Presented by the Psychoanalytic Association of WCSPP
The relationship between women and aggression is a complex one. It is troubled by numerous cultural biases that constrain women to be nice, never anger and avoid aggressive self-assertion. These social forces have silenced women throughout time, reflecting a powerful patriarchy that dates back for centuries.

Through a personal vignette reflecting struggles with aggression and two clinical examples, Dr. Zuckerman will demonstrate how an interpersonal/relational approach enabled her female patients to mobilize their aggression for constructive use. She will also discuss the many cultural and developmental factors that complicate women’s relationship to aggression. References to the 2016 presidential election and the Kavanaugh Supreme Court hearings will be included as examples of sociocultural factors that infiltrate women’s struggles with aggression.

Participants are encouraged to bring in their clinical and personal experiences with “Nasty Women” to foster a lively, interactive discussion.

Janet R. Zuckerman, Ph.D., is a clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst. She is a Clinical Consultant at the New York University Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis, and Past Director of the Westchester Center for the Study of Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy, where she also teaches and supervises. Dr. Zuckerman leads supervision groups and study groups on contemporary interpersonal/relational theory and has previously published in the area of female agency and self-assertion. She maintains a private practice in Mamaroneck, NY.
