THE PSYCHIC IMMUNE SYSTEM
Nancy C. Winters, MD
Saturdays, December 3, 10, 12-3 pm
On Zoom
The human immune system has been called the sixth sense because of the vast array of external threats it defends against; the phenomenon of autoimmunity, in which these defenses are directed against the self, is one of its enigmas. This course considers aspects of immunity and autoimmunity as psychic phenomena expressed in the analytic situation, from several vertices: drive theory, object relations, psychosomatics, and socio-cultural implications.
Nancy C. Winters, MD, FIPA is a training and supervising analyst of the Oregon Psychoanalytic Institute (OPI) and the Northwestern Psychoanalytic Society and Institute (NPSI); former Professor, Child Psychiatry Residency Director and currently Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU). She has a private psychoanalytic practice in Portland, Oregon. Recent publications include the book Body as psychoanalytic object: clinical applications from Winnicott to Bion and beyond (with Harrang and Tillotson, Routledge, 2021) and “Autoimmunity and its expression in the analytic situation: A contemporary reflection on our inherent self-destructiveness” (IJP, in press).
