Psychoanalysis in ActionThe Westchester Center for the Study of Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy, WCSPP, would like to invite social action and public health organizations to participate in an open discussion about potential collaborations around issues of mental health in the community and in the participating organizations. We would also like to explore and understand the needs of community organizations so we can offer classes or workshops that address these needs. We would like to explore the ways in which our knowledge and experience as psychotherapists and psychoanalysts can support individuals who are working in the trenches of social action projects as well as the larger systems of the organizations. The “Psychoanalysis in Action” committee of WCSPP would like to discuss with other organizations how best to use its resources to support the ongoing work on the ground. We can offer discussion groups that bring a psychoanalytic understanding to questions of human interactions and human suffering. We will explore the value of empathic and containing environments in the work of these organizations. We can also offer classes or workshops on specific topics in psychoanalysis, psychotherapy, couple’s therapy, and group relations. These classes can be tailored to meet the needs of a specific organization. Examples of possible relevant topics are: Self-care, preventing burn out, understanding systemic organizational problems, containment of hostility or violence, transference in the work of human services.Please contact us: Michal Seligman, PsyD[email protected]Aviva Gitlin, PsyD[email protected]--Michal Seligman, Psy.D530 West End Ave. #GR3NY NY 10024212-595-4092[email protected]wcspp.org/ ...
