💫 FREUD, GANDHI, and SOUTH ASIA

🚨 Our Founder, Dr. Aisha Abbasi, is a featured Discussant in a new online CME course released by American Psychoanalytic Association ( APsA: The American Psychoanalytic Association).
*Available on APsA’s website, under Online Courses*

Format: Online, Self-paced Recording
Credit Amount: 2 credits
Available for CME/CE Until: June 30, 2027

✨ In an era that is increasingly conscious of race and diversity, analysts and therapists are seeking to identify their own biases in understanding other cultures. Freud …and Gandhi will be contrasted and explored in the context of current global and local rises in othering, multifocal fundamentalisms, “post-truth” politics and reactionary ascendancies. Erikson’s work on Gandhi in the 1960s will be re-evaluated critically as an example of Western interest in South Asia, highlighting his strengths in cross-cultural thought and his limitations as a Western thinker. A clinical case featuring themes of cross-cultural understanding and misunderstanding, including transference, will be presented.

Sometimes, learning to help others starts with feeling their pain.

When you're in the chair, countertransference is inevitable. How you respond to it, however, can make all the difference.

In this brief clip from her seminar "When Need Is Expressed as Hate," Dr. Kehinde Ayeni takes viewers through deeply personal cases in which her countertransference became the tool with which she better understood her patients.

The complete 90-minute seminar is now available for purchase.

We've got a treat coming up on September 27!

At 10:30 am, Dr. William Greenstadt will join LTP founder Dr. Aisha Abbasi for a discussion of the psychoanalytic myth surrounding heroes.

The 90-minute seminar will explore Euripides psychoanalytic consideration of the famed Greek hero before demonstrating how the inherent themes can help inform an analysts' treatment.

This seminar is worth 1.5 CE credits to attendees. We can't wait to see you there!

Minutes after hearing the word for the first time, one attendee had already found her own way to describe it, live in the July 26th seminar chat: 💭

"It was almost opera. Where you might not understand what's being said, and you're not trying too hard to understand. You're just feeling it. You're overcome with the emotions."

"I'm so happy that I'm introduced to a word for what happens with patients."

This is what the room actually sounded like that day.

In her LTP seminar, "When Need Is Expressed as Hate," Dr. Kehinde Ayeni related a harrowing experience she had with an abusive patient. Rather than shut down, Dr. Ayeni stayed with the emotions and learned to explore them and harness them to improve her clinical approach.

Half an hour earlier, Dr. Aisha Abbasi had asked Dr. Dhwani Shah to slow down. He said he'd go "slow, but fast." 💭

She came back to it near the end of the July 26th seminar:

"That was a perfect description of what you're talking about. If two people are open to it, that play occurs — not just in treatment. I thought it occurred right here."

Two analysts catching, live and in real time, the exact thing the seminar was about — happening between them, on camera, unscripted.

Dr. Aisha Abbasi once described herself, working with a patient who was getting under her skin, as stirred but not shaken. 💭

Ninety minutes into the July 26th seminar, a participant offered a live amendment:

"I want to tweak it a little and say — stirred, shaken, but not destroyed."

Dr. Shah's reaction, immediate and unscripted: "Yeah. I love that. I love that."

This is what it sounds like when a room actually builds an idea together, in real time.

Dr. Dhwani Shah opened the July 26th Countertransference Masochism seminar by handing the credit to the person who invited him. 💭

"A lot of these ideas I'm going to be presenting actually came from some of her work, that I encountered so many years ago."

The line that did it, from one of Dr. Aisha Abbasi's own papers on a patient she was struggling with: she was stirred but not shaken.

"And I thought to myself — wow. That's a fascinating way of saying it."

That phrase becomes the emotional spine of everything that follows.

An undergraduate sat in on the July 26th Countertransference Masochism seminar, alongside a room full of practicing analysts — and this is what she took away: 💭

"Either you're tortured or you're torturing. And there's no third thing, where you're just reflecting on it. That really changed my perspective, because I never had the words for that."

Dr. Aisha Abbasi's reply, live in the room: "You are really a living example that proves to us that if analytic concepts are talked about in the way they should be, undergrad students get it."

You don't need to be certified to follow this one.
