Case Presentation: Jon Venitz, LSW
Discussant: Frederic Baurer, MD 2 CE/CMEs Available ADMISSION
About the Program 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. Program Flyer - Click Here!

About the Program Please join us for a special program in which we will screen the film, “Speaking of Home: An Intimate Exchange on Israel-Palestine” produced by ROOM, A Sketchbook for Analytic Action. Since 2017, ROOM has been publishing essays, poetry, art, letters, memoir, and creative nonfiction using psychoanalysis as a lens for social discourse. In this film, Dr. Karim Dajani, a Palestinian psychoanalyst, and Dr. Eyal Rozmarin, an Israeli psychoanalyst, share with one another their personal histories, and engage with one another in a candid conversation. Each analyst shares his story of growing up in his homeland, talking openly about his own lived experiences as well as his extended family’s experience, one which involved subjugation and malignant prejudice. By sharing their respective stories with each other, they discover how their group identities and familial ties have impacted their conversation, leading to unconsciously driven distortions of the other. In a poignant exchange, each analyst demonstrates remarkable listening skills and empathy, thereby modeling for the audience the potential power of dialogue in facilitating an improved understanding of how enduring and profound intergenerational conflicts can have on one’s sense of self and on personal relationships. The film offers a model for repair. The program will unfold as follows: First, the film will be shown to the entire group. After the screening, attendees will be invited by the moderators to share their reflections about their experience of the film. Also, attendees will be encouraged to contribute ideas for using this film as a vehicle for promoting dialogue in the wider community. Specifically, they will have an opportunity to help shape plans for a program that will be held in Philadelphia during the academic year, 2025-26. One of the goals of the April 6th program is to consider ways to use this film to design future programming for groups of people from diverse professional and personal backgrounds, with the aim of creating spaces for constructive dialogue and repair of longstanding conflicts.
