Did Something Just Go South?

When the Patient Sounds More Defeated by the End of a Session.

Presented by Joan Lentz Ph.D, L.P., FABP

Understanding in the moment, by looking back…or do we just have to wait and see what happens next?

Saturday, April 13, 2024, 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Semple Mansion Carriage House, 104 West Franklin Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 55404

In this series, members of the MPSI Community will share clinical experiences that illustrate what can be learned when we look closely at the intimate encounter between therapist and patient.

Each presenter will have their own topic and approach. We may follow a single session in which the therapist is faced with an urgent situation and needs to decide what to do next. Or we may explore particular challenges such as an unexpected enactment, an affective storm, intense countertransference feelings, dealing with deadness or being stuck or situations where the treatment itself seems at risk of being destroyed. Each Clinical Moments presentation will include discussion and offer opportunities for attendees to share their thoughts and ideas.

Free for Members of MPSI

Event Limited to the First 50 Members
