Publications<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Can We Imagine a World without Walls?<\/h2>\n

(2023, March1). Journal of the Association for Psychoanalysis of Culture and Society<\/em> [online journal].<\/p>\n

This paper is a tale of two immigrants, an analyst and a patient, whose treatment was truncated when the patient left after ten sessions. The contrast between different migration experiences and a shared language provided the grounds for an intense therapeutic experience exacerbated by peace demonstrations and changes in immigration policies in the US. Mourning the loss of the patient was an important piece in the transformation and understanding of the analyst\u2019s own unresolved issues.<\/p>\n

The Absence of Women in Classical Music<\/h2>\n

(2023). Clio’s Psyche, <\/em>29(3): 348-351.<\/p>\n

This essay examines a particular field, classical music, where gender stereotyping and discrimination have reigned for centuries. Currently, classical music, in different cultures, is still a man\u2019s world, though in most recent times there has been some positive movement. Still, this artistic practice has lagged behind other artistic areas where women are better represented; this is a powerful place of gender discrimination. This project is my attempt to understand the disparity of women\u2019s representation in conducting and composing classical music as compared to men.<\/p>\n

No Apologies: Unfinished Business and the Pact to Forget<\/h2>\n

(2023). \u201cOther\/Wise: Selected Papers from the 2022 IFPE Conference, \u2018Disruptions and Transformations,\u2019\u201d Other\/Wise <\/em>[online journal], International Forum for Psychoanalytic Education, Spring (1).<\/p>\n

This presentation discusses the film The Silence of Others<\/em> (2019), which reveals the epic struggle of victims of Spain\u2019s 40-year dictatorship under General Franco, who continue to this day to seek justice. Filmed over six years, the movie follows survivors as they organize a groundbreaking fight against a state-imposed amnesia of crimes against humanity.<\/p>\n

Presentations<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

How Human are We? Reflections on Malevolence and Paranoid Fantasies<\/h2>\n

(2023). Division 39, American Psychological Association, Annual Conference, April 26 \u2013 29, New York, NY.<\/p>\n

In a panel entitled, \u201cWhere is our Humanity: Three Latina Women Psychoanalysts Discuss Dehumanization, Gender and Immigration,\u201d one presenter from the United States (Lijtmaer) addressed how dehumanization takes place; a second presenter, a \u201ctrans-border\u201d therapist living on the border of Mexico and the US (Tijuana\u2013San Diego), discussed dehumanization of migrant women; and a third presenter from Mexico City addressed gender violence.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h2>\n

Evil Spirits and the Feared \u201cOther\u201d<\/h2>\n

(2023). International Psychohistory Association, May 18 \u2013 20, New York, NY and online.<\/p>\n

For a conference on the theme of \u201cWhat on earth is going on? Psychohistorical perspectives on a world on the edge,\u201d Lijtmaer showed how poisonous prejudice and hate against race, class, religion, ethnic minorities, or gender are often skillfully hidden behind deception and lies. Is evil simply the absence of good, or is it more an active pursuit of wrongdoing? Why is the \u201cother\u201d so dangerous? Dialogue and the recognition of the \u201cother\u201d as a human being are an emergency, now that populations in the world are polarized due to the pandemic, climate change, politics and war.<\/p>\n

Immigrants as Viruses that “Destroy” the Countries and are Dehumanized<\/h2>\n

(2023). Joint International Conference, May 26 \u2013 28, Naxos, Greece.<\/p>\n

In this presentation, Lijtmaer reflected on the connection between the appearance and effects of the virus and the lives of immigrants. The pandemic crisis was\/is a crisis of the symbolic order, invoking psychoanalytic work regarding imaginary objects. We cannot see it but we know it is there. Some people know that there are immigrants even though they cannot see them directly. If they do see them, dehumanization occurs: They are the virus, the vermin, or the parasite who will ruin the country and its resources.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Fear of the Virus and Fear of Immigrants: Both Unwelcome Children to be Removed<\/h2>\n

(2023). International Ferenczi Conference, June 9 \u2013 11, Budapest, Hungary.<\/p>\n

When a nation feels threatened by the virus or immigrants, they create walls to protect the susceptible citizens against sexual assault, crimes, and to eliminate the danger of parasites draining the nation’s resources. The experience of one\u2019s nation having fragile boundaries, is psychologically equivalent to the fear that one\u2019s own body is being penetrated. Lijtmaer drew on Ferenczi’s work on trauma, confusion of tongues and the unwelcome child to explain the trauma of immigrants.<\/p>\n
