SUMMARY:Client Engagement with AI: Ethical and Symbolic Considerations from a Depth Psychological Perspective - Presented by Nadia Thalji\, PhD [Class]
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”12986″ img_size=”medium” css=””][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]NARRATIVE \nAs clients increasingly engage with artificial intelligence (AI) platforms for emotional guidance\, self-reflection\, and meaning-making\, clinicians are encountering new forms of clinical material that raise ethical\, symbolic\, and relational challenges. This continuing education seminar examines how clinicians can respond thoughtfully and ethically when clients bring AI-generated content into psychotherapy. Grounded in depth psychology\, and relational ethics\, the seminar explores how client engagement with AI may function symbolically\, concretely\, or defensively\, including its role as a third object\, idealized authority\, or symbolic equation. Emphasis is placed on maintaining the therapeutic frame\, supporting symbolic thinking\, and preserving client agency and reflective functioning. Clinical vignettes will be used to illustrate assessment and intervention strategies. Participants will learn how to use countertransference and ethical discernment to guide clinical responses that restore symbolic mediation and support psychological depth in the context of emerging technologies.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]LEARNING OBJECTIVES \nUpon completion of this workshop\, participants should be able to: \n\nList at least two common ways clients engage with AI and introduce AI-generated material into psychotherapy.\nDifferentiate symbolic engagement from concrete reliance by correctly categorizing at least two clinical examples of client–AI interaction.\nIdentify at least two ethical considerations related to client use of AI in psychotherapy practice.\nApply a depth psychological formulation to at least one case vignette involving client–AI interaction\, including a statement of possible clinical meaning.\nDescribe two countertransference reactions and explain how each could inform an intervention with a client using AI.\nFormulate one clinically appropriate intervention that addresses AI-related material while maintaining therapeutic boundaries.\nDemonstrate one intervention that promotes symbolic thinking or reflective functioning in response to a client presenting AI-generated content.\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]COURSE OUTLINE—4 hours \n9:00 – 10:15 am  \n     Overview of client engagement with AI.

Content Curriculum.  \nContent Curriculum: \n\nThis continuing education seminar explores how clinicians can ethically and clinically respond when clients bring AI-generated material into psychotherapy. Grounded in depth psychology and relational ethics\, the course focuses on preserving symbolic thinking\, clinical boundaries\, and reflective functioning. \nThe program content is grounded in peer-reviewed psychoanalytic\, depth psychological\, relational\, and ethical literature. Although AI technologies are continuously evolving\, the seminar strictly focuses on applying established clinical principles that are highly relevant to current psychological practice. \nThis seminar is intended for licensed mental health professionals\, including psychologists\, psychotherapists\, social workers\, and advanced trainees. The instructional level is intermediate to advanced. \nThe course material is specifically designed to enhance a clinician’s ethical discernment and clinical judgment. Acknowledged limitations include the rapidly evolving nature of AI technologies; to address this\, the course emphasizes broad\, enduring conceptual frameworks over the use of specific\, transient tools or platforms.\nThe seminar recognizes that there are cultural\, socioeconomic\, generational\, and contextual differences in how clients engage with technology. The clinical examples used throughout the course reflect diverse populations and place an emphasis on culturally responsive practice.\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]BIO: \nDr. Nadia Thalji\, PhD is a licensed clinical psychologist in private practice\, faculty member at Antioch University\, and founder of Intercultural Psychology\, a platform for culturally attuned clinical training.

SUMMARY:The Patient Who Wouldn’t Be: The Clinical Problem of Patients Who Lack Interest in their Own Experience - Presented by Kristian Kemtrup\, PhD\, LMFT [Class]
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”12985″ img_size=”medium” css=””][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]NARRATIVE \nThere is a class of patients who can be difficult to treat because they present as having an absence of interest in their own subjective experience. In a way these are patients who have difficulty being patients. More generally\, they have difficulty experiencing or living in what Winnicott (1954) refers to as “going on being\,” a healthy flow of emotions and creative impulses that create internal vitality and the basis of thoughtful\, meaningful engagement with others and the world. These patients do not present as having a problem that Killingmo (1989) would refer to as either an “internal conflict” or a “deficit\,”nor do they seem to suffer from trauma\, dissociation\, or emotions that are overwhelming. They are neither emotionally dammed up nor emotionally flooded. Rather\, they report a problem of being relatively “emotionally arid” and are authentically unclear if this is a problem for them or only for those around them. This talk discusses how such patients’ problems can be better understood psychoanalytically\, paying particular attention to how their problems may be related to developmental histories that are superficially good enough but where caregivers were “soul blind” (Novick and Novick 2022) or unable to be curious about and receptive to their child’s emotions. Finally\, we will discuss some ideas on how to proceed in treating them derived from the work of  Ogden (2025) and also Goldberg (2025).[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]LEARNING OBJECTIVES \nUpon completion of this workshop\, participants should be able to: \n\nDifferentiate among intrapsychic conflict\, deficits in emotional containment\, and impairments in the capacity to experience continuous emotional being (“going-on-being”)\nDefine the term “soul blind” as a description for some parents and how absence of interest in a child’s mind during development is often described by such adult patients who have difficulty “becoming patients.”\nDefine the construct “soul blindness” in caregiving and explain how a caregiver’s lack of interest in a child’s mental life during development may contribute to later difficulties engaging in the patient’s role in psychotherapy.\nDefine and identify 2 clinical challenges of applying traditional interpretive interventions or affect-containment strategies to patients who are neither intrapsychically conflicted nor affectively overwhelmed but instead present with emotional constriction or aridity.\nDescribe the importance of orienting the patient to “the frame” and psychotherapeutic neutrality for generating here and now interest in the patient’s internal world. \nDescribe three areas of convergence and divergence\, and identify two questions for further clinical inquiry\, among emotionally constricted patients\, individuals identifying as high functioning or mild autism\, patients presenting with alexithymic features\, and those conceptualized as occupying the autistic–contiguous position.\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]COURSE OUTLINE—4 hours \n9:00 – 10:00 am \n     Identifying “Patients Who Will Not Be” \n10:00 – 10:45 am \n     The Confusing Severity and Impossibility of The Problem \n10:45 – 11:00 am \n     BREAK \n11:00 – 11:45 am \n     Fragments of Three Cases \n11:45 am – 1:00 pm \n     Use of Reverie in The Treatment \n     Open Reflection[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Content Curriculum: \n\nThis workshop will expand the participant’s knowledge about how to deal with a complex clinical situation that is not easily dealt with using ordinary psychodynamic clinical techniques\nThe knowledge the participant gains will enhance their clinical work by helping them to identify a clinical problem that is not easily treatable by standard technique and that can be difficult to diagnose psychodynamically. Avenues for further study of these patients will be pointed out as scientifically and clinically important.\nThe target audience is everyone who is working clinically in the mental health field.  The concepts will be explained simply enough so that they will be accessible to participants who are beginners in the field\, as well as those with advanced knowledge.\nThe content is based on books and articles which have been published by seminal psychodynamic authors theorizing based on their clinical cases and case studies\, including a larger set of cases treating adolescents. Tentative hypotheses about the etiology of some clinical problems can be derived from these cases\, and avenues for nomological study\, ie randomized control trials\, will be suggested but have not been conducted.\nThe clinical approach presented can be applied to all clients\, independent of culture\, gender\, sexual orientation or other identities. The cases selected for discussion and in the relevant materials reflect diverse populations. Particular attention will be paid to exploring whether cultural differences effect what counts to patients as a problem that stands in need of help or treatment.\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]BIO: \nKristian Kemtrup\, PhD\, LMFT is a psychoanalytic psychotherapist in private practice in Albany\, California.

SUMMARY:Interpretation in the Clinical Moment: The Modern Kleinian Approach to Working Through the Psychoanalytic Process - Presented by Robert Waska MFT\, LPCC\, PhD [Class]

The patient’s internal object relational struggles are highlighted\, explored\, and challenged with supportive interpretation with a focus on transference\, countertransference\, and containment throughout the working through process. \nThe consistent exploration of unconscious phantasy is highlighted as the bedrock of psychoanalytic intervention. Transference is the externalization and direct expression of internal phantasy onto the analyst.  Transference is an essential aspect of the treatment\, but not always available to work with. Ongoing extra-transference associations are usually present for the analyst to follow and interpret instead and often easier for the patient to understand and engage with. Interpretation of phantasy\, transference\, and extra-transference encourages the working through process. The theoretical basis of interpretation will be explored and case material will demonstrate how transference\, phantasy\, and extra-transference are often all present in every session.  The material shows how to best choose what and when to interpret.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]LEARNING OBJECTIVES \nAt the conclusion of this program\, participants will be able to: \n\n   Describe the ways Modern Kleinians work with interpretation\n   Name the three phases of working though in the psychoanalytic process\n   Understand the use of countertransference and the application of containment when interpreting\n   Define the differences between phantasy\, transference\, and extra-transference\n   Describe the clinical importance of extra-transference interpretations\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]COURSE OUTLINE—4 hours \n10:00 – 11:00 am \nRobert Waska will read a paper highlighting the issues of interpretation from a Kleinian perspective \n11:00 – 11:45 am \nAudience discussion/questions \n11:45 am – 12:00 pm \nBreak \n12:00 – 1:15 pm \nRobert Waska will read a second paper continuing to highlight interpretation in the psychoanalytic situation \n1:15 – 2:00 pm \nAudience discussion/questions \n2:00 pm \nEnd of Conference[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Content Curriculum: \n\nThe participant will know more about making interpretations to patients using a psychoanalytic and Kleinian viewpoint.\nParticipant will have more information on how to offer their patient helpful interpretations during moments of conflict.\nThe material is helpful for introductory students as well as advanced audiences.\nThe first paper has been published previously and the second paper is currently being reviewed for publication. \nThe clinical approach and theoretical positions presented apply to all patients.\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]BIO: \nRobert Waska LPCC\, MFT\, PhD\, is a graduate in Psychoanalysis from the Institute for Psychoanalytic Studies and was a full analytic member of the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis.

SUMMARY:Lying on the Couch: Shame\, Guilt and Deception in the Clinical Hour - Presented by Mark Edwards\, LMFT [Class]

Rather than viewing dishonesty as simple resistance\, noncompliance\, or willful manipulation\, this seminar approaches deception as a complex clinical communication shaped by shame\, guilt\, fear\, attachment needs\, and underlying pathogenic beliefs. \nDrawing on contemporary research in psychotherapeutic treatment\, moral psychology\, and clinical process studies\, this training provides practitioners with a theoretical framework and practical toolkit for recognizing\, understanding\, and therapeutically addressing dishonesty in therapeutic work. The course provides clinicians with a coherent framework for understanding why clients and supervisees conceal\, distort\, or omit information – and how these behaviors function to manage perceived interpersonal danger. Participants will explore how shame-based and guilt-based conflicts contribute to deceptive behavior\, including efforts to protect valued relationships\, avoid anticipated judgment\, or test the safety of authority figures. \nExamining the origins of guilt and shame and the role that they play in deception\, this presentation will focus on manifestations of deception in clinical work\, substance use recovery and clinical supervision.

The seminar emphasizes applied theory\, supervisory decision-making\, and refinement of clinical judgment.\nThe content is directly relevant to the practice of psychotherapy and clinical supervision across diverse treatment settings. It is grounded in established psychological theory and supported by empirical research examining therapeutic process and effectiveness over several decades.\nThis program is aimed at practicing clinicians and will be useful in the supervision of master’s and pre and post-Doctoral interns. It will be delivered at the intermediate/advanced level.\nThe program is based upon the published works of multiple experts in the field of psychotherapy and on the clinical practice of the presenter. Limitations are minimal and the most common risk is misinterpretation of the material or misapplication of the techniques presented. These risks are addressed through careful attention to case context.\nThis program reflects an appreciation for diverse populations and acknowledges the influence of cultural\, individual\, and role differences on psychological development and therapeutic process. Case material and research draw from clients of varied cultural backgrounds\, and the seminar addresses how systemic stressors\, cultural context\, clinician identity\, and power differentials may shape the development of shame and guilt along with the development of deceptive practices. Cross-cultural research from U.S. and international sources is incorporated to support culturally responsive practice. \n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]BIO: \nMark Edwards\, MFT is a psychotherapist\, trainer\, teacher and consultant.
