| Extra Info | : | Anthony Bass with Zack Eleftheriadou Growth, Impasse, Analytic Change and the Changing Analyst-The Mutuality of Relations at the heart of Analytic Change In this five-part series we will explore why, with some clients, the therapy ‘gets stuck’. In this presentation Anthony Bass will consider aspects of impasse, in therapies in which either therapist or patient comes to feel that they have reached a point of diminishing returns, or that the therapy has come to do more harm than good, from a two-person, intersubjective perspective that locates such problems and their possible solutions in therapist and patient mutually. Therapy at such times requires working through of the problem from both sides, with special attention to the dialogue of unconsciouses between therapist and patient as a source of illumination. Psychoanalytic therapies, when they are most helpful, are processes of personal discovery for both participants. Therapist and patient come to know more about themselves as a function of their encounter with one another, and both participants change as a result. Either patient or therapist may be the first to change, initiating an expansion of transitional space and therapeutic potential. I will consider such moments and some ways in which I believe a therapist can use him or herself to re-initiate change, growth and healing in the patient, therapist and therapeutic couple that can make possible a resumption of genuinely affecting therapeutic work. |
