Abstract:
This mid-year conference, presented by our Viennese colleagues, explores the significance and impact of therapists’ selfobject needs in the therapeutic process. Drawing on personal clinical experience and grounded in the theoretical contributions of Kohut, Stolorow, Atwood, and Jaenicke, we examine how the therapist’s subjectivity and narcissistic needs inevitably participate in and co-construct the therapeutic relationship.
The overarching theme for the year is race and its intersecting variables. We will share the specific topics for each session on the community board closer to the time.
Time:
4:00pm - 5:30pm South Africa time (10:00am New York / 9:00am Chicago / 7:00am Los Angeles / 4:00pm Western Europe / 5:00pm Tel Aviv / 5:00pm Ankara / 10:00pm Shanghai / 11:00pm Tokyo / 12:00am+1 Sydney) more info...
