| Extra Info | : | This event will be presented by Dr. Jennifer Hanlin: Attendees will explore Philip Bromberg’s paper, Treating Patients with Symptoms—and Symptoms with Patience: Reflections on Shame, Dissociation, and Eating Disorders. Bromberg’s theory is that the therapist’s task is to allow themselves to slowly discover the patient’s multiplicity of self-states and the existing gap between the states. Further, the case presented within the paper will be discussed, and the need to maintain the dissociative structures within the mind, presenting as “illness”, will be emphasized. Examples of the interpersonal relational psychotherapy process will be given to enhance the understanding of treatment. |
