In this advanced level presentation, I describe the treatment of a suicidally depressed middle-aged man. It was an unusual case in which I accompanied the patient to London to see a production of Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials at the National Theater. The literary trilogy that was adapted for the stage had become a vital touchstone for our therapeutic work. Time permitting, I will discuss the audience members' reactions to this case when it was presented as the Keynote speech at the annual meeting of the International Association for Psychoanalytic Self Psychology in Chicago.
OBJECTIVES
- Provide an expanded explanation of what is meant by a therapeutic relationship, and how this contrasts with classical definitions.
- Compare and contrast classical and expanded meanings of boundaries in psychotherapy.
- Give a case example that demonstrates an expanded understanding of therapeutic creativity.
