SUMMARY:Ethics Conference via Zoom - Dreaming Into Being: Community Psychoanalysis and War with Gaea Logan\, LPC-S
DESCRIPTION:Gordon Lawrence’s Social Dreaming Matrix suggests that our dreams are communal\, rather than personal. Arising from the social unconscious and belonging to the community\, dreams can offer guidance\, healing\, and problem solving for a community of dreamers. I had such a dream. It included many symbols\, some incomprehensible to me\, yet the dream revealed a pathway for communal healing. The dream inspired the co-creation of the International Institute for Trauma Studies (IITS)\, an online immersive trauma training and certification program for graduate students and clinicians in war time Ukraine. IITS is a scalable contemporary psychoanalytic group approach to communal trauma for the treatment and prevention of war related depression\, anxiety\, post-traumatic stress disorder\, and transgenerational trauma. This is a story of “Dreaming into Being”: ordinary citizens working together to create the extraordinary\, an international training center and outpatient clinic for Ukrainian families\, children and combatants. The paper also cites scholarly contributors in the current resurgence of community psychoanalysis and thinkers in social and phenomenological psychoanalysis. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES\nAfter attending the program in its entirety\, attendees will be able to: \n\nDescribe how an understanding of the social unconscious can be useful to the development of community psychoanalysis interventions in regions impacted by war.\nGive an example of “shared trauma”.\nDefine Robert Stolorow’s concept\, ” loss of absolutisms’ and its relevance in trauma treatment.\n\nPRESENTER\nGaea Logan\, LPC-S\, CGP\, is a British-American contemporary psychoanalyst\, clinical consultant\, and writer. She serves as Executive Director of the International Institute for Trauma Studies at the State Pedagogical University in Vinnytsia\, Ukraine\, where she was recently awarded Doctor Honoris Causa and named Professor Emeritus in recognition of her outstanding leadership and academic contributions. A Fellow of the American Group Psychotherapy Association\, Gaea is also an alumna of the Harvard Global Mental Health/Refugee Trauma Program\, the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE) in the Stanford University School of Medicine\, and the Institute for Contemporary Psychoanalysis in Los Angeles. She is currently completing the training and supervising analyst track at the same institute. Her work integrates psychoanalytic insight with social justice and trauma- informed care in conflict and post-conflict settings. In recognition of her clinical excellence and global humanitarian outreach\, she received the 2023 Yaakov Naor Award for Peace and Dialogue from the International Association for Group Psychotherapy and the 2015 Social Responsibility Award from the American Group Psychotherapy Association. She currently serves on the IAGP Board of Directors. Her paper\, Dreaming into Being: Community Psychoanalysis and War\, explores the clinical foundations of community healing in wartime. It will appear as a chapter in the forthcoming 2025 IAGP volume\, Cultural Diversity\, Groups and Social Challenges\, edited by Cristina Martinez-Taboada and Marcia Honig. \nREGISTER NOW \nREFERENCES\nBenjamin\, J.

SUMMARY:Zoom Clinical Conference - Trauma\, Psychosis\, and Psychotic Manifestations of Transference with Michael Garrett\, MD
DESCRIPTION:LOCATION\nLive via Zoom\nThis program will not be recorded \n\nPart 1 (90 minutes) Trauma and Psychosis\nDr. Michael Garrett will challenge the validity of the concept of “schizophrenia” as a genetically determined brain disease and review research suggesting that chronic psychosis is a trauma-related disorder best characterized as a particular phenotypic form of complex PTSD. He will review research showing that childhood trauma increases the risk of psychosis and that fragmented trauma memories are often embedded in the content of psychotic symptoms. Dr. Garrett will trace the developmental origin of psychotic symptoms from implicit behavioral knowing that in infancy provides a template for relationship with caregivers\, through pre-verbal fantasy\, to conscious and unconscious object-related fantasy\, to the emergence of florid psychotic symptoms in adolescence. \nPart 2 (90 minutes) Transference\nDr. Garrett will differentiate non-psychotic\, near-psychotic\, and psychotic manifestations of transference as seen from an object-related point of view\, illustrating each form of transference with a brief clinical vignette and offer clinical suggestions about how to recognize and deal with a psychotic transference. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES\nAfter attending the program in its entirety\, attendees will be able to: \n\nState at least one piece of evidence that argues against the validity of a diagnosis of “schizophrenia” as a genetically-determined brain disease.\nExplain how childhood abuse leads to insecure attachments of child to caregiver\, which results in persecutory internal objects.\nExplain how all transference phenomena involve the projection of internal objects.\nState at least one characteristic that differentiates a non-psychotic transference from a psychotic transference.\nExplain how a therapist who works in a casual self-disclosing style may be able to forestall the development of a psychotic transference.\n\nPRESENTER\nMichael Garrett\, MD is currently Professor Emeritus of Clinical Psychiatry at SUNY Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn\, New York and Voluntary Faculty at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York\, NY. He is also on the faculty of the Psychoanalytic Association of New York (PANY) affiliated with NYU Medical Center in New York City. He received his medical degree from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and completed his residency training in Psychiatry at Bronx Municipal Hospital Center. He currently teaches and supervises clinicians doing psychotherapy for psychosis and is a consultant to several first-episode for psychosis teams in the United States and elsewhere. He has a particular interest in the integration of cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic treatment in the psychotherapy of psychosis\, as detailed in a Chapter in Kaplan & Sadock’s Comprehensive Textbook of Psychiatry 11th Ed titled Individual Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Psychosis\, and in his recent book\, Garrett\, M.
