Case Consultation Workshop by Travis Tanner, PhD

This virtual event is free to attend and pre-registration is required by emailing your name and degree to nobpcenter@gmail.com.

The Case Consultation Workshop is for clinicians interested in practicing psychoanalysis and psychodynamic therapy. Travis Tanner PhD will present an analytic case from his current practice.

The presentation will explore the dilemma of working with a false-self presentation. More specifically, the client in this case enacts a relational pattern in which he habitually accommodates to another’s expectations, feels coerced and resentful, but has trouble identifying his own desires and motivations. He feels most familiar to himself when he is passively opposed to someone else. He could benefit from learning other routes to feeling like himself and being with others. Attention will be devoted to how this specific relational pattern is enacted in the transference and countertransference.

Presentation of case material will alternate with group discussion.

Learning Objectives:

• Describe the self-perpetuating nature of an accommodating relational pattern.

• Become more adept at identifying relational patterns in the therapeutic process.

Travis Tanner teaches writing at Tulane University and is a 4th year Clinical Associate in the Adult Psychoanalytic Training Program at the New Center for Psychoanalysis in Los Angeles. In addition, he is a member at the New Orleans-Birmingham Psychoanalytic Center where he coordinates the annual film series. Some of his clinical and research interests include: theories of thinking, metaphors of the mind, creativity, and new approaches that expand the theory of psychoanalysis and broaden the populations that we engage.
