In this latest installment of our case conference series, targeted at early career clinicians and those looking to learn more about psychodynamic approaches to therapy, Jon Venitz, LSW will present from their work with an adult patient in residential treatment, a setting that introduces special challenges to the traditional therapeutic frame (e.g. the therapist having case management responsibilities, triangulation with other staff, etc.)

Discussant Fred Baurer, MD, psychoanalyst and PCOP faculty member, will provide an overview of key concepts for working psychodynamically with patients struggling with addiction. Process material will be discussed with an emphasis on 1) case formulation, 2) use of countertransference and transference as a source of insight into the patient, and 3) clinical interventions, including concrete examples of “what to say, when” from a psychodynamic lens that attendees can apply to their own clinical work. In the question and answer period that follows, attendees will have an opportunity to discuss the case with Mx. Venitz and Dr. Baurer. 

Upon registering, attendees will receive a copy of Dr. Baurer’s paper, Psychodynamic Treatment with the Addicted Person (2021) to familiarize them with this approach.
