Presenters: Michael Donner, Ph.D. (San Francisco, CA)

Twitter is a social media platform and phone app that launched in 2006. In the past decade it has grown to be the third largest social media site, following Facebook and YouTube. Twitter currently has more than 310 million active users per month. The site allows people to engage in conversations and interact with users through short, 140 characters or less posts called “tweets.” Twitter is a powerful tool for raising interest in and promoting psychoanalysis, but many psychoanalysts have yet to embrace its power. This workshop will serve as a hands-on introduction to Twitter, covering all the basics on how to use the platform, as well as discussing how to use it to elevate interest in psychoanalysis.

Presenters: Forrest Hamer, Ph.D. (Oakland, CA)
Susan Kolodny, D.M.H. (Oakland, CA)
This symposium will be a moderated conversation between three analyst-poets and a poet “interviewer” reflecting on the relationship between psychoanalysis and poetry. Listening, embodied experience, time, language, inspiration, blocks to (and supports of) creative expression all will be considered. The three will discuss the process of making poems, their own paths to writing poetry, as well as the relationship of poetry to psychoanalysis. The two psychoanalyst-poets are Forrest Hamer, Ph.D. and Susan Kolodny, D.M.H. The interviewing poet is Carol Snow who is an esteemed poet and not a psychoanalyst.
