Radical openness: A psychoanalytic orientation to race, racism, and other forms of discrimination by Anton Hart, PhD, FABP, FIPA
Tuesday, April 15, 2025, 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM. This event will be held virtually on Zoom.
2 CEs available through APA and NASW.
—————————————————
A psychoanalytic stance offers a unique orientation for addressing the universal problem encountered when people try to talk to each other across the borders of race, culture and and other discrimination-laden domains. A psychoanalytic orientation involves attempting to facilitate articulation of both difference and commonality. Dr. Hart’s work on radical openness, one that draws on interpersonal, relational, phenomenological, and hermeneutic theories in conceiving of a psychoanalytic orientation to listening that emphasizes the therapist’s own unconsciousness and the need for humility, will be described. Radical openness will be conceptualized as an alternative to self-protective adherences to a transference-based way of listening in the clinical situation.
Objectives:
1) Describe the concept of “radical openness” and its purpose for enriching diversity-related exchanges in the clinical process.
2) Identify two primary limitations of a competency-based orientation to addressing diversity issues.
3) Distinguish between radical openness and self-disclosure.

AN IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT EVENT REGISTRATION FEES:
RIAPP uses a "Pay What You Can" model because we believe that education should be accessible to all. Our model recognizes the long history of marginalization of underrepresented groups, namely BIPOC individuals, within psychoanalysis, and we are committed to changing this pattern.
We urge those of you who are able to afford more to register at a higher rate. This will provide access to those who may otherwise be unable to attend. Please help us make RIAPP an inclusive and welcoming space for all.
For those of you seeking guidance, previous year’s rates are below:
Members (Licensed clinicians): $50
Non-Members: $75
Students: $15
