Presented by Tina Marie Dale, LCSW. This course is intended for clinicians new to the therapeutic field or those with little to no exposure to the psychodynamic approach thus far in their professional careers. We will look at what the psychodynamic approach can offer to clinicians treating families, treating children, and/or working with parents. We will consider concepts such as transference, countertransference, internal objects, sibling relationships, as well as other concepts that inform and support child, family, and parent treatments. Video links and readings provided ahead of class will prepare participants for group discussion. We will also consider diversity among families in treatment. Class time will consist of lectures, case examples, and discussion among participants. Participants are expected to read and view the materials provided ahead of time and to arrive ready for discussion.
