Saturday morning workshop: Examining a psychoanalytic case: process and its outcome. February 10-12, 2012 Suffering and Sacrifice in the Therapeutic Encounter Featuring IPI Faculty including: Charles Ashbach, Ph.D., Karen Fraley, M.S.S., and Paul Koehler, M.S.W. The evolution of psychotherapy has revealed a component of the self that seems to consider suffering and sacrifice to be an absolute psychic and moral necessity. The purpose of the conference will be to understand the historical and clinical contexts of these states and the ways we may begin to consider them anew. The deep sources of guilt, masochism and trauma, in both patient and therapist, sometimes seek to transform the therapy into the sacrifice of one or both parties, or of the therapy process itself. We will examine the concepts of suffering and sacrifice in historical, mythological and anthropological forms to seek the psychic significance they possess for the patient, and the therapist. Clinical material will be used to reveal the impact of these conditions on the goals of treatment as well as on transference, counter-transference and the overall understanding of the therapeutic process.
