Prerequisites: Interest in psychoanalytic treatment of children or psychodynamic psychoanalytically informed treatment of children.
Course size: Limit of 10 participants - 5 CAPA Members and 5 CAPA Students.
Description: Three two hour seminars on Reflective Network Therapy, an intensive evidence based application of child analysis for treating special needs preschoolers in their classrooms. This method may be particularly suited for cultures such as may be found in parts of China which emphasize the interrelatedness of minds and generations, and are favorable toward harnessing the therapeutic potential of social networks.
The technique will be illustrated by videotaped sessions from several preschools showing the four basic elements: 1) in-classroom briefing by teacher and child to therapist, 2) psychoanalytic play session in the classroom in which the child may interact expressively with willing peers as he or she chooses, 3) debriefing by therapist and child to teacher, 4) parent guidance weekly. Treatment of children with post traumatic stress disorder, some with autism spectrum disorder, disturbances of conduct, and oppositional defiant behavior will be included. Participants will be invited to conduct and share with the seminar participants any such work they carry out in suitable clinical or preschool settings. Online supervision can occur during seminars or follow later for participants who have such opportunities.
Course Objective: Prepare participants to be astonished by the ability of social networks to transform the psychological lives of traumatized children or those with developmental disturbances such as autism spectrum disorder.
