The Intensive Study Groups, co-sponsored by NCSPP and The Psychoanalytic Institute of Northern California (PINC), provide an opportunity for in-depth focus on a particular topic over the course of 32 weeks. The groups are limited to 15 students and are designed for mid- to advanced-level clinicians. Participants are eligible for 12 consultation sessions with a PINC analyst at a significantly reduced fee in order to help integrate the course material into their clinical work.
This year's Intensive Study Groups focused on the therapist's humanity, and were an examination of the impact of the therapist's experience on the clinical field. East Bay instructors were Rachel Peltz, Ray Poggi, Robin Deutsch, Jane Burka, and Charles Dithrich. In San Francisco the instructors were Julie Leavitt, Dawn Farber, Drew Tillotson, and Karen Peoples. The four sections focused on the therapist's body, the therapist's relationships, the socio-political world that therapist and patient share, and experiences of the uncanny in the therapeutic relationship.
The ISG Committee continues to be a vital, active group. Ellen Klutznick took over as chair, relinquishing the co-chair position she had held with Anne Dinkelspiel. This lively committee enthusiastically collaborates to create exciting topics for study and selects knowledgeable, stimulating faculty to teach. The members are Anne Dinkelspiel, Eric Essman, Sharon Bass, Betsy Kassoff, Genie Dvorak, Rachel Licitra, Diane Goldsmith, and Brenda Bloomfield.
