CE

Focusing on Atlas’ new book Emotional Inheritance, this CE presentation will discuss the ways in which trauma is transmitted from one generation to the next and held in our minds and bodies as our own. Atlas will examine emotional material that we unknowingly carry with us: the memories, feelings, and traumas that we inherit from previous generations and the link between our parents and grandparents’ history, and our own emotional struggles.

Dr. Tummala-Narra, a Research Professor and Director of Community-Based Education at Boston University, will speak on the topic of engaging with racism and xenophobia in psychoanalytic psychotherapy and supervision.

Martha Stark, MD, returns to Wright Institute Los Angeles for a psychology/psychotherapy Continuing Education/Continuing Professional Development webinar. In her typical stunningly clear and clinically precise fashion, Dr. Stark will address the therapeutic process of "working through" in the psychotherapeutic setting.

This presentation takes up the challenge of the pressured external world to therapeutic dyad in the consulting room, including the question of the value of therapy at all at a time of various social threats:  climate, racism, war, politics.
