PSPP Sunday Brunch Series
Presenter: David Wilson, M.Ed.
David Wilson is a psychologist in private practice who works with
adolescents, adults, and families.
Objectives: Upon completion of this workshop, participant will have:
- Increased knowledge about the effects of patient substance abuse on the
analytic relationship.
- Increased competence in maintaining the frame with substance abusing
patients.
- Increased knowledge of psychoanalytically-relevant techniques to address
patient substance abuse.
Psychoanalytic interest in alcoholism and drug abuse has extended from Freud
and his inner circle to the present day. Both Freud and Jung were reported to
have treated active addicts, and the two corresponded on Jung’s treatment of
one. Many contemporary psychoanalysts accept patients who have, or have had,
substance abuse problems into treatment, sometimes learning of these problems
only after the patients are accepted. Although some substance-abusing patients
may come to sessions intoxicated or demonstrating sequellae of intoxication,
psychoanalytic literature on the treatment of substance abusing patients rarely,
if ever, addresses this challenging situation. This presentation will explore
theoretical and technical considerations involved in working with substance
abusing and intoxicated patients. Recommended reading: Berthelsdorf, S. (1976).
