Workshop Description: Dr. Atlas will introduce and discuss ideas from her book Emotional Inheritance. She will introduce a relational model for thinking about the ways two subjectivities collude in promoting dissociation and the ways inherited trauma finds shelter and comes to life in the analytic dyad. She will discuss cases to illustrate how patient and analyst enter each other’s inner worlds and discover themselves as participants within each other’s psychic life. The cases will focus on loss and early trauma, the regulation of aggression, as well as the power of analytic love to address the many faces of inherited trauma.
Learning Objectives:
1. Participants will be able to define inherited trauma
2. Participants will be able to explain the term Erotic Reparation
3. Participants will be able to identify the analyst’s dissociation as a defense against her family trauma.
4. Participants will be able to explain the ways emotional inheritance shapes are behavior
5. Participants will be able to give at least one example of how analyst and patient collude in order to avoid pain.
6. Participants will be able to describe the relation between analytic love and regulation of aggression.
