Program Description: I will lead a discussion of analytic ethos, \a practice based on ethics before theory and technique. I will present my ethical commitments and how they show up in my work. These ethical commitments form the bedrock of my way of being with patients, especially during times of interpersonal stress, uncertainty, and confusion. I will share clinical examples. I hope the group will engage with the question of analytic ethics by offering their own personal reflections, commitments, and clinical examples.
Learning Objectives:
1) Participants will learn various ethical approaches and their application to clinical work
2) Participants will discover and clarify their basic unconscious assumptions of therapeutic action
