This seminar will begin with the premise that we benefit from understanding our internal motivations to heal and the strain on us as healers. This seminar will explore our conscious and unconscious responses to clients, supervisors, work settings, critical incidents in our environment(s) through a cultural and social justice lens. The core psychoanalytic concepts of identity, self-concept, object relations and trauma theory will provide a foundation for our thinking. Through reading and clinical presentations, we will immerse ourselves in thinking about the multi-faceted nature of our relationship to clients and our personal and professional responses. The seminar will importantly engage how personal life circumstances impact our work (our transference and countertransference responses), and how life circumstances may generate strengths as well as vulnerability for us at any given time. Issues of race, gender, class, and trauma will be woven throughout our discussions.
