SUMMARY:Film Series - "X" (2022 horror movie) by Franklin Worell\, PhD & Paul Doyen\, LMSW
DESCRIPTION:Psychoanalysis and Cinema: This film screening explores the pleasure and fascination we experience when consuming horror movies and true crime media. Presenters will draw from analytic philosophy and psychoanalytic theory to explain our attraction to what is frightening and uncertain in our world. By identifying horror genres with attempts to resolve our deepest anxieties\, presenters will discuss how horror can help us understand both our clients and ourselves. \nPsychologists\, Social Workers\, and Licensed Professional Counselors may also receive continuing education credit for this activity if their accredited associations or boards recognize CME credits. \n Screening begins at 2pm Central Time at NOBPC Discussion begins at 4pm Central Time at NOBPC or Zoom \nWhy do we watch horror movies? Why do we listen to true crime podcasts? Why do we voluntarily expose ourselves to situations that frighten and disturb us? \nCome watch Ti West’s classic 2022 horror movie “X” and join us for a discussion of what attracts us to the genre of horror. \nFranklin Worell\, PhD\, will discuss the “paradox of horror\,” or the problem of why human beings derive pleasure from negative emotions like fear and disgust. He will review theories in analytic philosophy\, challenge the idea that there can be a universal theory of horror and discuss the aesthetic and philosophical pleasures of scaring ourselves. \nPaul Doyen\, LMSW\, will review psychoanalytic explanations for why we pursue uncanny experiences\, including the need to master outer dangers and resolve inner conflicts. He will also connect the horror genre to obsessive anxieties and suggest that an interest in horror media may be a hallmark of neuroticism. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nSummarize the “paradox of horror” as defined within analytic philosophy and psychoanalytic theory\nDescribe the reasons that people choose to pursue experiences that frighten and disgust them\nAnalyze the relationship between horror and mental health\, including connections to neuroticism and psychosis\n\nDr. Franklin Worell is a former student and professor of philosophy at Tulane University\, where he researched and wrote about horror as a genre. Dr. Worell is highly knowledgeable about what is known as the “paradox of horror” within analytic philosophy. His 2022 dissertation\, “Peaking Through Our Fingers: Theorizing Horror and its Appeal through its Genres\,” critiqued theories of horror as well as proposed its own Aristotelian theory of horror’s appeal. \nPaul Doyen\, LMSW\, is a psychotherapist in psychoanalytic training at the Saint Louis Psychoanalytic Institute. He works in private practice at Garden District Mental Health\, where sees several clients who have obsessions and interests involving horror and crime. Paul has a longstanding interest in horror films as well as in psychoanalytic theories around horror and the uncanny. \nAttendance is free but pre-register HERE \nPlease click HERE for registration with CME credits.

SUMMARY:Murder-Suicide in Post-Katrina New Orleans: A Perfect Storm of Multidetermined Causes - W. Scott Griffies MD\, DFAPA
DESCRIPTION:Psychoanalysis & Culture consists of presentations on topics exploring aspects of culture through a psychoanalytic lens. Topics will span humanities\, science\, as well sociocultural dynamics. The format will include a presentation by a selected speaker followed by informal group interaction between presenter and those in attendance. \nPsychologists\, Social Workers\, and Licensed Professional Counselors may also receive continuing education credit for this activity if their accredited associations or boards recognize CME credits. \nDiscussion begins at 7pm Central Time at NOBPC or Zoom \nThis applied psychoanalytic presentation explores the phenomenon of murder-suicide in post-Katrina New Orleans\, focusing on the case of Zack Bowen and Addie Hall. The aftermath of natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina often leads to increased mental health issues\, including violence and suicide. The author\, who lived and practiced psychiatry in the New Orleans French Quarter (FQ)\, was involved in a documentary about the couple\, providing a unique perspective on their tragic story. Zack Bowen\, a veteran of Iraq and Kosovo with PTSD symptoms\, and Addie Hall\, an artist with a history of abuse\, were star-crossed lovers in the post-apocalyptic FQ. In the immediate aftermath of the storm\, with the higher socioeconomic population evacuated\, the city experienced lawlessness\, but also a bond between subcultural groups seeking anarchy\, freedom\, escapism\, and avoidance of past troubles. Drawing from excerpts of the documentary and material from a book about the couple entitled Shake the Devil Off\, this presentation utilizes an object relational framework to understand the multidetermined causes of the murder-suicide. It highlights how disasters can bring individuals together in desperate situations\, destabilize social connections\, and exacerbate avoidant defenses through increased substance abuse. Furthermore\, it reveals how such traumatic events can reopen past wounds\, including PTSD and experiences of abuse\, creating a mental health crisis that extends far beyond the initial impact of the storm. It also underscores the significance of interpersonal containment of toxic projections in the aftermath of a disaster\, particularly for individuals with intrapsychic vulnerabilities. \nDr. Scott Griffies’ is a psychodynamic psychiatrist certified in psychoanalysis from the New Orleans Psychoanalytic Institute. He is from New Orleans where he was the residency director for the LSU Department of Psychiatry for many years through Hurricane Katrina. After Katrina\, he developed the New Orleans Center of Mind Body Health\, a psychiatric group practice\, in the upper French Quarter. In 2015 he relocated to Duke Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences as an Associate Professor and the Medical Director of the Psychosomatic Service at Duke Raleigh Hospital and an attending in the Duke Psychiatry Outpatient Clinic. In 2020\, he became the Medical Director for Mindpath Health\, Director of the Mind-Brain-Body Center and Director of Education. He continues to have an active psychodynamic practice with a focus on patients with psychosomatic disorders. His academic and clinical interest has been in understanding how mind\, brain and body interactions can result in problematic physical and somatic symptoms. He continues to teach within the psychodynamic course at Duke and has been honored with teaching awards throughout his career. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nList the four core stages of post-disaster recovery\nDescribe how external and internal factors of a disaster affect individuals with intrapsychic vulnerabilities\nExplain the regressive defensive use of projective identification in situations of overwhelming stress\nDiscuss an object relational perspective of murder-suicide in the context of domestic violence\n\nPlease join us at NOBPC or via Zoom. Participation is open to all. In-person space is limited so please register early. \nPlease click HERE for online registration. If you prefer to pay by check\, please email nobpcenter@gmail.com. \nFee for 1.5 CME credits: \n\nNOBPC members $15\nNon-members $25\n\nZoom registration ends 24 hours before the event. \nOptional Readings: \n\nGriffies\, W.
