Curious about psychoanalytic training? Attend the Washington Psychoanalytic Institute Open House on November 8th. See attached notice for time and place. This post was submitted by RSorensen. WSPP is offering a 3-Session Course on Friday Mornings - October 23, 30 and November 6, 2009, 9:30am-12:30pm A few years ago, Judy Rovner offered a short course for WSPP in Contemporary Kleinian Theory and Technique. It was a small, intimate seminar with a lot of opportunity for rich clinical dialogue. The seminar was so worthwhile for participants, that WSPP asked Judy to return to teach some further Contemporary Kleinian topics. This is a wonderful opportunity to explore how clinically useful these concepts are. The course will be limited to 10 participants. We have a few openings left. Registration: $185 for WSPP members; $275 for non-members. (Non-members are invited to join WSPP for $60.00 and save on registration.) This course earns 9 CEU’s which are included in the price.

The Washington School of PsychiatrypresentsEvolving Subjectivity: Relational Theory in Group PsychotherapyPresenter: Robert Grossmark, Ph.D.Friday & Saturday, October 2 & 3, 2009Friday, 9:30 AM–6:30 PMSaturday, 9:30 AM–6:30 PM This two-day conference will present an application of relational theory to group therapy work, using didactic and experiential methods. A combination of lectures, discussions, demonstration groups, and participatory groups will provide a comprehensive presentation of the theory and practice.
WHO SHOULD ATTENDAny mental health clinician interested in relational theory and its clinical application may attend. It is not necessary to be conducting groups in order to benefit from this conference, though the discussions will be geared to the theory’s efficacy in group work.
OBJECTIVESParticipants will be able to: 1. Describe some unique aspects of a relational approach to group therapy, such as the concepts of multiplicity and mutuality. 2. Apply these concepts to situations in clinical practice. 3. Recognize the differences between the two-person psychology of the relational approach and the one-person psychology of some more traditional psychoanalytic approaches. PRESENTERRobert Grossmark, Ph.D. is a psychoanalyst in private practice in New York City. He teaches/supervises at several post-graduate institutes in New York, and has published in many psychoanalytic journals. He was the winner of the 2008 Alonso Prize for Excellence in Group Psychotherapy, awarded by the American Group Psychotherapy Association, for his article, The Edge of Chaos: Enactment Disruption and Emergence in Group Psychotherapy. Dr. Grossmark is one of the few relational theorist who has applied relational concepts to group psychotherapy.

There are still openings for the Fall 2009Intensive Short Term Dynamic Psychotherapy Training ProgramJon Frederickson, MSW, Co-Chair Barbara Suter, Ph.D., Co-chair Intensive Short Term Dynamic Psychotherapy is designed to achieve long term structural character change in briefer periods than with traditional psychodynamic therapy. Based on psychodynamic theory, it uses active techniques designed to focus, clarify, and intensify the therapeutic process. This model of treatment was first developed by Habib Davanloo. Davanloo recognized that rapid character change could take place through helping the patient relinquish defenses against emotional experience. He accomplished this through a method of handling resistance and transference which mobilizes the patient’s unconscious therapeutic alliance. As a result, the patient reveals the core emotions and conflicts which have been responsible for character problems. This model of treatment has shown excellent results with a broad range of patients in numerous psychotherapy studies over the past 35 years. In addition to the work of Davanloo, this program introduces students to recent contributions to this technique. Students will also study work on defense restructuring (Patricia Coughlin), attachment theory based ISTDP (Rob Neborsky), work with fragile patients (Allan Abbass), mindfulness based ISTDP (Allen Kalpin), mobilizing ego capacity (Josette ten Have de Labije), work with projection (Kees Cornellisen), radical empathy (Diana Fosha), and other subjects as well. This course will focus on relational and experiential techniques for deepening the therapeutic relationship by facilitating the experience and working through of core affects. When patients can afford only a time-limited treatment, therapists must be even more skilled, rapid, and effective. We will teach those clinical skills in this program. Students learn how to help patients relinquish defenses in order to face feelings they previously avoided. You will also learn how to recognize pathways of unconscious anxiety discharge in the body so as to help patients better regulate their anxiety. You will also learn how to use “radical empathy” in order to better connect to the patient emotionally. You will learn how to help patients turn against ego syntonic defenses. Whether you do primarily long term or short term psychotherapy, the skills you learn in this course will deepen and accelerate your work with all of your patients. Whatever theoretical orientation you use, the course will increase your skills for intensive therapy. FormatThis is a three year program which leads to a certificate and graduation. However, you can take one semester, one year, two years, or three years of the program. The ISTDP training for the first year of the program is organized in two hour classes. The first hour is a theoretical presentation; the second hour uses videotaped therapy sessions to illustrate the theory and to develop your clinical skills. It is our intent to demonstrate everything we teach with videotaped examples drawn from our own work. Classes for first year students meet Fridays in the late afternoons, ten sessions a semester. CurriculumFirst Year, First SemesterBasic principles of theory and technique in ISTDP: the triangle of conflict, regulation of anxiety, unconscious pathways of anxiety discharge, restructuring of defenses, therapeutic alliance—conscious and unconscious, resistance, transference. First Year, Second SemesterWorking through the central dynamic sequence of psychotherapy–beginning with a patient, psychodiagnosis of fragility and depression, working with superego pathology, resistance against emotional closeness, deactivating malignant transferences and an introduction to a variant of ISTDP, Diana Fosha’s AEDP. SupervisionOptional small group and individual supervision can be set up as needed. Educational ObjectivesFirst Year· Recognize the triangle of conflict and how to use it to obtain character change quickly · Recognize the pathways of unconscious anxiety discharge and learn how to regulate the patient’s anxiety · Learn to recognize, clarify, and confront defenses, and how to transform them from syntonic to ego dystonic · Learn to help patients face feelings without anxiety or defenses interfering · Learn how to mobilize the therapeutic alliance EligibilityGeneral guidelines: · A graduate degree in social work, psychology, psychiatry, psychiatric nursing, counseling, or related clinical fields · Experience conducting psychotherapy · Personal psychodynamic psychotherapy · A solid grounding in psychodynamic psychotherapy
