The Psychoanalytic Fellowship at NYPSI
By Categories: EVENTS

THE PSYCHOANALYTIC FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM Navah C. Kaplan, Ph.D. Director

The Psychoanalytic Fellowship is a free, one-year program at the New York Psychoanalytic Society & Institute designed to introduce participants to modern psychoanalytic theory and practice. Fellows attend seminars twice per month.  In one seminar, invited analysts from our faculty present analytic case material and join the class discussion of the case. In the other seminar, discussion and readings are used to teach psychoanalytic principles that inform current expertise in psychoanalysis as a form of therapy, psychoanalysis as a model of how the mind works, and psychoanalysis as a method of investigating clinical data.   Students will meet over ZOOM until the Institute administration allows for meeting in person.

Application to the Fellowship is open to candidates earning doctoral degrees in psychology and social work, residents and fellows in psychiatry, and licensed clinical social workers currently pursuing advanced training or experience in psychotherapy. July 15, 2021 is the deadline for applying for the academic year October 2021 – April 2022.

Interested persons should contact Dr. Navah Kaplan at navahckaplan@gmail.com to arrange a brief phone interview.

On Voluntary Servitude Paola Mieli  With the participation of Raffaella Colombo online with Après-Coup
By Categories: EVENTS

SEMINAR: On Voluntary Servitude   Paola Mieli   With the participation of  Raffaella Colombo Saturday, May 8th, 2021 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM (EST)
In times like these, as new forms of totalitarianism are taking over everywhere, it’s necessary to reflect on humans’ inherent propensity to take joy in their own servitude. Returning to Freud’s and Lacan’s articulations of the subject of language and the social link, and that subject’s passion for ignorance, the seminar will explore the nature of the drive, masochism, and the ways the superego dictates the law one abides by. Psychoanalytic ethics can open a breach out of subjective servitude.
Suggested readings for May 8th: Xenophon, Hiero (c 430-354 BC);  Etienne de la Boétie (1530-1563), The Discourse of Voluntary Servitude; S. Freud, Group Psychology and Analysis of the Ego (1921); L. Strauss, On Tyranny, chapter IV (1948).Paola Mieli is a psychoanalyst practicing in New York City. She is the president of Après-Coup Psychoanalytic Association (New York), a member of Le Cercle Freudien (Paris), of Espace Analytique (Paris), and of the section of Psychoanalysis in Psychiatry of the World Psychiatry Association (WPA). She is the author of numerous essays on psychoanalysis Continue reading On Voluntary Servitude Paola Mieli  With the participation of Raffaella Colombo online with Après-Coup

Stress online with the Helix Center
By Categories: EVENTS

Stress: Saturday 2:30 PM EST 1 May 2021.  DUE TO COVID-19 THIS ROUNDTABLE WILL BE VIRTUAL WEBINAR STARTS 2:30PM EST ON 5/1
LINK TO REGISTER & YOUTUBE TBA A testament to its ubiquity, STRESS is woven into our very words, our thoughts and our emotions. We stress words to give them emphasis. We stress wood to make it stronger rather than splinter. And we feel distress, both when overwhelmed with dread, but also sometimes in joyous anticipation.
The chase creates stress. Loss and failure create stress. Even attaining the prize, whether chosen or befallen, can also deliver stress, and plenty, along with its winnings.
Change often means stress. Stress is the white noise of life, whether we perceive it or somehow manage to habituate to it.
Of late our culture has grown more attuned to the semiotics of stress, as it expresses itself in our brains and guts, our minds and bodies, our spirit and imagination. When it derives from a goal achieved, it may serve as fuel. But, with a pain inflicted, when choice is not possible, when we are the object Continue reading Stress online with the Helix Center
