In this workshop , Dr. Jess Erb and Dr. Ryan Bittinger will take key theories from the Psychodynamic discipline and see how they almost always arise in your practice.
Session 1:
Learn about Dr. Erb & Dr. Bittinger's experience as Psychodynamic practitioners, ask questions and discover what this course has to offer. This first session is a crash course
to Psychodynamic theory.
Session 2:
You are the technique! Discover how to use yourself and learn from Dr. Bittinger how your ‘shadow side’ can come up in the therapeutic relationship. This session is all about Carl Jung and his take on Psychodynamics in therapy.
Session 3:
What does Transference and Countertransference actually look like in practice? Explore case examples and learn the difference between ‘good’ AND ‘bad’ transferences.
Session 4:
How to apply key psychodynamic terms to real life case examples? We will dive into Object Relations, understanding client affect, Kleinian theory, False Self, and the importance of ‘play’.
Session 5:
How does the Psychodynamic therapist work with trauma? Learn how to meet a client in the darkest depths, and when to refer them.
Session 6:
Are we ever really a ‘blank screen’? We will look at recent changes to psychodynamic theory and the Relational Psychodynamic paradigm.
