Title: Subjective Time Travel Fosters Psychodynamic Change
Presenter: Beth L. Fineberg, PhD, HSPP
Description
Subjective time travel through one’s past, present, and future is in itself a dynamic process that facilitates change. Psychopathology freezes the journey into defensively repetitive patterns. Psychodynamic therapy promotes the thaw, often by updating memories and revising narrative interpretations to meet current and future circumstances. Consequently, the potential of subjective time travel to support adaptive change is established or restored within the lived present of the therapy sessions. It helps the patient’s sense of a continuous self that persists through inner time.
Learning Objectives
1)To name the parts of the threefold present
2) To describe the elastic present
3)To describe the importance of the opportune moment.

Title: Frederick Douglass, Psychobiography, and Liberating the Psychic Space
Presenter: Danjuma Gibson, Ph.D.
Description
This presentation will expose participants to the genre of psychobiography through the life of Frederick Douglass. Participants will be introduced to the methodology used to construct the psychoanalytic profile of this formerly enslaved 19th century thinker and social activist/leader found in the book Frederick Douglas, A Psychobiography: Rethinking Subjectivity in the Western Experiment of Democracy. Finally, participants will be challenged to consider how the categories of psychobiography and psychohistory in their own context, heritage, and culture can be used as an interpretive tool to enhance psychoanalytic social praxis in a way that fosters practices of healing, hope, love, and peace in the current sociopolitical environment.
Learning Objectives
Participants will be exposed to the category of psychobiography and how it and other literary genres can expand our understanding of the human condition and enhance the healing and recovery potential of the therapeutic space.
Participants will be challenged to consider how their theoretical commitments in the field of psychoanalytic scholarship can be used to better understand social phenomena like race, class, ethnicity, culture, gender, and sexuality, and how this enhanced understanding can help to undermine the social ills and vices that affect the lives of our clients and the broader community
Participants will be given the opportunity to imagine how communal and indigenous therapeutic practices in various cultures can facilitate psychological and emotional healing within individuals and groups.
