Advanced Seminar in Child and Adolescent Analysis:

“A Boy and His Bed-Ridden Mother: The Impact of Maternal Illness on a Child’s Development”

Thursday, November 14, 2019

8:00 – 10:00 pm

Presenter: Matthew Shaw, Ph.D.

Discussant: Adam Libow, M.D.

Severe parental illness not only debilitates the parent but the child for which he or she cares.  Dr. Shaw will present the case of an explosive, erratic 5 year-old boy whose mother was devastated both by breast cancer and its treatment when he was 18 months old.  Through tracing his three years in analysis, Dr. Shaw will highlight the fragmentation of the boy’s inner-world and the centrality of working with his own countertransference in order to find him emotionally.

2 CME/CE credits offered.
