psychoanalytic training. Through understanding connections between racism\, capitalism\, and suffering\, aspects of institutional organization will be examined for their reproduction of certain limitations and harm. Learners will be able to consider possible alternatives for both clinical and educational practices.\nLearning objectives:\n• Understand the psychodynamics of racism in relation to capitalism\n• Understand the intrapsychic and intrapsychic implications for the work with persons of color\n• Understand the implications for organizational atonement and reparation \nREGISTRATION \n\n\n \n\n\nRegistration Fee (includes CME)\n\n\nMember $30.00 USDNon-Member $50.00 USDStudent $15.00 USD \n\n\nName and Degree\n\n\n\n\n\nEmail Address\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf you prefer to pay via check\, please email nobpcenter@gmail.com. \n C.

All attendees will receive a 2 hour CME certificate. This meeting is virtual. Pre-registration is required. \nThis presentation begins with a short history of the concept of unconscious bias. Dr. Pellegrini will track the legal\, educational\, and therapeutic attempts to remedy unconscious bias and the ferocious political attacks on such efforts. One such paradigmatic example was President Trump’s October 2020 executive order that effectively banned any training intended to eliminate unconscious bias at any workplace in the US that received federal monies (a ban that affected nearly every college and university in the country). Although President Biden rescinded this executive order within his first days in office\, the concept of unconscious bias and the practice of unconscious bias training remain controversial – and not only to the political right. For example\, in 1987\, legal scholar Charles Lawrence III\, introduced the notion of unconscious bias into legal theory in a paper that has become foundational to the movement known as Critical Race Theory. Lawrence has more recently expressed his concerns that a focus on unconscious bias has taken attention away from addressing systemic and ongoing racial subordination. Alongside this trenchant legal critique\, we could also consider psychoanalytic pressures on the notion of unconscious bias\, asking whether bias is something that could be eliminated if located in\, and then extracted from\, the unconscious. In this presentation\, by contrast\, Dr. Pellegrini argues that the very language of unconscious bias promises to free us from prejudice by making racial\, gender\, and sexual stereotypes “conscious.” But this impossible hope ignores the unconscious forces magnetized by racism (Holland\, Saketopoulou). Putting psychoanalysis into conversation with Critical Race Theory and queer of color critique\, Dr. Pellegrini challenges some of the enticing\, yet simplistic solutions promised us by conceptualizations of unconscious bias\, offering a different analytics that may more helpfully intervene by foregrounding the problem of whiteness and its investments by racism.\n\nLearning objectives:\n1. To become familiar with contemporary debates over “unconscious bias” and “unconscious bias training.”\n2. To put these contemporary debates into a longer historical frame.\n3. To describe – from an anti-racist perspective — the limits of unconscious bias training.\n4. To put psychoanalysis to work alongside Critical Race Theory and Queer of Color Critique to consider the enduring problem of systemic racism. \nREGISTRATION \n\n\n \n\n\nRegistration Fee (includes CME)\n\n\nMember $30.00 USDNon-Member $50.00 USDStudent $15.00 USD \n\n\nName and Degree\n\n\n\n\n\nEmail Address\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf you prefer to pay via check\, please email nobpcenter@gmail.com. \n Ann Pellegrini is Professor of Performance Studies and Social and Cultural Analysis at NYU. Her books and articles traverse several disciplines and interdisciplines\, but one through-line is an abiding interest in exploring how feelings are lived\, experienced\, and communicated between and across bodies—and with what risks and possibilities for self and others. Another is the value of the aesthetic for repairing democratic social life. She has written extensively about religion\, sexuality\, and US public life.

All attendees will receive a 3 hour CME certificate. This meeting is virtual. Pre-registration is required. \nThe tripartite familial structure of the oedipal complex has been central to Freudian understandings of the psychoanalytic subject. In the early 1950’s\, however\, Jacques Lacan introduces a revised reading of the structural relation between father\, mother and child by presenting death as a fourth term that determines the subject’s mythic relation to the self and others. By working through a rereading of the case of the Rat Man in his lecture “The Neurotic’s Individual Myth\,” Lacan shows how obsessional neurosis reveals deeper layers of myth that may shape subjectivity even across generations. This presentation will focus on understanding the mythical psychic structures expressed in American race relations and will investigate how myths about race position racialized individuals within oedipal relations of Eros and aggression that are fundamentally determined by deep psychic relations to the fourth term applied by Lacan to the oedipal dynamic\, the factor of death that defines a fundamental relation to subjectivity and alterity. We will work through a reading of the mythic structure of race in America by returning to Freud and Lacan’s interpretation of the Rat Man and then we will advance toward a discussion of race in contemporary acts of police violence as well as will engage racial representations in the fiction of African American author Ralph Ellison. \nLearning Objectives:\n• To summarize how Lacan rethinks the oedipal complex through neurosis and death\n• To describe how death becomes imbricated with myth to shape psychic fears and obsessions\n• To analyze how the static four-part oedipal structure acts as a frame into which racial others are actively inserted \nREGISTRATION \n\n\n \n\n\nRegistration Fee (includes CME)\n\n\nMember $30.00 USDNon-Member $50.00 USDStudent $15.00 USD \n\n\nName and Degree\n\n\n\n\n\nEmail Address\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf you prefer to pay via check\, please email nobpcenter@gmail.com. \nSheldon George\, PhD is a Professor of English\, a Lacanian theorist and a scholar of African-American literature.

All attendees will receive a 2 hour CME certificate. This meeting is virtual. Pre-registration is required. \nUsing the social meme of “first world problems” as an opening\, this paper articulates a continuous field of psychoanalysis which extends from the individual to the social\, a field demarcated by a sense of place and materiality. It problematizes the closed-door mentality of institutional psychoanalysis\, arguing for a different future for psychoanalysis in the 21st century Thinking of psychoanalysis in this way\, as an extended field\, opens the door to conceiving of ways of practicing that are typically neglected in our theorizing\, both within conventional dyadic work in the consulting room and well beyond\, to community psychoanalysis. But this broader way of conceptualizing psychoanalytic practice also troubles us with ethical considerations\, since we always close the door on something or\, more importantly\, on someone. These ideas are illustrated by clinical examples. \nLearning Objectives:\n1. Describe two registers or domains of the unconscious and give examples of how they present in clinical work.\n2. Critique the conventional notion of the psychoanalytic frame and contrast it to the idea of demarcation of the social field. \nFrancisco J. González\, MD\, is Faculty and Personal & Supervising Analyst at the Psychoanalytic Institute of Northern California. He has worked as staff psychiatrist and supervisor at Instituto Familiar de la Raza\, a clinic for Latino immigrants in San Francisco\, for over 20 years.

D. Title: “Atrocities and Atrocity Narratives: Their Intergenerational Effects” The history of warfare is replete with actual atrocities and with atrocity narratives. The first are visited upon actual persons\, the second are provocative images and stories about atrocious actions done against innocent victims. State actors use these images to induce outrage\, to provoke retaliation against the enemy\, and to mobilize for war. Both ancient religious authors and contemporary politicians exploit the power of atrocity narratives for similar purposes. Clinicians deal with the effects of atrocities committed against persons whom we treat as patients. We also deal with the effects of narrations about atrocities on second and third generations. Children who learn of atrocities committed against family members (or co-religionists) often struggle to metabolize fantasies about those actions. \nPresenter: Matthew Shatzman\, MA. Title: “I Hate\, Therefore I am.” Hatred is a part of human development that can serve profoundly destructive ends\, as well as constructive ones. We’ll explore the spectrum and nuances of this complex affect state and how its manifestations influence both the individual and the collective. \nPresenter: Rev. Linda A. Horrell\, M.Div.\, MSW. Title: “Apologies and Forgiveness: The ones that must not be named.” In the Harry Potter tales\, the villain is referred to as He Who Must Not Be Named. Considering the void of psychoanalytic publications which discuss the benefits of apologies and forgiveness\, it leaves us to wonder why. Is forgiveness a villain of treatment? Are giving apologies and seeking forgiveness a psychoneurotic response to unsolved problems or solutions to them? The presentation will be a call to psychoanalysts to consider the benefits of co-creating a space of working with suffering\, forgiveness and reconciliation. We will look at clinical aspects that facilitate relief and change for the sufferer and the offender. Additionally\, there is a greater challenge to consider the expansion of these concepts beyond the individual to achieving psycho-social justice for groups\, communities and global human rights to heal from expressions of violence and aggression.

Dr. Griffin will use Virginia Woolf’s novel\, To the Lighthouse\, to teach engaged\, embodied analytic listening. This novel is unrivaled in capturing the interdependence of subjectivity and intersubjectivity that informs contemporary clinical psychoanalysis. Woolf achieves this feat by generating states of consciousness within and among characters\, which by way of imaginative empathy\, the reader can enter and occupy for a while. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nExpand their capacities to listen for and identify the multi-sensorial therapeutic experience and to make fuller use of countertransference as a source of communication regarding the patient’s inner and relational worlds.\nMake use of this more visceral view of the transference-countertransference to discover more precise language that fits the patient’s states of consciousness\, affective tone\, and embodied sense of self.  \nApply these skills in the service of better attuned therapeutic engagement with patients\, by which to facilitate an analytic process that not only addresses psychic conflict\, but that also provides the potential for new development.\n\nFee for 3 Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits: $45 for NOBPC members; $75 non-members \nFred Griffin\, M.D. specializes in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis in Dallas\, Texas.
