Join us in this all-level study group as we utilize Nancy McWilliams’ text, Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, as a guide to exploring the defining and distinguishing features of a psychoanalytic approach. Through reading and discussion, we will discuss some of the values and assumptions associated with a psychoanalytic sensibility, examine key considerations such as therapeutic frame and boundaries, and explore the “how” of basic psychoanalytic psychotherapy processes. Case material from the text and from group participants will help us bring these ideas to life. We will also consider the experience of the therapist in this modality, including the gratifications and challenges that come along with our work. Participants need a copy of the book: McWilliams, N. (2004). Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy: A Practitioner’s Guide (Guilford Press).
OBJECTIVES
1a) Name three features of psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
1b) Explain the relationship between psychoanalytic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis.
2a) Identify how “use of the self” enriches and complicates psychoanalytic supervision.
2b) Describe two essential aspects of preparing a patient for psychoanalytic therapy.
3a) Describe some important aspects of the therapeutic frame.
3b) Discuss a situation in which it could be therapeutic to deviate from the treatment frame.
4a) Describe different forms of self-disclosure.
4b) Explain the relationship between enactments and boundaries.
5a) Identify three factors that affect the therapeutic style/tone of a given therapy session.
5b) Compare and contrast McWilliams’ changing therapeutic stance over the beginning, middle, and termination phases of treatment.
6a) List three “ancillary lessons” of psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
6b) List three “occupational hazards” of psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
