NYPSI’s Biennial Child and Adolescent Psychoanalysis Lecture Series 2025 – 2026 edition

Tuesday, May 12th, 2026

8:00 – 10:00 PM (EST)

Presenters: Kirsten Dahl, PhD

Dr. Kirsten Dahl’s paper addresses the impediments to developing an appreciation of the limitations imposed by external reality. The acquisition of a sense of reality rests on the formation of the mind in the infant-maternal matrix. External trauma and misattunement within the relationship have a significant impact on the acquisition of a sense of reality. Clinical material from the analysis of a 4 ½ year old boy is used to illustrate the developmental progression towards a recognition of reality. This presentation intends to help clinicians recognize the instability of an appreciation of reality.

2 Contact Hours. 2 CME/CE credits will be offered. See details below.

BIOGRAPHIES

Professor, the Lord John Alderdice FRCPsych trained in medicine, psychiatry and psychoanalysis, undertaking teaching, research, and clinical work at Queen’s University Belfast, and in the NHS Centre for Psychotherapy that he established in Belfast. Increasingly he also worked to address the long-standing political violence in Northern Ireland and beyond. From 1987 to 1998, Lord Alderdice was the Leader of Northern Ireland’s Alliance Party and one of the negotiators of the 1998 Belfast/Good Friday Agreement that ended the centuries-long violent political conflict in Ireland. He then became the first Speaker of the new Northern Ireland Assembly, serving until 2004 when he was appointed one of the four members of the Independent Monitoring Commission, charged by the British and Irish Governments with overseeing security normalization in Ireland. The IMC completed its work in 2011. In 2015 – after the ‘Fresh Start Agreement’ – he was appointed by the First and Deputy First Ministers of Northern Ireland to a three-person panel charged with reporting on a strategy for disbanding paramilitary groups in Northern Ireland. This report was completed and published in June 2016.

Since 1996 Lord Alderdice has been an active Liberal Democrat member of the House of Lords, the upper chamber of the British Parliament and was Convenor/Chair of the Liberal Democrats in the House of Lords from 2010 to 2014 during the Conservative/Liberal Coalition. In 2020-2021 he was a Deputy to the Lord Speaker, and a member of the COVID-19 Select Committee of the House. He is currently a member of the House of Lords Select Committee on International Relations and Defence and, since January 2025, the UK Trade Envoy to Azerbaijan and Central Asia (Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, and Tajikistan). In 2015, Lord Alderdice was awarded the Liberal International Prize for Freedom – the only former President of LI to have received this prestigious award – and, in the same year, he was elected a Presidente d’Honneur of Liberal International. He remains an active member of the governing Bureau of LI. In 2025 he was elected President of the National Liberal Club in London – the home of Liberal International. Having retired from clinical psychiatry some years ago he has continued to work on conflict issues especially through academic positions at the University of Oxford where he is a Senior Research Fellow at Harris Manchester College and an Honorary Fellow at Pembroke College. He is also a Visiting Fellow at Jesus College, University of Cambridge, and a Professor of Practice both at the Senator George J Mitchell Institute for Peace, Security and Justice at Queen’s University, Belfast and at the Global Humanity for Peace Institute of the University of Wales Trinity St David. He has been recognized with many international prizes, honorary doctorates, and fellowships for his academic and practical contributions including the 2022 Lifetime Achievement Award from the Royal College of Psychiatrists and, in 2024, Honorary Fellowship of the British Psychoanalytical Society.

Scientific Meeting: Implications of AI and Super-Intelligence for Psychoanalysis

NYPSI’s 1083rd Scientific Meeting:

“Implications of AI and Super-Intelligence for Psychoanalysis”

Tuesday, March 10, 2026

8:00 – 10:00 PM (EST)

Presenter: Andrew Rosendahl, M.D., Ph.D.

Discussant: Andrew Gerber, M.D., Ph.D.

This presentation is designed for psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic candidates seeking to understand the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence and its implications for clinical practice and psychoanalysis. Drawing on both technical knowledge and psychoanalytic theory, the presenter—a member psychoanalyst with a science and technology background—will examine how AI is already appearing in our consulting rooms, how it may function as a new object of transference and resistance, and what it means for the future of our field. Through didactic presentation, vignettes, and guided discussion, participants will be invited to approach AI as psychoanalysts—with curiosity, openness, and the capacity to sit with something that doesn’t yet fit our existing categories.

2 Contact Hours. 2 CME/CE credits will be offered. See details below.

General Admission: $50

Student Admission: $35

CONTINUING EDUCATION

Educational Objectives: Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

  1. Analyze and apply psychoanalytic thinking to the emergence of artificial intelligence and AI-based bots—considering how they may participate in the compromise formation of clinical material and function as objects of transference, resistance, competition, and as potential sources of genuine therapeutic assistance—and use this understanding to formulate analytic responses in treatment.
  2. Discuss the multiple layers and scales of AI’s implications for psychoanalytic practice, including its potential impact on insurance reimbursement, accessibility of mental health care, and the evolving role of human therapists as AI-based interventions become increasingly prevalent.
