Sometimes, unconscious sadistic and self-defeating forces can create a sinkhole in treatment with a nexus of common suffering in therapist and patient, often manifest as therapist inactivity and non-engagement. 

Therapists can get “stuck” for a number of reasons, but when sessions lose vitality more often than not, some form of renewal is called for.    

The Intensive Dynamic psychotherapy of Habib Davanloo can provide such a renewal with its classical psychoanalytic base melded to affective intensity and attachment psychology.  

This three-hour course looks at the psychodynamics of stuck places from a perspective of devitalization in transference and counter-transference. An extended videotape vignette will be used; participants are encouraged to discuss their own cases.  

 

Course Objectives:  

• Apply teachings of Frederickson, Racker, Bion, and   Davanloo to the untangling of “stuck places” in clinical practice  

• Analyze the contemporary applicability of delineating   superego pathology in re-engagement of “stuck” therapy  

•  Utilize specific techniques of emotional engagement to self-destructive patient/client resistances.  

Thomas Brod, M.D. is Associate Clinical Professor, Psychiatry, Geffen UCLA School of Medicine, faculty New Center for Psychoanalysis, and he is in private practice in West LA.
