"Risk and the Body Politic: Pandemic Encounters with the Social Unconscious" Presented by Jeanette Farrell, MD

The COVID pandemic has infused the clinical encounter with the risk of transmission. Negotiating this risk with my patients has revealed how we use group identities to manage our sense of vulnerability. Each group’s risk strategies are interwoven with other values that are core constructs of identity. How do we navigate these interrelated, overdetermined constructs in the treatment room?

"All the Air We Breathe: Working with Risk and Connection"

Discussant: Katherine Weissbourd, PhD

As analysts we often address the boundary of safety, looking at where risk is acceptable and necessary, and where it is self-destructive or damaging to others. How do pandemic conditions alter our vulnerability?
