Have Compassion for Everyone You Meet: Music as a Medium of Relational Intimacy

Thomas Hoffman, M.D.

The Psychodynamics of Performance Anxiety: Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy in the Treatment of Social Anxiety Disorder

Jeffrey Jay, Ph.D.

Whatever Happened To The Moral Dimensions of Psychological Trauma?

Saturday, January 28, 2017            Silver Spring Civic Building at Veterans Plaza
Registration: 8:30-9am                      One Veterans Place
Program: 9:00am-12:30pm               Silver Spring, MD 20910

Although the topics of the three presentations are unrelated, at the same time each presenter will help us think about how we decide what we do as therapists, and what we choose to bring into the therapy room when we are with our patients. We will think about relational intimacy, and how knowing and being known sometimes takes more than just words. We will think about empathy, and when a self psychological approach might or might not be useful for a patient with performance anxiety. And we will think about working with trauma victims, and the idea that including the moral dimension could provide a more hopeful outcome.

At the conclusion of this program, participants will be able to:

  1. Describe how music can be used to share a patient’s inner world, foster mutual recognition and help the clinical pair recover from interpersonal conflicts and disruptions.
  2. Discuss the multi-determined genesis of Performance Anxiety and why psychodynamic therapy, including treatment using a self-psychology perspective, may be indicated.
  3. Describe how moral dimensions of trauma, including a sense of moral responsibility, may contribute to PTSD and may change the patient’s response to trauma.

This conference is appropriate for clinicians at all levels of experience and
offers 3 CE credits.
