(8:15am-9:15am) " On desire, agency, and the eternal validity of psychoanalysis "

Objectives: Upon completion of the program, the participant will be able to:
CME Criteria
1. Describe the therapeutic action of agency and desire
2. Describe ways in which we listen for desire, truth, and facilitate agency
3. Describe the transcendent dimension within psychoanalysis
(9:30am-12:30pm) " Between Psychoanalysis and Democracy: On Free Speech and Feminine Law”
Summary: This session will describe an analogy between psychoanalysis and democracy, and between the Fundamental Rule and the First Amendment. We will discern the basis for a feminine law. Naming such law enables democratic movement —beyond conditions of patriarchy.
Objectives: Upon completion of the program the participant will be able to:
1. Describe features which psychoanalysis shares with democracy
2. Describe the commonalities between the Fundamental Rule of psychoanalysis and the First Amendment of the US Constitution
3. Describe the basis for discerning feminine law and name how feminine law may enrich and guide psychoanalytic and democratic practices
(1:30-4:30 pm) " Between the Familiar and Stranger: Repudiated Love and Oedipal Enfranchisement”
Summary: This session will describe a path whereby oedipal phenomena and erotic desire facilitate the reclaiming of repudiated love of the Other, thereby enriching attachment and homeland security.
Objectives: Upon completion of the program the participant will be able to:
1. Describe how attachment theory is both a behavioral system and, implicitly, a conception of the desiring and agentic subject.
2. Describe how attachment classifications (from insecure to secure) may be conceived along a phenomenological trajectory of signifying desire in a primary relationship
3. Describe a path whereby oedipal phenomena and the exposure of erotic desire enables us to contemplate a more robust conception of attachment/ homeland security by enabling the reclaiming of repudiated love of the other.
