Dear Colleagues,
We look forward to warmly welcoming you to the 44th annual
conference – and 2nd hybrid conference - of the International
Association of Psychoanalytic Self Psychology, to be held October 19th22nd, 2023, both in-person in Chicago and online. While we hope to see
as many of you as possible in person, our goal is for both formats toprovide a rich, clinically useful and enjoyable learning experience for all
attendees.
Self Psychology has grown and expanded tremendously since Kohut’stime. Kohut’s original ideas have evolved toward a more fully “twoperson” intersubjective/relational self psychology. We have seen theapplication of our theories to modalities other than individual
psychoanalysis and to patient populations other than those Kohut
treated. Finally, we have witnessed the expansion of self-psychology
throughout the world (IAPSP has members in 25 countries on 6
continents). Self Psychology continues to grow in exciting and creative
ways. This year’s conference theme, The Creative Edge(s) ofContemporary Self Psychology, represents our effort to highlight thisgrowth and encourage further creative expansions of our theories andpractice.
After a welcome reception (featuring Chicago-style pizza!), the main
conference will open Thursday evening with the Keynote address given
this year by Elizabeth Corpt. In her talk, titled “In Praise of Edges, with a
Nod to the Edgy,” she will share her vision of where we are as a field andwhere we need to be moving. Beginning Friday morning, theconference’s four plenary panels will address a number of different
creative edges of theory and practice. The first two (Friday morning andafternoon) will be a double plenary presenting creative elaborations ofcore self- psychological concepts, with papers on permeable boundaries,
complex selfobjects, and empathy on a continuum, all illustrated withmultiple clinical examples. In the final hour of the afternoon session
there will be a roundtable discussion among all presenters anddiscussants from both sessions. The Saturday plenary will address thecritical topic of the impact of sociocultural trauma, including racism andsystemic injustice, and its complex interactions with developmental
trauma in our patients’ lives and in the clinical encounter. Finally, thefourth plenary on Sunday morning will focus on ways thatnonpsychoanalytic treatment methods such as body-based techniques,
expressive arts, guided imagery and harm reduction methods can be
usefully integrated into psychoanalytic treatment - an important creativeedge of theory and practice that we hope everyone will stay to hear. A

priority for the plenaries this year is to make sure to leave ample time fordiscussion with the audience. Small post-panel discussion groups will alsooffer attendees the chance to share reactions to the plenary
presentations and connect more personally with fellow attendees.
In addition, this year’s three paper sessions offer an especially strong andstimulating group of 21 papers involving creative theoretical and clinicalcontributions of all kinds. We are also delighted that the Kohut Memorial
Lecture will honor Doris Brothers, a major contributor to our theories andto IAPSP over many years, who will discuss Kohut’s influence on her, herearlier work on trauma and her more recent work on embodiment. There
will also be Meet the Author opportunities, meetings of the Couples,Child and Adolescent and Social Justice special interest groups and last
but not least, a party Saturday night which will open with performancesby attendees (in our “Self Psychologists Have Talent!” show), and befollowed by music and dancing.
The main conference will be preceded by a full day of preconference
workshops, which offer the opportunity to delve more deeply into
various topics in a smaller, three-hour workshop format. Two aretargeted to those newer to Self Psychology (those by Geist and by
Hagman et al.), one uses verbatim transcripts to examine therapeutic
process and the therapist-patient dyad after the same “patient” met withtwo different therapists, while others address history and philosophy,
somatic experience, integration in couple therapy, play andimprovisation, art in psychoanalysis, and clinical writing.
To our virtual attendees: All four plenary panels will be live-streamed
and recorded, as will one paper from each of the three paper sessions.
One preconference (on clinical writing) will also be conducted entirely
by teleconference, as will one paper in the second paper session. We
regret that we are unable to record or live stream the keynote address,
but are hoping to provide written copies of the talk to virtual attendees.
We are also hoping to offer an online post panel discussion groupwithin a week or two after the conference.
We would like to thank the members of our planning committee,
especially the paper and pre-conference workshop co-chairs, for all their
help bringing this year’s conference to life. We are looking forward to agreat conference and hope to see you there – one way or another!
Warmly,Carla Leone and Steve Stern
