FIND A THERAPIST
NOT A SOCIETY EVENT
Check out APsaA's website for more details.
Registration for APsaA's 2021 National Meeting is open!
Join us for three weekends of psychoanalytic content for one registration fee! With so many sessions to choose from, it's highly recommended to view the Preliminary Program before going online to register.
It is important to register for the sessions you want since that is the only way you will receive the Zoom link!
We have reached the registration maximum for this event. If you sign up on the waitlist, we may not be able to fit you in for the February session but it will help us determine if there is enough interest to offer the program again at a later date.
The purpose of the salon is to gather in an informal setting to share basic and applied psychoanalytic principles that help you explore your interest in psychoanalysis and/or psychodynamic psychotherapy.
Description: Therapist self-disclosure has been a hotly debated topic since Freud’s recommendations for analytic neutrality, abstinence and anonymity. As societal and professional norms change, including our current internet culture where privacy issues abound, how does a modern clinician adapt while maintaining a psychodynamic stance? What might clinical decision making look like when learning your client has “googled” you, obtaining information about your personal life? How do we navigate our own visible and invisible identities as they impact the clinical space? How and when might a clinician disclose an invisible identity? We will explore clinical examples and theoretical perspectives about working psychodynamically with these complicated topics.

Description: In this presentation, we will explore, from a psychoanalytic point of view, the phenomenon of feeling aggrieved. A sense of grievance and efforts to redress feeling aggrieved can evoke inchoate aggressive responses both from individuals and from groups. But there are occasions where the felt sense of grievance can lead individuals and groups to progressive, assertive, and adaptive behavior. Grievance will be looked at from a granular level towards understanding its power as a behavioral activator. The relationship of envy, “fairness”, self-esteem, self-regard, and omnipotence to an individual’s inclination towards the experience of grievance and their mode of “metabolizing” grievance will be discussed.
Describe the powerful role of grievance as a factor in spawning both anti-social expression of aggression as well as pro-social expressions of assertive behavior.
Analyze the role of narcissistic vulnerability in spawning aggression.
