This series provides psychoanalysts and psychoanalytically oriented therapists an introduction to consulting to businesses and organizations in the private and public sector. The course reviews the development of this field from Freud’s nascent thinking about group psychology, to the work of Klein, Bion, and later object-relations theorists, to modern day thinking of representatives from ego, self and relational psychologies and from the business world. Historical and present day case material is used to illustrate the utility of this approach and to lend texture to introductory readings in the field. Consideration is given to the technical and practical considerations of beginning a practice and carrying out a consultancy.

"When a Parent Goes to War"

What happens to those at home when a soldier is deployed? At this seminar/workshop, learn the effects of waiting, enduring the uncertainties, and re-integrating an injured soldier back into family life. Case presentations and clinical material will illustrate the difficulties children and parents face. We will explore new directions for managing and enhancing treatment.

Therapists can expect to learn how spouses and children cope with long separations and reunions. We will discuss how to help families to make the decisions that will be needed to cope with their children’s thoughts and reactions from the deployment through the return of an injured parent. Different models of support and models of community response and

preparedness will be discussed.
