Abigail Bliss, PsyD; Daniel Knauss, PsyD, ABPP; and Jane Tillman, PhD, ABPP, present at the 2026 American Psychoanalytic Association (APsA) National Meeting in San Francisco, CA, from January 27-February 1.

This presentation uses a decolonial lens to integrate intrapsychic, interpersonal, and sociocultural frameworks in psychoanalytic case formulation. It helps clinicians remain socioculturally responsive while distinguishing trauma that requires accompaniment from defensive processes that require confrontation.

This roundtable explores the psychic and cultural significance of sacred places, particularly those marked by religious conflict, desecration, and dispossession.

This talk will review the concept of psychic pain within the broader landscape of suicidology, psychoanalysis, and clinical science and highlight emerging findings that illuminate its structure, correlates, and role in the unfolding of suicidal crises.

Dr. Grus describes some of the more common types of technology-based tools available to mental health providers and how they are developed with a focus on how to ethically incorporate their use in clinical practice.

Avgi Saketopoulou, PsyD, talks about clinicians working with overwhelm as both a challenge and an art form: it requires therapists, to make themselves permeable to patients in ways that make therapists exquisitely vulnerable.

Ed Shapiro, MD, joins filmmaker Michele Beck for a virtual screening her film Learning to Speak.

Dionne R. Powell, MD, expands on how we become raced by exploring the transgenerational transmission of racial trauma, and its intra-psychic, structuralizing components.

Dr. Moore considers the framework of fear and racialization as conceived in the historic work of Frantz Fanon through the work of Afro Futurists who offer language and framing for holding sites of possibility in the Black imaginary in the midst of oppressive conditions of the present.
