Advanced Seminar in Child and Adolescent Analysis:

“Waking Nightmares and Dreamless Sleep: A traumatized child’s journey from the imaginary to the symbolic realm”

Saturday, January 30, 2021

10:00 am – 12:00 pm (EST)

Please note this meeting will be held virtually on ZOOM. Registrants will receive ZOOM link.

Presenter: Holly Martin

Holly Martin will present a clinical paper which describes the intensive psychotherapy of a latency-aged foster child, attending to the way in which sexual trauma disrupts the development of symbolic functioning. Dissociative processes and their impact upon internal representation will be considered, as the presenter discusses the evolution of transference and countertransference phenomena over the course of this two-year treatment. Highlighting the adaptations in technique that were used to meet the child at her level of functioning, the presenter will trace her patient’s movement towards a capacity to symbolise.

2 CME/CE credits will be offered.

Holly Martin is a recently qualified Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist, trained at IPCAPA, who works within both the Child Psychotherapy Team at the Anna Freud Centre and CAMHS. Holly has previously worked in inpatient settings including psychiatric intensive care with young people and adults with dual diagnosis. Her doctoral research explores the manifestations and correlates of dissociation amongst foster children in middle childhood.

Educational Objectives: Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

  1. Identify two technical adaptations to work with a child with impaired ability to symbolize.
  2. Identify transference manifestations of the patient’s internal representations of traumatizing objects.
