SUMMARY:Psychotherapists Working in Public Spaces\, with Maria Nardone\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:When she was an early career psychologist\, Dr. Nardone was asked to provide psychological testimony for a man facing deportation which would have deeply and negatively affected his U.S. citizen family. Subsequent cases included green card holders who committed crimes and were rehabilitated\, people seeking asylum\, and undocumented parents with U.S. citizen children. These experiences ignited a passion that continues to the present. \nIn this talk\, Dr. Nardone will reflect on her experiences working in these and other public spaces. She will discuss what she has learned about the trauma experienced by immigrants and refugees\, and in immigrant communities. Deporting undocumented parents can create lasting harm for their American citizen children\, including economic turmoil\, psychic scarring\, and reduced scholastic performance. She will describe her work with the Appleseed Network\, a non-profit network of 18 public interest justice centers in the US and Mexico. \nMaria Nardone\, Ph.D.\, Director of Technology and Global Learning; Former Director of the Online Interpersonal Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Program for Russian Speakers; Former Chair\, Council of Fellows\, and Founding member and Former Director of the Center for Public Mental Health at the William Alanson White Institute\, where she is Faculty Instructor and Supervisor. She is co-director of the Social Issues Department of the American Psychoanalytic Association and a North American Representative to the IPA Board of Directors. Dr. Nardone is Adjunct Associate Professor in Fordham University’s graduate program in Healthcare Administration and a member of the GSAS Dean’s Advisory committee. Previously\, Dr. Nardone was Adjunct Clinical Associate Professor\, Director of the Division of Psychological Services\, in the Department of OB/GYN at S.U.N.Y Downstate Medical Center. \nDr. Nardone is an expert witness in Immigration matters. A graduate of the Tavistock Institute\, Dr. Nardone is an executive coach and advanced organizational consultant. She has lectured in numerous academic institutions in Europe and the US. Her chapter\, “Executive Coaching as an Organizational Intervention\,” was published in English and Italian in Mind-ful Consulting (Karnac\, 2009\, 2014).

SUMMARY:Being Black in the Therapy Room — A Panel Discussion Among Five Clinicians
DESCRIPTION:A Panel Discussion Among Five Clinicians \nModerated by Diana Hope Baker\, LCSW \n2 CE Hours available for\nNY Practitioners – LCSWs\, LMSWs\, LPs\, LMFTs\, LMHCs\, LCATs\, PHDs\, PSYDs \nThis panel discussion aims to explore the multifaceted experiences of being Black in the therapy room. The discussion will engage both Black and White therapists in the audience and cover key topics such as countertransference\, racism\, cultural norms\, and systemic issues within the psychological field. \nThe discussion will explore issues of race in working with Black clients and the impact of race on Black clinicians. We believe that this panel discussion will provide a valuable platform for exploring these important issues and promoting a deeper understanding of the experiences of Black individuals in therapy. \nDiana Hope Baker\, LCSW is a Holistic Social Worker. A native of NY and a transplant to Georgia\, Diana obtained her MSW in 2004 from the University of Central Florida with a certificate in Addictions. In addition to her graduate training Diana has post graduate certificates in Clinical Supervision\, Psychodynamic Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy\, and Psychodynamic Couples Therapy. Diana’s personal and professional journey has led her to her most recent certifications as a holistic trauma therapist\, a Level I sound healer\, Level II Reiki Practitioner\, Level I Ifs therapist\, and Certified Yoga Teacher-500. Diana is the Suicide Prevention Coordinator at the Dublin\, Georgia VA and the owner of Hope Psychotherapy which focuses on holistic healing of women with anxiety\, PTSD\, infertility and race related stressors. Diana has also contributed to Essence Magazine as a wellness practitioner. Diana’s passions include traveling and providing community lectures and wellness events focused on the integration of holistic practices and mental health and racial trauma. Diana has a niece and nephews and two bonus children. Panel member bios to follow. \nCONTINUING EDUCATION – 2 CE HOURS\nTeaching Method: Seminar-style Zoom presentation\nLearning Objectives: \nAfter this presentation participants will be able to: \n1. Understand the complexities of countertransference in therapeutic relationships involving Black clients\, including how therapists’ own racial biases and cultural backgrounds can impact the therapeutic process.\n2. Explore the manifestations of racism within the therapy room\, including microaggressions\, stereotypes\, and power dynamics\, and develop strategies for effectively addressing and dismantling these barriers to therapeutic progress.\n3. Examine the influence of cultural norms and systemic issues on the mental health and well-being of Black individuals\, and identify ways in which therapists can create culturally competent and affirming spaces for their Black clients to facilitate healing and growth.

SUMMARY:The Evolving Self-Narrative Of An Incest Survivor
DESCRIPTION:2 CE Hours available for\nNY Practitioners – LCSWs\, LMSWs\, LPs\, LMFTs\, LMHCs\, LCATs\, PHDs\, PSYDs \nLIMITED TO 20 PARTICIPANTS!To allow for depth of clinical discussion and a true sense of our formal coursework\, participation will be capped at 20 therapists. \nThe therapeutic relationship with a survivor of incest is delicate and frightening for both patient and therapist. Together my patient and I embarked on a journey of trust and collaboration to help her better manage self-destructive behaviors stemming from her past wounds. We tried multiple therapeutic methods until we came upon Developmental Needs Meeting Strategy (DNMS)\, which allows trauma to be processed and addressed in a more gentle manner. This case presentation will illustrate her courageous effort to face and to change the self-narrative of being someone who had believed she was “dirty” and “deserved to be punished” to a person worthy of protection and nurturance. \nDeborah Cassidy-Charron earned a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Long Island University where she completed internships at Bronx Children’s Hospital and the Jewish Board of Family and Children’s Services and wrote a dissertation on the Rorschach. She completed the Advanced Psychoanalytic Training Program at WCSPP in 2019 and is currently working in private practice with adults in Armonk\, NY\, specializing in trauma cases\, ADHD\, and aging.

SUMMARY:Understanding and Using the Traumatic Narcissism Theory
DESCRIPTION:Since the publication of his 2014 book\, Traumatic Narcissism: Relational Systems of Subjugation\, Daniel Shaw has been refining and updating the psychological profile of the traumatizing narcissist\, specifically for the purpose of helping victims of narcissistic abuse inflicted by parents\, romantic partners or others. Many patients have difficulty articulating what happens to them in these relationships\, and clinicians often miss the important clues that indicate this type of relational abuse. In this presentation\, Shaw outlines the most prominent controlling behaviors of the traumatizing narcissist\, how they impact his or her victims\, and the specific ways that these patients can be helped to restore their critical thinking\, their self-esteem\, and their freedom from subjugation. \nPresenter \nDaniel Shaw\, LCSW\, is an author\, teacher and psychotherapist in private practice in New York City and Nyack\, NY. Integrating contemporary trauma theories with psychoanalytic work\, Shaw works internationally with survivors of narcissistic abuse as well as cult survivors\, and consults to other mental health professionals individually and in groups. www.danielshawlcsw.com. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2 CE HOURS available for:\nNY Practitioners – LCSWs\, LMSWs\, LPs\, LMFTs\, LMHCs\, LCATs\, PHDs\, PSYDs\nCT Practitioners – LCSWs\, LMSWs\, LMFTs\, LPCs and Licensed Psychologists \nTeaching Method: Lecture\, Discussion and Q & A.\nLearning Objectives:\nParticipants will be able to:\n1. identify the most prominent behaviors of the traumatizing narcissist.\n2. formulate treatment goals for victims of narcissistic abuse suffering from Complex-PTSD.\n3. utilize psychoeducation about the traumatic narcissism theory to help patients consolidate therapeutic gains. \nA completed survey must be submitted after the meeting for 2 CE hours. \nWho should attend: Psychiatrists\, psychologists\, social workers\, psychoanalysts\, other mental health professionals\, nurses\, graduate students.

SUMMARY:Erich Fromm: A Contemporary Introduction
DESCRIPTION:CE CREDITS AVAILABLE FOR NYS PRACTITIONERS. \nThis webinar is live\, real-time and interactive. \nFrom our speaker Sandra Buechler: Erich Fromm\, who was born in 1900\, continues to inspire me in 2024. His humanistic insights are highly relevant to the clinical and societal challenges we face today. In this talk\, I explore Fromm’s concepts of the “pathology of normalcy\,” paradox in treatment\, productive and non-productive orientations\, and becoming a “physician of the soul\,” among other concepts. I express why Fromm has a special place in my own “internal chorus” of wise voices I can “consult” in moments of need. \nSandra Buechler\, PhD is a Training and Supervising Analyst at the William Alanson White Institute. She is the author of Clinical Values: Emotions that Guide Psychoanalytic Treatment (Analytic Press\, 2004)\, Making a Difference in Patients’Lives (Routledge\, 2008)\, which won the Gradiva award\, Still Practicing: The Heartaches and Joys of a Clinical Career (Routledge\, 2012)\, Understanding and Treating Patients in Clinical Psychoanalysis: Lessons from Literature (Routledge\, 2015)\, Psychoanalytic Reflections: Training and Practice (IPBooks\, 2017)\,Psychoanalytic Approaches to Problems in Living (Routledge\, 2019)\, Poetic Dialogues (IPBooks\, 2021)\, and Erich Fromm: A Contemporary Introduction(Routledge\, 2024).

SUMMARY:Erotophobia: Laplanche\, Queer Theory & Psychoanalysis
DESCRIPTION:2 CE HOURS available for:\nNY Practitioners – LCSWs\, LMSWs\, LPs\, LMFTs\, LMHCs\, LCATs\, PHDs\, PSYDs\nCT Practitioners – LCSWs\, LMSWs\, LMFTs\, LPCs and Licensed Psychologists  \nIn contemporary psychoanalysis\, it has become popular to accuse the clinical field of hating sex\, hating pleasure\, and being generally – both in its theory and in its techniques – hostile and averse to sex and sexuality. Although this isn’t a particularly new argument – French psychoanalysis has been accusing American psychoanalysis of this in one form or another for the past seventy-five years – the argument has taken on new momentum with the popularization of queer theory\, and alongside recent attempts to radicalize psychoanalytic theory and practice. In this presentation\, I will draw on Laplanche to challenge this popular argument by showing that it depends on a simplistic version of queer theory that totally misrecognizes its radical potential. In so doing\, I will demonstrate that to the extent we are afraid of sexuality it may have less to do with sensational\, exotic or shattering sex\, but sexuality in relation to otherness\, desire that thrusts and propels us toward others in ways we can’t comprehend and can’t quite escape. I elaborate Laplanche’s account of “enlarged sexuality” to elaborate “erotophobia” as the denial of enlarged sexuality. \nPresenter: \n \nGila Ashtor\, PhD\, LP is an Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychoanalysis at Columbia University as well as a faculty member of the Columbia Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research. She is on the Faculty at New York University’s Postdoctoral Program in Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy\, and at IPTAR. She is the author of three books\, Homo Psyche: On Queer Theory and Erotophobia (Fordham UP\, 2021)\, Exigent Psychoanalysis: The Interventions of Jean Laplanche (Routledge\, 2021) and Aural History (Punctum\, 2020). Her primary areas of academic and clinical expertise include identity\, trauma and sexuality. She is in private practice in New York City. \nModerator \nSylvia Steinert\, LCSW is the current co-Executive Director of WCSPP and Faculty\, WCSPP. Steinert holds certificates in psychoanalysis and supervision from WCSPP. She is in private practice in Ridgefield\, CT.

DESCRIPTION:Continuing Education\n4 CE credits for most NY and CT Licenses \nAbout \nThis conference invites reflection upon the cultivation of morality within\ntoday’s families often challenged by an exclusive emphasis on individual development\,\nthe weakening of binding institutions\, and the influence of the Internet. How can clinicians\nhelp parents hold in mind the importance of moral development alongside their goals\nand good wishes for their children’s future? How can they help parents define and\nintegrate values that support the well-being of their own families and society? Through\npresentations and discussions\, we will delve into these timely and urgent questions. \nRichard Weissbourd\, PhD\nConcerns regarding the deleterious impact of contemporary culture influence parents\nand educators to focus intensely on the well-being and achievements of children.\nToo much preoccupation with these two aspects of individual success—and the\nconstant praising of children that goes with it—can undermine children’s capacity\nto care for others and their investment in the common good. Further\, concentrating\nso much on achievement and happiness risks making kids not only less caring\, but\nironically\, less happy and consequently less likely to achieve at high levels. In the\ncurrent socio-political climate\, where tolerance and empathy seem to be in short\nsupply\, it is more important than ever to help children develop concern for others.\nThis talk will explore these current trends and help clinicians working with families\nunderstand these challenging dilemmas. \nKen Barish\, PhD\nIn this talk\, Dr. Barish will discuss Dr. Weissbourd’s ideas on moral development in\nchildren\, highlighting areas of agreement and disagreement. The discussion will focus\non how our current culture of individual achievement erodes children’s capacity for\nempathy and the importance of helping others. Dr. Barish will offer recommendations to\ntherapists on how we can most effectively immunize our children and teens against the\nemotional pathogens of loneliness and shame\, help promote constructive engagement\nin their communities\, and foster a spirit of generosity and kindness toward others. \n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speakers \nRichard Weissbourd\, PhD\, is a Senior Lecturer at the Harvard\nGraduate School of Education\, and he also teaches at the Kennedy\nSchool of Government. His work focuses on moral development\,\nmeaning and purpose\, mental health challenges among teens and\nyoung adults and effective schools and services for children facing\nrisks. He directs the Making Caring Common Project\, a national\neffort to make moral and social development priorities in child-raising\nand provide strategies to schools and parents for promoting com-\nmitment moral and social capacities. He leads an initiative to reform\ncollege admissions\, Turning the Tide\, which seeks to elevate ethical\ncharacter\, reduce excessive achievement pressure and increase\nequity and access in the college admissions process. Weissbourd\nis the author of The Vulnerable Child: What Really Hurts America’s\nChildren and What We Can Do About It (Addison-Wesley\, 1996)\,\nnamed by the American School Board Journal as one of the top 10\neducation books of all time.

SUMMARY:Conflict in Divorce: Helping Parents Protect Children’s Innocence
DESCRIPTION:2 CE HOURS\nNY Practitioners – LCSWs\, LMSWs\, LPs\, LMFTs\, LMHCs\, LCATs\, PHDs\, PSYDs \nThis interactive training will present an overview of the psychological impact of divorce on parents and children. We will examine how divorce can go wrong and what parents and clinicians can do to significantly improve the lot of children during the process. \nThe Problem: In every divorce there is a leave-er and a leave-ee. One initiates and one is left; it’s asymmetrical and painful. Also\, by definition\, divorce is a failed marriage\, so it’s no surprise that the original marital struggles get played out – and amplified. Anger is accentuated\, blaming abounds and fear undermines the project. But\, since the goal of a divorce is to separate and build a new life\, an alternative narrative is required\, especially if there are children involved. \nPresenter \nMark Banschick\, MD is the co-founder of The Katonah Study Group for Integrative Medicine\, now in its 25th year. Dr. Banschick completed a residency in Psychiatry at Georgetown University and a Child Fellowship at New York-Presbyterian Medical Center. He is a contributor to Psychology Today with sixteen million readers to date – and author of The Intelligent Divorce book series. Recently\, Mark co-founded Alums for Campus Fairness\, promoting healthy dialogue on college campuses\, with over 50\,000 members representing 75 colleges. Dr. Banschick works with children and adults in private practice in Stamford\, CT.

SUMMARY:The Dynamic Interplay of Adult Development and the Treatment Process
DESCRIPTION:From our speaker\, Steve Axelrod: In this presentation\, I will elaborate two perspectives on the psychology of adulthood – a developmental scheme of tasks and emerging capacities as well as the drivers of individual growth and vitality. \nThe developmental framework I described in my recently published paper is a revision and expansion of Erikson’s original epigenetic scheme that incorporates what we have learned from others’ observations (especially those drawn from longitudinal studies) and theorizing. I will describe how this developmental perspective can inform and improve our clinical work\, and I will illustrate this with case material. \nFollow-up data from psychotherapy outcome studies can give us a window into the processes of growth in adulthood more generally. There is evidence that some patients not only get better in treatment but also show continuing improvement and better adjustment over time after termination. The final part of this presentation will consider the factors in treatment and the processes post treatment that sustain these kinds of gains. \nDr. Steve Axelrod is a psychoanalyst in independent practice in New York City. He is on the faculty of the NYU Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis\, where he is Co-Chair of the Independent Track\, working to foster innovation and improve the intellectual experience for all members of the Postdoc community. He is a Principal in the Boswell Group of psychodynamic management consultants and is on the board of the Psychotherapy Action Network. He is the author of books and articles on adult development\, the psychology of work—Work and the Evolving Self (Analytic Press\, 1999)\,—leadership and management\, male development\, and hospital-based psychiatric treatment. He is the co-editor of Progress in Psychoanalysis: Envisioning the Future of the Profession (Routledge\, 2018). This presentation is based in part on his recent article “Growth in adulthood: A revised psychoanalytic framework for adult development” in this year’s Psychoanalytic Study of the Child.

SUMMARY:Parenting in Today's World: Clinical Conversations
DESCRIPTION:2 CE HOURS\nNY Practitioners – LCSWs\, LMSWs\, LPs\, LMFTs\, LMHCs\, LCATs\, PHDs\, PSYDs \nFathers for Change (F4C) is a novel\, individual clinical intervention for fathers who have been violent with their partners and/or children. F4C addresses 9 individually focused core topics\, 4 co-parent topics\, and 5 father-child focused topics in 60-minute individual therapy sessions over 18-24 weeks. In the context of a strong working alliance developed through focus on fatherhood\, F4C employs a continual emphasis on reflective functioning and emotion regulation skills. Improvement in these targets in turn leads to reduced intimate partner violence (IPV) and child maltreatment. F4C motivates the father to change by continually recognizing his desire to be a better parent and facilitating his ability to reflect on the experiences of his co-parent and children and learn skills to manage his emotions to improve outcomes for his family. This presentation will include: 1) an overview of F4C intervention\, the theory of change and research data to support F4C as an emerging evidence based approach to reducing IPV. \n \nCarla Smith Stover\, PhD is a Professor at the Yale University School of Medicine’s Child Study Center\, and an Investigator with the IPV Center for Implementation\, Research and Evaluation at the VA Connecticut Healthcare System. Dr. Stover was awarded a Career Award from the National Institute of Drug Abuse that began her research on interventions for fathers to reduce intimate partner violence (IPV) and substance misuse behaviors and improve parenting. She developed Fathers for Change and her recent book published by Guilford Press Fathers and Violence: A Program to Change Behavior\, Improve Parenting and Heal Relationships is the manual for this intervention approach. She currently has two NIH research grants to conduct clinical trials of Fathers for Change. One for families involved with child protective services due to IPV and the other for fathers with co-occurring IPV and substance misuse disorders seeking substance use treatment in the community or the VA. She has presented trainings internationally on the topics of family conflict\, healthy relationships\, family violence\, engaging and treating fathers and interventions for childhood trauma.

SUMMARY:Maintaining Professional Boundaries in Psychotherapy (Ethics Course)
DESCRIPTION:This 3-Hour CE Course meets the NYSED Office of the Professions requirement for Ethics and Appropriate Boundaries for LCSWs\, LMSWs\, LMHCs\, LMFTs\, Licensed Psychoanalysts and Licensed Psychologists. \n3 CE HOURS\nPresented by:\nBruce V. Hillowe\, JD\, PhD \nThe New York State Board of Regents mandated that effective April 1\, 2023\, psychologists\, social workers and mental health practitioners (LMHC’s\, LMFT’s\, LPsa’s and LCAT’s) take as part of their required continuing education a three credit course on the maintenance of professional boundaries with patients. The reason for the new requirement is concern about the number of professional disciplinary proceedings by the State’s licensing boards against mental health professionals where boundaries have allegedly been violated. This course has been designed to meet the State’s mandatory CE requirement for both boundaries and ethics: courses on boundaries that cover New York laws\, rules and regulations related to unprofessional conduct may also be counted toward the ethics requirement. \nTopics to be discussed will include the ethical\, professional\, legal and clinical backgrounds for boundaries; discriminating between boundary crossings and violations; the establishment and maintenance of boundaries at the outset of and during psychotherapy including issues of multiple relationships\, at- risk patients and social media; the challenge of vulnerable patients and therapists; and maintaining clinical creativity and flexibility within the therapeutic frame. The potential harm and legal consequences of boundary violations will also be reviewed. The presenter is Bruce V. Hillowe JD PhD\, a psychologist-psychoanalyst and mental health care attorney who has defended hundreds of mental health practitioners in professional disciplinary proceedings in New York State\, many of them for alleged boundary violations. \nPresenter \nBruce V. Hillowe\, JD\, PhD\, is a mental healthcare attorney with a law practice in Mineola\, New York. A graduate of Binghamton University\, Duke University School of Law\, and Adelphi University Derner Institute (Clinical Psychology and Postdoctoral Programs)\, he formerly practiced as a psychologist-psychoanalyst\, including as a coordinator of clinical training and director of a forensic mental health service. He was a teaching attending psychologist in law and ethics at a major teaching hospital for 15 years. He currently teaches courses in ethics and law as adjunct faculty at the Derner Institute. He is legal counsel to numerous mental health facilities\, institutes\, and practitioners and sponsors legal plans for professional associations. He has written articles and book chapters including for law reviews and healthcare publications\, is listed in the Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers in healthcare law and is a “SuperLawyer” featured in the New York Times Magazine.

SUMMARY:The "Big Shot" Raises His Fee: Social Class in the Psychoanalytic Encounter
DESCRIPTION:The role of social class in the analytic encounter has been given little attention in our psychoanalytic literature and training institutes. This dimension of the treatment relationship tends to remain invisible most of the time. However\, when the analyst raises the fee\, it can become a catalyst for bringing social class concerns of both patient and analyst into the treatment room. The fee increase discussed in this presentation evokes shame\, envy\, and guilt for both participants\, each raised in a working-class home. The author considers unconscious dynamics informing psychoanalytic work between patients and analysts who outwardly appear to have no conflict about their social class origins but privately harbor much shame and anger about where they come from.

SUMMARY:Foundations and Advanced Psychoanalytic Training Programs Open House
DESCRIPTION:The Foundations of Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Training Program is a two-year program designed to provide candidates with a solid theoretical and clinical base in psychoanalytic psychotherapy. A three-pronged approach is used\, which includes coursework\, personal therapy\, and consultation/supervision with a number of master clinicians who are a part of the WCSPP Faculty. Candidates will learn how to better recognize aspects of their work that are occurring outside the conscious awareness of the patient (or even the clinician) and how to use this expanded understanding in a dynamic\, transformative way. \nThe Advanced Psychoanalytic Training Program is open to graduates of the Foundations Program and/or an equivalent program at another training institute. The Advanced course is an additional three-year program (beyond the Foundations program) that provides further in-depth training in psychoanalysis. The training consists of concurrent participation in didactic course work\, supervised clinical work\, and a personal psychoanalysis. Such an intense immersion enables the candidate to transform experientially and deeply understand the empirical basis of theoretical formulations and to develop analytic skill in the conceptualization and execution of psychoanalytic work. \nWho is eligible and should apply?\nApplicants must be licensed Masters or Doctoral-level mental health professionals:\nMD\, PhD\, PsyD\, LCSW\, NP\, LMSW\, LCAT\, LMHC\, LMFT\nFinancial Aid is available for those who qualify. \nTimeline:\nRolling admissions with decisions made by July 30\, 2025\nProgram begins September 2025\nWe will continue to be on Zoom for the 2025-2026 year.
