ForwardTuesday Seminar: Theoretical and Technical Uses of Clinical Regression with David Mintz, M.D. and Jennifer Stevens, Ph.D., ABPP
This seminar will address the history and development of the concept of regression in psychoanalysis as well as the clinical utility, challenges, and pitfalls of working with clinical regression. Readings will focus most centrally on Middle School theorists (Winnicott, Little, Balint, Khan, and Guntrip) but will also include psychoanalytic writing from other theoretical orientations. Topics addressed will include the inherent regressive “pull” of the psychoanalytic situation, the relationship between regression and development, technical considerations in working with regression, and the place of transference and countertransference in regression. We hope that participants will bring in relevant clinical case material for discussion.This seminar will address the history and development of the concept of regression in psychoanalysis as well as the clinical utility, challenges, and pitfalls of working with clinical regression.
