In this workshop, participants will learn to write richer, more accessible, and creative clinical narratives, including vignettes, case studies, and clinical papers. We will explore how clinical writing can more faithfully capture the depth and breadth of the emotional life of psychoanalytic treatments. An important aim will be to open our writing up not only to the subjectivity of the patient but also to that of the psychoanalyst or psychotherapist as both unfold in the clinical process. Through writing exercises, participants will write their own clinical narratives, with a focus on expanding the parameters of traditional clinical writing.
