  In any in-depth discussion about clinical work, the conversation almost invariably turns to issues of transference. What is this two way phenomenon? What are the sources of these mysterious, often puzzling feelings and forces that affect the therapeutic relationship from somewhere else in space and time? How does a therapist know when either of them are present in the room? How does one use them creatively to better understand the nature of the client’s difficulties and be able to use the energy creatively to keep the work moving?

  These and other issues surrounding therapist/client interactions will be reviewed and discussed in this Open Session facilitated by Charles S Pohl LCSW. Hope to see you there!

  Full description and objectives will be posted in early September.

• The Essentials of Psychodynamic Psychotherapy

  • When
    October 24, 2026

    Online only (via Zoom)

  Registration will open as date gets closer. An announcement will be sent out. 

  The psychodynamic orientation to psychotherapy is often confused with Freudian psychoanalysis as though nothing had been developed since couch time. However, this is an approach that works to sleuth out the underlying reasons that people feel what they feel (or don’t!) and why they behave the way they do. The presentation is offered by Cathy Loula MD, both psychiatrist and psychoanalyst from the Pine Society, a psychodynamic training program. She promises that this will be an easily comprehensible presentation of the material and will enhance the attendees scope of both understanding and offer enhanced strategies for clinical work.
