Center For Modern Psychoanalytic
In the heart of Greenwich Village there exists a psychoanalytic training institute renowned for its innovative development in psychoanalytic theory and practice. Since 1971 we have been training psychoanalysts and with an Absolute Charter from the State of New York granting a Certificate in Psychoanalysis as well as providing low cost treatment. Over these decades, we have seen how analytic training and psychoanalytic treatment can be enlightening and transforming as we begin to experience life more fully and uncover our own specific and individual forms of creativity. For clinicians, CMPS opens new doors in understanding the underpinnings of emotional disorders while offering a unique and comprehensive approach to psychoanalytic technique.
about “Presence”
The first in our new series of art exhibitions and screenings, this show will explore the sense of psychic presence in art. It was curated by internationally recognized artist Kenneth Feingold, who writes about the concept of the show, "The human figure, in one way or another, has been a focus of art from its beginnings; but rather than examining the figure itself, here we look to focus attention on the ways in which the artists’ representations evoke familiar aspects of the interiority of the person and are able to evoke certain affective responses in the viewer. In particular, this group of works produces feelings in me that might be described as disquiet, a form of anxiety along the boundary of absence/presence, as if a sense of the presence of something which is absent or the absence of something which is present. "
“Presence” will include more than forty works by fifteen artists in a wide variety of media, including painting, drawing, sculpture, and photography.
about the artists
ANDREA COTE writes about her work: " `Faces’ explores the fine line between sanity and madness, both literally and metaphorically. The series began in 1998, when I photographed myself during an episode of manic psychosis. I sandwiched the images together, creating portraits that reveal the conflicting emotions erupting just beneath the surface. I retain the scratches that show the physicality and wear of the images over time, much like our bodies carry the marks of our experiences. Dark mirrors of the personal and universal, these portraits reveal the human capacity for terror, fear, jealousy, confusion, and desire within every one of us. http://andreaspace.net/

CRISTINA FONTSAR lives and works in Barcelona, where she studied Fine Arts and Landscape Architecture. She writes, " From the beginning of my work the major theme has been space – space as a place for activities and games. I found that I am not interested in sculpture as an object that looks at itself, but rather, as an element in a public space that creates an aesthetic, social, and functional situation. In that situation, the viewer has an important role in the work. And so, by interacting with real public space, my interest in landscape design was born. The next extension from there was photography. By using photography as a tool to approach and analyze landscape I have realized that this medium allowed me a more emotional an intimate relationship with my work and therefore with the viewer." She exhibited widedly in Spain and has realized many projects in public spaces.

MIYUKI TSUSHIMA grew up in Tokyo, where economic advancement held the highest priority. At the age of 15, she was told to drop the idea of being an artist until she retired from a successful business career or married into wealth. Partially following this advice, she studied political science and became a journalist, then studied environmental economics at Harvard University. However, a weekend Greyhound bus trip from Boston to New York City convinced her to drop all classes in economics and to begin a second life as an artist in New York City. Born prematurely into her new life, the Aaron Siskind Foundation aided her survival. She received an MFA from School of Visual Arts in 2003. About her work, she writes, “If you are an animal you will be hunted down. I tell the ongoing tale of three imaginary creatures, a radioactive evil flying squirrel, a caveperson, and a headless bear, who must learn to survive in this city. Scumbled white backgrounds depict their lost habitat, perhaps of rocks or snow. While humorous at times, the prevailing effect is melancholy alienation. Their plight reflects that of animals today, of the earth itself, and even my situation as a foreigner, immigrant, or resident `alien’.”

The Institute of Contemporary Psychotherapy & Psychoanalysis
presents
A Series of Short Courses: An Integration of Neuroscience, Mind -Body Principles
and Self & Relational Psychotherapies
ICP&P office and other Northwest Washington locations
Selected Fridays October 14 – December 16, 2011 from 11:45 – 3:00pm
Series Description: This series consists of seven independent short courses, each lasting three hours and incorporating three different components: 1) a didactic component consisting of a review of relevant theory and research; 2) a case study; and 3) a guided experiential component. The purpose of the case study and experiential component is to enhance participants’ ability to translate the concepts they are learning in the seminars directly into their clinical practices. Throughout these seven courses, an integrated model will be employed drawing together, when appropriate, mind-body principles, contemporary dynamic theories and neuroscience. Because they enhance one another, we recommend that participants take as many courses in this series as possible. Readings will be sent to participants upon registration.
Series Instructors: Jean Gearon, PhD; Bill Harman, PhD; Kate Kelly; Faith Lewis, MSW; Karen Schachter, MSW; and Stephen R. Stein, PhD.
Maximum Enrollment: Ten
Each short course offers 3.0 CE credits - The Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy & Psychoanalysis (ICP&P) maintains responsibility for this program and its content. ICP&P is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists. ICP&P is approved by the Maryland Board of Social Work Examiners to offer Category I continuing education credit.

COURSE ONE: OVERVIEW OF THE PROGRAM AND RATIONALE FOR AN INTEGRATED MODEL:
Date: October 14, 2011
Instructors: Faith Lewis, MSW and Stephen R. Stein, PhD
Brief Summary: The evolution of psychodynamic theory, beginning with Freudian psychoanalysis, moving to object relations theory, self psychology, relational theories, and other contemporary influences will be briefly discussed. The centrality of attachment theory and inter-subjectivity in the healing process, and how these concepts relate to the theories previously discussed, and to mind-body principles and neuroscience, will be articulated. The provision of selfobject experiences and selfobject transferences will also be discussed in relation to limbic revision and neuro-plasticity.
COURSE TWO: THE CENTRAL CONCEPTS OF NEUROSCIENCE THAT RELATE TO PSYCHOTHERAPY
OCTOBER 21, 2011
Instructors: Stephen R. Stein, PhD & Jean Gearon, PhD
Brief Summary: This section will focus upon some central concepts in neural science that affect the treatment process. The importance of neural integration in therapy and psychological well-being will be discussed. The parts of the brain that play crucial roles in neural integration will be reviewed, including the neocortical and limbic systems, brain stem and left brain-right brain functioning. The didactic component will also focus on: 1) an interpersonal theory of neural development, which sculpts the brain, 2) the effects of stress in relation to neural functioning, behavior and psychological well-being, and 3) the impact of therapy upon neural integration, limbic revision and executive brain functioning to promote neural plasticity.
COURSE THREE: MIND-BODY PRINCIPLES AND TECHNIQUES
OCTOBER 28, 2011
INSTRUCTORS: Stephen R. Stein, PhD and Karen Schachter, MSW
Brief Summary: This seminar will focus upon an operational definition and discussion of mind/body strategies such as hypnosis, guided imagery, mindfulness and meditation. The principles that provide the underlying foundation for the use of mind-body practice and the structural components that serve to deepen the trance experience and to create altered and heightened states of consciousness will be identified. The application of these therapeutic strategies to the clinical encounter will be discussed as well.
COURSE FOUR: MINDFULNESS AND PSYCHOTHERAPY
NOVEMBER 4, 2011
Instructor: Bill Harman, PhD
Brief Summary: This seminar will define mindfulness, and describe how it can be helpful to the therapist, the patient and the therapeutic relationship. Additionally, this seminar will review the empirical evidence supporting the positive benefits of mindfulness and will help you to integrate its use into your psychotherapy practice.
Course Five: THE INTEGRATED MODEL AND HOW TO USE IT TO PROMOTE HEALING
NOVEMBER 18, 2011
Instructors: Faith Lewis, MSW and Stephen Stein, PhD
Brief Summary: During this didactic component, the convergence of contemporary psychodynamic theory with modern neuroscience will be highlighted. Specifically, we will explore these concepts — mirror neurons, empathy, selfobject experiences and transferences, implicit relational knowing — and how each of these represent the integration of contemporary psychotherapy with neuroscience. The ideas of mindsight, wise mind, limbic revision and resonance will be reviewed. We will also discuss how specific induction content/focus (i.e., relaxation, vitalization, health, body image) relates and influences clients’ inter-subjective experience and intra-subjective reality.
COURSE SIX: CLINICAL APPLICATIONS OF THE INTEGRATED MODEL: TRAUMA
DECEMBER 2, 2011
Instructors: Jean Gearon, PhD, and Stephen R. Stein, PhD
Brief Summary: This seminar will review and discuss the impact of psychological trauma on the brain and how different memory systems (implicit and explicit) respond to and process traumatic events. During this seminar, participants will learn how an integrated model can help facilitate recovery from traumatic events by utilizing neuro-plasticity and limbic revision to decrease the classic intrusive and arousal symptoms of PTSD, create a new healing narrative and promote greater emotional equilibrium. The importance of the intersubjective experience with the therapist in healing will be outlined as well as how guided imagery can contribute to developing and maintaining the therapeutic alliance.
COURSE SEVEN: CLINICAL APPLICATIONS OF THE INTEGRATED MODEL: MALADAPTIVE SELF-SOOTHING BEHAVIORS
DECEMBER 16, 2011
Instructors: Karen Schachter, MSW and Kate Kelly
Brief Summary: During this seminar, we will continue the discussion of how to apply the integrated model with clients (adults and children) with a variety of maladaptive coping strategies including disordered eating, negative body image and anxiety. Woven into these discussions will be examples of how to craft inductions, as well as to use other mind-body strategies, to help address these difficult issues.
