Courses: This class will give clinicians new ideas and
deeper dimensions to understand the dynamics of transference,
counter-transference and ambivalence, and how the therapist and client can
advance in treatment and in life.
This course will discuss practical and theoretical approaches to working ever more effectively to engage the ambivalent patient, and to support the therapist. Discussions center around how to use feelings generated in the treatment for the purposes of enhancing the life-drive, and deepening the understanding of the client. As always at NCAPS, participants present case and life experiences, gathering new ideas about themselves, the art of treatment, and the pleasure of being engaged with other professionals. Readings are provided to students and
include some writings bythe late Phyllis W. Meadow and Hyman Spotnitz, MD,
the father of modern psychoanalysis and renowned expert on
ambivalence. These unique readings provide rare
insight into how to join the feeling-states of clients for optimal
progress.

People who take this class will likely find it profitable in all kinds of ways. To register call Ncaps (New Center for Advanced Psychotherapy Studies at 973.249.8111) Appointments and Disappointments: Working with the patient who wants to leave Thursdays, 11 am EST beginning October 30, 2008 (8 sessions) The patient who wants to leave often arouses great (and confusing) emotions in the therapist -- fear, panic and anger -- even in the most experienced practitioners. These feelings when unexamined make the worst advisers. This course will creatively and precisely examine the dynamics involved and will develop the most effective strategies that will enrich patient and therapist. Whose feelings are they anyway? This is often the central question of treatment. Our own feelings and the feelings of patients are often mixed together, but knowing how to analyze them often gives us the best clue in how to make progress for patient and therapist . |
