ALVAREZ FOR GROWN-UPS. Anne Alvarez writes about clinical work with autistic children that we find extremely applicable to our work with adults. In this seminar we will read selections of Alvarez's writing and examine how her ideas add to and/or change many of the ways we think about our work and how we use ourselves clinically. We will especially focus on understanding her "levels of calibration," which helps us to assess what patients need and can use in their psychological work. We will further examine how her ideas challenge psychoanalytic meta-theory and clinical technique with reference to defense, containment, projection, omnipotence and destructiveness, and more. Alvarez's two seminal books, Live Company and The Thinking Heart, introduce a new emotion-filled language that describes critical analytic functions necessary to vitalizing and reclaiming an individual's lost or deadened aspects. The seminar will meet on Fridays from 2:00 to 3:30 in Berkeley, from October 9 to December 4, 2015.
