Whether you are a child therapist or analyst who wants to immerse yourself in a day of thinking with colleagues about working with the child in the family, or an adult psychotherapist or analyst who wants to get in touch with the childhood origins of adult difficulty, this one-day course is for you, and for any mental health professional who works with, or is interested in, a psychoanalytic perspective on clinical work with children and their families.  Child and adult psychotherapists and analysts will find it relevant to their respective client populations.

We will explore our facility for playing and applying interpretive play technique to work with individual children and to access the early memories of adults in treatment.  The focus will be on the individual child or adolescent, but we will consider that individual in the family dynamic and cultural context.  One guest faculty member will discuss a student presentation on working with siblings and parents, and two IPI faculty members will present their own work with individuals in family therapy.

Those who attend the course and fill out the evaluation form will earn 5 CE units.
