SUMMARY:Difficult Patients Through a Cross-Cultural Lens by Helen Ullrich\, MD\, PhD (Psychoanalysis & Culture)
DESCRIPTION:Cultural patterns in childhood socialization have an impact on the negotiation of normal narcissism\, self-image\, and autonomy. When individuals find their cultural ideals a poor fit\, they are likely to fall into the category of difficult patients\, i.e.\, patients who need life-long treatment as well as a supportive social network. This paper will examine adaptive aspects of socialized passivity among women in a South India community and its implications for two American patients with a history of anorexia nervosa.  Individuals in both cultures whose childhood socialization gave them inner security successfully utilized mentalization\, while those without inner security lacking the resources for mentalization were vulnerable for chronic psychiatric symptomatology.\nCross-cultural observations will examine the protection that socialized passivity may provide women against physical and mental abuse. As the culture changed with education for both women and men\, assertiveness rather than submission marked appropriate feminine behavior.  By comprehending the underlying psychodynamics necessitating passivity among South Indian women and the inability of some women so socialized to abandon passivity\, learners will have increased empathy for difficult patients. \nLearning Objectives:\n•	Participants will develop improved capacity for empathy through attention to sociocultural dynamics and their influence on mentalization.\n•	Participants will gain knowledge in treating patients with excessive passivity.\n•	Participants will acquire improved understanding of how cultural norms and roles influence personality development and character functioning. \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.  The American Psychoanalytic Association designates this Live Activity for a maximum of 2 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. 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 of this CME program have any relevant financial relationships to disclose.\nPsychologists and Social Workers may also receive continuing education credit for this activity if their accredited associations or boards recognize CME credits. \nAdmission is Free.\nFee for 2 CME credits: $15 for NOBPC members; $25 non-members

SUMMARY:CANCELLED:  Aggression\, Violence\, Hatred\, Apologies and Forgiveness Video Conference Panel Discussion with The St. Louis Psychoanalytic Society
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED. \nAggression\, Violence\, Hatred\, Apologies And Forgiveness \nSATURDAY APRIL 8\, 2017 8:45AM – 12:00PM \nNOBPC 3624 Coliseum St. \n*This event does not offer CME credits.* \nThis is a free event. \nPresenter: Volney Gay Ph. 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.

Using a psychoanalytic framework\, Professor McGowan shows how these films expose the dark underside of the public law\, engendering a suspicion about the law that obscures its role in grounding our freedom\, contributing to the paranoid fantasies in our political sphere.\nThe lecture is free and open to the public.  It is sponsored by Tulane University’s Department of English\, the School of Liberal Arts and the New Orleans Birmingham Psychoanalytic Center.

SUMMARY:Creative Listening and The Psychoanalytic Process-Dr. Fred Griffin-registration strongly encouraged
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Griffin will discuss creative listening and provide a conceptual framework by which works of literary fiction can be used to develop clinicians’ attunement to the expressiveness of language and to foster emotional receptivity to psychoanalytic experience. 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. He is board-certified in both\n psychiatry and psychoanalysis and is currently Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at University of Texas Southwestern\n Medical School and a Training and Supervising Analyst at the Dallas Psychoanalytic Center. Dr. Griffin is well\n published in the fields of psychotherapy\, psychoanalysis\, and narrative medicine. \nREGISTRATION FORM \nDIRECTIONS \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.
