SUMMARY:BBL: Psychedlics and the Brain with Dr. Elizabeth Olson
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday\, October 22nd\, 2025 | 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM \nLocation: Online via Zoom (1 CE) \nCost: Participation is FREE / $17 Admin Fee for each CE \n*Registration for the lecture will close on October 22nd at 10:00 AM EST* \n\nWhat to Expect:\nPsychedelic-assisted psychotherapy is emerging as a powerful treatment for several mental health conditions. In this talk\, Dr. Olson will provide an overview of the potential psychobiological benefits of working with psilocybin\, MDMA\, and ketamine\, in conjunction with traditional psychodynamic therapy. This will be an opportunity to learn about these treatments and gain an understanding of how the brain changes in both the short and long term through the use of these medicines. \nDr. Olson will share information based on current research supporting their use in treating depression\, anxiety\, and post-traumatic stress disorder. She will explain how psychedelics increase brain plasticity and reopen critical periods\, creating the potential for the brain to shift default reactions and prior learning patterns. Therapeutic use of these medicines also creates opportunities for new emotional and relational experiences. In some cases\, these brain changes can be long-lasting\, offering much-needed relief from chronic distress. \nCourse Objectives – Participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify the primary psychedelic medicines currently being researched and used therapeutically.\n\n\nDevelop some psychobiological mechanisms of psychedelics.\n\n\nRecognize brain changes associated with psychedelic use in psychotherapy.\n\n\nDescribe evidence supporting psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy for mental health conditions.\n\n\nMeet your speaker:\nElizabeth A. Olson – PsyD\, LCSW\, CGP\nLicensed Clinical Psychologist | Licensed Clinical Social Worker\nDr. Elizabeth Olson has been in private practice in Boulder\, Colorado\, for the past 27 years. She is both a practicing psychologist and a licensed clinical social worker\, working with teens\, young adults\, adults\, parents\, families\, and couples. One of her favorite parts of the work week is facilitating long-term psychoanalytic psychotherapy groups. \nDr. Olson began studying psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy a year and a half ago and completed an eight-month training program at Naropa University. She will soon be opening her psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy practice\, primarily focusing on psilocybin. \n  \nACAP is an approved CE provider for: \nArt Therapists \nCounselors \nMarriage and Family Counselors \nNJ Psychoanalysts \nSocial Workers \nNY Creative Arts Therapists \nPsychologists

SUMMARY:NJI Fall 2025 Conference with Adam Phillips
DESCRIPTION:October 26 @ 9:00 am – 1:00 pm\, via Zoom\nOn Resistance – Adam Phillips webinar\nAdam Phillips is a psychoanalyst and one of the most influential essayists and thinkers writing today. He has authored over 20 books of essays and studies\, including On Kissing \, Tickling \, and Being Bored (1993)\, Becoming Freud: The Making of a Psychoanalyst (2014)\, Unforbidden Pleasures (2015)\, On Wanting to Change (2021)\, and his most recent works\, On Giving Up (2024) and On Second Chances: Shakespeare and Freud (2024\, co-authored with Stephen Greenblatt). His work\, widely translated and celebrated for its clarity\, depth\, and wit\, bridges clinical psychoanalysis\, cultural commentary\, and literary analysis. Phillips has held several academic positions\, including his current role as Honorary Visiting Professor in the Department of English and Related Literature at York University\, where he has taught since 2006. Phillips’ contributions extend far beyond the clinic\, addressing the intersections of human desire\, resistance\, and the unconscious both in individual and collective contexts. \nIn this lecture\, Adam Phillips will critically examine the concept of resistance in psychoanalysis\, exploring its central role in both clinical practice and theoretical discourse. Resistance\, often viewed as an impediment to therapeutic progress\, is integral to understanding the unconscious dynamics within the analytic encounter. Phillips will explore how resistance manifests not only in the patient’s reluctance to engage with painful or repressed material\, but also in the psychoanalyst’s own countertransference responses. He will argue that these resistances\, far from being mere obstacles\, are essential to the analytic process\, actively shaping its course and revealing deeper unconscious truths. Moreover\, Phillips will investigate the relationship between resistance and psychoanalytic writing\, suggesting that the challenges of translating unconscious material into language parallel those encountered in clinical work\, further highlighting the productive potential of resistance in both therapy and theory.Following the lecture\, Phillips will engage in an interactive interview about his work\, inviting audience participation to explore the complexities of resistance and its broader relevance in psychoanalytic practice\, culture\, and society. This session will provide a unique opportunity to delve deeper into the theoretical underpinnings of resistance\, offering valuable insights into its implications for contemporary psychoanalysis and beyond. \nLearning Objectives:\n\nTo explore the role of resistance in psychoanalysis\, both in clinical practice and in the writing of psychoanalytic theory.\nTo explore the ways in which resistance functions as a dynamic force in shaping unconscious life\, identity\, and social structures.\nTo examine the relationship between resistance and the political dimensions of the unconscious\, including how resistance offers insight into individual symptoms and broader political and social dynamics.\n\nContinuing Education Credits/Hours:\nFor Psychologists: This program is co-sponsored by Academy of Clinical and Applied Psychoanalysis (ACAP) and The New Jersey Institute for Training in Psychoanalysis (NJI).
