Perceiving, Intuiting and Comprehending Clinical Facts:
How the therapist attends to and makes sense of emotional complexity in the clinical encounter.

Peter Goldberg, Ph.D.
Saturday, March 8
9:30 am - 12:30 pm
Veteran's Memorial Theatre Club Room; Davis
3 CE & CME Credits
Fee(s): $45-$10

In the course of our psychoanalytic work, we are constantly using a variety of clinical models, implicit much of the time rather than clearly articulated, to guide our attention as we try to make sense of the emotional reality of the patient. Dr. Goldberg will focus on the kinds of models we typically employ, and the types of attention mobilized as we listen to and respond to our patients. The program will also examine the different modalities of the patient's mental functioning including, among others, repression, splitting, and dissociation that affect the way in which we are able to attend to clinical material.

Course Objectives: (1) Participants will examine the implicit theoretical models that guide their focus of attention and hence their apprehension of clinical data in the psychotherapy situation; (2)Utilizing an examination of clinical material, participants will learn how to recognize the effects on the therapist-patient interaction of different kinds of mental processes (e.g. repression, splitting, dissociation.); (3) Participants will examine examples of techniques to assist the therapist to be cognizant of the kind of attention paid to the patient's communications.
