Seminar: Familial Dynamics and Roles in the Group Setting

Leslie Rosenthal, Ph.D.

Amidst the stresses, strains, and emotional current of family living, members assume or have foisted upon them various roles, such as mother’s or father’s helper, mediator, isolate, instigator, scapegoat, rebel, and monopolizer.  In group analysis, these roles are enacted as resistances.  This seminar will address the ways in which these resistances affect the group and will offer approaches to their management and resolution.

Seminar: The Myth of Individual Psychoanalysis

Shirley B. Love, Ph.D.

Psychoanalysts are inevitably family therapists.  In treatment, individual patients reveal—verbally, behaviorally, and transferentially—their preoedipal and oedipal ties to their families of origin, and often request that family members and spouses participate more actively in their therapy.  When they do so, analysts have an opportunity to study family dynamics directly and to gain more dramatic insight into the patient’s maladaptive defenses of projection and externalization.  In both family and couples settings, analysts can alter the dysfunctional homeostasis with appropriate interventions.  This seminar will explore the use of therapeutic joining of the patient’s resistances in this wider family context.   

3:30-5:00pm
