LECTURE DETAILS
Description: The analytic community has come to appreciate how the utilization of primitive fantasies and concretization in symbolic functioning in many psychosomatic patients often limits clinical work. Less is known about the limitations posed by patients who present with both a physical deformity and psychosomatic symptoms. This presentation attempts to address this gap. The focus is on how this patient’s body deformity impacted the body/mind continuum and how that boundary blurring emerged in the transference/countertransference dynamics.
CME Objectives:
- Demonstrate increased quality of clinical care of psychosomatic patients, paying particular attention to the embodied transference and countertransference.
- Describe the underlying psychodynamics of psychosomatic patients with a physical deformity, including both psychic and environmental defects and deficits.
