Four-week courses will be awarded six CE credits; twoweek course, three CE credits An educational film evening, Friday, June 16, will also be offered free of charge to June Workshop enrollees.
SUPERVISION: Difficult Cases and Situations
Workshop participants will experience how presenting cases in a group
setting can help you to achieve clarity and resolve difficult impasses. Clinical

THE ANALYTIC FRAME: Rationale and Applications
In his “On Beginning the Treatment,” Freud (1912) outlines the conditions
under which treatment is to be conducted. This “frame” includes a fixed
appointment time, frequency of sessions, and fee. We will discuss the rationale
behind the “rules” and demonstrate how conflicts around punctuality,
regularity, and payment can be worked with—in treatment and everyday life.
TUESDAYS June 6. 13. 20. 27 5:30–7:00 PM $175
Rory Rothman, MSW. CMPS Faculty, Supervisor, Library Committee; Book
Review Editor, Modern Psychoanalysis.
FREUD’S CASE STUDIES: The Psychotic Dr. Schreber
This workshop offers a close reading of Freud’s 1911 study of an autobiographical
account of severe mental illness. Hospitalized three times with
paranoid, psychosexual, and religious delusions, Schreber had formerly
served as a judge in Dresden and had published his memoirs in 1903.
Course topics include the dynamics of paranoia, projection, narcissism,
delusions of world destruction, the fantasy of being turned into a woman,
and repressed homosexual desire for the father.

Steven Poser, PhD. CMPS Faculty, Training Analyst, Research Coordinator.
THE BATTLE WITHIN:
Unconscious Conflict, Anxiety, and Symptom Formation
Self-knowledge begins with a curiosity about one’s own internal life and
that of others. Workshop explores the origin of our internal conflicts, how
they are expressed, and how they may interfere with effective functioning.
THURSDAYS June 8. 15. 22. 29 5:30–7:00 PM $175
Lucy Holmes, PhD. CMPS Faculty, President, Society for Modern Psychoanalysts.
LOST CASES: What We Can Learn from
Our Work with Patients Who Terminate Prematurely
Workshop focus is cases that terminate prematurely. In addition to reading
the literature on treatment impasses, we will learn from studying our clinical
“mistakes.” Participants are invited to present discontinued cases to examine
the interrelatedness of the conscious and unconscious dynamics of
patient and analyst. “Lost” cases provide us with wisdom about our work.
THURSDAYS June 8. 22 5:30–7:00 PM
Theodore Laquercia, PhD. CMPS Faculty, Training Analyst, Supervisor, Special
Projects Director.
