Moderated by: Sandra S. Lashley, PsyD

Sunday, December 7, 2025
1:00 – 4:00 pm
Presentation and Discussion Via Zoom

Presentation: This conference will address illness in the analyst and unexpected life changing events that impact treatment are not widely covered in literature. This is changing. More recent writings have brought this topic to the forefront, with greater appreciation of the complex factors that impede on the analyst and make thinking about these unexpected events difficult. Ethical issues in regard to this area abound and include issues surrounding denial, disclosure, abstinence, competence, transference and impact on the treatment. This conference will be presented by three seasoned analysts, all of whom experienced serious illness while in clinical practice. Integrating theoretical, ethical and deeply personal experiences combined with their own writings, issues surrounding disclosure, defenses, abstinence and the Transference/countertransference matrix will be explored.
