Windows into the Therapy Process
Ruth Altman, MA & Stuart Ozar, MD
NEXT CLASS: OCTOBER 2012
Institute Classroom A
CME/CE: 14.0
This course will focus on an in-depth discussion of clinical case material in order to shed light on the psychodynamic psychotherapy process. Each class will begin with a brief theoretical description of a core clinical concept, followed by the presentation and discussion of material from a long-term psychotherapy process. We welcome lively discussion, dialogue and debate. While we encourage therapists working from within other theoretical frameworks to take this class, we do expect partcipants to have some knowlege of psychodynamic theory and practice. Classes meet on Wednesday evenings for seven weeks.
Objectives:
1. To provide students exposure to clinical material
2. Clarify the relationship of theory to clinical practice
3. Describe various phases of treatment
4. Understand the experience and use of transference and countertransference
5. Understand the concepts of conflict and compromise formation
6. Review mulitple models of psychological functioning
7. Describe the spectrum of psychodynamic treatments
8. Introduce criteria for assessing suitability for psychodynamic treatments
Registration will open Fall 2012
