Dana Wehle, LCSW, MFA.,
is a certified psychoanalyst and licensed
clinical social worker in private practice in
New York City and administrative supervisor at
the
Cult Clinic of the Jewish Board of Family
and Children’s Services.
She received her
psychoanalytic training at the National
Institute for the Psychotherapies, is
a member of the Association for the
Psychoanalysis of Society and Culture, and has
presented on the theme of cults on Internet
webcasts, at Rutgers University, the William
Alanson White Institute,
and at other community, professional,
and educational settings. As a classically
trained painter, her
interest in cultic violation of creativity has
coalesced through intensive clinical work with
former members, second generation adults (SGAs),
and families of adult children in cults. Her
article,
"The Suppression of Creativity in Cults,"
is included in Miguel Perlado's book,
Psychoanalytic Approaches to Cult Recovery, and she
will join him in discussing his successful
treatment of a case involving a jazz musician
and his cultic following at the 2007
ICSA conference in Brussels. Ms.
Wehle is editing a special issue of Cultic
Studies Review on "the Impact of
Cults on Creativity."
