Hanna Segal reminds us that our counter-transference reactions can be our wisest guide or our worst enemy in our therapeutic work with others. Figuring out who’s who and what’s what is hard enough when working with individual patients but when working with couples – it often feels impossible. Janet Malcolm was wrong when she wrote that psychoanalysis was the impossible profession. Those of us who work with couples know that being a couple therapist is truly the impossible profession. Many have expressed the idea that our hidden mission is to cure our parents. If there’s some truth in this then it might help explain why working with couples is so hard and why it stirs such uncomfortable feelings in us: the room is filled with so many opportunities for complex and confusing counter-transference reactions.

The focus of this interactive workshop will be on us. In the spirit of understanding this tough work – I’ll show you mine if you’ll show me yours. Please bring clinical vignettes (especially those that are giving you the most trouble), and I will too. Together we will tease out what might be going on in the three-some of couple work and how we might creatively use our reactions/contributions to help couples learn from the experience, think a new thought, and mourn the past so as to allow them and us — “to turn ghosts into ancestors.”

The Baltimore Society for Psychoanalytic Studies is pleased to present: Working with Dreams – A Self Psychological Perspective

Elizabeth M. Carr, APRN, MSN, BC will present a contemporary self psychological model of dream analysis. In this approach, dreams are viewed as revealing (rather than disguising) unconscious organizing processes. Thus, dream images are viewed as potentially providing a sweeping view into a patient’s inner world including self and self-with-other representations, emerging analytic themes, and current state. The corresponding clinical approach focuses on exploring and amplifying the dreamer’s experience in the dream through exploring the affects, themes, and central story of the dream narrative. Theory will be interwoven with clinical process in the presentation and will include the fascinating topic of analysts dreaming about their patients.

Please visit our website to register, or for more information.

Conferences are held at the Sheppard Pratt Conference Center. Coffee and registration begins at 9:00 and the presentation begins at 9:30. 3 CEUs are available.

The Contemporary Psychoanalytic Couple and Family Therapy
Training Program
Washington Center for Psychoanalysis

Course Overview
This introductory experience is designed to expose clinicians already skilled in psychotherapy or psychoanalytic practice to work deeply with couples and families. It is also an opportunity for those skilled in working with couples and families in other theoretical modalities who want to explore a psychoanalytic approach. Each of the four classes contains a combined group discussion of a pre-circulated paper(s) followed by observing a taped interview of a family and a couple. Even if clinicians only want to focus on working with couples, seeing the projective process in observing a family taped interview strengthens learning for both modalities of therapy. The class size will be limited to foster discussion. Further training opportunities will also be addressed. This is a great opportunity to explore a way to consider expanding one’s expertise and practice.

Speaking to the inherent value enactments provide, Sandor Ferenczi once stated “You must catch your hare before you can cook him.” This seminar will explore why enactments are an inevitable result of being unbearably caught in “the grip of the field” until that field is destabilized by an unanticipated action. A relational perspective on the phenomena of enactments, and their powerful potential for moving the therapeutic process forward, will be explored using a variety of clinical vignettes and participant case examples.

Cost: Registration is free to Members, $20 for non-members
CEU\’s: Earns 3 CEU\’s for an additional $5.
