Presenter: Ruth Baer Maetzener, Ph.D.
Dr. Baer Maetzener will present a 4-year-long analysis of an 18-year-old adolescent male whose developmental process of identification undulated between grandiosity and failure, manhood and boyhood, caregiver and beggar. Much work was done around superego conflicts having to do with identification and separation from his internalized parental figures.
2 Contact Hours. 2 CME/CE credits will be offered.
