By Categories: EVENTS

The Metropolitan Institute for Training in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, The Metropolitan Center for Mental Health andThe Metropolitan Society of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapists Invite you to a Scientific Meeting
Friday, November 16, 2018 – 7:30 PM THEM NOT US: FINDING RACIST STATES OF MIND WHERE YOU LEAST EXPECT
PRESENTER: JOSEPH REYNOSO, Ph.D.

Psychoanalytic scholars have increasingly addressed the unconscious dynamics involved in racial prejudice. Unsurprisingly, the subjects of this work are frequently persons whose personalities (or parts thereof) are understood to be categorically racist. Following the results of the 2016 election, however, many Americans were confronted by the capacity seemingly non-racist individuals have to endorse social aggression in political leadership. Dr. Reynoso will challenge the method of pursuing racial hate in the mind of “the racist.” The presentation will describe how the pragmatic efficiency of racist templates defend against the ever-present threat of intolerable anxieties in all individuals.

Instead his/her job is to create Continue reading On the Development of Representation and its Failures with Christine Anzieu, M.D. and Francis Baudry, M.D. at NYPSI

7-week Online Infant Observation Seminar at the Anni Bergman Parent-Infant Program and CFS
By Categories: EVENTS

7-WEEK ONLINE INFANT OBSERVATION SEMINAR BEGINS OCTOBER 19, 2018 Offered by the Anni Bergman Parent-Infant Program in Conjunction with the Contemporary Freudian Society Instructor: Dorinda Welle, PhD

This experiential seminar provides an introduction to parent-infant observation. The skill of close observation of parent-infant interactions has proven to be valuable in making informed, sensitive and effective assessments and in developing new techniques and interventions in parent-infant work.

Through the practice of infant observation, participants can attune to the emotional states of the infant and parent and become more aware of how the individual clinician makes sense of their observations. We will explore how this observational stance may serve to contain the dyad and the infant’s development. Continue reading 7-week Online Infant Observation Seminar at the Anni Bergman Parent-Infant Program and CFS

Many clinicians have embraced these technological advances for their convenience and promise of facilitating long distance treatment, or even local treatment conducted outside the office setting. And many patients are comfortable with distance treatment, or express a preference for it, especially younger Continue reading Psychoanalysis in the Digital Age: A Panel Discussion at NYPSI
