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.
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.
This virtual presentation, led by Melainie Rogers on May 29, 2026, examines whether the Health at Every Size (HAES) framework remains relevant in a culture increasingly dominated by GLP-1RA medications like Ozempic. 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. Included is how to conduct a culturally sensitive relational sexual history to develop counter-narratives that enhance erotic connection. 6 NYS & 6 AASECT CE Credits. With Suzanne Iasenza, PhD

Are you equipped to spot the subtle, early warning signs of an eating disorder before a formal diagnosis is ever made?
Early intervention is critical, yet real-world presentations rarely match textbook definitions. To bridge this gap, the Center for the Study of Anorexia and Bulimia (CSAB) invites you to a three-session, interactive online seminar hosted by the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy (ICP).
Once you recognize that a patient may have an eating disorder, do you know what should happen next? Eating-disorder treatment is never one-size-fits-all. Healthcare and community professionals must understand available treatment approaches, recognize when a higher level of care is needed, and help patients and families navigate appropriate next steps.
Led by Marissa Sappho, LCSW, BCD, CEDS-S, founder of Aurora Behavioral Health, this four-session seminar provides a practical framework for understanding the treatment landscape, collaborating across disciplines, and facilitating appropriate referrals.
Exploring how clinicians can engage eroticism in analysis, navigating anxiety, trauma, vitality, and transformation while deepening the analytic relationship.
This presentation explores how clinicians can work psychoanalytically with patients whose bodily preoccupations serve a dissociative function. Through four clinical vignettes, it examines somatic countertransference, reverie, and theoretical reframing as tools to foster symbolization, mentalization, and psychological integration.
