INVITE YOU TO
ABANDONING THE FANTASY OF AN IDEAL MATE IN THE SEARCH FOR AN INTIMATE PARTNER: A CLINICAL WORKSHOP
Saturday, April 17, 2010
Presenter: Judith C. White, MS, LCSW
This workshop continues the exploration of themes addressed in a lecture sponsored by MITPP last spring. Many individuals and couples seek psychotherapy for difficulties they have encounteredin their search for an intimate partner. These patients often present with long standing fantasies, both romantic and sexual, of an ideal partner that pose barriers to their acceptance of available and potentially more viable mates. The significance of a person’s family of origin and developmental level/capacity for object relations will be considered. How these factors combine to enhance or inhibit good enough relationships in adulthood will be addressed. Clinical work with individuals/couples from racially diverse backgrounds will illustrate these themes. Workshop participants will have an opportunity to practice using interventions which illuminate these dynamics.
Judith C. White, MS, LCSW is a member of the Analytic Group Faculty of Postgraduate Center for Mental Health and a Supervisor at The National Institute of the Psychotherapies. She is also an AASECT Certified sex therapist. She has made numerous presentations and has published articles on the mental health of African Americans and the impact of race/ethnicity on individual and group psychotherapies with both black and white women. Her most recent publication, co-authored with Prudence Emery, was Clinical Issues with African American and White Women Wishing to Marry in Mid Life.
