Target Audience: psychiatrists, psychologists

Information:

Our extraordinary 18th annual conference will showcase renowned faculty in the field of psychodynamic psychotherapy. Focusing their discussions on two extended clinical vignettes, master clinicians will offer their innovative and ever-evolving reflections on the integration of
theoretical constructs into clinical practice. In addition, two pre-eminent clinicians will speak to several topical issues relevant for all of us in our psychodynamic work. Our overriding goal for the day will be to widen the scope of applicability of psychodynamic psychotherapy to a broad range of clinical situations and to deepen understanding of the curative process. Special attention will be paid to the co-creation of therapeutic impasses and the contributions of both patient and therapist to the unfolding of the “cure.”

• Define the contributions of different paradigms to therapeutic change;
• Compare various therapeutic approaches to two compelling case presentations;
• Determine the role of the transference in the curative process;
