Symbol Formation and Therapeutic Action: Discovering the symbols in your patient's material

  • to

United States

Sponsored by:

Our goal as depth psychotherapy practitioners is to help clients bring unconscious material into conscious awareness. Because unconscious material is always in symbolic form, it is essential that we are able to perceive what seems to be concrete in our client's narrative as symbolic. It's not always an easy task! This study group is an opportunity for us to not only expand our theoretical understanding of symbolic formation, but also practice interpreting the concrete into the symbolic. We will be reading Winnicott, Segal, and Lacan. Bring your cases to this interactive learning experience.
