Abby and Patrick welcome psychoanalyst and clinical social worker Brian Ngo-Smith, President of the American Association for Psychoanalysis in Clinical Social Work (AAPCSW). Focusing on his paper “This Couch Has Bed Bugs: On the Homelessness of Psychoanalysis and the Psychoanalysis of Homelessness,” they talk about psychotherapy with unhoused clients and tensions between the priorities of psychoanalysis versus social work, the desire to help, and our society’s hatred of dependence. Turning to D.W. Winnicott’s ideas about hate in countertransference, they explore how unacknowledged hatred by caregivers for their patients manifests not only interpersonally but also in institutional behaviors and broader social policy. They also discuss Brian’s recent work on the eros of care, including a paper entitled “Porosity and Preoccupation: Queer Thoughts on Psychoanalytic Care,” which he will deliver as the Gertrude and Ernst Ticho Memorial Lecture at the National Meeting of the American Psychoanalytic Association in New York this February.

Articles discussed include:

D.W. Winnicott’s classic essay, “Hate in the Counter-Transference,” available here: Thttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3330380/pdf/348.pdf

Brian Ngo-Smith, “This Couch Has Bed Bugs: On the Homelessness of Psychoanalysis and the Psychoanalysis of Homelessness,” Clinical Social Work Journal 46:1, March 2018.

Brian Ngo-Smith, “Porosity and Preoccupation: Queer Thoughts on Psychoanalytic Care,” to be delivered at the 2024 National Meeting of the American Psychoanalytic Association in New York on February 10th from 2-4pm.

Can your couch could help you save the world? In this eco-conscious episode of Pitch Please, we're diving deep into Paige's CouchHaus – a revolutionary name in the furniture world that's reshaping more than just the living rooms across Canada. Learn how Paige and her partner turned their e-commerce passion into a booming business, selling all their stores to focus primarily on CouchHaus. But it's not all sofas and throw pillows; it's about finding work-life balance with your fiancé-turned-business-partner while navigating the choppy waters of startup life.

Paige opens up about the realities of working with your partner, haring her journey towards carving out personal time while respecting her partner's die-hard dedication to their business. And of course, she spills the beans on what makes CouchHaus tick – their commitment to sustainability with initiatives like planting 100 trees for every couch built and partnering with The Furniture Bank to donate used sofas to families in need.

For anyone who felt buying furniture was an intimidating and unsatisfying experience, Paige's tales resonate deeply. She tackles the outdated furniture industry with a whip-smart digital strategy, offering a customized, direct-to-consumer approach that's all about personal connection – right down to starting with virtual fabric showcases and Facebook Marketplace.
