The IPA Three-Level Model for Tracking Transformations in Psychoanalysis
Moderators: Louis Brunet, PhD; Margaret Ann Fitzpatrick Hanly, PhD
Maximum # of participants: 14
Clinical Observation provides a method to identify aspects of clinical material in the process of transformation, and aspects where impasse is found.
For more information regarding the Clinical Observation Three-Level Model, please contact Dr. Margaret Ann Fitzpatrick Hanly at mafhanly@gmail.com
The Working Party on the Specificity of Psychoanalytic Treatment Today
Coordinators: Andre Gagnon, MD; Ronnie Shaw, PMH-CNS, BC Moderators: André Gagnon, MD; Navah Kaplan, PhD
Maximum # of participants: 14
The Working Party has found that due to the associative thinking of analysts working together, the clinical research group functions as a magnifying echo of the transference- countertransference relation between patient and analyst.
For questions on Specificity: Andre Gagnon gagnonandre60@hotmail.com or Ronnie Shaw Ronnieshawoffice@gmail.com
