The Program:
Conference attendees will witness three completely separate, spontaneous and unrehearsed supervisions of the same case presentation offered by Joana Cruz MA, LMFT. A short time before the conference the presenting clinician will be filmed in separate individual sessions discussing identical process material with three different senior Supervisors: one Supervisor using a Self Psychological approach (Dr. Allen Siegel), the second using a Relational approach (Dr. Hazel Ipp) and the third a Kleinian/Bionian approach (Dr. Barnet Malin).
This highly unique format will allow attendees to observe and compare how different approaches to supervision affect the same clinical material, altering meaning and understanding of identical content in each of the three dyads. Envisioning en vivo this undeniable influence of the supervisor’s particular psychoanalytic approach on meaning and feeling in the dyad, the community as an entirety may more clearly apprehend the value of psychoanalytic pluralism to clinical understanding, as well as perceiving the absence of a singular theoretical truth in regard to psychoanalytic theory.
Following the presentation of the filmed interviews, all of the participants, including the three supervisors, the presenter, and the moderator, Dr. Jill Gardner, will assemble to discuss among themselves and with the audience how theory affects technique.
IAPSP will be producing video and/or audio recordings (the “recordings”) from this event. These recordings may be used by IAPSP for future educational purposes only. If you participate in the program and have your video / audio on, be advised that the recordings may contain your recognizable image, name and/or voice. The content of the recording will be owned by IAPSP and will not be available to the public. By participating in the program, you give your implied consent to your image, name or voice to be used.
Simultaneous interpretation (English-Spanish and English – French) will be available for the clinical presentation, the discussions and the question / answer portion of the program.
