Current & Upcoming Events and Webinars
Webinar Presenters: Avedis Panajian, PhD ABPP and Michael Sipiora, PhD
Saturdays at 9:30 – 11:00 am; Starting on September 9th, 2023
The historical intersections and rich theoretical dialogue between psychoanalysis and phenomenology reach back to the beginnings of these approaches in the early 20th century. This course will continue that conversation with a focus on psychotherapy practice.
Event Presenters: Allison Chow and Pam VanDalfsen
Saturday at 10:00 am – 11:30 am, October 21st, 2023
The clinical material of this Saturday Dialogue will explore themes around working with adolescents via telehealth, working within family constructs, coordinating care, and the social-emotional development of a high school student through the lens of British Object Relations. The presenter will pay special attention to the intersection of the identities of the therapist and the adolescent and how this impacts the space between them.
Event Presenter: Franco Scabbiolo
Friday, October 27 | 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm
Saturday, October 28 | 10:00 am – 1:00 pm
Sunday, October 29 | 10:00 am – 1:00 pm
This three-part atelier is a special opportunity to follow Franco Scabbiolo throughout the psycho-aesthetic-analytical-creative process. Particular attention will be given to the points that Meltzer left undeveloped (e.g. aesthetic conflict and the claustrum) and to new ideas emerging from contemporary clinical experience. The evolution of the process over time will be shown according to three phases/movements and illustrated through cases presented by the teacher and the participants.
Webinar Presenter: Heinz Weiss
Saturdays at 10:00 – 11:30 am; Starting on February 17th, 2024
This series of lectures explores the issue of trauma with particular reference to issues of reparation and guilt. Referencing to the work of Freud, Klein and others it examines the emotional barriers faced by people who have experienced severe traumatization, as well as the emergence of reparative processes which pave the way from impasse to development.

Webinar Presenter: Judy Eekhoff, PhD FIPA
Saturdays at 9:30 – 11:00 am; Starting on February 4th, 2023
This seminar will review the processes of mentalization as they serve to bind anxiety and unconscious conflicts. Materials will be drawn from Dr. Eekhoff’s recent book: (2021), Bion & Primitive Mental States: Trauma & the Symbiotic Link and from her first book (2019):Trauma and Primitive Mental States: An Object Relations Perspective. London: Routledge. Discussion will include the current collective trauma evoked by the Coronavirus.
Webinar Presenter: Avner Bergstein
Saturday, February 18th, at 9:00 am – 12:00 pm
Through a close reading of some of Bion’s texts, we will elaborate Bion’s notion of the mind’s limited capacity to grasp the complexity of life and to bear the impact of the emotions stirred by the individual’s relationship with its objects.
The content of this seminar is intended to compliment the webinar series Trauma & Primitive Mental States with Judy Eekhoff, though participants may join this webinar independent of the other.
Webinar Presenter: Franco Scabbiolo
Saturdays at 9:30 – 11:00 am; Starting on February 11th, 2023
This five-part online workshop is a special opportunity to follow Scabbiolo’s work with patients throughout the psycho aesthetic-analytic process. The series will alternate group supervision between selected Scabbiolo’s patients as well as other attendees’ selected patients. As a team, Scabbiolo and attendees of the workshop will supervise the unfolding psychotherapeutic treatment revealing the evolution of the work over time.
