Groups
Case consultation and study group for clinicans
I have been leading a weekly clinical case consultation and study group for the past 10 years. Group members' clinical cases are presented and discussed with an emphasis on transference, counter-transference, unconscious communication, primitive mental and emotional states, dreams and fantasies, the effects of trauma, therapeutic impasses, and deepening the therapeutic relationship. I suggest relevant articles as they pertain to case material.
