San Francisco Psychotherapy Forums 2011 - 2012

The Bay Area Psychotherapy Forums are monthly case conferences open to students and clinicians at all levels of experience interested in improving their ability to work psychoanalytically. Each month a psychotherapist presents a therapy case of particular interest or concern. A different analyst is invited to each forum to discuss how they listen to the case material, fostering a lively discussion with the audience. The clinician group that attends builds a networking base while welcoming new colleagues.

Attendees gain:

• Psychodynamic case formulation skills
• Exposure to different theories for conceptualizing psychopathology
• Improved abilities in listening for transference/countertransferene themes
• Approaches for therapeutic action and technique

The forum is free for SFCP members, candidates and community members. If you are not a current community member of SFCP you are very welcome to come and check out the forum. If you find that you wish to attend on a more regular basis, we ask that you consider becoming a member.

CME/CE is optional and offered at a charge of $10.00/hour for all SFCP members and $12.00/hour for non-members.

The forum is now offered in three Bay Area locations: San Francisco, East Bay and Peninsula.
