Invite you to a Scientific Meeting: Friday, February 3, 2017 – 7:30 PM
CREATING A FRAMEWORK FOR PSYCHOANALYSIS Presenter: Brian Kloppenberg, LP

Developing a capacity to engage a patient analytically requires that the therapist work along with the clients over time to set up a very specific framework that can survive various intense interactions over the long term. This lecture will focus on two crucial elements of the classical analytic framework, the leased hour and daily sessions, to demonstrate how they make possible more dynamic clinical processes. These elements often come across as strange—even intolerable—to both clinicians and patients alike. The aim of this lecture will be to show some of the necessary developments that must take place within the clinician and the patient in order to establish a more classical framework, as well as the benefits that accrue from this evolution in the treatment.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

Participants will be able to:
1) Conceptualize two of the primary elements of the classical analytic framework, the leased hour and daily sessions.
2) Identify resistances within both the clinician and the patient to these elements.
3) Conceptualize ways to move beyond these resistances so that a more classical framework can be established.
