After listening attentively\, the clinician intervenes to empower the client and strengthen the ego. \nParticipants will be able to: \n\nAnalyze unconscious communication reported in dreams\, projections\, defense mechanisms\, resistances\, and transference communications.\nListen as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist.\nExplore communications for their symbolic meanings.\nDesign Interventions that can empower the client and strengthen the ego.\nAssess the impact of specific interventions to facilitate progressive communication.\n\n\nJudy Lapides\, NCPsyA\, SCPsyA\, is a National and New Jersey State Certified psychoanalyst.

SUMMARY:BBL: Transgenerational Trauma:   How it Haunts Treatment
DESCRIPTION:Brown Bag Lunch Series\nwith \nDr. Nancy Gerber\, PhD\, NCPsyA \nSeptember 18th 2024 12:00 – 1:00 pm \nOn Zoom – 1 CE \n\n\nWhat do we mean by transgenerational transmission of trauma? Transgenerational traumas are those that have not been fully processed or integrated and are passed along to successive generations. Fragments of the original trauma may become unconsciously embedded in the next generation or repeated and enacted in altered forms. \nIn “Ghosts in the Nursery” (1975)\, Selma Fraiberg\, a child psychoanalyst\, observes how the specter of parents’ unremembered\, conflicted histories leads to repetitive enactments in the parenting of children. In treatment\, patients may describe feelings that their lives are haunted by parents and ancestors. \nIn this workshop we will explore how trauma reverberates across generations and how early attachment affects the transmission of trauma. Symptoms associated with transgenerational trauma\, including aloneness\, depression\, and dissociative defenses\, will be explored. In addition\, case examples and therapeutic interventions will be presented and discussed. \nCourse Objectives – Participants will learn to:\n\nDefine transgenerational transmission of trauma and how it manifests as symptoms in successive generations.\nUnderstand how ruptures in early attachment relationships perpetuate the transmission of trauma.\nDescribe two therapeutic interventions with patients.\n\n\nDr. Nancy Gerber\, PhD\, NCPsyA | Dr. Nancy Gerber completed psychoanalytic training at the Academy of Clinical and Applied Psychoanalysis (ACAP)\, where she is a member of the faculty. She is the author of seven books\, including fiction\, memoir\, and poetry. Her chapbook\, “We Are All Refugees\,” is a series of poems describing how she was affected by her father’s experience as a refugee from the Holocaust. Her book of poetry and prose\, Fire and Ice\, was a finalist for a Gradiva Award from the National Association for the Advancement of Psychoanalysis. \n\nFor questions or information email Cassio Campello at \nevents@acapnj.org or call 973-629-1002 \n\nACAP is an approved CE provider for:\nArt Therapists — Counselors \nMarriage and Family Counselors \nNJ Psychoanalysts — NJ Social Workers \nNY Creative Arts Therapists \nPsychologists \n For full CE Information- visit our website: https://acapnj.org/ce-information/

Clients who have suffered through societal racism may bring personal unconscious family dynamics into the therapeutic relationship\, as well as issues of trust in a dyad where white therapists treat diverse clients. \n  \nOn June 19th\, 1865\, US General Gordon Granger took control in Galveston\, Texas\, informing enslaved people that they were free\, and the Civil War was officially ended. Thus\, Juneteenth was important to formerly enslaved people in this country as the date of their liberation. In Texas\, formerly enslaved people and their descendants celebrated the event annually\, keeping alive the importance of the 1865 date. Texas became the first state to name Juneteenth a state holiday. Still\, it was not until 2018 that the Texas Board of Education finally voted to document in school curricula that slavery was the leading cause of the Civil War. \n  \nOn June 17th\, 2021\, President Biden signed a bill making Juneteenth a national holiday\, recognizing that the history of slavery is a shameful blight America should admit rather than ignore. That prolonged 156-year resistance to acknowledgment highlights how the trauma of slavery can still be an open wound for many in its aftermath. We must be mindful of this cultural legacy\, especially among those seeking therapy who bring with them the historical enslavement of their ancestors. \n  \nCourse Objectives – Participants will learn to: \n\nTo sensitize clinicians to the racism integral to the founding doctrines of the United States\nTo understand how clients in psychotherapy may continue to be affected by the trauma of slavery\nTo identify transference and countertransference dynamics that unfold as a result of bias\nTo discuss the historical significance of Juneteenth and the importance of recognizing the psychic scars of slavery that clients may carry into current therapeutic relationships\n\n\nDr. Demetria DeLia\, PhD. \nDr. DeLia is a faculty member\, training analyst\, supervisor and Dean of Research at ACAP/ICPS. Dr. DeLia holds a MSW degree and a MA in Education and is a member of the Diversity and Inclusion Team. \n\nRev.

SUMMARY:NJI & ACAP Event | Spring Workshop: What Words Can't Say
DESCRIPTION:Howard B. Levine M.D. \nSunday\, June 2nd 2024\, 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm\, via Zoom \nThe last day to register for this event is May 28th\, 2024. \n\n  \nHoward B. Levine\, is a member of APSA\, PINE\, the Contemporary Freudian Society and Pulsion\, on the faculty of NYU Post-Doc’s Contemporary Freudian Track\, on the Editorial Board of the IJP and Psychoanalytic Inquiry\, editor-in-chief of the Routledge Wilfred Bion Studies Book Series and in private practice in Brookline\, Massachusetts. He is the author of Transformations de l’Irreprésentable (Ithaque 2019) and Affect\, Representation and Language: Between the Silence and the Cry (Routledge 2022) and editor of The Post Bionian Field Theory of Antonino Ferro (Routledge 2022)\, The Freudian Matrix of Andre Green: Towards a Psychoanalysis for the 21st Century by André Green (Routledge/IPA 2023) and Andre Green’s On The Destruction and Death Drives (Phoenix/Karnac 2023). His co-edited books include Unrepresented States and the Construction of Meaning (Karnac 2013); On Freud’s Screen Memories (Karnac 2014); The Wilfred Bion Tradition (Karnac 2016); Bion in Brazil (Karnac 2017); The Clinical Thinking of W.R. Bion in Brazil (Routledge 2024); André Green Revisited: Representation and the Work of the Negative (Karnac 2018); Psychoanalysis and Covidian Life (Phoenix 2021); Psychoanalysis of the Psychoanalytic Frame Revisited: A New Look at Bleger’s Classical Work (Routledge/IPA 2022); On the Destruction and Death Drives by André Green (Phoenix 2023); and Autistic Phenomena and Unrepresented States: Explorations in the Emergence of Self (Phoenix 2023). ______________________________________________________________________________________ \n Psychoanalysis is the “talking cure\,” but the problems raised by language are complex\, paradoxical and perhaps unsolvable. At their most effective\, words play a vital role in psychic homeostatic regulation and the psychoanalytic process that is analogous to the architecturally structural role played by the keystone of an arch. The problem\, however\, is that words can be used to reveal or conceal\, to convey meaning or obscure\, distort\, hide\, fragment or evacuate meaning. And sometimes the very nature of language falls short of being able to capture and adequately communicate the psychic dimensions of our emotional lives. This presentation will explore the limitations of words and language in psychoanalysis from the perspective of the work of Freud\, Bion and Green \n. __________________________________________________________________  \n2 Continuing Education Credits/Hours Level: All levels The last day to register for this event is May 28\, 2024.  \nFor registration: https://www.njinstitute.com/spring-workshop-what-words-cant-say/  \nFor more information please call 201-836-1065\, or visit us online at www.njinstitute.com

SUMMARY:Adulting on the Spectrum:  Challenges in Treatment
DESCRIPTION:with \nLisa Thomas\, SCPsyA\, LPAT\, LPC\, ACS\, ATCS \nBrown Bag Lunch Series\nApril 17th 2024 12:00 – 1:00 pm \nOn Zoom – 1 CE \nNo Fee – Suggested Donation Welcomed \n\n\nJoin Lisa Thomas exploring challenges of “Adulting” on the Spectrum”\, and cases where ideas of Adulting seem almost impossible and terrifying for patients and parents. Ms. Thomas describes how therapist’s feelings in sessions\, can seem powerful\, yet indescribable in words. This parallels the patient’s sense of emotional disconnectedness in their world. The therapist’s openness to joining in a sense of bewilderment is a foothold in the therapeutic relationship. \nLearn\, with Lisa\, how using this shared bond of verbal and nonverbal communication can be an effective tool promoting a sense of safety while navigating the adulting transition. Discover how connecting with what patients feel frustrating\, like indescrible ideas or feelings\, can be a clinical advantage\, opening emotional doors. Understanding that another person is willing to struggle through confusion and unknowing together\, provides a powerful foundation of safety. \nWe can imagine an adolescent sinking into negativity as a torturous way to escape a more painful reality – self-blame and self-loathing. it is much easier to blame a negligent or assaulting world than oneself. How do we help these young adults understand they have choices\, can plan and steer their own path? \nOften\, too\, feelings such as rejection\, incompetence\, and blankness may represent a more secure emotional space for these young adults than the threat of independence and self-advocacy. Learn interventions to help balance these needs in the therapeutic relationship as Ms. Thomas describes her fascinating cases. \n  \nCourse Objectives – Participants will learn to: \n\nUnderstand and Utilize verbal and nonverbal communication as an effective tool promoting a sense of safety.\nDesign interventions to help balance defensive\, negative belief systems with the maturational need for autonomy.\nValue the success-oriented inclusion of patients and parents in treatment decisions.\nPromote curiosity about oneself and others as a way to connect and to form one’s identity.\nUnderstand induced feelings\, their positive or negative impact on treatment.\n\n\nLisa Thomas is a certified Art Therapist and Modern Psychoanalyst with an MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. She has worked in private practice in Livingston\, NJ for 15 years\, and as an art therapist and clinical supervisor in a psychiatric hospital for 23 years. Lisa also supervises art therapy and psychodynamic therapy interns at the hospital. Since 2018\, she has been a founding member\, supervisor\, and Administrative Director of iStrive\, a program aimed at helping young adults on the autism spectrum. \n\nFor questions or information email Susan Carnes at \ninfo@acapnj.org or call 862-216-2400 \n\nACAP is an approved CE provider for: \nArt Therapists — Counselors \nMarriage and Family Counselors \nNJ Psychoanalysts — NJ Social Workers \nNY Creative Arts Therapists \nPsychologists — Nurses \n For full CE Information- visit our website\, https://acapnj.org/ce-information/

SUMMARY:BBL | A Psychoanalytic Understanding of Autism
DESCRIPTION:Brown Bag Lunch Series\nA Psychoanalytic Understanding of Autism with George Grant\, LPC \nNovember 15\, 2023 12:00 – 1:00pm \nOn Zoom – 1 CE \n\n  \nIn 1975 Donald Meltzer formulated Adhesive Identification and described this concept in relation to his theory of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Mr. Grant will discuss the three types of patients who fall within Meltzer’s spectrum theory. It is felt that all three groups of patients exhibit “adhesive identification\,” which is closely connected with mimicry\, shallowness\, and externalization of values and is different from projective identification\, while both adhesive and projective types are are viewed as forms of narcissistic identification. There are many theorists grappling with the multidimensional and symptom variable nature of ASD. It is agreed that autism studies are\, by nature\, multi-discipline and encompass fields of neuroscience\, psychology\, psychoanalysis\, sociology\, learning specialties. Mr. Grant offers an opportunity to look at this controversial subject from a respected theorist’s perspective on the relationship between attachment\, neuroscience\, and identity: Donald Meltzer. \n  \nThe classical world hinted at the contrasting natures of autism and psychosis in Ovid’s “Echo and Narcissus.” Bernard Crespi and Christopher Badcock (Crespi & Badcock\, 2008) suggested much the same notion in their diametric theory of autism and psychosis. \nRecently\, neuroscience has placed autism at one end of a scale of developmental neural pruning\, when the brain sloughs off synaptic connections or accumulated\, but no longer needed learning\, and psychosis at the other. There is too little neural pruning in the former\, and there is too much in the latter. This leads to specific functional and personality presentations in each case. \n  \nThe under-pruned autistic brain calls for socio-emotional interaction that differs from that needed by the excessively-pruned brain of someone in psychosis. \nWe will be considering: \n\nThe concept of contact functioning as a relationship preservative intervention.\nInterventions to promote a sense of safety.\nInterventions addressing stimulation regulation techniques in the face of meltdowns or withdrawal\, and strategies for maximizing the power of intuition and imagination.\n\nCourse Objectives – Participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify the three types of patients in Adhesive Identification.\nUnderstand narcisstic identification as it pertains to Autism Spectrum Disorders.\nDesign therapeutic interventions based on contact functioning for an underpruned brain.\nDescribe the importance of intuition and imagination in interventions with patients on the spectrum.\n\n\nGeorge Grant\, LPC\nMr. Grant started working life as an electrical engineer in telecom. During the telecom bust of the early 2000s\, he turned the crisis into greater meaning by becoming a high school physics teacher. In an effort for this recovering engineer to better understand his students\, he started taking a class each semester in the evening at ACAP in Livingston\, NJ\, in 2007. Today\, Mr. Grant has an MA in Mental Health Counseling from the Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis\, holds an ABAP-accredited psychoanalytic certificate from ACAP\, is a licensed professional counselor\, and is a state-certified psychoanalyst in the State of NJ. \nHe has retired from teaching\, has a growing clinical practice\, and has been one of the founding members of iStrive\, a program for young adults on the spectrum who have aged out of other programs. He has also recently facilitated groups part-time at the JCNV for three years and works for Monmouth Integrative Counseling. Mr. Grant also holds a BSEE and an MBA and has endorsements in teaching mathematics and physical science at the secondary level from NJ. \n\nFor questions or information email Susan Carnes at info@acapnj.org or call 862-216-2400 \nACAP is an approved provider for: \nArt Therapists \nCounselors \nMarriage and Family Counselors \nNJ Psychoanalysts \nNJ Social Workers \nNY Creative Arts Therapists \nPsychologists \nNurses
