ANNUAL REPORT 2019 | ICSW
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
I am pleased to present this annual report for the 2018-
2019 academic and fiscal period. During this past year, the Institute for Clinical Social Work continued to fulfill its mission of preparing scholars and practitioners to advance knowledge in the field of clinical social work and counseling with a psychodynamic focus. Because of your ongoing commitment, we have much to celebrate in this annual report. For the 2018 academic year, we welcomed a total of 17 new students , this represented a 21% increase in enrollment from the 2017 academic year. This year, we continued our commitment to maintaining small cohorts who interact with expert faculty members. We also hosted a number of “In the City� events and two conferences for students, faculty, staff, and the community. During the upcoming 2019 academic year, we will continue to provide students with access to rigorous graduate programs, improve our financial health, and live out our values of social justice, compassionate practice, and diversity and inclusion. Together, we have much to look forward to at the Institute for Clinical Social Work.
MICHELLE CURTAIN STEWART President, ICSW 7
ANNUAL REPORT 2019 | ICSW
1981 Established in 1981, The Institute for Clinical Social Work (ICSW) was the 1st accredited, independent school in the nation to offer a doctoral program in clinical social work with an initial cohort of 3 students.
8
2019 Today, we advance this mission with a combination of Master’s and Doctoral programs: our Master’s Degree in Clinical Counseling and Psychotherapy is the only purely clinical MA program in the nation; and our acclaimed Doctoral program, with both Onsite and Distance Learning options, offers a way to explore psychodynamic psychotherapy in true depth, deepening students’ current psychotherapy skills. Since 1981 we have grown to a student body of 131 students across our three programs: Onsite Doctoral, Distance Doctoral, and our Master’s Program.

ANNUAL REPORT 2019 | ICSW
OUR COMMITMENT Our commitment to students at the Institute for Clinical Social Work is to provide them with a rigorous graduate experience, intimate class settings, and access to highly qualified practicing faculty both inside the classroom and through clinical consultations. 10
OUR STUDENT EXPERIENCE
Students receive one-on-one guidance from our expert faculty which is instrumental in advancing each student’s clinical and research skills where it matters most – in their practice. 11
ANNUAL REPORT 2019 | ICSW
COMPASSIONATE PRACTICE “My experiences at ICSW were much like the painful growth that happens when we allow ourselves to be challenged. When I look back on it, the program required me to wrestle with my feelings, thoughts, and desires, and I eventually arrived at a newfound, more compassionate and empowered understanding of myself. This process didn’t always feel pleasant, but I can’t imagine my life or clinical work without it.” Huey Hawkins Distance Ph.D. (Advanced Student) 12
DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION Our faculty members serve as teachers and mentors, but they’re also clinicians, researchers, writers, editors, lecturers, and leaders in the field. The academic framework for both our master’s and doctoral program is inclusive of diverse perspectives that are woven into the coursework.

27
ANNUAL REPORT 2019 | ICSW
WINTER IN THE CITY
The objectives of the program are to discuss mental health in the age of Trump by addressing historical political, economic and psychological conditions that led us to the Trump presidency.
28
Mental Health in the Age of Trump The Trump Phenomena: Violence in American and Their Clinical Implications
Frank Summers, PhD
Cheryl Neuman Meltzer, LCSW
29
Dr. Summers has published extensively and lectured nationwide on object relations theories and their application to the process of psychoanalytic therapy. The emphasis of his contributions has been on the translation of insight into concrete emotional and behavioral changes by bringing to fruition the latent potential of the patient. His books and papers in professional journals elucidate his theory that psychoanalytic therapy is a process of self creation in which the therapist plays the dual role of understanding current patterns and facilitating the creation of new ways of being and relating. ANNUAL REPORT 2019 | ICSW
SPRING IN THE CITY Critique of Regression
A Psychoanalytic Model of Irreversible Lifespan Development. Mr. Rizzolo presents one of the most in-depth critiques of regression available in the psychoanalytic literature, while presenting the first psychoanalytic theory of irreversible lifespan development.
30
Mr. Rizzolo is a candidate in psychoanalytic training at the Chicago Institute for Psychoanalysis. His writing focuses on the intersection of psychoanalytic theory, epistemology and ethics.
Gregory Rizzolo, LCPC
He has published recent work in the Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association, Psychoanalytic Psychology, and the International Journal of Psychoanalytic Self Psychology. He maintains a private practice in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis in Chicago.

ICSW Spring Conference
Making Connections: Women, Global Violence, and the Refugee Experience
F.A. Cole
Julia Geynisman-Tan, M.D
Joanna Vergoth, LCSW, NCPsyA
Synopsis: Human understanding, upon which clinical practice is based, is rooted in compassion derived from contact with experiences outside our own. And, of course, one irony about this comes with the discovery that we are more alike than the differences which have been made of us. ICSW’s full day conference will focus on experiences of women who are living —often—
off of our symbolic professional register, whose whose lives are lived beyond the reach of our formal theories and practices. We will hear from (and about) women--both globally and locally-- who have suffered violence and whose lives are lived beyond the injustice. In coming together, we can expand the reach of our formal theories and practices. In coming together, we can expand the domain of our understanding and learn something about ourselves, as clinicians and as citizens.
