Course Description:

Discussions of the concept of resistance are predicated on understanding that almost all instances of resistance are based upon real, imagined, or anticipated pain, which the patient (wisely) wishes to avoid. Our mission is to help students understand that this process is to be expected, therefore, we are not to judge our patients, and help students to understand the concept sufficiently so that they can help their patients learn to recognize, respect, and eventually overcome their resistance and thus, be able to analyze it, with us acting as their co-pilot in this mutual endeavor.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR:

Daphne Lin Chang is a licensed professional counselor and certified psychoanalyst. She is a faculty member at NJI and the Institute of Counseling and Psychoanalytic Studies.

Objectives:

We will study the concepts of ego defense in relation to the therapeutic resistance, and examine the manifestations of resistance in and out of the consulting room. The course will begin with Freud’s conceptualizations of repression, transference, topographical theory, ego defense analysis, and character analysis. We will also explore the clinical techniques, and interventions in the current pluralistic psychoanalytic field.

• The candidates will be able to define resistance in classical psychoanalysis as well as in contemporary relational, intersubjective theories.
• The candidates will be able to demonstrate their knowledge of character analysis, defense analysis and their clinical applications of analyzing resistance.
• The candidates will be able to list clinical appearance of resistance.
• The candidates will be able to identify the ego defense, transference, and countertransference in the analytic dyad.
• The candidates will be able to explain the significance of resistance analysis and the interventions/techniques in their clinical cases
