SUMMARY:CE: Life in the Upside Down: Working with Borderline States - Dr. Helscher
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored byThe WILA Alumni Association\n  \nProgram Description\nWorking with borderline states is extremely challenging because we often feel invaded\, overwhelmed\, and helpless to make sense of what is happening with the patient. Language\, both ours and the patient’s\, seems inadequate to capture the experience in the room. In this workshop\, I will use Bion’s notion of the failure of the contact barrier to describe these states of mind and explore ways of helping our patients and ourselves find firmer ground. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Learning Objectives\nUpon completion of the program participants should be able to: \n\nUnderstand how the contact barrier divides conscious from unconscious process in the mind\, and how deficits in it manifest in the clinical setting\nUnderstand how to detect projective identifications and how to work with them in the session\nDescribe and interpret the borderline experience of being in the ‘upside down’\nBe able to help their borderline patients begin to ‘mentalize’ their unrepresented emotional experience\nUnderstand how trauma damages the contact barrier and the patient’s ability to emotionally digest their experience\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Presenter\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					THOMAS P.
