You may register for this event at the door. Course Description This seminar is designed as an overview of child psychotherapy vis-a-vis the dual focus on child and parent. We will use many of the concepts presented in Jack and Kerry Kelly Novicks excellent book, Working with Parents Makes Therapy Work (Rowman & Littlefield, 2005). We will address the difficult issues with which child therapists struggle. How do we best create an optimal environment for a working alliance with the child and the parents? How do we attend to the interplay between the child's inner world and the physical world in which he or she lives? How does the therapist work within the existence of two overlapping universes, the ideal and the real? And how do we modulate our omnipotent fantasies of intervention? Participants cases and quandaries are welcomed. Course Objectives Participants will be able to describe the means to a good working alliance with parents. Participants will be able to list some omnipotent and/or grandiose interventions which address unconscious fantasies underlying work with children. Participants will be able to analyze and compare the beginning, middle and termination phases of work with parents.
