CE: “Futurevision:” The Analyst’s Concept of the Patient’s Future Self and Implications for Treatment – Dr. Weisel-Barth
February 25, 2023 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm PST
Sponsored by
The WILA Alumni Association
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Dr. Joye Weisel-Barth, senior instructor, training analyst, supervisor, and Board member at the Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis, will present on the concept of “futurevision” in psychoanalytic treatment. As will be discussed, “futurevision” is the analyst’s image and imagining of the patient’s future self. Often patients come to treatment depressed, stuck trying to resolve the past and failing to meet the needs of the present. The future is absent, or a bleak projection of what was or is. With what Dr. Weisel-Barth calls “futurevision,” the analyst and patient are able to co-create an image of the patient’s future, specifically one that contains the patient’s growth into a more developed self. The program will involve three components: 1) a description of the relational formation of the analyst’s “futurevision” of the patient as well as its influence on treatment, 2) case material to elucidate a real-world example of “futurevision” in psychoanalytic practice, and 3) discussion with attendees.
This event is presented at the intermediate level and is for clinicians of any orientation interested in or practicing relational psychoanalytic work.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of the program participants should be able to:
- Describe the concept of “futurevision” as a functional part of the analyst’s holding environment
- Identify the presence and utility of “futurevision” in participants’ clinical work
- Differentiate between “futurevision” and colluding with manic defense
