Clinical Consultation Group for Psychodynamic Psychotherapists

Psychodynamic psychotherapy is a conversation for the special purpose of helping the
patient/client achieve a complex self-understanding that results in more adaptive and
satisfying relations and behavior with oneself and others. Through the method of
empathic understanding, the therapist can engage the full range of human
development, emotion, patterns of expectation, self-protection and memory, towards the
end of creating conditions for psychological change. Exciting new ways to use this
process to understand and approach clinical work are available and will be discussed in
the peer consult meetings.

This consultation group, led by Charles Jaffe MD faculty member and practitioner-
scholar, allows participants from across the country to present clinical material via
HIPAA compliant Zoom conferencing. The goal of the group discussion is to deepen
our understanding of how to conceptualize the clinical conversation and to understand
how change occurs in this uniquely human exchange.
