NCP and TFP New York present Transference-Focused Psychotherapy (TFP): Scientific Meeting

Diana Diamond, PhD, will discuss her innovative work in using transference-focused psychotherapy (TFP) to treat a broad range of patients with personality disorders, highlighting pathological narcissism.

TFP is a contemporary object relations approach to assessing and treating patients with personality disorders. Participants will be introduced to the basic tenets of TFP, such as use of a treatment contract, naming players in a dominant object relation, and identifying and working with how these object relational dyads help to contribute to typical transference/countertransference patterns and resistances encountered with narcissistic patients. 

Learning Objectives

After attending this program, participants should be able to:

• Describe the contemporary object relations model of assessment and treatment in TFP    
• Explain the basic tactics and techniques of TFP and how they have been refined for treatment of patients with pathological narcissism
• Describe the major transferences and countertransference patterns and modes of resistance that emerge in psychoanalytic psychotherapy with narcissistic patients
• Predict how the insecure and disorganized attachment representations that underlie the narcissistic patient’s difficulties with self and interpersonal functioning affect the treatment process

 

Diana Diamond, PhD, is a clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst who specializes in theory, research, and treatment of borderline and narcissistic personality disorders. She is Professor Emerita in the Doctoral Program in Clinical Psychology at the City University of New York and Senior Fellow at the Personality Disorders Institute at New York Presbyterian Hospital-Weill Cornell Medical College. She is also on the faculty of the New York Psychoanalytic Society and Institute, the NYU Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis, and the New School for Social Research.
