Depressed, Defeated and Defenseless: Sam from 7 to 25
Wednesday, June 22, 2011
1:00 PM – 2:30 PM

Judith Newman, M.S., L.C.S.W., will present the long-term treatment of a child that began when he was seven years old and continues today. Sam is now a young man of twenty-five. His parents brought him for therapy as a result of their concerns about the limitations imposed upon his life by his verbal and non verbal learning disabilities. His treatment will be described, especially his play as it reflected stages in his developmental progress. A focus will be on how the therapist’s countertransference experience of depression, defeat and defenselessness opened the way to Sam’s elaboration of his own such experiences.

PRESENTER: Judith Newman, M.S., L.C.S.W. Faculty: Metropolitan Institute for Training in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, Adult and Child and Adolescent Programs. Faculty, Training Analyst and Supervisor: National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis. Member: Institute for Psychoanalytic Training and Research.

LOCATION: 160 West 86th Street (outside entrance, between Amsterdam & Columbus Avenues)

RSVP: Space is limited. There is no fee but you must reserve in advance. For reservations: please contact Ivy Vale, Registrar, at (212) 496-2858 or email mitppnyc@aol.com.
