Course Title: Principles of Psychoanalytic Technique
Dates: Wednesday evenings 7:30 – 9:00, October 1, 8, 15, 22, 2008
Description: In this course we will look at the thinking underlying psychoanalytic technique, how technique has developed over time, the relation between theory and practice, components of classical technique, and more contemporary views of psychoanalytic practice. Some of the key concepts we will study are resistance, transference, unconscious motivation, defense analysis, the analytic attitude, the principle of uncovering, enactments, and the use of counter-transference. The best way to understand how principles of technique work is to see these principles in action. Clinical material will be used to illustrate the concepts we will be studying. Discussion of cases of class participants and how they exemplify aspects of psychoanalytic technique is encouraged

Course Title: Countertransference: Mirror into the Clinical Encounter
Dates: Wednesday evenings, 7:30-9:00, November 12,19, December 3, 10 2008
Description: How do we make sense of the varied, complex and sometimes troubling feelings that our patients invoke in us? This course will provide a psychoanalytic framework for thinking about these responses in the therapist. We will explore the evolution of the concept of countertransference in psychoanalytic theory from different theoretical perspectives. Concepts such as role responsiveness, projective identification and enactment have furthered our understanding of countertransference. Clinical material provided by the instructor will be used to illustrate these ideas and students will be encouraged to bring in material from their own work.

Course Title: Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy with Gay Men
Dates: Wednesday evenings 7:30 – 9:00, March 4, 11,18, 25, 2009
Description: This seminar will present a contemporary psychoanalytic perspective for working with gay men in psychotherapy. The essentialist perspective on gender identity and sexual orientation inherent in traditional psychoanalytic theory will be critiqued. Recent psychoanalytic contributions addressing gay male experiences will also be reviewed, with an emphasis on highlighting important developmental milestones. The implications of psychoanalytic theory for gay patients will be examined in the literature and through clinical illustrations. Participants will be encouraged to share material from their own cases.
Instructor: Gary Grossman, Ph.D. Member and Faculty, San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis; Private practice, San Francisco. (415) 928-4662 / gary.grossman@ucsf.edu
Course Title: Promoting Depth in Psychotherapy: Case Conference Focusing on Transference, Countertransference and Analytic Process
Dates: Wednesday evenings, April 8,15, 22, 29, 2009
This course is offered to help students develop skills in thinking and functioning psychoanalytically to promote depth in their treatments regardless of frequency of meetings or level of disturbance or type of population of their patients. In the context of a collaborative and supportive environment, we will listen to one or two students’ case presentations with an eye to thinking together about how to listen analytically, work with countertransference, conceptualize transference, and think practically about how to intervene to deepen the treatment.
