During these difficult times, faculty and students at PANY worked hard to maintain training, education, and community. PANY continued its educational and admissions activities during the Coronavirus pandemic - including classes and case supervision for our students as well as video interviews for applicants to our training programs - via Zoom and other video and audio platforms.
For the upcoming academic year 2023-2024, PANY will offer some hybrid learning opportunities. These will be determined per program, and will evolve during the admissions season, as we determine our class, community, and faculty needs. The final learning format will be communicated to those enrolled as admissions is finalzed.
As psychoanalysts, we believe in the importance of our work, in some ways especially so during these stressful times; and as hardy New Yorkers, we are committed to maintaining our presence as educators, psychoanalysts, and psychotherapists for the New York City community.

On Day-Dreaming
The particular characteristics of day-dreaming will be explored, highlighting the way in which day-dreaming induces imaginative states of perception – states that allow new ways of being and experiencing the world.
Presenters: Peter Goldberg, PhD, FIPA
CME/ Social Work & Psychology CE Credits Available
Peter Goldberg, PhD, FIPA is a personal and supervising psychoanalyst at the Psychoanalytic Institute of Northern California, is Chair of Faculty at the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis, and on the faculty of the Wright Institute in Berkeley, California. Prior publications related to psyche-soma phenomena include "Successful dissociation, pseudo-vitality and inauthentic use of the senses" (1995), "Fabricated bodies: A model for the somatic false self" (2004), and "Active perception and the search for sensory symbiosis" (2012). His latest publication is a book, co- authored with Adam Blum abd Michael Levin, just publishedby ColumbiaUniversityPress, entitled "Here I am Alive: The Spirit of Music in Psychoanalysis ".
While dream-work functions have taken on ever-more significance in contemporary clinical models, the phenomenon of day-dreaming has seldom received attention in psychoanalysis. The particular characteristics of day-dreaming will be explored, highlighting the way in which day-dreaming induces imaginative states of perception – states that allow new ways of being and experiencing the world. The clinical process can thus be described in terms of something like day-dream-work, which depends on the workings of the analytic frame and on the analyst’s particular ways of participating with the patient in shared perceptual states.

Psychic Bisexuality
This talk will attempt to throw some light on the contemporary use of the concept of bisexuality in one analyst’s clinical work.
Rajiv Gulati, MD is a Training and Supervising Psychoanalyst at the Psychoanalytic Association of New York. A native of New Delhi, he has a strong interest in the ways in which culture inflects the experience of selfhood, cropping up as well in the normative discourses that seek to police gender identity and sexual orientation. He co-edited the book, “EROTICISM: Developmental, Cultural, and Clinical Realm,” with Dr. Salman Akhtar. Dr. Gulati maintains a private analytic practice in Brooklyn.
Freud came up with the idea of “psychic bisexuality” in the context of his intensely erotic relationship with Wilhelm Fliess. Despite its central place in Freud’s theory and its usefulness, bisexuality occupies a controversial place in psychoanalysis. It has been a beacon for sexual and gender minorities and yet within psychoanalysis it has been put to heteronormative and transphobic use. This talk will attempt to throw some light on the contemporary use of the concept of bisexuality in one analyst’s clinical work.
1. Participants will understand Freud’s biological view of bisexuality as contrasted with his intrapsychic perspective.
2. Participants will understand Corbett’s use of “the anxiety of regulation” in response to erotic desires and gender expressions that fall outside of the hetero-cisgender binary.
3. Participants will understand the implicit heteronormativity/cisgenderism in many binary psychoanalytic constructions of gender – i.e., “orthodox” Freudian, Kleinian, Lacanian

In 2016, she was named Helen Meyers Traveling Psychoanalytic Scholar. A paper she developed as Helen Meyers Scholar, titled “Love, hate, and the maternal body,” won the Michigan Psychoanalytic Institute’s Holtzman Applied Psychoanalysis Essay Prize (2020).
Marianne Goldberger highly valued motherhood, psychoanalysis and both writing and teaching candidates, so we are especially happy that Dr. Stuart, whose work encompasses all of these topics, will give the lecture in memory of Dr. Goldberger this year.

Meditation, Psychotherapy, and Spiritual Bypassing
In recent years, mindfulness has become a popular and useful therapeutic tool. Distinctions between secular mindfulness and meditation as a part of a spiritual practice have become blurred, leading to inappropriate use of meditation as a substitute for necessary psychological growth. This “spiritual bypassing”, as it has been termed, can be challenging to recognize and work with in therapy.

Meditation, Psychotherapy, and Spiritual Bypassing: In recent years, mindfulness has become a popular and useful therapeutic tool. Distinctions between secular mindfulness and meditation as a part of a spiritual practice have become blurred, leading to inappropriate use of meditation as a substitute for necessary psychological growth. This “spiritual bypassing”, as it has been termed, can be challenging recognize and work with in therapy. A young adult with a history of early deprivation presented for therapy after disappointing personal and academic setbacks. Through treatment, it was discovered this patient used spiritual bypassing to defend against social contact and achievement of appropriate young adult life goals. Join us for a discussion of how spiritual bypassing, a defensive use of spiritual pursuit/identity to avoid psychological difficulties or growth, manifests in this case, various other ways it can present, and how it can be approached and worked with in treatment.
