This group is designed to deepen one’s engagement in Robert Grossmark’s NGPS presentation on November 7th, 2026. Not only will this group strive to prepare folks for Dr. Grossmark’s presentation, it will also introduce participants to seminal papers in contemporary psychoanalysis, particularly relational theory and practice. As some psychoanalytic papers can be dense, the group’s goal will be to promote curiosity and conversation as we work together to demystify some tricky concepts.
The first meeting will involve introductions to Winnicott and Grossmark before diving into the readings. We will then read two papers by DW Winnicott—“The Use of an Object and Relating through Identifications” and “Fear of Breakdown”— that Grossmark draws heavily from in his presentation. The fourth week of the course will discuss one of Dr. Grossmark’s influential papers: “The Unobtrusive Relational Analyst.” This course is designed for anyone who is interested. You do not have to be a participant in the conference to join the group. No prior learning on the topic is required. If you are curious about the writers, groups, NGPS, contemporary psychoanalysis, etc., please feel free to join this group.
