This course will be a consideration of the central role of relatedness in psychoanalytic therapeutic models, and an introduction to key theoretical concepts concerning the clinical relationship. While clinical psychoanalysis has focused primarily on the therapeutic pair, we will include other relevant relationships in our consideration, including organizational relationships and relationships to the social surrounding, among others. Students will be encouraged to bring in vignettes from their work for our discussion.
Educational Objectives:
Upon completion of this activity, the learners will be able to:
- describe the relevant axes of relationship operant in any specific clinical situation, including those on sociopolitical and organizational levels.
- explain the links between the perceived transference/countertransference in the therapeutic relationship, the socio-political assumptions, and the client’s presenting problem and nature of their suffering.
- describe how they can apply their understanding of the nature and importance of Relatedness to their clinical work, and describe ways to improve clinical support within their agency structure.
