About This Event
Description: This group will create a space for licensed psychodynamic (or those interested in psychodynamic/psychoanalytic theory) child & adolescent therapists to discuss clinical experiences as well as occasional reading material focusing on psychotherapy with children and adolescents. Our primary aim is supporting and making sense of the unique and challenging aspects of child and adolescent psychotherapy from a psychodynamic perspective. Among the topics to be discussed are: psychodynamic assessment; working with parents/caregivers; play therapy; challenging cases; and, the specialness of adolescents.
Goal:
Generate a supportive, collaborative, and informative discussion group for exploring and engaging the unique aspects of working with children and adolescents from a psychodynamic perspective.
Ojectives:
1. Learn different psychodynamic theoretical perspectives on practicing with children and adolescents (e.g. Anna Freud, Melanie Klein, Donald Winnicott, and Relational theory).
2. Explore, identify, and make therapeutic use of personal responses to child and adolescent patients, as well as important others in their lives (countertransference).
3. Learn psychodynamic forms of assessment and intervention (e.g. development, support, play, reverie, containment, interpretation – if/when/why/how, and work with important others).
4. Learn unique aspects of working with adolescents (e.g. uneven brain, importance of peers, sex, identity development, and pressure and loss in becoming an adult).
