Joining, mirroring, and modeling are the most distinctive ways that Modern Psychoanalysis has developed to communicate with patients on an emotional level. These emotional communications serve the broad goal of helping the patients to consciously experience and express in words their unintegrated feelings. However, each type of emotional communication works best in a specific transference state and serves a slightly different purpose in terms of meeting maturational needs and in resolving resistances/modifying defenses within the analytic relationship. This workshop will discuss in detail the similarities and differences between these ways of communicating, and work towards providing guidelines for when, how, and why to use them.

Presenter: Paul Geltner, DSW

Description – This unique program integrates art and psychotherapy. The conference opens with comments about depression and suicide in contemporary society followed by a play read by professional actors, Every Brilliant Thing.

Every Brilliant thing is a play about a six year old boy who copes with his mother’s chronic suicidality and father’s aloofness through creating a list of every brilliant thing in the world to engage in living. The play brings humor and truth to a difficult topic. The play is followed by a presentation regarding depression, suicidality and the family system.
