Advanced Seminar in Child and Adolescent Analysis:

“The Role of the Analyst as a Developmental Object in Therapeutic Action”

Thursday, March 28, 2019 

8:00 – 10:00 pm

Presenter: Carla Neely, Ph.D.

The use of the analyst as a developmental object can occur in all analyses but has been linked historically to technique applicable primarily to developmental pathology. It has also suffered by its confusion with the concept “corrective emotional experience.”  This paper attempts to correct that confusion as well as to clarify the mechanisms by which the analyst as developmental object contributes to structural change. To highlight the unique roles of the developmental object in therapeutic action, clinical material is presented contrasting the use of the analyst as a developmental object with that of the analyst as transference object. To achieve this goal, this paper draws on psychoanalytic theorists’ study of the concept and illustrative clinical examples.

2 CME/CE credits offered.
