International Psychotherapy Institute

Jill Scharff invites you to a day on Ethical Supervision of Psychotherapists for Children, Adolescents, and Families. Please join us at IPI to share concerns and find psychoanalytic ways of thinking about and dealing sensitively with the dilemmas of the child and adolescent psychotherapist encountered in the competence-building supervisory relationship. Come discuss the many questions we have as supervisors and supervisees: How does the supervisee negotiate the supervisory relationship that offers learning but raises mutual anxiety, fears of incompetence, and the shame of not knowing? How does the supervisor support and educate, respect for the supervisee's cultural affiliations, essential otherness, autonomy, and ownership of their clinical practice? How does the supervisory pair cultivate and sustain a psychic space for truth, fairness, and shared learning? Reserve your place at www.theipi.org for one or both days.

Erotic Transference in Children For the upcoming Master Speaker Series, Dr. Alvarez turns her attention to the erotic transference/countertransference dynamics that appear in child work. She differentiates between the emergence of healthy sexuality in the therapeutic encounter and the perverse sexual dynamics that often appear in traumatized children. She provides assistance to both the novice and the experienced clinician about ways to effectively navigate the anxiety producing waters of sexualized transferences. While her work focuses on children, her conceptualizations often help therapists treating more complex, regressed, adult patients. Come join us for a lively discussion. Anne Alvarez, PhD, M.A.C.P is a Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist (and retired Co-Convener of the Autism Service, Child and Family Department, Tavistock Clinic, London).
