YEAR LONG PROGRAMS
» TERRIFYING TRANSFERENCE AND COUNTER-TRANSFERENCE: PRIMITIVE STATES IN THE CONSULTING ROOM
Perversion: Denial of Reality and Illusion of Self Sufficiency
We will discuss patients who are difficult to treat, with perverse defenses and states of excitement, distraction, and grandiosity, as well as sadomasochistic relations with others. Counter-transference experiences are important in working with these patients, and will be discussed in class.
Margot Chapin, M.F.T., Member, Faculty, SFCP.
Fridays, September 7, 14, 21, 28, October 5, 2007.
JFKU, 2956 San Pablo Avenue, 2nd Floor, Berkeley, CA; 12:00 noon – 1:30 p.m.

Recognizing, Understanding & Learning To Work With Counter-transference
Recognizing, understanding, and working with the counter-transference responses that severely disturbed patients bring up are essential tasks for clinicians doing psychoanalytic psychotherapy. We will review and discuss selected topics in counter-transference, with an emphasis on the technical implications of different theoretical perspectives, ranging from early, classical, to contemporary ones. Case presentations will be encouraged in order to illustrate, and to clarify how we can think about, and use counter-transference in our work.

Deciphering Counter Transference with Primitively Organized Patients
This class will focus on transference, and the experience and use of counter-transference, when working with primitively organized patients. We will discuss symbiosis, adhesive identification, and projective identification. We will read articles by Searles, Meltzer, Groddeck, and Boyer.
Sue von Baeyer, Ph.D. , Member & Faculty, SFCP.

Out of Illusion
The illusory state exists at the edge of reality and phantasy, at the border of self and other, both evoking and reinforcing a simultaneity of being, a happening that exceeds anything one might otherwise define as an event. Infant observational material will be used to explore such states, as well as the rigid defenses that get set in place in defense of such fluidity of mind.
Angela Sowa, Psy.D., Member, NCSPP, Faculty, Supervising and Personal Analyst, PINC.
Fridays, January 4, 11, 18, 25, February 1, 8, 2008.

On “Listening to the Music” with the Patient Who is Difficult to Reach
This course will explore both what can restrict our ability to listen to and understand our patients, as well as the ways in which we can work to facilitate contact by developing our capacity to think and to listen creatively. Readings from W.R. Bion, Harold Searles and David Rosenfeld will be used in addition to clinical material.
Georgine Marrott, Ph.D. , Member, Faculty, Training & Supervising Analyst, SFCP.

Counter-Transference Experiences in Therapeutic Regression
This course looks at the counter-transference phenomena encountered when dealing with regressed patients. Material is drawn from contemporary Kleinian and Independent British analysts, who have shown a willingness to analyze severely disturbed individuals.

Conceptualising Different 'Primitive' States as they Manifest Themselves in the Clinical Setting
Distinctions will be drawn between psychotic, autistic, dissociative, and narcissistic/addictive/perverse organizations, and their relative impact on the clinical encounter (i.e. on the quality of thinking, object relating, dream work, and psychosomatic self-regulation.)

» YEAR LONG CONTINUOUS CASE CONFERENCES: On Primitive Mental States in the Consulting Room

SATURDAY PANELS & SEMINARS
Reaching the Difficult Child
What states of mind characterize the child who can’t listen, focus, or play? How do we make contact with the disconnected elements of a child’s internal world and strengthen progressive development? We will look at disruptions in thinking, symbolization, and emotional development in children, and consider ways of reaching these difficult elements within children.
Ken Roberson, Ph.D., Advanced Candidate, SFCP.

De-Cathecting Libidinal Energy: A Holocaust Survivor Bears Witness
We will look at how Primo Levi, a survivor of Auschwitz, emerged from the primitive state of Häftling (prisoner) in a Nazi death camp at the end of World War II. Through his remarkable writing, first among the testimonials of the Holocaust, he joined the past with the present to create a vibrant and powerful memorial to remember and acknowledge the losses of the past.

Masochism: The Paradox of Invisible Shackles
This course will explore the inter-subjective manifestations of masochism. We will examine the interlocking transference/counter-transference dynamics which give rise to seemingly immutable struggles, and consider ways in which such impasses can be channeled in the analytic process.
