In addition to focusing on case presentation, clinical discussion and community building, we will integrate intersectional psychoanalytic thinking about key issues such as, the impact of COVID-19 on individuals, families and communities, and the impact of remote therapy and technology on the therapeutic relationship. The cost is $250, including a new Community Membership. Members receive a regular newsletter and discounted or free admission to PINC events. We are pleased to offer East Bay and SF programs via Zoom until it is feasible to meet at our in-person locations.

Psychoanalysis in the News

by Molly Merson, MFT

End Notes: What Palliative Care Looks Like in a Pandemic. Psychoanalyst Jamieson Webster describes her experience offering palliative care and family connection to end-of-life patients during COVID-19.

Do therapists have a duty to confront climate change denial? This is an older article that has already been shared in the Psychoanalysis in the News Segment, but given the fires and other effects of climate disaster we on the west coast of the United States are facing, it bears repeating.

CALL FOR ENTRIES

Student and Early-Career Clinician NCSPP Annual Writing Award

The NCSPP Board invites current students, recently graduated students, and early-career clinicians with up to two years licensure to submit original papers to be considered for the NCSPP Annual Writing Award.

This award offers graduate students and new clinicians who have not published the opportunity to publish in the NCSPP journal, fort da, and present the winning paper at an NCSPP Scientific Meeting with invited discussants. Also, NCSPP will award the winning author $250.

We invite papers that contain original thinking and creatively address topics from a psychoanalytic perspective. They may be theoretical, clinical, or interdisciplinary and should make use of psychoanalytic ideas to further the author’s argument. The integration of psychoanalytic theory with clinical material should extend beyond case reporting to include theoretical or technical hypotheses. We also welcome essays that contain interdisciplinary and culturally diverse perspectives. We will judge papers on psychoanalytic content, writing ability and style, integration of theoretical concepts, and original thinking. Previous award winning papers are available on the NCSPP website.
