We are looking forward to coming together as community, in large group and in small groups, to clarify our hopes, values and identities as an institute that is dedicated to growth. We will have the opportunity to address past and current injuries, with the help of facilitators, so that we may learn, heal and be stronger going forward.
Dr. Dianne Elise will be making use of a Winnicottian formulation of the analytic field to highlight the often unspoken, implicit erotic dimensions of our work.
This conference explores ways to identify and diagram the couple’s dance using the Vulnerability Cycle Diagram first described by Mona Fishbane and Michele Scheinkman in 2004. Dr. Fishbane’s approach enhances partners’ relational empowerment, including self-regulation, choice, living according to one’s higher goals and values, and reaching for one’s “best self.” Dr. Constance Cannon will be presenting a middle-aged, heterosexual couple. She and Dr. Fishbane will discuss how the concepts presented can be applied to the clinical case material.
In this ICP+P Roundtable, we will discuss how “beginning with Fanon” can be an entry point to disrupting settler colonial violence in the clinic, coercive ideological practices of our field, and, most importantly, how we might move collectively toward anti-oppressive praxis.
Dr. Nagel will explore how the allure of celebrity in music may provide fertile ground for sexual, erotic, and romantic boundary crossings in the teacher and student dyad. The same dynamic may occur in other dyads in which there is a power differential, such as therapist and patient or supervisor and supervisee. The psychological and institutional fallout from such boundary crossings is powerful, shameful, and harmful to everyone involved.
In this ICP+P Roundtable, as an African-American Black male therapist, Marvin Evans, will share his thoughts and experiences on the topic based on his perspective as someone trained in the Eurocentric models of psychotherapy, while negotiating models of efficacy drawn from theory as well as cultural ethos.

The conference will be in two parts. In the first part of the day, Arthur Gray will present on Joseph Lichtenberg’s ideas about power and personal efficacy. In the second part of the conference, Marie Hellinger and Elizabeth Carr will present ideas from their recently published paper (2021) on self psychology and aggression.
Dr. Ipp and Dr. Slavin will play out the therapeutic relationship between therapist and patient to show the process of probing and negotiating the universal, human existential challenges around otherness and loss that therapists inevitably share with their patients.
Dr. Cooper will explore how the concept of play can help us understand clinical process and allow us to engage patients in new and meaningful ways.
