Recorded Continuing Education Events & Webinars:


The incidence of suicide, violent acts, and mass shootings has increased significantly in the United States in recent years, reaching epidemic proportions. Working with suicidal or potentially violent clients in clinical practice is emotionally challenging and fraught with risk for both beginning and seasoned clinicians. This workshop will address clinical, ethical, legal, and risk management considerations when working with both children and adults presenting with risk of harm to self and/or others. Psychoanalytic approaches to suicide/violence will be presented. Additionally, key ethical considerations, managing emotional reactions, as well as best practice guidelines for reducing risk and promoting safety will be reviewed with respect to assessment, intervention and prevention strategies. Case vignettes will be integrated into the presentation to illustrate key strategies for working with this population.

In order to work effectively with persecutory states, it is important to clearly distinguish persecutory guilt and shame from reparative guilt. It is essential to understand how the states of persecution may manifest in many forms, and not yet be consciously recognized as what they are. Given that such patients may already experience the therapist as a persecutor, special techniques are essential to attempt to circumvent this resistance.

In the wake of the recent pandemic, therapists struggle to help patients with painful losses and challenges. Situational stresses interact with personality patterns, presenting therapists with complicated combinations of grief, mourning, and depressive and masochistic dynamics. Because neither “Depressive Personality Disorder” nor “Self-Defeating Personality Disorder” is found in the DSM or ICD, official taxonomies offer little clinical help in distinguishing between various painful self-states and framing therapy accordingly. Dr. McWilliams will differentiate conceptually between depression and mourning, between anaclitic and introjective depression, between relational self-sabotage and “moral masochism,” and between depressive and self-defeating personality patterns. She will use her own case material illustratively and present one self-defeating patient in depth.

This is Part 3 of a 3-Part Lecture Series on ASD & Psychoanalysis hosted by the Chicago Association for Psychoanalytic Psychology (CAPP) and Chicago Center for Psychoanalysis (CCP). Abnormalities in language and speech development are a defining feature of autism. Several psychoanalytic scholars have hypothesized that these abnormalities make autistic language to be rigid, cumbersome, and poor in its capacity to encode complex concepts. In this talk, we will investigate the supplementary methods that autistic subjects adopt to compensate for these conceptual setbacks, methods that enable them to encode complex concepts into their vocabulary using images. A variety of case studies will be presented to illustrate the avenues autistic subjects can adopt in a therapeutic setting to gain access to a level of conceptual complexity that also brings dramatic changes to their lives.

This presentation will chronicle and illustrate how illusion and its dismantling have been central from the very beginning of my efforts to grasp the phenomenology of emotional trauma. Just as human beings create metaphysical illusions that evade the devastating impact of human finitude, the dismantling of such illusion plays a central role in the genesis of traumatized states. The implications of this understanding for one’s therapeutic comportment will also be explored and illustrated.

This is Part 2 of a 3-Part Lecture Series on ASD & Psychoanalysis

Leon Brenner's The Autistic Subject: On the Threshold of Language (2020) makes a compelling case for the relevance of psychoanalysis in the understanding and treatment of autism. Counter to both the cognitive and identitarian approaches to autism, Brenner rigorously theorizes autism as a unique subjective structure and mode of access to language that sits alongside the classical Freudian structures of psychosis, neurosis, and perversion. In this talk we will engage with Brenner’s latest work in the field of autism research. Particularly, we will explore about Brenner’s description of autism as a mode-of-being, posed as an alternative to its determination as a developmental disorder. This will be an introductory lecture, providing the basis for further discussions on the autistic mode of access to language and its clinical implications.

This presentation takes as a point of departure Toni Morrison's The Origins of Others (2017), a thought-provoking collection of lectures on race, fear, borders, mass movement of peoples, and desire for belonging, to reflect on my experience as a psychoanalyst working with populations marginalized by class, race, gender or sexuality. My intention is to move in the direction of intersectionality, stressing the importance of multiple subjective constructions such as race, gender, class, and sexual identity that crisscross and overlap in the "talking cure".

Sherry Turkle, in her groundbreaking book (2011) explores the question of “why we expect more from technology and less from each other.” This question has particular resonance in 2022 as we are approaching a third year living within the pandemic. Technology has transformed mental health practices, particularly since the start of the pandemic, offering new means and modalities of communicating with patients. However, questions have arisen regarding the complicated virtual nature of our professional relationships as well as ethical responsibilities.

This workshop will provide an overview of clinical, ethical and legal dilemmas associated with the use of technology in clinical practice. Topics such as establishing clear boundaries, maintenance of the virtual frame, privacy and confidentiality considerations, cross-state practice, hybrid/office covid protocols, management of clinical emergencies, and payment/reimbursement considerations will be addressed. Guidelines for best practices and risk management strategies will be provided.

About the Panelists:

Daniel Atkins, Psy.D. serves as an intuitive guide for individuals of all ages to understand the lineages and layers of emotional trauma they carry, rewire the brain’s neural patterns, and move through pain in all forms in order to live the lives they were meant to live. Daniel graduated from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology as a PsyD, and pursued internship and postdoctoral training in the area of psychodynamic and attachment focused theories. He received his license in the Summer of 2021, but was guided to pursue a different path that aligned with his own healing experiences. Alongside his clinical experience, Daniel navigated a 10+ year journey with a misunderstood medical diagnosis. His personal journey led him to seek beyond the traditional bounds of western medicine in order to heal himself and develop the tools to guide others. As a result, Daniel developed an integrative practice that incorporates the foundations of his clinical training, his experience in the field of mind body medicine, and his intuitive guidance in energy medicine to meet the holistic needs of sufferers.

Derrick Hassert, Ph.D., is a Professor of Psychology at Trinity College in Palos Heights, Illinois and a Clinical Fellow of the International Neuropsychoanalysis Society.

Following internship, Alec applied for an informal post-doctoral fellowship at a private group practice located in Minnetonka, MN, a western suburb of Minneapolis, and completed his post-doctoral fellowship in September 2021.

He works primarily with adolescents and adults. Alec most enjoys helping people work through issues related to trauma, grief and loss, life transitions, and other existential concerns, including the fear of death and meaninglessness.

 As Lewin (1955) pointed out, instead of building its metapsychology on the basis of neurotic conflict, psychoanalysis might have centered on the psychology of dreaming and unconscious phantasy. We invite "dreamers" to lie down in a quiet, dimly lit room and engage in a dreamy dialogue in order to help them wake up. This thesis will be supported both theoretically and clinically.
