ORI is Announcing Memorial Scholarships for Mental Health Professionals
Starting 2013-2014 academic year, ORI will be offering partial and full-time scholarships, to commemorate late Dr. Joyce McDougal and Dr. Jeffrey Seinfeld and to continue their legacy of deep object relations psychoanalytic thinking and education. These scholarships will allow young mental health practitioners in need to continue their education in psychoanalysis, psychotherapy, and object relations clinical theory and technique.
If you would like to contribute to this scholarship fund, your contribution will be tax-deductible. You will be then involved in the selection process and will receive reports on the candidate's progress.
For more information and to apply or/and to propose a candidate for the memorial scholarship consideration, please contact Dr. Inna Rozentsvit, ORI's administrator and Community Outreach Coordinator at 646-522-1056 or via email at Admin@ORINYC.org.
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
On this last day of the old year and only a few hours away from the New Year, please accept our best and sincere wishes for health, happiness, peace, and joy for you and your loved ones all around the globe. On this day, the spirit of hope, freedom, dedication, redemption, purification, and of course, miracles unite all of us, despite any differences in our religious, political, or social allegiances.
On this last day of 2012, ORI Board, Faculty and Students are proud to report that we will be celebrating our 22nd anniversary and third decade of psychoanalytic training and educating mental health practitioners and the general public.
In 2011, ORI had initiated a non-profit Cause on Facebook, “Support Mental Health Education,” with over 300 members and growing. Each member is spreading the word about the Cause and bringing awareness of the need to support of young mental health professionals who chose this underfunded field in dedication to the bigger social goals.
On YouTube, ORI promotes psychoanalytic and object relations literacy, through its free educational mini-video-series, “Object Relations View.” In our first ten videos, such important topics as “bad objects” and “loyalty to bad objects,” self-sabotage, “time as an object,” projective identification,” "psychic regret," etc., are revealed through accessible language and clinical examples.
ORI is also proud to report that we had established our own publishing company, ORI Press, with the motto: “Furthering, Uniting, and Popularizing Psychoanalytic and Scientific Thought.” Our first two books (“The Compulsion to Create” and “The Creative Mystique,” by Susan Kavaler-Adler, PhD, ABPP, D.Litt.) are ready to see the bookshelves in February 2013. Our next few titles are: * About Dreams (children’s book by Suzanne Saldarini, M.A., LPC); * A Consilience of Natural and Social Sciences: A Memoir of Original Contributions (by Henry Kellerman, PhD); * Anatomy of Rape (by Jeffrey Lewis, PhD); * Dialectics of Mortality and Immortality: Time as an Object (Edited, Collective work);* Neurobiology for Psychotherapists and Psychoanalysts: A Guide to Mind through the Brain Matter (by Inna Rozentsvit, M.D., PhD).
ORI Press is announcing now a call for psychoanalytic publications, including a call for papers related to work of Dr. Jeffrey Seinfeld, who was a presenter and discussant at all of our annual conferences and at all “Seinfeld’s workshops.” Paper selection will be finished by March 30th, 2013, and selected paper(s) will be presented at the Annual Memorial lecture/workshop dedicated to Dr. Jeffrey Seinfeld (in May-June 2013, exact date TBA).
On this last day of the year, we are also reflecting on our losses. We are remembering today two of our greatest supporters and scientific faculty members – Dr. Joyce McDougal and Dr. Jeffrey Seinfeld. Although they can no longer indulge us with lively and life-transforming presentations and discussions, their presence in life of the ORI Community will continue – through our work, incorporating the vast knowledge we’ve acquired from these two deep object relations thinkers, teachers, and great souls. Two weeks ago, ORI's Board of Directors proposed an initiative which would help us to commemorate Dr. McDougal and Dr. Seinfeld and to establish scholarships in their name. This will allow a few young mental health practitioners in need to continue their education in psychoanalysis, psychotherapy, and object relations clinical theory and technique. If any of you would like to contribute to this scholarship fund, you will be able to interview and select its recipients, as well as be able to receive a report on this person's progress and achievements. Your contribution will be tax-deductible! You also can establish your own scholarship to commemorate someone dear to your heart or a cause that you are passionate about. If you are not able to support the whole year of training, but willing to support someone who would like to take a certificate course or attend a conference - your tax-deductible donation will be acknowledged and appreciated.

Dear Visitors of the ORI's Web Site,
Please join our faculty and our trainees for another year of educational success!
In 2012-2013 academic year, ORI offers traditional (in-person), virtual (via Internet & phone) and integrated courses and programs:
Multiple Certificate Programs in Object Relations Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis:
One Year Certificate Program: An Introduction to Object Relations Theory & Clinical Application
Two-Year Certificate Program: Advanced Object Relations Clinical Theory & Technique (New since 2010-2011 academic year)
One Year Clinical Mentorship/ Supervision Program for Psychoanalysts and Psychotherapists
Four Year Certificate Program in Psychotherapy & Psychoanalysis
The Object Relations
Institute offers
certificate programs in psychoanalytic
psychotherapy and psychoanalysis with a
special curriculum
featuring the teaching of the British and American Object Relations
theorists and their clinical applications.
The curriculum stresses pre-oedipal stage psychopathology contributing to character
disorders, and modifications and
elaborations in Freudian theory and
technique made by object relations theorists. Object relations
theorists have
contributed to deepening our understanding of
psychical structures and offer us techniques for dealing with
clients
who were thought to be unreachable.
This unique
curriculum conducted in small group and class settings provides the
candidate with the whole experiential
dimension of learning related
to the processing of "objective countertransference" feelings,
associations, and visceral
experiences. These issues are seen as the
key to understanding the split off and dissociated aspects of the
psychotherapy or psychoanalytic patient, as the clinician sits in
the room with him or her. This experiential study
takes place in
supervision groups, which highlight the group process as a medium for
the learning personal development
process. In-depth communication
between candidates in each class is encouraged in relation to their
internal processing
of their clinical work.
All our traditional certificate programs are offered as the 10-week trimesters, which include two classes per trimester: the Group Supervision classes (Thursdays, 6:15pm-7:30pm) and the Clinical Theory classes (Thursdays, 8:15pm - 9:30pm). There are also Wednesday morning Clinical Theory classes (10am-11:15am) offered to the 3rd and 4th year trainees of the traditional full psychoanalytic training program and to all interested clinicians.

2012- 2013 Academic Calendar:

‘There is no such thing as a baby...’ (D.W. Winnicott, 1975, Through Paediatrics to Psychoanalysis, p. 89. London: Hogarth.).
“What does the baby see when he or she looks at the mother's face? I am suggesting that, ordinarily, what the baby sees is himself or herself. In other words the mother is looking at the baby and what she looks like is related to what she sees there. All this is too easily taken for granted. I am asking that this which is naturally done well by mothers who are caring for their babies shall not be taken for granted. I can make my point by going straight over to the case of the baby whose mother reflects her own mood or, worse still, the rigidity of her own defences. In such a case what does the baby see?” (D.W. Winnicott, 1971, Playing and Reality, p.112. London: Tavistock).
“MY SQUIGGLE. HIS MODIFICATION. HIS COMMENT—A SEA-LION WITH A BABY.
It was astonishing to witness the way in which he immediately saw in it a mother and baby sea-lion. Subsequent events proved that it was justifiable to understand from this drawing that the boy had a powerful maternal identification; also that the mother-baby relationship was of especial importance to him. Moreover this picture has beauty, not indeed on account of the squiggle, but on account of his use of it.” (D.W. Winnicott, 1975, Through Paediatrics to Psychoanalysis, p. 108. London: Hogarth.).
