Dr. Michael Garrett will challenge the validity of the concept of “schizophrenia” as a genetically determined brain disease and review research suggesting that chronic psychosis is a trauma-related disorder best characterized as a particular phenotypic form of complex PTSD. He will review research showing that childhood trauma increases the risk of psychosis and that fragmented trauma memories are often embedded in the content of psychotic symptoms. Dr. Garrett will trace the developmental origin of psychotic symptoms from implicit behavioral knowing that in infancy provides a template for relationship with caregivers, through pre-verbal fantasy, to conscious and unconscious object-related fantasy, to the emergence of florid psychotic symptoms in adolescence. Dr. Garrett will differentiate non-psychotic, near-psychotic, and psychotic manifestations of transference as seen from an object-related point of view, illustrating each form of transference with a brief clinical vignette and offer clinical suggestions about how to recognize and deal with a psychotic transference.

Transference-Focused Psychotherapy (TFP) is a manualized object relations treatment developed by Otto Kernberg and his workgroup to treat a broad spectrum of personality pathology. Originally developed to treat Borderline Personality Disorder, TFP has since been adapted to treat those suffering with various types of narcissistic pathology. In this presentation, Dr. Davis will provide an overview of the TFP treatment model as a whole and its use in working with those with narcissistic pathology in particular. Central to narcissistic pathology is the operation of the grandiose self. He will provide a theoretical overview of the concept of the grandiose self and how it fits within the context of Kernberg’s object relations theory. Dr. Davis will then offer clinical illustrations of the grandiose self as it appears in treatment and offer a few clinical examples of how to intervene from a TFP perspective when indications of narcissistic grandiosity are present. |

The psychoanalytic dyad is a flexible, constantly evolving entity that is nourished by reality, dreams, and a co-created creative space in which both the analysand and the analyst are influenced by their own pasts, their present and instincts that are informed by the spoken and unspoken. Creativity comes in all forms, both conscious and unconscious. How does one harness one's own creativity in the work of unraveling profound or chronic trauma with a stranger? How does one find common ground that can be transformational or healing? How can transference and counter- transference be seen as a foundation for change? These are some of the questions raised in a conversation acknowledging the value of creativity in psychoanalysis. |
