This paper reimagines psychoanalytic writing as an ontological practice centered on being and becoming, rather than interpretation and knowledge. Through clinical encounters, the author illustrates how therapeutic transformation emerges when analyst and patient enter shared states of experience and embrace nonsovereignty- a mutual openness to influence, misrecognition, and the unsymbolized. The paper critiques traditional case writing for reinforcing analytic authority, erasing patient subjectivity and privileging coherent narrative over affective complexity. It argues instead for experimental, self-implicating forms of writing that foreground the analyst’s involvement, acknowledge their performative nature, and create space for what resists representation. Such ontological writing challenges conventional distinctions between subject and object, analyst and patient, and positions storytelling itself as a constitutive act, capable of transforming clinical understanding and psychoanalytic knowledge.

Politics has long been a contested domain in psychoanalysis. Where Freud turned his gaze to the political in his writings about mass psychology and the mythical origins of humanity, most psychoanalytic traditions that have followed treat the political as something “external” to the person who comes in for analysis, “outside” of the consulting room, “foreign” to intrapsychic process. This roundtable will reflect on how the political has always punctured the analytic situation, whether it has been acknowledged or not. It will also explore the ways this puncturing materializes today, in the consulting room, in and through psychoanalytic institutes, and beyond our field in the public realm where interest in psychoanalytic thought seems to grow.

Join us for this conference featuring speakers Daniel Gaztambide, PsyD; Chanda D. Griffin, LCSW; Eyal Rozmarin, PhD; Betty P. Teng, LCSW; and Jamieson Webster, PhD, as well as co-moderators Paige Sweet, PhD, LP, and Alyson K. Spurgas, PhD.

How do we think about s*xuality today? After decades of being neglected relative to other “non-s*xual” priorities – such as attachment theory, trauma, infant research – s*xuality has made a comeback in psychoanalysis. Not only are our patients identifying with new s*xual variations – demis*xual, polyamorous, pans*xual, multis*xual – but our traditional ideas of the normative dyad have been challenged by a proliferation of alternate relational configurations – throuples, open relationships, swinging, poly, etc. As the clinical landscape widens and theory rushes to catch up, we’re left with the question: how do we understand s*xuality now? Are we talking about it too much? Or not enough? Talking about it in the right way? What even is the “right” way? If drive theory is outdated and relational theory is too relational, what’s left for us to use? In this presentation, I will draw on Jean Laplanche to argue that we need a new paradigm for s*xuality that puts radical otherness at its center. To do this, I’ll talk about erotophobia – the denial of “enlarged s*xuality” – to show that the preoccupation with destructive s*x as inherently revolutionary misses the role of relationality in pushing us toward radical, transformative s*xual experiences. I’ll suggest that a new vision for s*xuality requires the practice and theorization of q***r relationality – an object relation that revolves neither around attachment nor recognition but the self-expansiveness and self-transformation that only enlarged s*xuality makes possible.
