The San Francisco/East Bay Education Committee has put together a Fall 2004 array of seminars and workshops representing a wide range of interesting topics. Deborah Melman is teaching “Perversion and Mental Functioning,” a course which explores how sexuality can be co-opted to prevent contact. We are holding a three-hour workshop on partner abuse entitled “Domestic Violence: Assessment, Detection, and Intervention” and taught by Suzanne Pallak, which meets the Board of Psychology's new Domestic Violence requirement. Diane Ehrensaft and Meg Zwieback are teaming up to teach “‘Ordinary’ and ‘Extra-Ordinary’ Problems of Childhood: Working with Children and Families” in an effort to present a collaborative model for thinking about child treatment. “Medication and Its Meanings,” a three-hour seminar addressing psychopharmacology and some of the intrapsychic meanings of medication, will be taught by Robert Hausner. Bob Carrere will present “Winnicott's Contribution to Working with Destructive Aggression,” a class that speaks in part to how aggression gets played out in the transference/countertransference matrix.
In the Winter/Spring 2005 term, Gary Grossman will teach “Contemporary Psychoanalytic Perspectives on Lesbians and Gay Men,” a course that examines gender identity and sexual orientation in the literature and through clinical illustrations. Additionally, we are presenting “Dreaming,” a seminar taught by Charles Dithrich that will draw on the work of Bion, Meltzer, Khan, and Winnicott. More information about all of these courses can be found in our Fall 2004/Spring 2005 brochure and at .
Our committee is also planning courses for Spring 2005 on supervision and on psychoanalytic couples treatment. And, we are also working on classes on the theories of Andre Green; the philosophical and psychoanalytic significance of authenticity; mourning; geropsychology; art therapy for children; the body in psychoanalysis; HIV/AIDS; and cinematic dreams.
