Working with the Trailing Edge: Pathological AccommodationIn this workshop George Hagman will present an overview of the clinical challenges posed by the trailing edge of the transference. Many patients fear the repetition of past traumas in relation to the analyst and use self-protective strategies which must be worked through. This workshop will highlight one frequent source of the trailing edge - the pathological accommodation in childhood to a parent with a self-disorder, as described by Bernard Brandchaft. Shelley Doctors will offer a discussion of the ideas, after which we will open up the discussion for all.George Hagman, LCSW, is a clinical social worker and psychoanalyst in private practice in New York City and Stamford, Connecticut.
