A Scientific Meeting presented by Judy Kantrowitz, PhD

In this presentation, we will consider the importance of an outside observer in clinical work after the end of formal training. This includes but is not limited to the importance of peer supervision, supervision groups where cases can be shared confidentially, and other forms of clinical consultation.

We are all at times “blind” to some aspect of ourselves, which we are made aware of during training, and must continue to be addressed after training, though this has received significantly less attention. While Transference- countertransference issues are the clearest example, but there are other ways interference can occur, which we will also consider, including how the patient-analyst match can facilitate or impede a treatment’s progress.
