This presentation will attempt to address these questions and more. A brief history of psychoanalytic treatment of homosexuality will be reviewed. Modern approaches and their affects will also be covered. The life of Gay and Lesbian Orthodox Jews will be discussed. How the analyst can “borrow” approaches of other schools of psychology in engaging the Gay Lesbian Orthodox Jew.

What If I Get Better: Creativity and Psychotherapy
Friday, December 2, 2011, 7:30 p.m. Presenter: John McCaffrey, MA There is a commonly held belief in our society that artistic people are somewhat “crazy” (or at least eccentric) – and that it sort of “goes with the territory.” Vincent van Gogh and
Sylvia Plath, for instance, stand out as deeply talented but troubled individuals. Yet many studies exploring the link between creativity and mental instability reveal just the opposite: that people who engage in artistic pursuits are happier, more resilient, more engaged, and more persistent in the face of difficulty and frustration than those who do not. Still, popular culture continues to teach that artists are tormented, brooding and angry. Another misconception is the effect psychotherapy will have on artists – that is, the expressed fear of many creative people that treatment will “rob” them of their artistic abilities in the process of “curing” them. While it is true that many artists use creativity to give meaning and expression to their emotional issues, artistic processes, in essence, are about creative play and idiosyncratic vision—not pain or psychosis. In fact, psychic pain and madness can interfere with a person’s ability to be creative. Psychotherapy, rather than the enemy of artistic process, can be a useful means of unblocking and enhancing creativity. Published author John McCaffrey discusses this issue in the context of his own writing and his experience as a patient in psychotherapy. John McCaffrey has been a Director at the Training Institute for Mental Health since 2000. He received his graduate degree in creative writing from the City College of New York. A former New York Times Creative Writing Fellow and Pushcart Prize nominee, his short stories, essays and book reviews have been published widely in literary journals, newspapers and anthologies. John also teaches fiction writing to adult students, and helps to edit a well-subscribed literary journal.
