Experiences of feeling haunted and of being in the presence of ghosts are prominent in narratives of patients/people of color in the United States and of mixed-race identity. A creative reading of Hans Loewald’s evocative statement on therapeutic action, the process of transforming “ghosts into ancestors,” is used to explore a way of being with and healing patients with mixed-race identities who are imprisoned in melancholic states.

The presentation begins with an introduction by Michael Garrett, MD, who briefly summarizes the recent renewed interest in trauma-informed psychotherapeutic treatments for psychotic conditions. Dr. Garrett then introduces a series of interviews he conducted with seven PGYIII psychiatric residents who describe the impact that training in psychological approaches to psychosis had on their treatment of their psychotic patients and the effect of this training on their developing identities as early career psychiatrists.
The Complex Psychology of Being Adopted: What Clinicians Need to Know - Linda Mayers, PhD, and Doris Bertocci, LCSW (Recorded)

  • 1.00 ASWB-ACE
  • 1.00 Contact Hours/ Participation
$0.00
The adoption and mental health fields have viewed adoption as being only about children. Adopted adolescents are a more recent afterthought, with adults nowhere on the radar. From their psychodynamic perspectives on the psychology of being adopted, the presenters maintain that therapists often do not recognize the critical differences between adopted and non-adopted patients, or the need for important modifications in treatment. This requires specialized advanced training.

Since 2020, “The Summer of Racial Reckoning,” professionals across fields and industries began to pay laser-like attention to issues of diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice. Assessment professionals in various settings have struggled and, in some cases, plainly stated that these topics are too political to have relevance for our work.
Subjectivity in Radical Ethics - Donna Orange, PhD, PsyD (Recorded)

  • 1.50 Contact Hours/ Participation
  • 1.50 Risk Management Study
$0.00
Radical ethics, a philosophical position recognizing the priority of the other over the ego, specifically concerns the other’s suffering. It refuses to see the other as an instance of a category or concept, and therefor holds immense significance for workers in any mental health profession. But it can seem to deny, or minimize the needs of these workers, or of any individual’s needs in the face of the other’s suffering, and thus comes up against undeniable human limitations. It also raises the psychoanalytic problem of masochism.
The Tao of K-drama: Reflections on Displacement, Trauma, and Recovery - Mindy Thompson Fullilove, MD, HON AIA, DLFAPA (Recorded)
  • 1.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™

  • 1.00 Contact Hours/ Participation
$0.00
This presentation will focus on South Korean television series known as “K-drama,” a genre that tells stories in 16-20 one-hour episodes. The stories focus on individuals in crisis, who resolve their issues in several steps that lead to a deeper engagement with their friends and family. This “team” then is able to tackle larger problems of the society. This optimistic drama form offers insight, drawn from the syncretic philosophical and religious traditions of Korea, into the recovery of individuals and groups, from an array of traumas and social upheavals.
Paving with Good Intentions: A Story of Psychotherapy Research - Matthew Baity, PhD, ABPP (Recorded)

  • 1.00 Contact Hours/ Participation
$0.00
The purpose of this talk is to provide the audience with a review of psychotherapy research over the past century. Instead of just presenting a listing of studies, a case will be made that this information needs to be considered within larger contexts. The “need” for psychotherapy research emerged as a confluence of psychology in early adolescence, professional politics, and the health care industry.

In psychoanalytic psychotherapy, the frame of the treatment, provides a setting and container that is negotiated at the outset of treatment and is aimed at facilitating therapeutic engagement that is ethical, allows for a treatment process to emerge and be examined, and becomes a site of action and examination for both therapist and patient. In this lecture, the most concrete and basic elements of why a negotiated frame is essential to the work of psychoanalytic psychotherapy and the basic steps to think about in negotiating a flexible therapeutic frame for treatment are reviewed.
