Attachment, Trauma and Adoption: Clinical techniques to enhance reflective functioning” with Miriam Steele at NYPSI
By Categories: Announcements

DATE: October 26, 2017 at 8 pm, NYPSI Auditorium, 247 East 82nd Street, NYC (2nd floor)
RE: ADVANCED SEMINAR IN CHILD AND ADOLESCENT ANALYSIS Presenter: Miriam Steele, Ph.D.
“Attachment, Trauma and Adoption: Clinical techniques to enhance reflective functioning”

This seminar will present a dialogue between developmental research and clinical intervention which in recent years has been elucidated in adult treatment but has received less attention in child clinical work. The focus of this talk will be to present a psychodynamically-oriented treatment case of an 9 year old girl who suffered trauma as young child, with multiple moves in foster care until she was adopted at age 7. Paying close attention to specific aspects of a psychotherapeutic intervention can point to the way that developmental research can complement clinical understanding and alert us to some possible sources for promoting therapeutic action.

He is considered one of the foremost writers on psychoanalysis today, having authored over twenty books including Unforbidden Pleasures, Becoming Freud, Winnicott, On Balance, and Going Sane.

Winnicott and the British Independent Group, an all-day conference at Shutters on the Beach in Santa Monica on Saturday, October 28, 2017

The Independent Group in British Psychoanalysis—most notably Winnicott, Khan, Milner, Rycroft, and Laing—pioneered a unique and unprecedented approach to psychoanalytic theory and practice. Adam Phillips, identifying himself as a member and heir to the Independent Group, explores the various dimensions of the Independent Group’s approaches, while engaging with the controversies generated by them in the development of psychoanalysis. This conference concentrates on how the extraordinary range of Independent Group writing might be applicable to today’s clinical practice. There will be close attention to Winnicott’s seminal book, Playing and Reality.

The afternoon program, A Discussion on Winnicott, features great panelists including Lynda Chassler, PhD, Van DeGolia, MD, Jeffrey Prager, PhD, and Leigh Tobias, PhD as they and Adam Phillips focus on Winnicott’s Playing and Reality, Phillips’ Winnicott, and Phillips’ paper, “Winnicott’s Magic: ‘Playing and Reality’ and Reality.” Continue reading Winnicott and the British Independent Group, an all-day conference at Shutters on the Beach in Santa Monica on Saturday, October 28, 2017

A nomenclator was a slave whose duty was to accompanying his master in canvassing the streets of Classical Rome in order to recall the names of those his master encountered. Each of us is, in a way, both that ancient politician and that slave, relying on others’ memories to supply us with knowledge, and others relying on us for the knowledge we recall for them. Hence, knowledge has always been, in part, a distributive entity, requiring a delegation of mental tasks, an implicit commitment to a social contract.

As psychiatric medications have come more and more into everyday use, psychotherapists need to have an understanding of the basic principles of psychopharmacology and the uses and problems associated with the more commonly prescribed medications. The goals of this workshop are twofold: to increase the comfort level of LMSW and LCSW practitioners in working collaboratively with psychiatrists regarding medication management; and to help them guide their clients through the referral, consultation and medication management process. Psychodynamic and practical issues related to the collaborative treatment process and the giving and receiving of psychiatric medications will be integral to the course. A combination of lectures and sharing of clinical experiences will be used to achieve these goals. Continue reading Psychopharmacology for Psychotherapists with Jeffrey Rubin at AIP

This presentation deepens a discussion of the riveting and central issues of technique that Dr. Richards explores in his paper on self-disclosure and self-revelation. When is a self-disclosure or self-revelation an appropriate intervention? What are the historical leanings toward abstinence or toward self-disclosure? How did Freud practice—where did he stand in his formal writing, and where did he venture in his own practice? Attendees are asked to think about examples from their own practice when they have been faced with technical questions about disclosure, and to be prepared if they wish to discuss such an example. All participants are asked to read Dr. Richards’ paper prior to the presentation; it will be emailed to them once an RSVP is received. Space is limited so please RSVP only if you are able to physically attend, and 2 CEU’s are available upon completion of the event.

Navigating Boundaries and Countertransference When Working with Children, and Adolescents and Their Parents with Shelly Petnov-Sherman at MITPP
By Categories: Announcements

The Metropolitan Institute for Training in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, The Metropolitan Center for Mental Health and The Metropolitan Society of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapists

Invite you to a Scientific Meeting: Friday, October 20, 2017 – 7:30 PM
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.
