Social Media: How to Develop a Practice That Works for You

The internet makes it easier to develop a private practice than ever before but harder to make it work. Patients are often difficult to engage, leave treatment prematurely, and present with serious emotional problems and clinical crises. Training at the American Institute for Psychoanalysis provides the knowledge, skills and support system necessary to thrive in private practice in the age of the internet.

The AIP training programs have been serving the complex needs of clinicians for over 77 years. Member of the American Psychoanalytic Association & International Psychoanalytical Association

Screening & Discussion of Pedro Almodóvar’s Talk to Her with William Fried, PhD at NYPSI
By Categories: EVENTS, Film, Psychoanalysis

Brill Library Film Series Screening & Discussion of Talk to Her with William Fried, PhD
Screening & Discussion of Pedro Almodóvar’s Talk to Her William Fried, PhD
Wednesday, April 25, 2018, 7:00 – 10:00 pm, The Marianne and Nicholas Young Auditorium, 247 East 82nd Street, NYC

From Pedro Almodóvar, the director of the Academy-Award(r) winning All About My Mother (Best Foreign Language Film, 2000), TALK TO HER is the surprising, altogether original and quietly moving story of the spoken and unspoken bonds that unite the lives and loves of two couples. Two men (Benigno and Marco) almost meet while watching a dance performance, but their lives are irrevocably entwined by fate. They meet later at a private clinic where Benigno is the caregiver for Alicia, a beautiful dance student who lies in a coma. Marco is there to visit his girlfriend, Lydia, a famous matador, also rendered motionless. As the men keep vigil over the women they love, the story unfolds in flashback and flashforward as the lives of the four are further entwined and their relationships move toward a surprising conclusion.

In his discussion, Dr. Fried will explore Talk to Her as representing the convolutions of desire by focusing on relations in which one of the two partners is comatose. This situation enables the mechanisms of projection and introjection to become the sole relational vehicles.

“Freedom to Choose: Two Systems of Self-Regulation” with Jack Novick and Kerry Kelly Novick at CFS
By Categories: EVENTS, Psychoanalysis

Honoring Jack and Kerry Kelly Novick Focusing on their Latest Publication: “Freedom to Choose: Two Systems of Self-Regulation”
One-Session Program (2 CE Credits) Presenters:Jack Novick and Kerry Kelly Novick Discussants: Jane Hall, Kimberly Kleinman, and Donna Roth Smith
Date: Friday, May 18, 2018 Time: 8:00-10:00pm Location:Mt. Sinai’s Goldwurm Auditorium, Madison Ave @ 98th Street, NYC

At this event we will celebrate Jack and Kerry Novick’s contributions to our field, with special emphasis on their most recent book, “Freedom to Choose: Two Systems of Self-Regulation.” This is a fitting focus, as the book articulates a central strand of their developmental and clinical thinking from early work on beating fantasies in the 1960s, through writings on sadomasochism, to more recent formulations of a model of two systems of self-regulation.
The evening is planned as a collaborative engagement among the speakers and the audience, with the goal of thinking together about how psychoanalytic ideas evolve and can be made useful and accessible. Well known for their clarity and warmth, the Novicks will share experiences to illustrate their work. They will be joined by two distinguished colleagues, Donna Roth Smith and Kim Kleinman, who will talk about ways they have applied some of the Novicks’ concepts and technical approaches.

Digging Deeper with an Anxious Adolescent with Christina Garidis at MITPP

A 15 year-old girl sought treatment for severe anxiety believing her symptoms were related primarily to fears that she would not achieve academic success. Beneath her academic distress were issues independent of academic achievement including an insecure attachment to her parents, and an enmeshment communicated both emotionally and physically. At times the patient expressed her feelings about her parents through rage, and at other times guilt, pity, sadness and fear of loss. These shifting expressions were often dependent upon the interplay with her therapist. The therapist regularly experienced a sense of constriction in the room, and the feeling that she “couldn’t get it right” in responding to the patient. These interactions provided the therapist with clues about the patient’s need to remain connected and attached while simultaneously becoming an autonomous individual.
