For Current Faculty and Trainees
Program Description:
This interactive, 3-hour event will present a psychoanalytic case (spanning two to three sessions), participants will observe experienced clinicians dissect clinical material, evaluate technical interventions, and reflect on their own clinical approaches.
Six panelists, comprised of two senior analysts, two graduate analysts, an analytic candidate in training, and a psychotherapy student, will share their reactions and associations to the material presented. Attendees will then be invited to engage with the panelists for large group discussion.
Attendees should leave with an enhanced understanding of how to more effectively work with patients by learning about how their colleagues handle difficult clinical issues.
Learning Objectives:
1. Describe how transference and countertransference are used to understand various aspects of the patient’s character structure.
2. Discuss the subtleties in technique in how to interpret/respond to a patient.
3. Demonstrate attunement to unconscious process as it emerges in the clinical/dream material and in the panel and large group discussion that follows.
