Psychoanalytic Therapy of Psychotic Patients (Winter)
3:00 - 4:30 P.M.

The special resistances and counter transference issues in working with psychotics and other severely disturbed patients, as well as the myths that get in the way will be discussed. Since most psychotic patients who get real treatment today are seen in private practice by psychoanalytic practitioners who ordinarily do not treat psychotics, the emphasis will be on outpatient treatment, and how the general processes of psychoanalysis apply. Patients who only sometimes show psychotic reactions as well as those who are continuously psychotic will be discussed. Videotapes and readings as well as clinical material will be discussed.

Instructor: Bertram Karon, Ph.D.
