Before Analysis Can Begin: Treating Pre-Analytic Patients

Sunday, April 27^th, 2014,12pm-2pm

Patients often enter treatment with real problems but little if any interest in free-associating. They seek relief from their psychic suffering but for some, years may pass before they become curious and strong enough to explore their unconscious for the underlying motivations of their behaviors. In this seminar we will explore what helps pre-analytic patients to stay in treatment and begin a psychoanalysis. Presentation will be followed by refreshments and a social gathering.
