WITH GRATITUDE – 2018-2019 SDPC ANNUAL
FUND-RAISING CAMPAIGN



SDPC expresses its deep gratitude to our donors, and we hope that their generosity will inspire you to join us with your financial support in the coming years.
 
Please take a moment to consider the impact of psychoanalytic treatment and education in your personal and professional life. If you believe psychoanalytic thinking has helped you become a better spouse, parent, friend, and professional, please help us insure that SDPC will continue to positively touch the lives of many patients and professionals in the future.
 
Results from last 2017-2018 Annual Fund-Raising Campaign
In 2017-2018, we received individual gifts ranging from $50 to $35,000 from our members for a total of $60,000 and allocated them to the Endowment Fund. We greatly appreciate your participation.
What was the level of Endowment Fund before?
1.  2016: $37,000
2.  2017: $60,000
3.  2018: $120,000
Now, we invite others to join us for our 2018-2019 annual Fund-Raising Campaign.

Our goals for 2018-2019 Annual Fund-Raising Campaign
1.         Achieve 100% participation of donation at any level among our members
2.         Reach $170,000 in the Endowment Fund



Details of the Annual Fund-Raising campaign 2018-2019:
 During the Annual Fund-Raising Campaign, for every dollar donated to the Endowment Fund by all of you, the members of the SDPC Board will match one dollar up to $25,000. If all of your gifts from members and friends amount to $25,000, the Endowment Fund will reach $170,000 per the following:
  • $120,000 value as of 7/1/2018
  • Plus $25,000 in Annual Fund-Raising Campaign
  • Plus $25,000 from Board matching.
During the next months, from November 1st, to December 31st, 2018, we ask all of you to identify San Diego Psychoanalytic Center as your top philanthropic priority and recognize that your contribution allows the Center to secure its long-term mission.
This goal can be achieved if each person gives the modest amount of an average of the equivalent of AT LEAST ONE SESSION at full fee rate.
Knowing that each of us is at a different level of professional experience, we suggest that some of you consider giving the equivalent of a few sessions. Please consider giving, $50, $100, $150, $200, $250, $300 or more, using the SDPC website link and name the project ENDOWMENT FUND with your donation.

Our donors understand and support psychoanalytic thinking, as it is the most individualized and intensive means of promoting mental health and developing rewarding lives.  The San Diego Psychoanalytic Center, using a psychoanalytic model, continues to provide clinicians with an additional framework to understand human suffering and treat each patient in his or her uniqueness.
 
For well over 100 years, psychotherapy based upon the knowledge derived from psychoanalysis has been a mainstay in the treatment of mental illness around the world.
 
Current research has shown that a psychoanalytically oriented understanding of mental illness is compatible with the information from the neurosciences regarding the working of the brain. Even in patients whose mental distress has some biological basis, psychological factors contribute to the onset, expression, and course of their illness.
 
YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS. Your support will contribute to this work and enhance the opportunity for more people in our community to find therapists who provide this important and effective psychological dimension in their treatment.
 
We are most grateful for all your efforts to maintain the vitality of SDPC.

Freud's Last Session - Staged Reading 

Friday, November 30, 2018 - 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm

SDPC will be presenting a staged reading of  Freud’s Last Session by Mark St. Germain. This award winning play depicts a fictional meeting between Sigmund Freud and the writer and Oxford Don C.S. Lewis in which they clash and debate with both humor and passion the meaning of life, suffering, death,  love, and the existence of God from their very different  world views. The play takes place in Freud’s study in London on September 3, 1939, the day of the outbreak of World War Two and just weeks before Freud took his own life. This deeply touching play explores the minds, hearts, and souls of two brilliant men addressing the greatest questions of our time.

The Technique & Practice of Psychoanalysis 7 ~ Now Available
(see link below)


Advance word on Ralph R. Greenson’s Training Seminars, “The Technique and Practice of Psychoanalysis, 7, the latest in the San Diego State University Press Series, “Psychoanalysis on the Couch.” 

From the Introduction by Jesus Gonzalez: “Greenson’s language is a model of brevity and honesty. If he dislikes the individual, he will let us know and why he believes this is so. If he finds the patient attractive, he will also say so. If the patient is boring him or if he forgot relevant information and is asking the patient for it, we will hear about it. Thus, we have composer, conductor, musician, and actor all in one. Greenson is his own opera, and through these seminars he
invites us to listen.” 

From Peter Loewenberg, Professor of History Emeritus, UCLA, & Training and Supervising Analyst, Dean Emeritus, for the New Center for Psychoanalysis, LA, CA: “Ralph Greenson was a gifted charismatic teacher of psychoanalytic technique, premiere in his generation. I and many other students of analysis had the privilege of learning from his clear yet scintillating seminars on dreams and clinical practice. The editor has done a major service to all mental health practitioners in providing these brilliant sparkling Greenson seminars, notes, and papers for our benefit.”

Life-changing psychoanalytic training / Collegial community: Join SDPC
How Can Psychoanalysis Change Your Life?


Here is what SDPC members say:

"The decision to enter psychoanalytic treatment and training was one of the best I ever made. Thirty years later, the multifaceted world of psychoanalysis remains exceptionally gratifying. I have received invaluable training in developing and maintaining a deepening therapeutic process with a diverse range of patients, enabling me to sustain an emotionally rewarding practice - even in the age of managed care." 

"In a larger and relational sense, the psychoanalytic community has been like an extended family for me. A bit like my own small town in which I have made lifelong friends." 

"I felt welcomed by each member I met both during classes and events organized by  SDPC. A few members worked with me to understand which program would fit me best."

Program Description
More than ever we are in the midst of a national conversation about misogyny and sexual assault. From Hollywood to Washington D.C., in corporations and institutions across the country, each day seems to bring new revelations of a culture of harassment and abuse of women. For better and worse, the topic of misogyny has never been more public or more important.
 
The goal of this two-day conference is to expand awareness of this issue beyond what is social and political, and explore the personal and internal glass ceiling experience of persevering in the face of misogyny.
 
Through an interdisciplinary and intersectional lens, the theme "Psychic Survival in the face of Misogyny: A dialectic between the internal and external glass ceiling" will be related to both current events and psychological and psychoanalytic themes.
 
As active voices from the fields of psychoanalysis, health care, education, arts, entertainment, law, technology, media, athletics, non-profit and concerned members of the community we hope to be able to take these discussions into our clinical settings, work places, schools and the larger community to strengthen our clients' and colleagues' experience, increase sensitivity to these issues, promote gender parity, and create lasting change.
 
Audience
MD's, Psychologists, LCSW's, MFT's, Registered Nurses, and other learners interested in developing understanding about gender issues.  
 
Learning Objectives
Friday Evening
At the end of this activity, participating clinicians should be able to:
1. Differentiate an internal from an external 'glass ceiling'
2. Recognize misogyny in the culture and within a patient's psyche

Saturday
At the end of this activity, participating clinicians should be able to:
1. Identify envy as a contributing factor in the internal 'glass ceiling'
2. Revise their current concept of masculinity and its impact in personal and work settings
3. Develop a constructive approach to misogyny in the workplace and treatment room

Psychic Survival in the Face of Misogyny: The Dialectic between the Internal and External Glass Ceiling

I am on the planning committee for a conference entitled taking place November 9-10 in Los Angeles. Through this convening, we will be looking at misogyny from a psychoanalytic perspective, that is, from the interface between the internal world and the external one.  I would welcome your participation in this exciting program which will examine negative attitudes towards gender in culture (including media, entertainment and politics) but through a psychoanalytic lens.  The goal is that, as psychoanalysts, we might be able to contribute to the current conversation in the community beyond our couches.
 
I have attached Save the Date (Friday, Nov.9 and Saturday, Nov. 10). The program details are in the link below at:

www.cowapla.eventbrite.com

Please feel free to forward to friends and colleagues and students of all genders and ages.  We would love to get a great group from the San Diego area. Do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.
 
Thank you for your attention and I hope to see you at the conference.
 
Sincerely,
 
Susan L. Donner, M.D.
