- Harm reduction and modern analytic approaches for people with drug & alcohol problems. We will address such questions as: If opioids serve an anti-rage function, what interventions help a client deal with rage as they cut down on their use?

Group is Forming Transference/Resistance Group (will meet also every 2nd Tuesday) Call or email Mark Sehl to discuss if this is for you
Fee: $25 Time will be: 8:15-9:15 PM
* Stalemates in therapy often exist because of therapists’ countertransference problems. Increase awareness of transference & countertransference reactions and how to use them by attending the transference/resistance group for therapists. It is challenging for therapists to resolve resistance in a group, yet it is one of the most effective learning experiences a therapist can have. Taking risks in a supportive accepting environment is how we grow as therapists, and how we develop courage to help clients take risks. See link below for workshop details.

This ongoing workshop will concentrate on effective interventions in psychotherapy. We will focus on interventions that help patients feel connected to the therapist as well as interventions that disturb this connection. Resistance is a constant in our work. How can we work with the various kinds of resistances, including the treatment destructive resistance, which can bring an abrupt end to treatment? Silence is an effective intervention but can be misused. We will look at the positive and negative impact of interpretations, particularly with preoedipal patients. Also how can we respond to personal questions and have the best therapeutic outcome?
To what extent do we frustrate or gratify patients and why? Suicide creates anxiety in most therapists. What is the best way to respond to suicidal patients and suicidal threats. Our patients often suffer from narcissistic problems that involve low self-esteem, self-attacks, and self-destructive behavior. Therefore we will consider what interventions can be effective in helping a client reduce harmful self-attacks.
Since many of our clients are involved in some problematic substance use, workshop content will include harm reduction and analytic approaches with people who experience problems involving drugs and alcohol. Cases will be discussed illustrating classical and modern psychoanalytic techniques integrated with a harm reduction approach resulting in successful treatment outcomes.
The workshop will also include building and sustaining a private practice: advertising, setting fees, availability during vacations, cost effective ways of integrating group therapy into your practice, frequency of sessions (once or twice a week, biweekly, half sessions), the positive and negative impact of answering phones in session, and building your practice with telephone therapy.
. Other issues will be addressed as they emerge. Case examples from participants, the literature, and the workshop leader will be used to illustrate effective interventions.

He also is on the faculty of NYU. Dr. Sehl has integrated the best aspects of classical and modern psychoanalytic approaches.
