Fall Conference: Integrating Community and Psychoanalytic Approaches to Psychosis - Psychoanalytic Approaches to Clinical Work with Clients Experiencing Psychosis and Extreme States

  • November 23, 2024
  • 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM

Registration


What do psychoanalytic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis have to offer to people experiencing extreme states of consciousness? How can psychoanalytic theory be most helpful for clients diagnosed with psychosis? How do therapeutic providers attend to and connect with other aspects of client’s care in the community?

During the morning session, Nancy Burke, PhD, will present a paper with her reflections on what is and isn’t working in models of treatment for psychosis and will engage in what is offered by a psychoanalytic approach. Dr. Burke’s expertise challenges predominant ideas about working in depth therapeutically with clients experiencing extreme states and/or diagnosed with psychosis. In the afternoon session, Dr. Burke will offer a “live supervision” of a clinical case to demonstrate the ways in which a depth orientation to therapeutic work can be especially generative for these clients. 

MPSI has collaborated with the Minnesota Branch of the US Chapter of the International Society for Psychological and Social Approaches to Psychosis (ISPS-US-MN) to develop this conference. ISPS-US promotes psychological and social approaches to states of mind often diagnosed as "psychosis" by providing education, training, advocacy, and opportunities for dialogue between service providers, people with lived experience, family members, activists, and researchers. 

The conference will also include a brief introduction to ISPS, presented by Kathleen Herling, Minnesota Branch Chair of ISPS, and a presentation on local arts-based treatment/anti-institutional programs by Sasha Warren of Avivo Artworks and author of Storming Bedlam: Madness, Utopia, and Revolt.


A continental breakfast and lunch will be served.
