They include, among other concerns, the requirements of the fieldwork setting; obtaining and using supervision from the fieldwork administrator; methods of observing patients in psychiatric hospitals; methods of observing patients in day-treatment and agency settings; using CHD fieldwork supervision; psychopharmacology; medical conditions; and recognition in fieldwork patients of the symptoms, onset, course, and prognosis of psychotic disorders.

Seminar, April 10, 2012. Medication Management in the Split-Treatment Setting: A Collaborative Approach
This seminar presents an overview of some of the most common psychiatric conditions encountered in our work with patients (e.g., depression, anxiety, OCD, Bipolar Disorder, Insomnia, and ADHD) and the medications used to treat them. In order to enhance the treatment and understanding of our patients as well as the communication between those involved in their treatment, the various medications used and strategies for working collaboratively will be discussed. The following issues will be emphasized: a) when to consider a psychiatric referral and how to find a psychiatrist who is a good fit; b) common side effects and reasons patients stop taking medications; c) what patients might be experiencing but aren't telling us and why; d) non-compliance: it's not always resistance; d) the advantage of side effects and how to use them to help; and e) benzos use: Should we worry, and how do we know when? Participants will gain an improved understanding of common medication issues and communication strategies to minimize split-treatment issues that can arise.
Instructor: *Eli Greenberg, MD
Date: Tuesday, April 12
Time: 7:45-9:45pm (one two-hour seminar)
Location: 338 East 30th Street, Suite #2RW 646-330-4991

Wednesdays_____________________

*+G103. Transference and Resistance in Modern Group Psychoanalysis
This course focuses on the emergence, impact, and management of the multiple transferences and resistances that occur among members of a modern psychoanalytic group. These phenomena are considered vital forces that paradoxically impede and foster the analytic work of the group. Students learn to detect narcissistic and object transferences (both positive and negative) and examine the ways in which individual resistances manifest and are resolved during the development of the group. Resistance to transference and transference resistance also are examined.
Instructor: TBA
Time: Wednesdays, 8:00-9:45am
Location: 1225 Park Avenue, Suite 1A (212) 289-8127

Thursdays_____________________

*C102. Psychopathology: Character Disorders and Neuroses
This course investigates the drives, affects, defenses, and clinical presentation of patients with character disorders: psychopathic (antisocial), schizoid, paranoid, depressive, manic, masochistic (self-defeating), obsessive and compulsive, hysterical (histrionic), and dissociative personalities. Students understand both the modern psychoanalytic conception of these illnesses and strategies for their treatment; identify the countertransference reactions these disorders evoke; and discuss cases with the class. Comparing and contrasting character-disordered patients with neurotic patients and discussing differences in treatment approaches, students gain an understanding of character formation and organization.
Instructor: Susan Blumenson, PhD, LP
Time: Thursdays, 4:00-5:45pm
Location: 24 Fifth Avenue, Grnd. Fl. Suite (212) 473-5580

*+M102. Oedipal Stage: Third through Sixth Year of Life
This course examines the developmental tasks of the three- to six-year-old, particularly the intrapsychic separation from the mother, the development of early character structures, the path of the Oedipus Complex and its forms of resolution and fixation; the establishment of the superego; and gender distinctions during this period.
Instructor: Michaela Kane Schaeffer, PhD, LP
Time: Thursdays, 8:00-9:45pm
Location: 170 Rugby Road, Brooklyn (718) 693-2243

Fridays_____________________

E123. Continuing Case Seminars on Clinical Practice II
This class concentrates on psychoanalytic cases presented by students. Session protocols (appropriately disguised) are examined in order to study these cases over time. Students consider the unfolding of cases and the specific issues arising in each treatment. Emphasis is placed on deep understanding of the primitive defenses and core conflicts of each patient, as well as the countertransference and countertransference resistances of the clinician.
Instructor: Richard Friedman, PhD
Time: Fridays, 1:00-2:45pm
Location: 1123 Park Ave, #1D (212) 289-3592
