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.
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.
