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.
The Institute of Contemporary Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis (ICP+P), created a series of conferences, the Relational Perspective Institute (RPI) over four weekends in 2009-2010. This project was inspired by the recognition of a fundamental paradigm shift in psychoanalysis and psychodynamic psychotherapy from Freud’s drive structure theories and toward a set of perspectives that place human relationships and relational needs at the center of psychoanalytic theory and practice. In the original RPI, the foundations of relational theory and practice were described by five luminary thinkers from the relational field.
Dr. Hershberg will describe her maternal self experience in greater depth with reference to maternal gazes including the loving empathic mother and “the uncanny” ambivalent (m)other, contextualized by Winnicott’s (1971) template of the mother’s face as a mirror for the baby’s image of herself.
We invite the ICP+P community to join us for a virtual meeting to remember Joe and to celebrate his life on July 19, 2021 from 7:30 pm to 9:00 pm.
At this time of historical, cultural, social and political upheaval, many of us are processing and incorporating the impact of external events on our clients and their families into our work. Historical as well as personal trauma often adversely impact our clients’ families and cast shadows on their internal and interpersonal development. As psychotherapists and psychoanalysts, we are broadening our lens beyond the intrapsychic and interpersonal to include the historical and transgenerational. In considering the appearance and impact of intergenerational transmissions of trauma, Dr. Salberg examines the dissociative states of mind that cross from parents to their children.
This interactive conference “So How Unconscious is Your Bias?” will endeavor to create a space in which mental health professionals will gather and think, talk and explore together how bias, whether or not we notice it, impacts every aspect of our clinical and institutional encounters.
