This course will span the academic year --18 sessions-- and will explore the context and development of the basic but complex object relations concepts arising from Freud and expanded upon by Klein and later theorists and clinicians. We will also consider necessary conditions for growing a mind, and the clinical implications when that process is affected by neglect or trauma.

"The Confusional Link"
Years ago on a panel entitled Clinical Gray Zones focusing on those times when abandonment of traditional neutrality was the better part of valor, Hedda Bolgar was asked how active she would be in the treatment of a seriously ill patient. She replied: “All our clinical work is about protecting the future of our patients. When the future’s in doubt, what becomes the work of the analyst?”
Her answer reverberated for me when a patient in an established analysis was diagnosed with Huntington's disease.
What are your religious or spiritual beliefs? Do your beliefs and traditions impact your work either implicitly or explicitly? And what about your clients’ beliefs? How do they show up in the room? Do you invite an exploration of how their spiritual or religious traditions might play out in their lives? And lastly, why are we trained to explore the subjects of sex and money but not religion?
