IFPE Statement on the Trump Administration’s Ban on Muslim Immigration
By Categories: Announcements

The President and the Board of Directors of the International Forum for Psychoanalytic Education (IFPE) are deeply troubled by the recent executive order of the President of the United States regarding travelers from seven predominantly Muslim countries. We see these restrictions as anathema to our mission and educational purposes, both within the field of psychoanalysis and within the global society at large. At IFPE we foster an ethos that values openness, inclusivity and egalitarianism.

IFPE’s annual conferences support dialogue that furthers our understanding of the human condition – in the clinical setting, in the community, in the arts and in our own lives. Our conferences welcome presenters and Continue reading IFPE Statement on the Trump Administration’s Ban on Muslim Immigration

Date: Friday, February 10, 2017

This “dialogue” addresses the Kleinian theory of primitive object relations as defined by Henri Rey, Herbert Rosenfeld and John Steiner’s ideas about Melanie Klein’s “holes in the mind.” The concepts of marsupial space, psychotic islands, and psychic retreats are “places” inside the mind and body that narcissistic, schizoid, psychosomatic and borderline patients psychically hide in order to avoid the pain of the separateness and Continue reading Claustro-Agoraphobic Dilemma and Impasses in Treatment with Susan Finkelstein and Heinz Weiis at CFS

IPTAR’s Arts and Society Committee invites you to: WOMEN ARTISTS: THEIR BODIES, THEIR SELVES, February 12, 2017, 4:00-7:00, Institute for Psychoanalytic Training and Research, 1651 Third Avenue, Suite 205

Dr. Janice Lieberman will present the works of a number of women artists who have worked to fight victimization and to use their own aggression in creative and constructive ways. Among those who have depicted violence against women or themselves are Artemisia Gentileschi, Frida Kahlo, Nan Goldin, Kiki Smith, Kara Walker and others. The tendency over the centuries to mask such violence in myth and beauty has evolved into the making of more realistic and raw depictions.

Dr. Danielle Knafo will examine the lives and works of ten pioneering female artists over the last century whose self-representational art challenged the cultural presuppositions and gender stereotypes of their time, while opening up Continue reading Women Artists: Their Bodies, Their Selves with Janice Lieberman and Danielle Knafo at IPTAR

This lecture will focus on two crucial elements of the classical analytic framework, the leased hour and daily sessions, to demonstrate how they make possible more dynamic clinical processes. These elements often come across as strange Continue reading Creating a Framework for Psychoanalysis with Brian Kloppenberg at MITPP
