Course Description:
In this presentation, we will consider the importance of an outside observer in clinical work after the end of formal training. This includes but is not limited to the importance of peer supervision, supervision groups where cases can be shared confidentially, and other forms of clinical consultation.
We are all at times “blind” to some aspect of ourselves, which we are made aware of during training, and must continue to be addressed after training, though this has received significantly less attention. While Transference- countertransference issues are the clearest example, but there are other ways interference can occur, which we will also consider, including how the patient-analyst match can facilitate or impede a treatment’s progress.
Learning Objectives:
Participants will be able to articulate the need and importance of an outside clinical observer in post-training clinical work.
Participants will be able to identify opportunities in their own practices where they can receive peer supervision or other support from an outside observer.
