The Baltimore Society for Psychoanalytic Studies Presents John Zinner, M.D.:
Demystifying Projective Identification: A Videotaped Consultation with the Family of a Sexually Abused Pre-adolescent Boy
Projective Identification is a profoundly important bridge between intrapsychic and interpersonal phenomena. Nevertheless, many clinicians remain unnecessarily puzzled by the concept and its mode of operation. This videotaped family session will provide a vivid demonstration of projective identification, how it is manifested in the clinical situation, and how the therapist may intervene in a family to transform blame into empathy.
The Presenter, Dr. John Zinner is a psychoanalyst, as well as a family and couple therapist. His ideas, writings and teaching evolved from his research at NIMH into the impact of family interaction on adolescent development. As a clinical professor, he teaches psychoanalytic psychotherapy at the George Washington University Medical Center and at the Washington School of Psychiatry. He is a Teaching Analyst at the Washington Psychoanalytic Institute, and also provides training in family and couple therapy at the Washington Center for Psychoanalysis.
