Jackie Gotthold, PsyD and Shelley Doctors, PhD find that treatment is more effective when elements of spontaneity, openness and authenticity emerge. In their talks they will address the developmental conceptualizations that may help clinicians to make such therapeutically successful connections with patients. The discussion following their presentations will highlight how Gotthold and Doctors are speaking of the challenge all of us face in striving for greater authenticity in the therapy session while still maintaining a disciplined clinical/theoretical stance: spontaneity does not equal wildness.
While this program focuses on the adolescent population, clinicians who treat adults can benefit equally: openness to interaction is also a fundamental building block for engagement with adults.
At the conclusion of this program, participants will be able to:
- Summarize the concept of “conflict” in adolescence, including the dimensions of separation, attachment, cognition, reflective thinking and social integration.
- Apply the contemporary psychoanalytic approach in a discussion of case material, demonstrating consideration of the adolescent’s and the analyst’s relational ”conflicts.”
- Explain the benefits of an expansive and integrative contemporary psychoanalytic approach to adolescent treatment, including a respect for developmental tasks of adolescence such as the dawning of reflective thinking and the expansion of the adolescent’s relational world.
- Articulate ways to effectively and responsibly nurture therapeutic spontaneity, openness, and authenticity in one’s practice.
This conference is appropriate for clinicians at all levels of experience.
