The seminar below will meet at Stanford in the Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Building at 401 Quarry Road in Room 3200 (third floor).

Course Description:
Adolescent patients can place tremendous demands on the clinician's ability to maintain a reflective stance. This seminar focuses on how the therapist's receptivity and capacity for containment can help create a therapeutic space for these young patients to risk the deeply emotional experience of analytic therapy. Integrating theory with practice, we will focus on clinical material showing how to establish effective treatment during this crucial and compelling transitional phase of development. 

Instructor:
Michael Loughran, Ph.D., Member and Faculty, SFCP; Faculty, PAPPTP; Adjunct Clinical Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, Stanford University School of Medicine; Private Practice, Palo Alto.
