The purpose of the salon is to gather in an informal setting to share basic and applied psychoanalytic principles that help you explore your interest in psychoanalysis and/or psychodynamic psychotherapy.
PROGRAM INFORMATION
Description: This Salon is designed for psychotherapists and analysts interested in the intensive psychodynamic treatment of children and adolescents. Dr. Adler will describe in-depth analytic work with an early-stage adolescent girl whose treatment ended when she was 14 years old. She struggled with reactions to her parents’ divorce during this time as well as her own anxieties around aggression and separation, and conflicts around autonomy and control. Participants will be able to identify adolescent conflicts over the search for emotional independence and apply this expanded insight to more general work with children navigating the often-tumultuous pulls during early adolescence. The detailed clinical work brings the theoretical considerations ‘to life’ and provides more therapeutic tools at this development juncture. Dr. Adler also will reexamine this past clinical work through her current point of view. She presented this program previously as a workshop at the 2022 national Association for Child Psychoanalysis meeting.
CME Objectives:
- Describe two psychodynamic factors central to the constructive expression of aggression during early-stage adolescence.
- Describe two ways in which the analysis of defense contributes to greater coping skills at this age.
