The Study of a Chronically Homeless Mentally Ill Woman: The Use of Empathic Attunement and Positive Selfobject Transference to Facilitate Successful Transition out of Homelessness
Daniel Farrell, LMSW

2 Hours: One 2 hour session

This program has been approved by NASW- New York State for 2 contact hours under approval S-439-D.

The life of a person who is chronically homeless may serve a variety of organizing and cohesive functions in the service of self preservation. People who are chronically homeless have been able to carve out an existence, and, at times, feel empowered by their life on the street or in a homeless shelter setting, thus successfully adapting to a state of homelessness. The case of Ms. Z illuminates her successful adaptation of homelessness for over 20 years. Once her experiences were understood and validated as her unique ontological truth, she began to allow the development of a positive selfobject transference, which ultimately facilitated an end to her life in homelessness.

Empathy in an Unempathic World: Self Psychology in Light of New Selfobject Discoveries
Instructor: David MacIsaac, PhD, ABPP

6 Hours: Four 90 minute sessions

This program has been approved for 6 hours of continuing education under the auspices of the New Jersey State Board of Social Work Examiners.

In this managed care, fast-paced and instant cure environment, do we have time for empathy and the gradual development that accrues from such a treatment approach? Come and have a glimpse of Self Psychology, one of the most significant analytic developments since Freud. Learn why empathy is such a radical perspective in understanding and explaining our patient's inner life. Find out why the theory of the self accords so accurately with human experience. Finally, learn about the undifferentiated selfobject transference, a new finding of Crayton Rowe that seamlessly complements Kohut's original theory of the self and offers a breakthrough in our understanding of eating disorders, addictions, suicide, OCD and hyperactivity.

David MacIsaac, PhD, ABPP Co-Director, The New York Institute for Psychoanalytic Self Psychology; Co-author, Empathic Attunement: The Technique of Psychoanalytic Self Psychology; private practice, Englewood, NJ.

Into the Wild: A Self Psychological Journey
Joanne Yurman, PhD

2 Hours: One 2 hour session

This program has been approved by NASW- New York State for 2 contact hours under approval S-439-C.

The book, Into the Wild, by Jonathon Krakauer, and the eponymous movie, have captured the public imagination with a story of a search for adventure and transcendence, ending in tragedy. The themes it embodies are illuminated by self psychological concepts, particularly the undifferentiated self object experience described by Crayton Rowe, MSW. This experience of anticipating unknown happenings yet to come is vitalizing and common to us all. This presentation will explore Chris McCandless' use of the undifferentiated self object experience to sustain himself in the face of developmental deprivation.

Joanne Yurman, PhD NYIPSP Board, Faculty, Supervisor; Graduate, NYU Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis; private practice, Lenox, MA and New York, NY.

Applying Kohut's Major Contributions to the Treatment of Parents and Children
Joanna Hulton, PhD

2 Hours: One 2 hour session

This program has been approved for 2 hours of continuing education under the auspices of the New Jersey State Board of Social Work Examiners.

We will continue the conversation begun in the Fall '09 Workshop - demonstrating how a parent is helped to understand their child from a self psychological perspective and the insights than an adult can gain into their own childhood via the parent-child interactions. The selfobject experiences needed for healthy development will be explored. Returning participants are invited to bring in case vignettes that will be used to illustrate how a parent's unmet needs can distort the child's experience of their own needs. Participants will learn how this clinical approach encourages treatment outcomes that benefit both parent and child.
