Welcome

I am very excited to start our new year, Oct. 3 with our first speaker, Bhaskar Sripada, MD. Bhaskar graduated from the Chicago Institute, is a very well known and respected analyst, maintaining a practice here in Chicago. He will discuss a book he recently published which is a description of an analysis that was recorded, hence he presents sessions word-for-word. In addition he explains what he was thinking in sessions and why he said what he said to the patient The presentation is certain to be enlightening and engaging. This meeting will be held at the Institute’s new offices at 8 S. Michigan Avenue, 7th floor. We hope many people can attend in person, refreshments will be served following Bhaskar’s talk. Of course we will be on Zoom for folks who are not able to attend in person. The zoom link will be sent to all people who register.

We have many stimulating speakers lined up for the 2023-2024 year—including but not limited to, Marila Aisenstein, Robert Tyminsk, Gavin Mullen, Yvonne Maratos and Nahaleh Moshtaghi. A list of dates will soon be available on our link, “upcoming events”.

As always, I encourage everyone to become a member of the Society. Some advantages are; CEU’s are offered only to members; small study groups will also be organized for members who want to read papers by some of our speakers in more depth and lastly, when completed, the Annual of Psychoanalysis, produced and edited by the Society will be provided at no cost to members of the Society.

We are also welcoming new leadership to the Society this year. Stephanie Fariss has been elected President Elect and will assume the Presidency in 2024 and Christopher Rigling has been elected Treasurer. Both are graduates and faculty members of CPI, and together will enrich Society leadership with their backgrounds in business, law and finance as well as decades of clinical experience.

Warmest wishes,  Lucy Freund

Topic: Finding Inspiration in the Clinical Hour

Presenter: Gavin Mullen, PsyD

Gavin Mullen, PsyD, is a member and former officer of the Chicago Psychoanalytic Society.  She is a training and supervising analyst on the faculty of the Chicago Psychoanalytic Institute and Board Certified by The American Psychoanalytic Association.  She has served on the editorial boards of the International Journal of Psychoanalysis and the American Journal of Psychoanalysis - and also on the Certification Board of the American Psychoanalytic Association.  Dr. Mullen edited The Selected Papers of Arnold Goldberg (IPBooks, 2017).  She maintains a fulltime practice in Northbrook, IL, as a psychoanalyst and clinical psychologist.


Description:  Gavin Mullen, PsyD, will describe several clinical moments that required something beyond technique. She calls them moments of inspiration. Where does this come from, the psychotherapist's inspiration? When we make our interventions with our patients, we draw on our own training, our knowledge of technique, as well as our own good internal objects and receptive states of mind. Dr. Mullen will explore these areas that contribute to inspired interventions, as well as moments when inspiration fails. She will invite the audience members to join with her in searching into each clinical vignette and finding their own sources of inspiration.

 

Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of the presentation, attendees will be able to:

  1. recognize moments that call for an intervention beyond technique;
  2. describe possible interventions that can be used in such situations.


Admission is free. Continuing Education Credits are offered exclusively to Society members in all membership categories and those intending to join.
