Unconscious Fantasy - 5 sessions
Anita Schmuckler, DO
This course will examine the concept of fantasy in clinical work. We will explore the interplay of unconscious fantasies of analyst and patient and examine ways in which this dynamic can impede or advance analytic process. Fantasies of young children will be included, as we examine the concept of fantasy from a developmental basis as well. Candidates will have an opportunity to present clinical material in examining fantasies from patients.
