THE EFFICACY OF PSYCHOANALYTIC PSYCHOTHERAPY: A LECTURE AND CLINICAL WORKSHOP

<h2>WCSPP Annual Conference</h2>4 CE CREDITS AVAILABLEKeynote speaker: Jonathan Shedler, PhDModerated by: John Turtz, PhDDr. Shedler will conduct live supervision sessions with Melissa Capozzi, LCSW and Matthew Korner, PsyD<h3>Overview</h3>Psychodynamic therapy is an evidence-based treatment. In the first half of the lecture — based on the internationally acclaimed article, The Efficacy of Psychodynamic Psychotherapy — Dr. Shedler will describe the seven core features of contemporary psychodynamic psychotherapy in clear, jargon-free language.Dr. Shedler will discuss scientific evidence for the benefits of psychodynamic therapy and how it compares to other evidence-based treatments like CBT and antidepressant medication. Dr. Shedler will also describe how the active ingredients of all effective psychotherapies draw on (often unacknowledged) psychodynamic principles, such as enhancing self-knowledge, identifying problematic relationship patterns, and addressing these patterns in the “here and now” of the therapy relationship. The second half of the conference program will have a practical, hands-on clinical focus, building on concepts from Dr. Shedler’s lecture. Participants will develop a deeper understanding of contemporary psychodynamic therapy through clinical case presentations by workshop participants with case discussion, “live” clinical supervision, and role playing to demonstrate clinical interventions. Dr. Shedler will emphasize the role of clinical case formulation as a road map to effective psychodynamic treatment. <h3>Presenters</h3>American psychologist Jonathan Shedler, PHD is known internationally as an author, consultant, and master clinician and teacher, and is the 2021 recipient of IPA’s “Extraordinarily Meritorious Service to the International Psychoanalytic Association” award.
