Presented by Charles E. Parks, PhD

Saturday, May 4, 2024

10 am to 12 pm ET

Hybrid via Zoom or In Person

Fee: $50**

A young boy, faced with the loss of multiple caretakers, worked to acknowledge and understand overwhelming feelings so that he could resume his emotional development. Initially his concerns were expressed through disturbances in bodily functions (encopresis) and disavowal. Analytic progress allowed a series of psychic transformations which increased his capacity to elaborate these concerns in fantasy and in play. Examination of these transformations is used to discuss core questions in child analysis including the nature of therapeutic action in work with children, the meaning and role of insight in this work, and the multiple ways a child uses the relationship with the analyst to progress in the treatment. The relevance of these findings to analytic work with adults is also discussed.
