    BACKGROUND: 

    On Juneteenth 2023, the Holmes Commission on Racial Equality in American Psychoanalysis released their final report. The Holmes Commission on Racial Equality (CO-REAP) was established within the American Psychoanalytic Association on recommendation of the Black Psychoanalysts Speak national organization. CO-REAP’s purpose is to identify and to find remedies for apparent and implicit manifestations of structural racism that may reside within American psychoanalysis. The Final Report is based on the study of American psychoanalytic institutes, training centers and societies within and across different organizational auspices. 
     
    As encouraged by CO-REAP, this Reading Group will provide relational space to study, process, and discuss the Report’s findings and recommendations. The intention of these reading groups is to help our community develop a collective understanding of the implications of this Report as we commit to making psychoanalysis as diverse, equitable, inclusive, open, and vibrant as it can be. 

    Julian Ernst, MSW, LICSW and Nancy Lawroski, PhD, LP will host this monthly group reading of the Report over Zoom. Attendees will participate by reading sections of the report aloud and discussing responses to the text as a group.

    Did Something Just Go South?

    When the Patient Sounds More Defeated by the End of a Session.

    Presented bJoan Lentz Ph.D, L.P., FABP

    Understanding in the moment, by looking back…or do we just have to wait and see what happens next?


    Saturday, April 13, 2024, 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM

    Semple Mansion Carriage House, 104 West Franklin Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 55404

    In this series, members of the MPSI Community will share clinical experiences that illustrate what can be learned when we look closely at the intimate encounter between therapist and patient.

    Each presenter will have their own topic and approach. We may follow a single session in which the therapist is faced with an urgent situation and needs to decide what to do next. Or we may explore particular challenges such as an unexpected enactment, an affective storm, intense countertransference feelings, dealing with deadness or being stuck or situations where the treatment itself seems at risk of being destroyed. Each Clinical Moments presentation will include discussion and offer opportunities for attendees to share their thoughts and ideas.

    Free for Members of MPSI

    Event Limited to the First 50 Members

    RSVP by Monday, April 8, 2024

    2 CEU’s will be offered
