Description

Description:

Invited Address Session 6 Part 1 - The Evolution of an Analytic Psychotherapist: A 50 Year Search for Conceptual Clarity in a Tower of Babel
Featuring Judd Marmor, MD, with discussant Jay Haley, MA.
Moderated by William Matthews, Jr, PhD.

The author traces the evolution of psychodynamic theory over the past fifty years and demonstrates how various individuals and schools of thought have contributed to increasing conceptual clarity despite significant continuing differences. Along with these theoretical advances, there have been important changes in analytically-oriented therapeutic techniques. Nevertheless, underneath the wide variance in methodology and in their explanatory terminology, certain common denominators are discernible that explain why such diverse theoretical approaches are able to achieve comparable degrees of therapeutic success. These factors are demonstrable in non-analytic therapies also.

Educational Objectives:

  1. To obtain a broad-based perspective about the evolution of diverse approaches to dynamic psychotherapy.
  2. To describe the common denominators that enable psychotherapists of differing theoretical persuasions to achieve comparable therapeutic results.
  3. To list the most significant factors in effective psychotherapy.
