NIPPA Fall Colloquium 2017 Call for Papers
Deadline May 15, 2017
NIPPA's Annual Fall Colloquium Committee is seeking papers for the 2017 Colloquium, which will be held on Sunday, October 29, 2017.
The Fall Colloquium gives NIP graduates and current candidates an opportunity to present a paper to the NIP community, an audience of peers and colleagues. Two senior analysts are invited to comment on the paper as discussants.
We encourage those who have never presented or published their work, and fall into one of the following categories, to submit papers: alumni and candidates of NIP's Adult Training Program, National Training Program, and Supervisory Training Program; alumni of NIP's one year Child & Adolescent Program; and alumni and candidates of NIP's Integrative Trauma Treatment Program who have completed analytic training at NIP or another institute.
Papers may be up to 30 double-spaced pages, typewritten, including the title page and references. After being selected, the author will be asked to hone the paper to a 20-25 minute oral presentation. The author will assist the committee in selecting the discussants.
Please submit papers by Thursday, May 15, 2017 to nippaorg@gmail.com. The subject line should read "2017 Colloquium Paper for Submission." Information identifying the author will be removed and the paper will be forwarded to the committee for review and selection. Only after a paper has been chosen will the author's identity be disclosed to the committee.
We hope you'll take advantage of this opportunity and submit your work. The Fall Colloquium is a congenial event - with a very friendly and supportive atmosphere. Please consider taking this first step into the world of analytic writing and presenting.

Past NIPPA Colloquia
2016 - What's Good Got To Do With It?: Conceiving a New Perspective on Object Relations When Dealing with Trauma
In cases of massive childhood trauma where there has been little or no positive relational experience, this presentation proposes that a good object is not internalized, and only defensive, pathological internal structures are formed. In such cases, therapeutic action turns both on the internalization of a new good object through the treatment relationship, and a loosening of ties to old bad objects.
