The Contributions of Empirical Infant Research to Psychoanalytic Treatment
By Dr. Frank Lachmann
Thursday, April 18, 2019
8:00 PM – 10:00 PM
Overview:
About 15 years ago I wrote a paper “Infant Research and Adult Treatment: What have we learned? How can we apply it?” In my presentation I summarize what I learned in the past and then turn to what Beatrice Beebe and I have learned in the last 15 years, specifically, how the continuing empirical research on infants and mothers furthers our ability to treat adult patients. These studies have documented the bidirectionality and co-creation of experience in infancy and can be extended into adulthood to include the therapeutic relationship. Organizing principles of self and interactive regulation their disruption and repair, and heightened affective moments can be translated into leading and tailing edge interpretations in the treatment of adults that provide therapist with an empirically derived perspective for understanding and interpreting development, psychopathology and transference. Clinical illustrations connect and clarify the empirical research with a self-psychology-based perspective that provides a framework for contributions of infant research to adult treatment.
Learning Objectives:
1. Participants will learn that interventions based on empirical studies of early development can provide a wider array of clarifying therapeutic interventions.
2. Participants will be able to make leading edge interventions that further the treatment process and growth of the patient.
3. Participants will be able to avoid some of the pitfalls that trap and lock patient and therapist in defensive interactions.
4. Participants will be able to recognize and use the power of nonverbal communications as a therapeutic tool.
