Join us for a six-week guided reading group organized in collaboration with the ICSW (Institute for Clinical Social Work in Chicago). This group will meet Saturday mornings this Spring as we prepare for the MPSI 2026 Fall Conference featuring Nancy McWilliams and her discussion of psychoanalytic supervision.
Nancy McWilliams’ newest work, Psychoanalytic Supervision, offers a clinically grounded examination of supervisory practice. This program’s objective is to translate McWilliams’ clinical wisdom into live supervisory practice, strengthening supervisors’ capacity to think psychoanalytically and relationally, while being firmly rooted in theory and ethical decision making.
This event is open to all psychotherapists and psychoanalysts, though it will be particularly tailored to clinicians engaged in or interested in offering supervision. Guest facilitators with supervisory experience will help guide the exploration and discussion of psychoanalytic supervision.
Each session will be hosted by Nadia Kolesski, MS, LPCC and Comfort Belbas, MSW, LICSW, along with a guest facilitator each week who brings direct supervisory experience.
Facilitators will include:
- Eric Boone, MSW, LICSW
- Elizabeth Wittenberg, JD, MSW, LICSW
- Anne Gearity, PhD, LICSW
- Barbara Berger, PhD, LCSW
- Nathan Dougal LCSW, BCD
