Welcome to the Chicago Psychoanalytic Society!
Organized June 8, 1931 and accepted as a Constituent Society by the American Psychoanalytic Association in 1932, the Society's mission is to advance the field of psychoanalysis through the promotion of education and research by its members and the the community-at-large; to maintain and promote professional and ethical standards of the profession; to promote professional activities of its members by assisting career development and generating marketing opportunities; and to enhance the vitality of the Society by encouraging a diversity of opinion, assessing the interests of its members, facilitating member involvement in Society activities and fostering a collegial community.
The Society is committed to maintaining an educational environment free from sexual harassment, sexual violence, and discrimination based on race, color, sex, age, religion, disability, national origin, sexual orientation, or any other basis prohibited by law. It also strives to initiate, welcome, and maintain ongoing conversations and discussions related to inclusivity among its members and the community-at-large.
Upcoming Program co-sponsored by: The Chicago Psychoanalytic Institute Enactment: Its Provocation by the Analyst Presenter: Robert Grossmark, PhD, ABPP Tuesday, April 22, 2025, at 7:00 – 9:00 PM Central time By Zoom Only
Robert Grossmark, PhD, ABPP is a psychoanalyst in New York City. He works with individuals, groups and couples and conducts psychoanalytic consultation and study groups online and in person. He teaches and supervises at the New York University Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis, The National Institute for the Psychotherapies and The National Training Program in Psychoanalysis, and lectures nationally and internationally. He is an Associate Editor for Psychoanalytic Dialogues. He is the author of The Unobtrusive Relational Analyst: Explorations in Psychoanalytic Companioning and co-edited The One and the Many: Relational Approaches to Group Psychotherapy and Heterosexual Masculinities: Contemporary Perspectives from Psychoanalytic Gender Theory.
This presentation will outline how the analyst can unobtrusively create the space within which the fullness of the patient’s unsymbolized internal world and trauma can be realized and companioned. It will incorporate both Laplanche’s idea that the analyst provokes the transference and Winnicott’s Fear of Breakdown to outline how treatment hinges on mutual enactments that narrate the earliest object relations, trauma, neglect and un-experienced breakdown such that unsymbolized states can be companioned, known and thus transformed. This involves the un-telling and un-doing of prior “translations”, personality structures and relational patterns such that being and time can be re-assembled and re-integrated.
