Sunday, 10/18/26, 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM, Eastern Time (Daylight Saving Time), MITPP CEU-Approved Online Workshop: SEEKING ASYLUM – TWICE AS LIKELY
VIA Zoom
PRESENTER: SUSAN McNAMARA, MD
2 Contact Hours
Freud fled from Vienna to London in 1938, terrified after the Gestapo picked up his daughter, Anna. It was not easy to get the Freuds the necessary immigration permits from the British government and even more difficult to extricate the Freuds from Nazi Vienna. Ernest Jones applied pressure through diplomatic channels and the Nazis needed to be bribed. Psychoanalysts from Austria and Germany fled to Britain, Switzerland, the United States, and Argentina, essentially anywhere they could gain entry, many times leaving behind family members who would be murdered in the camps. Over and over, we see people fleeing their countries for safety and struggling to gain legal status and avoid deportation to a certain death. We will discuss the psychodynamics of immigration, the physical and psychological trauma of those who emigrate, and the practicalities of how one might help new immigrants by providing objective assessments and essential documentation supporting legal claims for asylum, T Visas, and other forms of humanitarian relief and protection in the United States.

Saturday, October 24, 2026, 9:00 am - 4:30 pM, Pacific Time, NPI Fall Conference: Understanding Traumatic Narcissism Theory and Its Clinical Utility
6 CE Credits Available
Presented by Dan Shaw, LCSW
6 CE Credits Available
Venue: The Chicago School The Chicago School (2400 E Katella Ave, Ste 150 Anaheim, CA 92806)
Beginning in 1996 with the essay “Traumatic Abuse in Cults: A Psychoanalytic Perspective,” up to the release in 2026 of his latest book, Traumatic Narcissism Theory: A Contemporary Introduction, Daniel Shaw has studied the psychology of the individual he terms the “traumatizing narcissist,” and the specific ways that they seduce and then subjugate others. Trained extensively in relational psychoanalysis as well as in trauma-informed psychotherapies, Shaw uses his understanding of the psychology and the behavior of the traumatizing narcissist to provide tools for the therapeutic healing and recovery of victims of “subjugation trauma,” his term for the impact of the traumatizing narcissist’s coercive control of victims. The Traumatic Narcissism Theory summarizes Shaw’s work of the last thirty years, providing accessible, practical information and tools in support of both psychotherapists and their clients working toward healing from the traumatizing narcissist’s relational system of subjugation.
