IPTAR Bulletin - Institute for Psychoanalytic Training and Research

orderline, and psychotic disorders is examined separately. The interplay
between these syndromes and developmental and learning problems is
more fully explored. Clinical case presentations, with the focus on the inner
world of the child as revealed through play, fantasy, and dreams, offer the
opportunity to examine technique in greater depth.
The third year allows the candidate to experience, through the presentation
of ongoing case material, the unfolding and deepening of the therapeutic
process. The opportunity to see the child and adolescent in a
long-term treatment allows for greater understanding of the kinds of
defenses and the modes of regression that children use. It also allows
for personal experience of transference, countertransference, and enactment
in the treatment of children. The role of the parents in a child's
treatment is further explored, along with techniques of parent work.
Special seminars and workshops are offered on such topics as neuropsychology,
learning disorders, psychopharmacology, divorce, adoption,
deprivation and abuse, infant research, parent-infant treatment,
loss, mourning, and termination.
