The American Association for Psychoanalysis in Clinical Social Work in joint sponsorship with The Sanville Institute and the California Society for Clinical Social Work
This seminar will continue an evocative presentation and discussion of the “frame” by Dr. Betsy Cohen. She will review the concept of the “frame in psychoanalysis,” adding where it is functional or hurtful. The discussion will focus primarily on case material presented from participants. We will deepen our understanding of our own work, while strengthening understanding of the complexity and challenges we deal with daily.
Dr. Cohen notes that the frame is mutually created by the therapist and patient and is unique to each therapy. Not one size frame fits all. She evolved a way to help people not previously considered or held in mind by a parent, people who suffer from the profound on-going ramifications of parental and/or societal neglect and abuse. These patients can be the most challenging, often testing the frame, generating self-doubt and anxiety among practitioners.
Participants in this seminar will receive a copy of Betsy’s paper beforehand. This seminar promises to be lively and stimulating and useful to therapists in a variety of settings and will help clarify some of your own concerns. Please join us even if you have missed the first presentation. Your participation is central to providing vitality and support to the group.
