ISSTD Washington, DC Regional Conference Registration Link
" ... I am excited to share information about our upcoming ISSTD regional conference. This in-person conference is on Friday, October 25, 2024 and Saturday, October 26, 2024 in Arlington, Virginia. This conference is open to everyone! If you feel comfortable doing so, then please share information about our conference with your networks. I sincerely believe this will be an incredible learning opportunity.
Daniel Shaw, LCSW, Jennifer Gómez, PhD, and Richard Loewenstein, MD, will present on the multifaceted impact of narcissistic abuse, complex relational trauma, cultural betrayal trauma, and dissociative identity adaptations on attachment and healing. Although these ISSTD members need no introduction, I have shared their bios and a brief synopsis of their presentations below.
Daniel Shaw, LCSW is a New York based psychoanalyst who is an activist in support of individuals and families traumatically abused in cults. Additionally, he is a faculty member and supervisor at The National Institute for the Psychotherapies in New York. Daniel has published papers in Psychoanalytic Inquiry, Contemporary Psychoanalysis, and Psychoanalytic Dialogues. Daniel's book, Traumatic Narcissism: Relational Systems of Subjugation, was nominated for the distinguished Gradiva Award, and in 2018, the International Cultic Studies Association awarded Daniel the Margaret Thaler Singer Award for advancing the understanding of coercive persuasion and undue influence. In 2022, Daniel's book entitled Traumatic Narcissism and Recovery: Leaving the Prison of Shame and Fear was published and continues to receive much acclaim.
Daniel's presentation will provide a theoretical understanding of the traumatizing narcissist while highlighting the subjugation and recovery process for survivors. He will discuss his clinical frame when working with those who have survived traumatizing narcissists by comparing and contrasting his work with Kernberg's and Kohut's traditional theoretical conceptualizations of narcissism. Finally, Daniel will focus on the delusional omnipotence of the traumatizing narcissist and its impact on survivors.
