I am and have been a practicing psychoanalyst for the past 50 years. I am a member and training analyst at the Los Angeles Psychoanalytic Society and Institute as well as a member of the American and International Psychoanalytic Associations. At the American, I am Chair of the ongoing discussion group Infant Mental Life and the Dream in Psychoanalysis. My training included eight years of a classical analysis with Dr. Carl Van der Heide and then twelve years of psychoanalysis with Dr. Wilfred Bion. This website presents a new paradigm for psychoanalysis, the result of my psychoanalytic research over these many years. I offer them for your reading, and commentary.When Freud discovered the unconscious, everything seemed possible. The new field he built around his discovery, psychoanalysis, offered mankind a dizzying possibility: to be free from the forces that constrain him, free from forces that compel him to pursue the wrong paths even as his conscious mind condemns those paths. Yet to simply find a name for these unconscious forces – a name like “repetition compulsion,” for example – did not diminish or eradicate them. So as the decades passed there was a problem, borne out in the analyst’s office: psychoanalysis did not provide the results we had hoped for. It was the failure of Freud’s paradigm to actually heal us that led to the great proliferation of theories we have now, each taking a piece of the great master’s overarching theory in order to form a nucleus of its own.Freud believed that drugs would one day supersede his theoretical structure by curing mental and emotional diseases themselves. But no pill can make an interpretation to a human being in suffering; only another human being, one who is knowledgeable enough, can do that. Still, Freud knew that one day his elaborate structure would be left behind the same way that all great discoveries are abandoned when more encompassing, truer visions may be seen, visions made possible by the work of those who have gone before. No such vision has yet emerged in psychoanalysis, despite our hope and longing.Today, there is a crisis in the field. Psychoanalytic societies and institutes are impoverished in numbers, in belief, and in enthusiasm. Fewer and fewer people seek out the help that analysts can offer. Entrance into the societies is down; all over the world institutes lament the lack of new applicants entering into psychoanalytic training. This can only mean one thing: that the common wisdom of the young agrees that what we have to offer does not make them catch fire – eager to enlist with a passion in an arduous journey that once might have promised the keys to the secrets of the heart and mind, and the dreams that plague us.I have given the problem of psychoanalysis a great deal of thought over these years. Now, I wish to present my own theory and solution to the problem. The thesis I am putting forward here has been tested for years and years, and so far has not been found wanting. I trust you will consider it with due care. I call this work holistic psychoanalysis for it includes the mind, body, and the spiritual. Indeed, I am convinced that the study of dreams consecutively and deeply leads to spiritual knowledge.So to pause for a moment, this is who we are, this is why we are here – to share the knowledge that I have accumulated in the past fifty years for your thinking and consideration.

Born in Houston, TX, to Vietnamese immigrant parents and raised in Germany, Khanh grew up immersed in a blend of cultures, each shaping her appreciation for craftsmanship, aesthetics, and storytelling. After studying Psychology in Boston, a chance connection with the coffee world through Jaho Coffee sparked a new passion - one that merged community, experience, and design. As Director of Brand Development for Jaho Coffee, Khanh honed an eye for how branding and visual identity shape the way people experience coffee.With a deep love for design’s ability to elevate the everyday, Khanh founded CHEEBXDESIGN, a creative studio dedicated to capturing the beauty in design and how it enhances perception - because a well-crafted experience, much like a well-brewed cup of coffee, is greater than the sum of its parts. Now, as co-founder of Dekáf Coffee Roasters, that philosophy extends to redefining decaf. Caffeine-free should never mean flavor-free, and great coffee should look just as good as it tastes.When not shaping the future of decaf, Khanh enjoys traveling, discovering new foods, spending time with family, and doting on her cat, Jeffery (who, much like a great design, brings endless joy in the simplest of ways).

Anil caught the entrepreneurial bug watching his immigrant parents hustle after moving to the US from Albania when he was 11. A year studying in Tokyo during college didn't just leave him fluent in Japanese - it sparked a lifelong love affair with coffee that led to founding Jaho Coffee in his hometown of Salem, MA in 2005. Since then, he's built a mini empire with seven Massachusetts locations, two Tokyo cafés, and a string of ventures including Barista Connection (before coffee folks had Instagram!), Milkboy Boba & Ice Cream, and Bagel Boys. His latest venture, Dekáf Coffee Roasters, is on a mission to prove decaf drinkers deserve the good stuff too.

"I always loved fashion, but hated swimsuits. I knew there was something wrong with it, but coudn't put my finger on the exact issue. I just sucked it up and wore subpar swimwear that dug and squeezed, year after year."That was, until April of 2019 when Segar had her lightbulb moment after trying on dozens of swimsuits. "I literally said out loud out of frustration, 'I just want a swimsuit that fits like my favorite no-show underwear does.' And it was in that moment that it hit me. I knew had to create it."Fast forward to November 2021 when Hayley launched her patented swimsuit concept that is truly 'onewith' a wearer's body.

When I was in Law School, I struggled to see myself ever practicing law. I had the good fortune to have a professor who told me to, "not let the well trodden path of others determine my journey." I took that advice to heart and years later my path has certainly been non-traditional. After graduating, I moved to Brooklyn, New York and worked plenty of odd jobs, a barista, a clerk at a vintage clothing store, a bicycle mechanic, and through sheer luck, or fate, about a year after landing in New York, I packed up everything I had, with about $50 in my bank account and moved to Detroit, Michigan. In Detroit, with no money, connections, or job I got the first opportunity I could as a waiter and started to figure out what on earth I was doing with my life. Detroit at that time was going through its bankruptcy and the narrative around "re-birth" of the city and opportunity was permeating everything. I enthusiastically jumped in to the entrepreneurial scene in the city and founded a convenience store/neighborhood grocery store called Parker Street Market. It was there I was able to establish myself in the city and had the opportunity to welcome the likes of Bill Clinton and Richard Branson into the store. But my journey wasn't over. The truth was I struggled as an entrepreneur. Every day was an incredible challenge. After running the store for nearly 4 years, I decided to close it and find a new opportunity. I will forever be grateful to those in my circle that could "read between the lines" of my resume and give me an opportunity to come to an advertising agency called, GTB. It was there that I learned about brand, strategy, storytelling, and what it takes to be an impactful contributor in a large company. After learning so much from so many, I decided to take on a new opportunity and join Ford Motor Company. Now, as an Associate Director for Strategy and Business Development, I have the opportunity to work on the bleeding edge of an American Icon disrupting itself and working on the necessary competencies to ensure the company thrives well into the future. In the spring of 2023 I completed my MBA from the University of Michigan Ross School of Business.

Frustrated by the lack of beautiful, elevated designs in children's clothing, she set out to create a brand that combined style, comfort, and practicality. Motette offers thoughtfully crafted pieces featuring unique prints and high-quality bamboo fabrics that are soft, breathable, and gentle on delicate skin. Designed to keep kids cozy throughout the day and night, the brand’s pajamas allow little ones to sleep soundly and play effortlessly while maintaining a refined aesthetic. Motette provides parents with a trusted option that prioritizes both quality and design.Before launching Motette, Samantha Gold served as the CEO of a contemporary women’s brand and spent over a decade in tech, holding leadership roles at Fortune 500 companies. These experiences equipped her with the expertise to effectively manage and scale Motette, ensuring the brand’s commitment to excellence in both craftsmanship and customer experience.
