A MULTITUDE IN THE ROOM:
EXPLORING IMMIGRANTS’ SELF-STATES AND THEIR INTERSECTING IDENTITIES
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2024
1:00 PM – 3:00 PM
PRESENTER: MARIA LAGUNA, LCSW
An individual's sense of self is not a cohesive and monadic structure, but entails a plurality of “selves” with varying degrees of continuity and integration. This is what Psychoanalyst Philip Bromberg refers to as “self-states.” In the encounter with a new land and a new culture, the immigrant patient comes to inhabit multiple “self-states,” some of which are rooted in pre-migratory identities, and others are developed in the encounter with the new culture. In the immigrant patient, some of these self-states may speak different languages, belong to different social classes and have different gender expressions. This workshop aims at introducing clinicians with tools to help immigrant patients connect and integrate with their multiple selves using the lens of intersectionality.
Learning Objectives:
Participants will:
1) identify unconscious fantasies and defense mechanisms that are mobilized as a result of immigration.
2) be introduced to the concept of "self-states" and the way they manifest in the immigrant patient.
3) explore the importance of using an intersectionality lens to engage and facilitate integration of patient's multiple selves.
