NYPSI Extension Program: Psychoanalytic Themes in Six Hollywood Films II
This course will continue the psychoanalytic exploration of Hollywood films begun in the 2020-2021 year. Once again, we will examine six films in six different genres: wartime adventure, film noir, romantic thriller, melodrama, courtroom drama and “Hollywood” movie. This year’s collection includes several films from the 1950’s during the peak years of psychoanalytic interest among filmmakers. This year we will also link each film with a thematically similar film. We begin with the universally loved and much viewed “Casablanca” (1943). Another film, “Rome Open City” (1945) deals with the same antifascist theme from a radically different perspective. “Kiss Me Deadly” (1955) is, for me, the ultimate film noir. Surprisingly, it presents a critique of the male psychology in its “manifest content”. Other films such as “Gun Crazy” (1949), operate at the same level. “Imitation of Life” (1959) uses the practice of “passing” to address racism in the context of the 1950’s. We will compare it to the contemporary film, “Passing” (2020) available on Netflix. In the guise of an entertaining thriller, “Rear Window” (1954) presents a trenchant critique of the voyeurism that is part and parcel of the Continue reading Psychoanalytic Themes in Six Hollywood Films II with Thomas Wolman, M.D. Online with NYPSI

FREUD, FANON, AND THE LANGUAGE OF POWER: IMPLICATIONS FOR THEORY AND TECHNIQUE WITH DANIEL JOSÉ GAZTAMBIDE, PSY.D. at MITPP
By Categories: EVENTS

The Metropolitan Institute for Training in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, The Metropolitan Center for Mental Health and The Metropolitan Society of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapists Invite you to a Scientific Meeting

Sunday, January 9, 2022 – 2:30 PM – 4:30 PM FREUD, FANON, AND THE LANGUAGE OF POWER: IMPLICATIONS FOR THEORY AND TECHNIQUE
PRESENTER: DANIEL JOSÉ GAZTAMBIDE, PSY.D.
The history of psychoanalytic technique has evolved from the intrapsychic focus on the individual, to the interpersonal focus on the person in the context of their relationships, to the further contextualizing of these in politics, culture, and identity. Despite these advances, it is notable that while technique has evolved to include both an intrapsychic and intersubjective focus (with different inflections across, for example, Contemporary Freudian, relational, and Lacanian perspectives), theoretical developments with respect to the social have not yet been integrated into clear, practical technical innovations, aside from a general call to "consider" or "reflect on" issues of race, class, gender, and sexuality in the analytic relationship.  This presentation will "return to Freud" and reposition some of the fundamentals of the psychoanalytic theory of the  unconscious, language, and subjectivity, re-read through the work of Martiniquan revolutionary psychiatrist Frantz Fanon. It will be shown that Continue reading FREUD, FANON, AND THE LANGUAGE OF POWER: IMPLICATIONS FOR THEORY AND TECHNIQUE WITH DANIEL JOSÉ GAZTAMBIDE, PSY.D. at MITPP

Supernatural and other circumventions of the natural process of conception have been an abundant wellspring for magical, mythological, and religious narratives. It was held that the widowed queen of an Egyptian pharaoh could pull his posthumous sperm into her womb to create a child. The Olympian god Zeus could procreate in all sorts of ways, including swooping down as a shower of gold into a young womb. His daughter Athena sprang full-born from his head; his son Dionysus from his thigh. And it was the wind of the Holy Ghost that inseminated a certain young virgin.

Frantz Fanon’s Black Skin, White Masks at 70 at CFS
By Categories: EVENTS

The Contemporary Freudian Society Diversity Committee Presents Frantz Fanon’s Black Skin, White Masks at 70 Sunday, January 23rd, 2022
Online via Zoom 10am-2:15pm EST (with lunch break)

Frantz Fanon’s Black Skin, White Masks (1952) is a seminal theoretical text read across disciplines. Fanon utilizes psychoanalytic thinking to understand the oppression of Black people, performances of whiteness, and to put forward a vision for a humanist and anti-colonial culture. Our event is a celebration of Fanon’s work and this important text as it approaches its 70th anniversary. As the psychoanalytic community grapples with racism in our world, clinical work, and in the field’s history, a concentrated, communal, and conversational revisiting of Black Skin, White Masks is timely and imperative.

Philosopher and Fanon scholar Lewis Gordon, PhD will give a keynote presentation outlining some of the tenets of Fanon’s thinking and work and how Continue reading Frantz Fanon’s Black Skin, White Masks at 70 at CFS

COVID MONSTER by 6Year Old Boy

“What the Children Taught Us” A Panel Discussion Four Child Treatment Vignettes Via Zoom during COVID-19
Friday, December 3, 2021 12:00-2:00pm Online via Zoom 2 CEUs Available

At the start of the COVID lockdown in March of 2020, Kim Kleinman of CFS organized an online clinical group supervision/ support group for child analysts across the country. The group met twice per week. We initially focused on clinicians’ fears and anxiety around COVID, as well as the treatment challenges of working in a brand new way via Zoom. What made this time so unique was that both our patients and their clinicians were being affected simultaneously by the impact of this terrifying virus. Fear and anxiety gave way to an exploration of trauma in real time. For many of us, perhaps not surprisingly, the children we were treating (of all ages) led the way into this new “screen” technology. We were the novices, and they were our teachers in this virtual space. The clinical frame changed nearly overnight.
