• Microenactments as the Gateway to the Internal World: Integrating Object Relations and Relational Analysis with Infancy Research

    ICP 33 W 60th St., 4FL, New York, United States

    In this in-person workshop, Stephen Seligman, DMH, in conversation with Ed Corrigan, PhD, explores how the tiniest moments between patient and therapist—sometimes just a few seconds—can reveal deep, emotionally charged patterns of relating. Drawing on relational and object relations theories, infant observation research, and traditional Freudian concepts, they will use video of infant–parent interaction to illuminate how “ordinary” technical choices often reflect our participation in powerful, often unnoticed enactments, which can be deadening, upsetting, enlivening, or deeply transformative. 2 NYS CE Credits.

  • Listening to Microenactments: A Clinical Workshop

    ICP 33 W 60th St., 4FL, New York, United States

    This small-group seminar expands on the themes of Friday’s lecture, exploring how even seemingly ordinary clinical decisions often reflect deeper transference–countertransference dynamics. Together, we will examine how analysts and patients co-create micro-enactments—brief, seconds-long interactions that reveal which internal “characters” are coming alive in the therapeutic relationship. A case presentation will illustrate how these rapid, enactive processes shape the analytic encounter. Participation is limited to 25 people, and while attending the Friday lecture is encouraged, it is not required.

  • Family as Medicine: Conscious Parenting and Nervous System Support in Eating Disorder Recovery

    Online Event
    Virtual Event

    Working with eating disorders often feels like a tug-of-war. You provide the best evidence-based care, but the progress stalls once the client returns to their home environment. To truly sustain recovery, we must move beyond the individual and address the relational biology of the family. This workshop goes beneath the surface of behavioral interventions to explore the neurobiology of the family unit. 2 CE Credits.

  • SICP Lecture Series: Uncanny Communication: When Unspoken Minds Touch

    ICP 33 W 60th St., 4FL, New York, United States

    What happens when the psychic boundary presumed to separate analyst and patient is breached by telepathic transmission?

    Drawing on clinical material, de Peyer proposes a shift from assumptions of psychic separation to non-sensory, field-based communication that challenges prevailing analytic epistemologies. Through two contrasting cases of unbidden telepathic transmission, she explores both the dilemmas and generative potential of uncanny phenomena—such as telepathic dreams—situating them within a relational, two-person field. She suggests that moments of uncanny attunement, when met with openness and tolerance of uncertainty, can serve as portals to previously unavailable clinical material. 2 NYS CE Credits.

    Online Event

The session explores the tension between body-neutral health approaches and the renewed societal pressure for weight loss driven by the widespread availability and celebrity endorsement of these drugs. Targeted at clinicians and students, the event offers 1.5 NYS continuing education credits and focuses on navigating the current "whiplash" of diet culture.

    When couples haven’t had sex

    in a long time they often feel hopeless and therapists often feel unsure how to help them. This presentation will explore how to shift couples from a state of sexual disconnection to an experience of erotic discovery.

    We will discuss how to understand common underlying dynamics as well as identify and transform narratives maintaining sexual avoidance.
