Observing Transformations in Psychoanalysis
A group of 14 psychoanalysts will use a brief history and verbatim material prepared by a presenting analyst from the opening sessions and from two later points in a psychoanalysis. Using the model’s format and questions as a basis for discussion of the clinical material, transformations in the patient’s psychic functioning and in the analytic process are observed. The Three Level Model allows psychoanalysts to identify more precisely what changes have, and have not (or not yet) occurred. The workshop creates a space to share theoretical approaches in a respectful way that provides the opportunity for the clarification of concepts through reference to the shared clinical material, while observing change and no change, and the nature of the therapeutic action.
