This course provides an overview of Modern Analytic practice focusing on the beginning stages of treatment. Emphasis is therefore placed on assisting clients and therapists in tolerating their anxieties, fears and characterological defenses in order to stay in the counseling relationship. Particular attention is paid to resolving treatment destructive resistances, establishing a treatment contract, developing the narcissistic transference and utilizing joining techniques in specific client-therapist interaction. In addition to readings and lectures, students will have the opportunity to present specific problematic dialogues from cases in order to fashion the most appropriate therapeutic intervention.

SECOND PERIOD COURSES
Countertransference: Why Did I Say That and What Was I Thinking?
Instructor: Stephen Day Ellis, Ph.D.
Class Dates: Sat. 9/20, 9/27, 10/04, 10/11, 10/18, 10/25, 11/01, 11/08, 11/15, 11/22, 12/06, 12/13

Scene: Dan Ackroyd as Tom Snyder interviewing Ray Charles, Saturday Night Live, November 12, 1977:
Ray Charles: I felt the blues, so I needed to sing the blues...
Tom Snyder: All right, sir, fair enough. My next question to you, sir, would be: What the heck are the blues and who gets them?
This course will ask a similar question: What is countertransference, who gets it, and what can be done about it (in addition to singing)? Each class will therefore be centered around a reading which illuminates the varying conceptualizations of countertransference, from the notion that it is something to be avoided at all costs, to being an indispensable and integral part of the treatment process. In addition, since countertransference is something that everyone "gets" by virtue of being involved in an interpersonal situation, the members will be expected to present their own countertransference issues and case dilemmas for discussion, thereby "doing something" about it for the benefit of all class participants.
Course Level: Advanced (or with instructor’s permission)
Variable credit for partial attendance may not be awarded.

This workshop is designed to facilitate the development of emotional flexibility and resilience through a combination of didactic and experiential learning.
