NAVIGATING BOUNDARIES AND COUNTERTRANSFERENCE WHEN WORKING WITH CHILDREN, ADOLESCENTS AND THEIR PARENTS PRESENTER: SHELLY PETNOV-SHERMAN, LCSW
Treating children and adolescents can be extremely fulfilling and fun, as well as complex and difficult. Navigating the engagement of parents while maintaining confidentiality and boundaries can feel like “walking on a tightrope without a safety net.” This presentation will help facilitate and may challenge your understanding and knowledge of the dynamics involved in working with children and adolescents and their parents. Shelly Petnov-Sherman will use clinical material to illustrate these dynamics. She will also discuss her countertransference with this group of patients and how it has impacted and informed the treatment. This presentation will include how she came to this work and the trials she has endured, as well as how her ways of working have evolved over time.
Learning Objectives:
Participants will: 1) discuss how transference and countertransference can facilitate or make for impasses in working with children, adolescents and their parents/caregivers, 2) identify nuances of confidentiality and the impact of treatment with this population, and 3) discuss the importance of acknowledging, respecting and working with racial and ethnic values with children, adolescents and their families.
