Cases in Conversation: Reading and Study Group
2026-05-10 16:00 - 17:00 UTC | NOBPC, 3624 Coliseum Street, New Orleans, LA, 70115, United States
Do you want to earn up to 7 in-person CME credits? Would you like to learn more about psychoanalytic ideas and how to apply them to your practice?
The Cases in Conversation Study Group is for clinicians who are interested in psychoanalytic ideas and their application to psychotherapy. The group will be facilitated by Jeanne Cunningham, LCSW.
In this new study group, we will read psychoanalytic cases and discuss how to work concretely with psychoanalytic concepts. Therapists with an analytic background as well as those who are brand new to psychoanalysis are encouraged to join us to explore what it means to work within a psychoanalytic frame of mind, use of self, and the evolution from classical to relational psychoanalysis.
Together, we’ll read and discuss six short case studies from Dr. Beth I. Feldman’s 2025 book, Case Studies in Relational Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis: If I Could Turn Back Time. Dr. Feldman’s accessible, relational approach invites us to think deeply about the meaning of analytic work and how it unfolds in real therapy rooms.
Participants will also examine Feldman’s nuanced use of the analytic frame and self-disclosure, enhancing their theoretical grasp of psychoanalysis and supporting reflection on how relational techniques might inform their own clinical practice.
Learning Objectives:

Discuss the core tenants of contemporary psychoanalysis and how to apply them to clinical practice
Define the analytic concepts used by Feldman, including misattunements, ruptures, enactments and self-states
Examine Feldman’s use of relational techniques such as self-revelation and evaluate their effectiveness

This is an in-person study group meeting on the following Sundays at 3624 Coliseum Street from 4pm-5pm Central Time:
