The Psychology Department at The New School (http://newschool.edu) invites you to attend a talk on "Preserving Jeremy Safran's Integrative Vision," featuring speaker Nancy McWilliams. This lecture will examine our professional present and future, encompassing three conceptualizations of the term “psychoanalysis”: as a specific type of treatment, as a knowledge base, and as an ethos, with emphasis on the last area.

Jeremy Safran was an unusual – in fact, unique – voice in our field; he integrated research and practice, academic and non-academic roles, immersion in both spiritual wisdom and secular sensibilities, respect for both traditional and contemporary relational psychoanalytic perspectives, and devout commitment to both work and family. He was a clinician, supervisor, teacher, writer, husband, father, beloved colleague. If psychoanalysis is to survive and evolve, it behooves the field to make the kinds of integrations that Jeremy did as an individual. 

Nancy McWilliams teaches at Rutgers University’s Graduate School of Applied & Professional Psychology and practices in Lambertville, New Jersey. She is the author of Psychoanalytic Diagnosis (1994, rev. ed. 2011), Psychoanalytic Case Formulation (1999), and Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy (2004) and is associate editor of the Psychodynamic Diagnostic Manual, 2nd ed. (2017). A former president of Division 39 (Psychoanalysis) of the American Psychological Association, she has been featured in three APA videos of master clinicians, the most recent being “Three Approaches to Psychotherapy.” Her books are available in 20 languages; she lectures widely both nationally and internationally.
