SUMMARY:Advance Ethical Planning for the Therapist’s Unexpected Departure: The Professional Will - Deborah Henson\, LCSW\, JD\, LL.M Scientific Program In-person or Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Fee to attend: $45 for NOBPC members; $75 non-members; and $25 student rate. 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.

SUMMARY:Embodied Experience and Social Rhythms: The New Frontier for Psychoanalytic Work--Steven Knoblauch\, Ph.D. Scientific Program
DESCRIPTION:Fee to attend: $30 for NOBPC members; $50 non-members; and $15 student rate. All attendees will receive a 2 hour CME certificate. This meeting is virtual. Pre-registration is required. \nMuch is currently being written about the value of attention to embodied experience as a central dimension of the psychoanalytic interaction. Additionally\, attention has been given\, increasingly\, to the social dimension\, the lived experience of the patient and also the analyst\, as inextricably woven into and out of unconscious experience. Dr. Steven Knoblauch will present his current ideas concerning the relationship between embodied experience and unconscious experience. He will lead us through an exploration of the relationships between these two registrations of experience tracing historical contributions and current applications of this relationship to an expanding approach to psychoanalytic technique. The vision and technical implications presented have significant applications for the growing body of work in community based spaces where the emotional health of\, often underserved populations\, is beginning to be addressed with psychoanalytic strategies shaped by considerations of race\, culture\, class\, language\, gender\, educational and vocational training opportunities and norms for social regulation. Dr. Knoblauch sees events such as this one as opportunities to engage in learning about and further developing such understandings and strategies. \nLearning objectives: \n•Differentiate and connect the concepts of embodied experience and unconscious experience. \n•Describe the relevance of the concept of embodied experience to work with diverse clients in community based settings. \nSteven Knoblauch\, Ph.D.\, is Clinical Adjunct Associate Professor at the Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis\, New York University. He has also taught and supervised at other institutes around the world. He is author of The Musical Edge of Therapeutic Dialogue (2000)\, co-author with Beebe\, Rustin\, and Sorter of Forms of Intersubjectivity in Infant Research and Adult Treatment (2005)\, and author of Bodies and Social Rhythms: Navigating Clinical Vulnerability and Emotional Fluidity (2021). He serves on the editorial boards of Psychoanalytic Dialogues\, Psychoanalytic Perspectives\, and Psychoanalysis\, Self\, and Context. His recent teaching and training has been focused on the interaction between unconscious processes\, embodied rhythms\, and social experience. Dr. Knoblauch continues to use his experiences as a saxophone player and his studies of Brazilian percussion to inform his work as a clinician and an educator. \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 American Psychoanalytic Association is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians. \nThe American Psychoanalytic Association designates this Live Activity for a maximum of 2 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)TM;. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity. \nIMPORTANT DISCLOSURE INFORMATION FOR ALL LEARNERS: None of the planners and presenters for this educational activity have relevant financial relationship(s)* to disclose with ineligible companies whose primary business is producing\, marketing\, selling\, re-selling\, or distributing healthcare products used by or on patients. \n*Financial relationships are relevant if the educational content an individual can control is related to the business lines or products of the ineligible company. -Updated July 2021- \nPSYCHOLOGISTS AND SOCIAL WORKERS MAY RECEIVE CREDIT FOR THIS ACTIVITY WITH A CME CERTIFICATE.

SUMMARY:Lost in the Mirror: Parent-Child Psychotherapy in the Context of Assisted Reproductive Technology and Unresolved Mourning--Norka T. Malberg\, PsyD--Scientific Program
DESCRIPTION:Fee to attend: $30 for NOBPC members; $50 non-members; and $15 student rate. All attendees will receive a 2 hour CME certificate. This meeting is virtual. Pre-registration is required. \nThe emotional pain of infertility often brings about a reactivation of old losses and narcissistic vulnerabilities\, along with a sense of great helplessness\, inadequacy\, and frustration. In this context\, a supportive and facilitating environment is vital. In this presentation\, we explore the role of additional stressors like the process leading to choosing ART and the unexpected loss of the father which represent additional relational risk factors and challenge the mother’s parental reflective function. We look together at the therapist’s experience working with a mother and her young son trying to find each other amidst the fog of projections\, ghosts and unresolved mourning. The presentation seeks to reflect on both the inter-subjective and intra-psychic ramifications of the multiple experiences of loss and grief experienced by this dyad while using a developmental psychoanalytic lens to guide my understanding. \nLearning objectives: \n• To understand the concept of parental reflective function in the context of trauma \n• To explore\, understand and learn about the technical ramifications of contemporary developmental psychoanalysis \n• To learn about the importance of mentalizing clients from a culture and trauma lens when constructing clinical formulations \nREGISTRATION \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  \nIf you prefer to pay via check\, please email nobpcenter@gmail.com. \nNorka T.

SUMMARY:Therapeutic Work with Children and Their Parents to Address Intergenerational Transmission of Trauma--Laurel Silber\, Psy.D   Scientific Program
DESCRIPTION:Fee to attend: $30 for NOBPC members; $50 non-members; and $15 student rate. All attendees will receive a 2 hour CME certificate. This meeting is virtual. Pre-registration is required. \nIntergenerational transmission of trauma\, metaphorically referred to as haunting ghosts\, has been an elusive subject to unpack in the context of clinical work with children. How do children communicate what is on their mind about this through their play and behavior? How do we help parents with the retrieval of painful memories? Deescalating fear and re-representing past trauma create an opportunity in the new generation to build security for the child and the parent-child relationship. The clinical mind plays with paradox across different developmental levels to mentalize transmitted trauma. Attachment research and contemporary theory provide significant insights to put to use clinically. This presentation will open up this complex clinical area by formulating it with the help of relevant research findings\, poetry and clinical illustrations. \nLearning objectives: \n• Describe the relevance of children’s play as reflective space for marking the presence of transmitted trauma in the attachment context. \n• Identify the importance of the pivot to work with parental subjectivity to maintain the focus on making experience coherent and meaningful\, supporting a child’s agency. \nIn advance of this talk\, Dr. Silber has shared the following articles for consideration: \nFraiberg\, S.\, Adelson\, E.\, and Shapiro\, V. (1975) “Ghosts in the Nursery: A Psychoanalytic Approach to Impaired Infant-Mother Relationships.” Journal of the American Academy of Child Psychiatry\, 14(3): 387-421.  \nMoldawsky Silber\, L.

She is faculty and Director of the Child Relational Psychotherapy Program at the Institute for Relational Psychoanalysis of Philadelphia and immediate Past President of the Section on children and adolescents of the Division of Psychoanalysis of APA. She has presented and published original articles and chapters on the subjects of intergenerational transmission of trauma\, the importance of play to child development and child psychotherapy\, gender and childism. Her most recent writing (in press) is entitled: Parental Implication and the Expansion of the Child Relational Therapist’s Clinical Imagination. \n 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 American Psychoanalytic Association and NOBPC.

SUMMARY:Case Consultation Workshop by Travis Tanner\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:This virtual event is free to attend and pre-registration is required by emailing your name and degree to nobpcenter@gmail.com. \nThe Case Consultation Workshop is for clinicians interested in practicing psychoanalysis and psychodynamic therapy. 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.

SUMMARY:Magritte’s Mysterious Memory by Alvin Burstein\, PhD (Psychoanalytic Explorations)
DESCRIPTION:This virtual event is free to attend and pre-registration is required by emailing your name and degree to nobpcenter@gmail.com. \nThe Life and Influence of the surrealist painter\, Rene Magritte will be reviewed\, with special emphasis on the influence of his mother’s suicide on his work.  Familial suicide can have profound impact on development and creative potential that is difficult to articulate consciously and that therefore often is dealt with incompletely in treatment. \nBy focusing on familial (maternal) suicide\, participants will increase awareness of its unconscious effects and how to deal with them.  \nParticipants will become more competent in treating patients with familial suicide in their background \nThis activity will address competency in assessing and intervening with impacts of familial suicide on development and creativity\, and evaluating the effectiveness of the approach \nLearning Objectives: \n\n•	Describe and elaborate the influence of trauma on artistic work.\n•	Describe the multiple functions of memory for life events.  \nFee for 2 CME credits: $15 for NOBPC members; $25 non-members \n\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\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.

SUMMARY:Psycho-Social Factors that Influence Mental Health Treatment Outcomes for Persons of Color: Psychodynamic Consequences and Intervention Possibilities--C. Jama Adams\, PhD Scientific Program
DESCRIPTION:Fee to attend: $30 for NOBPC members; $50 non-members; and $15 student rate. All attendees will receive a 2 hour CME certificate. 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.

SUMMARY:Beyond Woke: Why the Focus on Unconscious Bias Will Not Address Systemic Racism-- Ann Pellegrini\, PhD Scientific Presentation
DESCRIPTION:Fee to attend: $30 for NOBPC members; $50 non-members; and $15 student rate. 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.

SUMMARY:Freud\, Lacan and Race in Contemporary America-- Sheldon George\, PhD Scientific Presentation
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Svenson Lectureship Fund  \nFee to attend: $30 for NOBPC members; $50 non-members; and $15 student rate. 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.

SUMMARY:First World Problems and Gated Communities of the Mind: An Ethics of Place in Psychoanalysis-- Francisco González\, MD Scientific Program
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Knight Fund  \nFee to attend: $30 for NOBPC members; $50 non-members; and $15 student rate. 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. He serves on the editorial boards of Psychoanalytic Dialogues and Studies in Gender and Sexuality.  \nREGISTRATION \n\n\n \n\n\nRegistration Fee\n\n\nNOBPC Member $30.00 USDNon-Member $50.00 USDStudent $15.00 USD \n\n\nAttendee’s Name 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 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 American Psychoanalytic Association and NOBPC.

SUMMARY:Film Series:  12 Years a Slave presented by Dr. Marvin Clifford\, Ph.D.\, LCSW-BACS
DESCRIPTION:2019-2020 Film Series: The Other in Film \nIn the language of psychoanalysis\, the Other is a name for the unconscious\, that domain of human subjectivity ruled by phantasms that haunt us. It has been the project of psychoanalysis to articulate how these phantasms get displaced into the dynamics of interpersonal relationships as a defensive strategy for resisting the truth about who authors them. The films in this series explore the psychological costs of denying the Other inside each of us\, while considering the subjective and social possibilities that are opened by embracing Otherness\, as seen in the ways the language of film pushes against the limits of established discourse—social\, political\, and psychoanalytical. \nLearning Objectives:\n•	Demonstrate an understanding of certain psychoanalytic conceptualizations of subjectivity;\n•	Apply their listening and interpretation skills to analyze unconscious content; and\n•	Discuss how the language of film reflects subjective experience \nFREE EVENT \nFee for 3 CME credits: $15 for NOBPC members; $25 non-members \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.
