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.
Dr. Ruth Baer Maetzener studied Adult and Child Psychology at the University of Zurich, Switzerland, from where she received her Ph.D. in psychology. She later moved to New York where she graduated from the Parent Infant Program at Columbia University. She then trained at the Columbia Psychoanalytic Center in Adult as well as Child & Adolescent Psychoanalysis and recently graduated from the latter. She is a supervisor of the Clinical Psychology doctoral program of the City College of New York and in the Psychology Externship program of the New York Psychoanalytic Institute. She is in private practice in New York City where she sees infants, children, adolescents and adults.
