By Categories: EVENTS, Psychoanalysis

Dear Colleagues,

Power in organizational life is rarely straightforward and much of what shapes how it’s used, shared, or abused operates outside conscious awareness. For leaders navigating today’s complex organizational landscape, developing that awareness is essential.

This fall, APsA and the International Psychoanalytical Association (IPA) are co-presenting the fourth iteration of the CLOS Advanced Leadership Seminar. This year, we are pleased to offer a streamlined six-week format at $199 (18 CME/CE credits). Continue reading 18 CE Credits | Advanced Leadership Seminar Starts October 9

 OPEN HOUSE & CLINICAL PRESENTATION OPEN TO THOSE CONSIDERING POSTGRADUATE TRAINING with MITPP

THE METROPOLITAN INSTITUTE FOR TRAINING IN PSYCHOANALYTIC PSYCHOTHERAPY:
OPEN HOUSE & CLINICAL PRESENTATION OPEN TO THOSE CONSIDERING POSTGRADUATE TRAINING
HOW CAN EXPERIENCE IN ANOTHER PROFESSION BE DEEPENED AND INTEGRATED THROUGH PSYCHOANALYTIC TRAINING?

Psychoanalytic training changes how a person understands relationships, motivation, emotion, conflict, and development, allowing previous professional experience to take on new meaning. This presentation explores how my earlier work as a jury and trial consultant informs — and contrasts with — my current work as a therapist trained in psychoanalytic psychotherapy. In jury selection, consultants must form quick, high-stakes impressions about potential jurors’ biases and decision-making tendencies, often within minutes and under significant time pressure. Psychoanalytic treatment, by contrast, requires a disciplined slowing down: tolerating uncertainty, suspending premature conclusions, and allowing meaning to emerge over time. This presentation will discuss how the shift from rapid evaluative judgment to sustained analytic listening reshaped my clinical stance, especially during my early training. Learning not to approach therapy like a one-day jury selection process — but instead as a gradual, unfolding inquiry — required developing patience and comfort with ambiguity. Drawing on examples from both Continue reading  OPEN HOUSE & CLINICAL PRESENTATION OPEN TO THOSE CONSIDERING POSTGRADUATE TRAINING with MITPP

SEEKING ASYLUM – TWICE AS LIKELY with MITPP

A CEU- APPROVED ONLINE WORKSHOP  SEEKING ASYLUM – TWICE AS LIKELY  PRESENTER: SUSAN McNAMARA, MD

Freud fled from Vienna to London in 1938, terrified after the Gestapo picked up his daughter, Anna. It was not easy to get the Freuds the necessary immigration permits from the British government and even more difficult to extricate the Freuds from Nazi Vienna. Ernest Jones applied pressure through diplomatic channels and the Nazis needed to be bribed. Psychoanalysts from Austria and Germany fled to Britain, Switzerland, the United States, and Argentina, essentially anywhere they could gain Continue reading SEEKING ASYLUM – TWICE AS LIKELY with MITPP

ONLINE WORKSHOP: PREPARING FOR THE NEW YORK LP EXAM with MITPP

ONLINE WORKSHOP: PREPARING FOR THE NEW YORK LP EXAM:  A   OCUSED, STEP-BY-STEP APPROACH TO PASSING WITH CONFIDENCE
PRESENTER: BRIAN KLOPPENBERG, LP, MFA

This workshop will teach participants a number of skills: It will help in writing case narratives for the New York State LP exam, prepare for the actual writing of each narrative at the testing site, and navigate the testing situation itself. We will begin with a close examination of the various sections of the LP exam, question by question, in order to build case narratives that eventuate in passing the exam. Each case narrative should have its own internal logic, and we will talk about how to find and develop that logic. Having helped a number of candidates from several different institutes to pass the exam, I have a strong sense of what the readers of the case narratives are looking for, as well as some common mistakes that can be avoided without too much trouble. Participants are welcome to submit some of their sample answers ahead of time and we can work on these during the workshop. Helpful advice will be offered for what to do next once the narrative has been written, both in the days leading up to the exam and when at the testing site. This interactive workshop will allow plenty of time for questions and answers with the participants.

Learning Objectives:
Participants will: 1) understand more effective ways to think about the format of the New York State LP exam, 2) begin to construct a case narrative according to an internal psychoanalytic logic, 3) identify various mistakes that are best avoided in order to obtain optimal results on the exam, and 4) identify various test-taking strategies both for the days leading up to the exam and while writing up the narrative at a testing site.

Few figures in psychology have been as influential—or as controversial—as Sigmund Freud. For decades many of his ideas were dismissed as speculative and unscientific. Yet developments in modern neuroscience are prompting a surprising reassessment. Continue reading The Only Cure with Presenter Professor Mark Solms at CFS
