IPA webinar: The 3-LM's Contribution to Developments in Analytical Treatment
Sunday 20th September 2020, 16:00 – 17:30 UK (Local times are shown in the drop down on the registration page)
This webinar will be in English.
Panellists: Margaret Ann Fitzpatrick-Hanly, Luisa Pérez-Suquilvide, Marianne Leuzinger Bohleber
Moderator: Eléana Mylona
The Three-Level Model for tracking transformations in psychoanalysis was developed as an observational tool that allows us to explore the patient’s difficulties and to observe the beneficial functional changes in them, studying sessions from the opening, middle and late phases of an analysis, in three consecutive approaches. The 3-LM explores changes in the patient in the ordinary language of the verbatim session material, then conceptualises the transformations, and then studies the relationship between the transformations and interpretations as they change over the course of the analysis. In this webinar Margaret Ann, Marianne and Luisa will introduce us to the challenge of modern psychoanalysis to find ways to observe when and how psychoanalysis brings about a "profound change in personality".
Register for your free place below; if you are unable to attend the live session but would like to receive a recording, please continue to register and a recording will be automatically emailed to you once the live session has ended.

New Languages/Old Worlds: the Self in Translation
Presenter: Jhumpa Lahiri
Discussant: Daria Colombo, MD
Tuesday, October 6th at 8pm
Location: your living room!
Register below to receive Zoom Link.
The Association for Psychoanalytic Medicine is delighted to begin our 2020 all Zoom program with novelist Jhumpa Lahiri, in a conversation about her experience as a self-described “linguistic exile”. As someone who grew up in the interface of two disparate languages, Jhumpa Lahiri has elected to read and write exclusively in a new one: Italian. Though her mother tongue was Bengali, she moved from London at the age of two to Rhode Island, and went on to conduct the entirety of her extensive education in English, earning two MA’s (one in English and the other Comparative Literature), an MFA in Creative Writing and a PhD in Renaissance Studies. Despite this academic background and the fact that almost all of her acclaimed literary achievements to date have been in English, she now only reads and writes in Italian and has said: “English denotes a heavy burdensome aspect of my past. I’m tired of it.” Her most recent work, which she describes as “a sort of linguistic autobiography, a self -portrait” is called In Altre Parole and was published in the US in 2016 in a dual language version also entitled In Other Words. Dr. Daria Colombo, a psychoanalyst who was born and raised in Italy, will interview Ms. Lahiri about her linguistic odyssey and her conscious and at times arduous adoption of an entirely new language.
Jhumpa Lahiri is the author of two collections of short fiction: Interpreter of Maladies (1999) and Unaccustomed Earth (2008) and two novels “The Namesake (2003)” and “The Lowland (2013)” and most recently “In Altre Parole/In Other Words (2016)” and “The Clothing of Books (2016)” originally published in Italian. She currently publishes, writes, and translates her own and the work of others in Italian. She has written a novel in Italian, Dove mi trovo (2018)” and edited and wrote the introduction for the Penguin Classics Book of Italian Short Stories (2019). She has taught at Princeton University since 2015 and in 2019 became the Director of the University’s creative writing program. She has won a Pulitzer Prize for her book “Interpreter of Maladies”, has been short- listed for the Man Booker Prize and the National Book award. She has won numerous awards and fellowships including a Guggenheim Fellowship, the PEN Hemingway award, the Asian American Literary Award, and a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship. She was also awarded a 2014 National Humanities Medal by President Barack Obama.
Daria Colombo MD
Daria Colombo was born in Rome, where her parents still live, and is a psychoanalyst in New York City. She is on the faculty of The New York Psychoanalytic Institute, and Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medical College.
Registration is required to attend. |

Learning objectives:
After attending this session, participants should be able to:
- Describe the complex interplay between the development of the self and language acquisition throughout the life cycle.
- Demonstrate the ways that acquisition of a new language in adulthood may restructure autobiographical memory and create new channels for self-expression.

Early theorists of human sexuality typically conflated the concepts of sexuality and gender. In the mid-19th century, Karl Heinrich Ulrichs theorized that what would later come to be called male "homosexuality" was "caused" by a woman's spirit being trapped in a man's body. Richard von Krafft-Ebing defined presentations of people with atypical gender expressions as "homosexuality." And Freud, in his theorizing about Leonardo da Vinci, attributed the latter's homosexuality to an "identification" with the mother-an idea not so much unlike a woman's spirit trapped in a man's body. How do we understand today the relation between gender and sexuality? How do the meanings of these terms relate not only to each other, but also to their embodied and subjective experiences? What has been the impact of psychiatric diagnoses, such as "gender identity disorder" or "homosexuality," on individuals and on society at large? Where should contemporary psychoanalysts situate themselves in this scientific and cultural discourse? These are just some of the questions that will be explored by the panelists.

In 1967, when Jo was ten years old, her father moved their family to an all-black town in the Mississippi Delta, where they were drawn into the civil rights movement. Because of this experience, Jo is committed to advocating for equal rights for all.

Jeremy is a transgender man who grew up in a suburb of Austin, Texas, describing himself as a tomboy. At twenty-three, he had top surgery. At twenty-four, he changed his name to Jeremy, asked to be referred to with male pronouns, and began taking hormones to lower his voice and further masculinize his physique. At twenty-five, he changed his legal name. He kept a video journal for much of his transition; those recordings are the basis for the book, Once a Girl, Always a Boy. Jeremy has been the keynote speaker at the Texas Transgender Nondiscrimination Summit and the Austin ADL’s Teen Summit. He addresses student and community groups about what it was like to grow up trans in Texas and Colorado.

Repairing the Irreparable, Bearing the Unbearable: Clinical Work with Formerly Incarcerated People
Presented by Beth Kita, PhD |
|
A deeply moving presentation of psychodynamic therapy with highly traumatized people.
-Janelle Sharp, PCC Communications Chair |
|
People who commit irreparable acts of violence are often assumed to not want to know what they have done; psychoanalysis suggests that perhaps they do not always know how to know what they have done. In this paper, I discuss my clinical work with people who, sentenced to life in prison after being convicted of murder, have now returned home. I explore the ways in which the "lifers" have often spent decades developing the capacity to reckon with what they have done (and, frequently, what was done to them) despite being confined in traumatogenic institutions that functioned to thwart such growth. Using case material, I reflect on the ways in which psychoanalytic theory helps me to navigate the overwhelm of violent crimes and violent punishments, and the unresolved trauma that usually precedes both. I'll offer some ideas about how we can and why we should develop our collective capacities to bear and to repair - in the hopes of transforming the trauma that incarceration reenacts. |

Learning objectives: At the conclusion of this presentation, participants will be able to:
- Describe the proliferation of life sentences in the United States and its disproportionate impact on Black and Brown people.
- Identify some of the reasons, from a psychoanalytic perspective, why people who commit murder and are sentenced to life in prison are driven to understand and transform the harm they've caused.
- Explain why working with people who have endured and perpetrated violence can be challenging for clinicians.

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."

Dr. Timothy Rayner employs a Registered Psychological Assistant. Psychological Assistants are typically advanced in their clinical training, but not yet fully licensed and able to practice independently. These clinicians work under my supervision and function as my employee. Accordingly, the psychological assistant can provide services that may be not covered by insurances and offer reduced fee services based on financial need.
Autumn Lewis, Registered Psychological Assistant, received her M.A. in Clinical Psychology from California School of Professional Psychology (CSPP), San Diego. Currently, she is a doctoral candidate in the Clinical Psychology Psy.D. Program at CSPP. Her clinical experiences encompass training in multiple settings. These include couple therapy, inpatient psychiatric care, long-term psychodynamic therapy, and substance use treatment. Autumn utilizes a relational psychodynamic approach, meaning that relationship patterns which present themselves in everyday life are also present in the therapeutic relationship.
Autumn is passionate about forging a collaborative partnership with her patients, one in which problems and suffering can be addressed together. Emotional suffering can be incredibly painful and isolative. Autumn strives to be a trustworthy confidant who can help to alleviate past wounds in order to promote healing and growth within her patients. She can be reached at 858.228.0982 or autumn.sdtherapy@gmail.com.
