11th ANNUAL PSYCHOANALYTIC COUPLE PSYCHOTHERAPY EVENT

Join NCSPP and the Psychoanalytic Couple Psychotherapy Group for the 11th Annual Psychoanalytic Couple Psychotherapy Lecture with David Hewison of Tavistock Relationships. Dr. Hewison will highlight Winnicott's and Bollas’ rich contributions to psychoanalysis and elaborate his own view on how these ideas can be creatively applied to understanding couple relationships. From this theoretical orientation, he will discuss the importance for the couple psychotherapist of focusing on four areas in the clinical hour: the need for gesture to be properly met; the need to understand repetition in a creative way; the need to attend to mood and the emotional atmosphere; and the need to rethink the uses made of other people and other things outside the session. Dr. Shawnee Cuzzillo will serve as discussant, and Dr. Hewison will illustrate his innovative ideas with a case presentation.
