Uncanny Communication: When Unspoken Minds Touch

May 1, 2026, from 7 to 9 PM
in person at ICP

EARN 2 NYS CE CREDITS

What happens when the psychic boundary presumed to separate analyst and patient is breached by telepathic transmission?

Drawing on clinical material, de Peyer proposes a shift from assumptions of psychic separation to non-sensory, field-based communication that challenges prevailing analytic epistemologies. Through two contrasting cases of unbidden telepathic transmission, she explores both the dilemmas and generative potential of uncanny phenomena—such as telepathic dreams—situating them within a relational, two-person field. She suggests that moments of uncanny attunement, when met with openness and tolerance of uncertainty, can serve as portals to previously unavailable clinical material.

Janine de Peyer, LCSW-R, is a supervisor, training analyst, and faculty member at the National Institute for the Psychotherapies, New York, and serves on the faculties of the Florida Psychoanalytic Center and the Stephen Mitchell Relational Study Center. She has been an Associate Editor of Psychoanalytic Dialogues since 2006 and lectures internationally on transference–countertransference, eroticism, dissociation, and uncannycommunication in the analytic dyad. Her publications include Ecstasy and Agony: When Too Much Is Not Enough (2025), Piercing the Veil: From Intuition to Telepathic Receptivity (2024), and Uncanny Communication and the Porous Mind (2016). Originally from London, she practices in New York City, integrating EMDR within a contemporary relational psychoanalytic framework.
