Case Presentation: Aging out of Foster Care, Issues and Technique
The case includes clinical issues concerning emancipation, attachment, and later adolescence, among others. Case conferences can often highlight difficult clinical technical challenges regarding interpretations and interventions, in addition to an understanding of unconscious material. These and other psychoanalytic concepts, such as the handling of the transference, will stimulate interesting dialogue.

Tasks of Adolescence
Integrating new wishes and capacities into an emerging sense of self, separating from internalized parents from childhood while still needing secure attachment, working with contradictory wishes to grow up and to stay a child -- all this accounts for the turmoil that is normal for all adolescents and a source of struggle and impasse for some. This presentation will explore the tasks central to adolescent stage development, and the implications of this understanding for guiding parents and therapists in their efforts to sponsor or guide adolescents, especially those at risk, through this critical passage between childhood and adulthood. Core concepts from the psychoanalytic approach to treating adolescents such as analytic neutrality, interpreting resistance, and working with the transference-countertransference interplay, will be examined for their utility in creating therapeutic space and expanding adolescents' abilities to reflect on emotional experience.
Presenter: Michael Loughran, Ph.D.
Michael Loughran, Ph.D. , Member and faculty of SFCP; Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Stanford, where he teaches psychoanalytic treatment and theories of development; faculty at the Stanford University Center for Adolescence; published in the area of the psychoanalytic treatment of adolescents; Private practice in Palo Alto.
