Paul Russell once wrote, “There is no real treatment process that does not include some piece of therapy for the therapist.” Much of Russell’s work presages core aspects of the Relational Perspective’s focus on co-creation and the therapeutic use of enactments. This program will explore complicated treatment impasses and/or ruptures and the important role both patient and therapist have in co-creating this ride. Dr. Pinney will illustrate these concepts with a case presentation of a long-term, three-times-weekly psychotherapy that presented significant challenges to both the patient and the therapist.

Registration: Free for WSPP members; $20 for non-members. (Non-members are invited to join WSPP for $60.00 and save on registration.) This workshop earns 3 Continuing Education credits (sponsored by the APA)- for an additional cost of $10.

“The Spider Who Was a Poem:  The Nature of Poetry and Its Healing Power”

with Salman Akhtar, MD

8 PM – 9:30 PM

Residence Inn Pentagon City, 550 Army Navy Drive, Arlington, VA 22202

There is NO FEE for this event, but you are asked to Register at www.wcpweb.org

Poetry is a bridge between known and unknown, between verbal and nonverbal, between intellect and emotion, between music and prose, between mother and father, between male and female, between right brain and left brain, and between reality and unreality.  Each of its meta- constituent acknowledges and denies the dualism that lies at the core of separateness-merger conundrum of human existence.  And, it is this bridging function of poetry that imparts the “craft of verse” its healing power.

1.5 CME/CE credits are being offered.  Please see information at registration site.

10:00 a.m. – 1:00 a.m. Presentation
Sheppard Pratt Conference Center
6501 N. Charles Street
Baltimore, MD 21285

Program Description:
This presentation describes the evidence from psychoanalysis, developmental theory, field theory, neuroscience and chaos theory that the unconscious is fundamentally an interpersonal creation, is expressed interpersonally, and is accessible in treatment through the interpersonal therapeutic relationship. This formulation will be illustrated in examples from individual and family therapy, and with a videotape of a family assessment. There will be ample time for discussion of the concepts and their application.

About the speaker:

Scharff, M.D. is Co-director, International Psychotherapy Institute, Vice-President, International Association for Couple and Family Psychoanalysis, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences and Georgetown University, Teaching Analyst, Washington Psychoanalytic Institute, former president, American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors and Therapists, and member, American and International Psychoanalytic Associations.

Objectives:
At the end of the program:
1. Participants will be able to describe the elements of interpersonal contribution to the construction and operation of the unconscious
2. Participants will operationalize the application of these ideas to the clinical situation and to the use of transference and countertransference in therapy.

Who Should Attend?
Mental health professionals (psychiatrists, psychologists, clinical social workers, licensed professional counselors, pastoral counselors) and persons with an interest in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic thinking and application.

CE Credits:
CE credits are granted to participants with documented attendance and completed evaluation forms. Attendance is monitored. Credit will not be granted to registrants who arrive late, or depart early.
