An internationally diverse, multidisciplinary faculty will explore the child’s Inheritance of Intergenerational Trauma. We will present varieties of inherited trauma and give detailed clinical illustrations ranging from the effects of fetal alcohol to cultural trauma. Invited discussants will respond, and always at an IPI event, there will be much audience participation. The course is for psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapists who work with children or adolescents, or for adult psychotherapists who wish to expand their knowledge of younger patients, or for cogniitive-behavioral child therapists who are curious about the analytic approach in relation to trauma. The course is in four sections of 75 minutes with an introduction and a closing plenary, each of 30 minutes, earing those who complete the evaluation form 6 CEs. We welcome a diverse group of applicants for this one-day pre-conference on February 9, from 8:30 am – 4:00 pm US East coast time.

To get an even fuller experience, register for the full February Weekend conference featuring Ira Brenner in addition to this pre-conference.

Educational Objectives

The course focuses on psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapeutic practice in relation to children and adolecents who have suffered direct and indirect trauma through the transmission of intergenerational trauma. This type of trauma has been extensively studied in clinical practice and in research protocols. Empirical research functions as a check on subjectivity and theoretical alliances in on-going attempts to determine the approaches most helpful in working with patients clinically. Research provides compelling evidence that psychodynamic psychotherapy is an effective treatment for common psychological problems of young people and their families during childhood and adolescence.

After attending these presentations, participants wil be able to:

Varieties of Trauma

• Distinguish between two types of trauma

Emma’s Trauma

• Describe two aspects of good-enough therapuetic experience for the treatment of trauma
• Name three aspects of experience deposted in the infantile psyche

Transgenerational Transmission and Fetal Alcohol Syndrome

• Discuss the traumatic interaction of two childhood experiences of intergenerational trauma.
• Illustrate two ways that a child uses technology to express outrage at loss

A Provider’s Perspective on Transmission in the Alaskan Native Population

• Describe the effect of two aspects of provider availabilty on a child and his community
• Discuss one countertransference seen when a therapist of a different culture intervenes in a traumatized family

A Child of Trauma

• Describe one countertransference that leads to a useful interpretation
• Describe one example of resistance to therapeutic intervention in a case of trauma
