Professionals Affiliated with LAISPS (PALS)

Professionals Affiliated with LAISPS is a community outreach program that offers psychotherapists and other interested professionals an opportunity to learn more about psychoanalysis in an informal setting. Typically, members of PALS groups meet monthly with two LAISPS analysts who facilitate discussions of theoretical and clinical topics from a psychoanalytic perspective. Members of PALS enjoy intellectual stimulation, experience collegial support, and through their formal affiliation with LAISPS, participate in special events and activities. At present, there is one group of PALS that has been meeting for several years. Facilitated by Lynn Goren, Ph.D. and Joy Schary, Psy.D., its members include DeeDee Gartman, M.A., Lola Greenspan, M.A., Halina Irving, M.A., Richard Newman, Ph.D., Dominique Robertson, Ph.D., Nancy Sokolow, M.S.W., and Karen Tobias, M.A.
