Course Description: This eight-week continuous clinical seminar’s central aim is to study the analytic process through case presentation and discussion in class. This term, we try to pay special attention to listening within the transference. The concept of transference, the essential psychoanalytic concept, tends to be nebulous, ambiguous, and multidimensional and needs much clarification. In his classical paper, Brian Bird (1972) referred to transference as a universal phenomenon and the most challenging part of the analysis. Different psychoanalytic schools have different notions of transference. To help facilitate our clinical discussions, I have prepared a reading list on transference and analytic listening within the transference. While we will touch upon the reading, we do not want the reading to be a “resistance” to getting into the case material. So, the assignments are there as a guide with the hopes that it exposes you to some material that can help further facilitate thinking and reflecting on the clinical material and our discussions.
