Saturday, February 28 - Clinical Workshop

Stephen Seligman, DMH, in conversation with case presentation from Laura Mackall, LCSW

11:00 AM–1:00 PM
In-Person at ICP
2 NYS CE Credit

What we think of as "clinical decisions"—whether routine, pressured, or uncertain-- may also be decisions about which of the potential characters in the patient's internal worlds are about to be played out. That is, that transference-countertransference processes are present in most clinical activity, even when what’s going on seems
ordinary. A case presentation will highlight how analysts and patients engage in these ongoing enactive processes in very brief time frames of seconds to minutes. This seminar will apply and elaborate the themes of the Friday evening lecture on microenactments and the internal world
