Alexander, Ph.D. CE: 3 CE Credits Location: Center for Healthy Development, 100 N. Winchester Blvd. Santa Clara Date: Saturday, April 3, 2010 Time: 10:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. Fees: $30 - $70 * Course Description In this seminar, we will approach some of the difficulties with which the clinician is presented in encounters with disturbed adolescents with a series of questions in mind: How does one orient oneself in the press of intense aggressive energy from an adolescent patient? What information from the field of here-and-now interaction, especially the play of transference/ countertransference, can be used to guide the clinicians thinking? What types of interventions, apart from interpretation, are useful in responding to affectively over-stimulated, internally dis-contained adolescents? How does one distinguish a destructive attack from a generative bid to seek containment in an aggressive interaction? We will consider these questions in the context of a variety of settings as well as various modalities of treatment. Participants are encouraged to bring examples of their own work for discussion. Course Objectives Describe difficulties in treating disturbed adolescence. Discuss usefulness of non-interpretive interventions in response to overly stimulated and dis-contained adolescence. Distinguish a destructive attack from a generative quest for containment. Recognize that aggression exists within the relational/interactional field About Dr. Alexander Paul U.
