Charles Parks, PhD

A young boy, faced with the loss of multiple caretakers, worked to acknowledge and understand overwhelming feelings so that he could resume 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 trans-formations 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.
Dr. Charles Parks, the Chair of the American Psychoanalytic Association’s Committee on Child and Adolescent Analysis, is a Training and Supervising Analyst and Child and Adolescent Supervisor at the Baltimore Washington Institute for Psychoanalysis. He is an Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences and a member of the clinical faculty of the Georgetown University Department of Psychiatry. Additionally, Dr. Parks maintains a private practice in psychoanalysis and psychotherapy with children, adolescents, and adults in both Chevy Chase, MD and Washington, D.C.
All are welcome.
