CROWDED ROOMS, EMPTY ROOMS AND EMERGENCY ROOMS: Living in Precarious Times online with IPTAR
By Categories: EVENTS

2020/2021 CONFERENCE SERIES (VIA ZOOM): CROWDED ROOMS, EMPTY ROOMS AND EMERGENCY ROOMS Living in Precarious Times.   Wednesday April 28, 2021 — 12:00-2:00 PM – 2CE’s Dislocation of the Oppressor Within: The Unconscious Phenomenology of Race Zachary Gabriel Green, PhD

When we earnestly reflect on the challenge of addressing issues of race in psychoanalytically-informed practice, we are likely to encounter our own well-defended unconscious biases towards “the other” as well as the perilous resistance of the oppressor within ourselves to examination. This talk, based on organizational cases from contrast contexts, will explore diverse efforts by these client systems to face race. Particular focus will be given to exploration of how the phenomenology of experience contributes to ways we may promote and perpetuate systems of oppression. Implications for training and treatment will be considered.

ZACHARY GREEN, PhD is Director of Leadership Development at the Nonprofit Institute and Professor of Practice in Leadership Studies at the Continue reading CROWDED ROOMS, EMPTY ROOMS AND EMERGENCY ROOMS: Living in Precarious Times online with IPTAR

Panacea or Posion: Placebos and Nocebos in Modern Medicine at the Helix Center

Panacea or Posion: Placebos and Nocebos in Modern Medicine Saturday 2:30 PM EST 20 March 2021

Placebos “work” for quite a few medical problems. But how? And what is the work they do?

What one thinks a medicine is capable of, one’s idea of that medicine, may affect us in the way “proper” medicines do. This implies that, in observing the work of a placebo we are watching an idea affect biology, the mind moving the body.

Despite the dualist notions this description elicits, where mind and body are held as separate entities, most neuroscientists, generally of a monistic bent, welcome the challenge of the placebo effect. Most insist that placebos precisely demonstrate that the mind is one with the body. Yet, Continue reading Panacea or Posion: Placebos and Nocebos in Modern Medicine at the Helix Center
