Loss, Longing, and Mourning: Psychoanalysis in Community Practice

with

Michael McAndrew, MA, LPCC (Presenter)

Breck Mundis, LSCSW (Discussant)

Here in the United States, analysts are confronted with the question of how to provide psychoanalysis to marginalized and underserved communities. Through a close examination of a pro bono clinical case involving a grief-stricken patient seeking treatment at a non-profit clinic, participants will learn to distinguish and apply both Lacanian and traditional psychoanalytic techniques where complex trauma and suicidality are involved. This program is suitable for practitioners at all levels of experience with an interest in the intersectionality of race, community practice, and trauma, as well as issues of access to clinical care and how to challenge the paradigms of what is traditionally thought possible in psychoanalysis today.

*******************************************************************************

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

After attending this session, participants should be able to:

Describe a clinical case from a both traditional Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalytic perspectives.

Assess patients with suicidality and explain reporting requirements to ensure safety in patients with such symptoms.
