DSPP Workshops

The Dallas Society for Psychoanalytic Society, a local chapter of Division 39 (Psychoanalysis) of the American Psychological Association, hosts a variety of programs throughout the year.  Our program year runs September through May.  In addition to the monthly presentations (held on Wednesday evenings), DSPP will offer a Fall Workshop for professionals.  The Community Relations Committee provides public programs intermittently.  In addition, the DSPP Arts Committee sponsors several programs throughout the year (visit the Arts page for details).

DSPP 2011-2012 Workshops
 


September 17, 2011


Fall Workshop: Judy Kantrowitz, Ph.D.
Obstacles to Love
Saturday 8:30 - 4:00pm Training and Supervising Psychoanalyst, Faculty, Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute; Associate Clinical Professor, Harvard Medical School

Dr. Kantrowitz will focus on two different characterological patterns that interfere with the development and maintenance of intimacy. When affect intensity is managed by either freezing or flooding, the relationship to others is adversely affected. How the analyst understands and reacts to these ways of engaging will depend on his or her own characterological ways of dealing with affect and the underlying conflicts. Two clinical illustrations will be provided.

Case Presentation: Alison Ligocki, Ph.D

When Losing your Way Becomes the Treatment: Impasses and Potential Therapeutic Progress
Saturday 8:30 - 4:00pm Spring Workshop*: Jane Hall, LCSW Dancing in the Dark: Intuition as a Guiding Light
Training and Supervising Psychoanalyst at the New York Freudian Society; founder of The New York School for Psychotherapy
 
Labels such as negative therapeutic reaction or impasse (a deadlock with no anticipated progress) can box us in. Today I invite us to explore what makes the therapist resort to these labels. Using case material I will revisit the repetition compulsion and the attachment to abuse that often exhaust the dyad. My premise is that benevolent curiosity, hopefulness, caritas, and patience are what keep us going. I will remind us that change, no matter how longed for, means loss: loss of early objects, reliable (though often crippling) defenses, and even one's sense of self. What often seem like impasses can be seen as calls for help to face powerful fears of separation. Although our work seeks to cast light we must also be comfortable dancing in the dark.

Case Presentation: To Be Announced
