SUMMARY:The Feminine in Buddhism & Psychoanalysis: Our Portal to Aliveness
DESCRIPTION:Overview\n\n\n\n\n\nPsychoanalysis in Action: The Feminine in Buddhism & Psychoanalysis: Our Portal to Aliveness\n\n\n\nIn this talk\, Dr. Pilar Jennings will explore her decades long relationship to Tibetan Buddhism and its influence on her psychoanalytic practice. With an emphasis on the tradition’s shared efforts to restore our contact with feminine aspects of the psyche – intuitive knowing\, empathy\, and receptivity – she will consider how the Buddhist and psychoanalytic traditions benefit from active engagement. She will also consider recent collective struggles influencing analytic work\, and the analyst’s increased need for feminine resources nurtured in the Buddhist model of mind. \n \nPilar Jennings is a psychoanalyst based in New York City with a focus on the clinical applications of Buddhist meditation practice. She received her Ph.D. in Psychiatry and Religion from Union Theological Seminary\, and has been working with patients and their families through the Harlem Family Institute since 2000. Dr. Jennings is a long-term practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism. She is a Visiting Lecturer at Union Theological Seminary; Columbia University; a faculty member of the Nalanda Institute for Contemplative Science; and teaches internationally on the intersection of Buddhist psychology and psychoanalysis. Her publications have included “East of Ego: The Intersection of Narcissism and Buddhist Meditation Practice\,” “Imagery and Trauma: The Psyche’s Push for Healing\,” Mixing Minds: The Power of Relationship in Psychoanalysis and Buddhism (Wisdom Publications; 2010)\, and a memoir about her entry into clinical work: To Heal a Wounded Heart: On the Transformative Power of Buddhism & Psychotherapy in Action (Shambhala; 2017).

SUMMARY:Blooming in December
DESCRIPTION:Psychodynamic Psychotherapy with Older Adults and Perspectives on the Aging of the Analyst\n\n\n\nThe Academic Events Committee Presents A Wrinkle In Time\nA Series that will Consider both the Psychic Challenges and Opportunities for Generativity and Transformation in Later Stages of Life \nPresenter: Amy Schaffer\, PhD \nLive on Zoom! \n2 CE Hours available for\nNY Practitioners – LCSWs\, LMSWs\, LPs\, LMFTs\, LMHCs\, LCATs\, PHDs\, PSYDs\nCT Practitioners – LCSWs\, LMSWs\, LMFTs\, LPCs and Licensed Psychologists\nThis Event is also Approved for Cultural Competency in Connecticut \nAlthough our field has largely neglected this population\, psychodynamic treatment of older adults can be extremely effective\, not only relieving suffering but leading to striking psychological change and more fulfilling lives. Aspects of aging that we will explore include current and revived relational conflicts and trauma\, later-life disruptions to self-experience\, the impact of ageism\, and existential concerns. After focusing on the way psychodynamic treatment of depth and meaning can help our older patients\, we will turn to ourselves. How does our own entry into later life affect our psyches and our clinical practice? I’ve been interviewing therapists about this and will share what I’ve been learning. And then\, let’s talk! \n \nAmy Schaffer\, PhD is the author of Blooming in December: Psychodynamic Psychotherapy with Older Adults\, a publication in Routledge’s “Psychoanalysis in a New Key” series. She is affiliated with the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy as faculty\, supervisor\, and former director of the Training Program in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and she currently serves on the Executive Board of NYSPA’s Division of Adult Aging and Development. She has treated older adults for over 50 years.

SUMMARY:WCSPP Film Night: A.I. Artificial Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:2 CE Hours available to NYS LCSWs\, LMSWs\, LPs\, LMFTs\, LMHCs\, LCATs\, Psychologists and PsyDs\nWatch the Movie before the Event – – then Join Us to Discuss!\nYou can stream the movie on many platforms including Google Play\, Paramount+ and YouTube. \nIn our increasingly uncertain world\, Steven Spielberg’s (2001) prescient film “AI: Artificial Intelligence” raises essential questions about the human condition as it depicts a society in which technologies have become so advanced that it’s hard to tell the difference between robots and humans. A modern Pinocchio story\, it centers around a robot boy who has been programmed to love. Imprinted onto a human mother who ultimately abandons him\, the boy sets off on a perilous journey hoping to become real. \nAs we grapple today with the humanization of machines and the mechanization of humans\, the movie illustrates what can happen when the creations we’ve made to serve us threaten our being and identity. Through the lens of attachment\, loss\, fantasy and memory\, we see the pain of perpetual longing\, the search to heal unbearable aloneness\, and the thin line between object usage and object love. It asks what it means to be authentically human in a vast\, timeless universe\, and suggests what might be truly reparative within the therapeutic relationship. \nJudith Schweiger Levy\, PhD\, is a Faculty and Supervisor\, WCSPP; Training and Supervising Analyst\, Contemporary Freudian Society; Faculty\, Supervisor\, Manhattan Institute of Psychoanalysis; and Supervisor\, Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy. Dr. Levy has a Certificate in Psychoanalysis\, NYU Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis\, and Contemporary Freudian Society. \n\nSign up to join us! \nREGISTRATION LINK\n\n

SUMMARY:Jung's Perspective on The Psychology of Aging
DESCRIPTION:2 CE Hours available for\nNY Practitioners – LCSWs\, LMSWs\, LPs\, LMFTs\, LMHCs\, LCATs\, PHDs\, PSYDs \nDr. Fogarty will explore aging as it arises in clinical process from a Jungian perspective.  For Jung our experience of embodied psychic life is purposive\, not simply an extension of reductive repetitions of the past. When we are faced with the archetypal drama of the “Second Half of Life”\, the arc of existence felt within the horizon of death\, patterns operate in tension with newly emerging potentials – loss\, mourning\, rebirth\, “new wine in new wineskins”\, or not. Working relationally within multiple self-states\, we engage such possibilities within the treatment matrix.  Emergent patterns may be amplified through archetypal\, collective\, personally experienced motifs known in images\, stories and events that open up the transference-countertransference field and can further individuation for analysand and analyst. Clinical vignettes and a film clip will demonstrate the transformative and the unchanging. \n \nHarry W. Fogarty\, MDiv\, PhD\, LP is a Jungian Analyst maintaining a practice in NYC. He serves as a Faculty Member and Supervisor for the Jungian Psychoanalytic Association and the Philadelphia Association of Jungian Analysts. He has presented papers at various conferences\, and taught\, serving as Lecturer in Psychiatry and Religion at Union Theological Seminary\, NYC (1991-2014). In recent years\, a particular interest has been working with experiences of the collective psyche as it manifests in the relational analytic field\, as well as with motifs of personal and intergenerational trauma\, of the embodied psyche\, and of the generative dynamics of aging\, including illness. Recent papers include: “Blind Spots in Western Mentality: Imposition vs. Universalism”\, “Without Words or Thought: Psyche as Only Incarnate\, Or on Working Analytically with Embodied Awareness”\, and “More to Come: Clinical Studies of Analytical Process with Older Analysands.”

SUMMARY:Psychotherapy with Neurodivergent Individuals: A Developmental and Relational Approach to Parent-Child Work
DESCRIPTION:2 CE Hours available for \n\n\nNY Practitioners – LCSWs\, LMSWs\, LPs\, LMFTs\, LMHCs\, LCATs\, PHDs\, PSYDs \nAs diagnoses and awareness of neurodivergence (including ASD\, ADHD\, etc.) have rapidly grown over the years\, many psychotherapists wonder how to address neurodivergent clients’ unique needs in psychotherapy. The DIRFloortime® model and related strategies\, developed by Stanley Greenspan\, MD and Serena Wieder\, PhD\, are well-suited for addressing developmental differences\, emotional regulation\, reflective thinking\, and self-advocacy in a strengths-based\, developmentally-informed\, and relationship-based manner. Through didactic and video case presentation and discussion\, participants will learn the foundations of this person-centered\, neuroaffirming model and how to apply to children (with their parents) and adults with a range of developmental capacities. \n \nDr. Lauren Tobing-Puente is a licensed psychologist who earned her PhD in Clinical Psychology\, with a specialization in child and family therapy\, from Fordham University. She leads a team of mental health clinicians at her private practice\, Connected Growth & Wellbeing\, in NYC which provides evaluations and intervention for individuals\, from toddlerhood to adulthood\, and their families\, as well as professional consultations and training\, and parent workshops. Dr. Tobing-Puente is the former Clinical Coordinator of a large nonpublic school where she supervised a multidisciplinary team of mental health clinicians\, and evaluated and provided psychotherapy to students through age 21 using the DIRFloortime(R) methodology. Her diverse experience includes many years working in home-based and center-based Early Intervention\, independent preschool and elementary school\, Head Start\, and hospital settings for children with various developmental needs. Dr. Tobing-Puente was a long-time board member of the NY Metro chapter of the National Autism Association (NAA).
