PROGRAM
In the seminar, with mutual sharing, we will explore the traditional psychoanalytic frame, what works, what doesn't. We will find ways to work within a frame, mutually created by therapist and patient, individually for each patient. Not one size frame fits all.
Betsy Cohen has been in private practice 45 years and has a wealth of experience and knowledge to share. She has found a way to help patients not previously held in mind, people whose parents neglected them, who feel very unworthy, that they don't matter. From a strict psychoanalytic training, through becoming a Jungian analyst, to contemporary relational analysis, Dr. Cohen has learned to be as present as possible, as a full human being, with her patients. Her Sanville Institute education helped her with confidence and illumination of her previous learning.
Betsy will review the history of the concept of “the frame in psychoanalysis.” She will discuss and give illustrations of where it is functional and how it can be destructive. Betsy is a dynamic presenter. The subject of the “psychoanalytic frame,” is one that generates anxiety and self-doubt among most practitioners who are flexible. This presentation promises to be open, lively, stimulating and will help you question how you formed your idea of the therapeutic frame, and whether you are helping all your patients in the best way you can.
