Dr. Jill Model Barth offers us a relatively rare opportunity to join an analyst on a psychoanalytic journey into the intricate world of transference and countertransference enactments in the course of a solid analytic treatment. The treatment process is anchored in object relations theory, and also inspired by the pluralistic innovations of Sandor Ferenczi's interpersonal theory and technique. This paper also offers an opportunity to think with Dr. Barth on the challenges and opportunities a home-based office poses, particularly in the treatment of a complex and emotionally intense case.

Learning Objectives

As a result of attending this course, participants should be able to:

• Recognize how unconscious dynamics interact with countertransference 
• Examine how countertransference enactments occur in psychoanalytic treatment
• Describe ways in which countertransference reactions and enactments can be repaired and enhance the therapeutic process
