  • Conference

$55.00
AbstractExploration of fantasy has been a neglected aspect of psychotherapy outside the purview of psychoanalysis. However, work with fantasies can be a deep and rich addition to therapy. Adaptive fantasies can provide wonderful, creative escapes from reality that resource and inspire us, enriching our lives, and clarifying our future actions. They can provide alternative explorations of secure attachment and healing that support relationships. However, they may also reflect social denial of trauma, fostering a world view that is not adaptive.

This two-day virtual seminar will challenge the either/or qualities of many trauma-relevant approaches and paradigms and demonstrate how psychoanalytic perspectives can enrich and empower our therapeutic efforts. We will explore the constructive perspectives that emerge from an alternative both/and stance, choosing to understand, reconcile, and work around differences, permitting clinicians to mobilize the power of divergent models and contributions on behalf of the therapeutic needs of individual patients.

Between Pleasure, Destruction and Protection: Instinct Theories in Treating Trauma and Dissociation
  • Intermediate

$55.00
AbstractFreud’s theory of instincts and attachment theory are often perceived as oppositional approaches. Most crucially, the two theories differ on the question of whether trauma originates from inside the psyche, as a product of internal conflict between innate instincts (psychoanalysis), or is a result of external assault from which the person was not adequately protected by another person (attachment theory). For clinicians and researchers in the field of trauma and dissociation, such disagreement can appear completely unbridgeable.

Dissociative Attunement: Being in Rhythm With Individuals Experiencing Complex PTSD
  • Conference
  • Intermediate
  • 1.50 ISSTD Certificate Program
$55.00
Abstract: Psychotherapeutic work with individuals who experience dissociated self-states is challenging and often confusing. Both stabilization and healing can be facilitated by attunement in the therapeutic relationship. Attunement emerges from the therapeutic process. Attuned therapists are like tuning forks that resonate with client/patient shifting states. This shifting attunement is not always noticed and often not well understood.
