Oakland. 16 week commitment. $800. Annie Sweetnam, Ph.D (510) 531-5212. Anniesweetnam@sbcglobal.net

Annie Sweetnam, Ph.D (510) 531-5212. Anniesweetnam@sbcglobal.net
ON-GOING WEEKLY PSYCHOANALYTIC STUDY GROUP. Through reading and case presentations, we will address working with patients experiencing primitive anxieties, focusing on effectively using our own reverie and countertransference to discover the moments of alive contact in our work. Meets Thursdays 10:15-11:45AM. $45/meeting. Contact Dori Dubin, PsyD at (510) 547-2522 or ddubinpsyd@comcast.net.
