During each meeting we will discuss readings and dreams from ongoing clinical cases. We will explore the meanings of dreams from different theoretical perspectives, and in relation to the patient’s psychological history, life circumstances, and clinical dynamics.

Race, Identity & Racialized Enactments in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy
5-week: February 3, 10, 17, March 3 & 10, 2009. Tuesdays, 7:00-8:30pm
Fee: $20 for students, $40 for new professionals (3 years or less since graduation) & $75 for full professionals.
Racism, like sexism, both purveyor and consequence of the most egregious hatred and relational failure, remains ubiquitous in American society. Racism and its related horrific, intergenerational costs are increasingly a focus of psychoanalytic research and discussion. Until recently in psychoanalytic practice, arguably among the most visible of human characteristics, race has been virtually unseen and “race talk” taboo—thus constituting a sort of “dangertalk” in the very place where all else about persons can be shared and explored. Contemporary psychoanalytic frames—with their emphases on ‘the relational matrix’ and enactments, interacting/influencing subjectivities, and co-construction of identity and meaning--offer important opportunities for exploring and enacting aspects of the unstable, wounded, racialized identities of both participants. In this seminar, we will examine ways in which racial identities (particularly whiteness) are constructed, lived, and enacted in psychoanalytic practice by both patient and analyst.
