REFLECTIONS ON “MUTUAL ANALYSIS”:
THE RELEVANCE OF MUTUALITY IN OUR CURRENT CLINICAL WORLD

Via Zoom

This program is open to licensed clinicians only.

This current time, dominated by a global pandemic and social and political unrest, challenges the very notions of the individual and the shared. Ferenczi’s assertion that “not employing the spirit of mutuality dooms many analyses to deadness and repetition" rings especially true now, as many of us navigate the shared traumas and losses that are experienced simultaneously and mutually by both patient and therapist. We invite you to share in this discussion about the efficacy of the “spirit of mutuality” in our current clinical practice.
