Modern Kleinian Therapy is a 3-stage model in which we help the patient notice and name something they previously could not see in themselves. Then, we help them claim and emotionally own the conflict they are now facing. The goal is for the patient, with our help, is to begin to challenge, master, grieve, accept, and tame this now known element or aspect of self. Clinical reports are presented to show one way of interpreting or translating new meaning to the patient and show their reaction to it.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of this presentation participants will be able:
- To encourage the listener to think more deeply about how and why they interpret in the style they do and to consider if this model would help them in their interpretive interactions.
- To encourage the listener to think more deeply about how and why they interpret in the style they do and to consider if this model would help them in their interpretive interactions.
- To learn about the Modern Kleinian Therapy approach.
- To learn more about how containment and interpretation of core internal phantasy conflicts helps the patient to tame and integrate themselves from a more compromised paranoid-schizoid mode to a more depressive level of development.
