Description:
This case presentation will focus on clinical material from the four-year analysis of a latency girl referred after being expelled from several schools due to aggressive outbursts and early attachment disruptions in her relationship with her mother and father. The intent of the workshop is to illustrate the internal conflicts concerning a difficulty with aggression surrounding early traumatic loss of the maternal object, and explore the relationship throughout the analytic process.
Learning Objectives:
Illustrate how psychoanalysis provides a safe space to rework trauma experiences to support progressive development.
Describe how after a catastrophic event, the psychic apparatus is faced with mastering overwhelming stimuli and steps towards restoring areas of ego functioning.
Identify how Parent Work creates a therapeutic alliance to provide support within the analytic development of the child.
