OPEN HOUSE LUNCHEON & CLINICAL PRESENTATION FOR THOSE CONSIDERING POSTGRADUATE TRAINING
THIRTEEN AND “BROKEN-HEARTED”
Wednesday, June 20, 2012, 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM
Aly, who came to treatment at 13 years old, was born with a congenital heart disease: a failed heart. At that time, open heart surgery was scheduled immediately, followed by medications, emergency room visits and a pacemaker. Her childhood was completely controlled and dictated by her heart. Yet Aly became a powerful presence in and out of therapy yearning for life and normalcy, just wanting to experience freedom. Her complicated family situation–life with a guilty, resentful, intrusive grandmother and a father battling the grandmother for custody from afar–added to the challenges of this treatment. The therapeutic relationship seemed to gel almost instantly out of the patient’s overwhelming need for help during a period of transition, loss and adjustment. Challenges soon became apparent. In this presentation, a complex treatment of an adolescent with a history of serious medical issues from birth and an embattled family will be discussed.
PRESENTER: Melba Villar, L.M.S.W. is a graduate of The Metropolitan Institute for Training in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy’s Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy Program.
LOCATION: 160 West 86th Street (outside entrance, between Amsterdam & Columbus Avenues)
