MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN PATIENTS’ LIVES
Presenter: Sandra Buechler, Ph.D.
No matter what theoretical orientation we hold, all clinicians have something in common. At least in part, we chose our profession because we want to make a difference in our patients’ lives. We want to help people have more access to joy, curiosity, love, and resilience. We want to help them bear life’s sorrows, anxieties, traumas, and the guilt, shame, regret, sadness, and other painful feelings they may have. And, perhaps most of all, we want to help develop the talents of the next generation of clinicians, so that they, too, can make a difference in their patients’ lives. How can we accomplish these goals?
Sandra Buechler, Ph.D. is a Training and Supervising Analyst at The William Alanson White Institute, Supervisor, Psychiatric Institute Internship and Postdoctoral Programs, and Supervisor at The Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy. A graduate of The William Alanson White Institute, Dr. Buechler has written extensively on emotions in psychoanalysis, including papers on hope, joy, loneliness, and mourning in the analyst and patient. In her book, Clinical Values: Emotions that Guide Psychoanalytic Treatment, published by Analytic Press, July, 2004, Dr. Buechler examines the role of hope, courage, the capacity to bear loss, the ability to achieve emotional balance, and other factors in treatment. Her most recent book, Making a Difference in Patients’ Lives: Emotional Experience in the Therapeutic Setting (Routledge, 2008), is a personal description of the process of therapeutic change.
No registration or fee required. Refreshments served following the presentation.
