ANALYTIC COUPLE THERAPY
Chair: Fred Sander, M.D.
IN the time of an ever increasing number of couples and families are seeking therapeutic help and the mission of this group is not just the perpetuation of psychoanalysis but serving the needs of the broader clinical population.
The group will address
(1)how to conduct evaluations of couples to arrive at appropriate treatment modality(ies).
(2)the technical conduct of couple therapy and
(3)the indications, contraindications and complications of concurrent individual and couple treatments

The Chair will provide reading materials which he had used in teaching this subject in various contexts including past electives at Columbia Psychoanalytic and case material will be presented from his clinical work for discussion.

In addition, there are currently forming groups on a number of topics, including Psychoanalysis in China, chaired by Ubaldo Leli and several others that are intended to appeal particularly to candidates and recent graduates on termination, conversion, certification, case writing, and a Journal Club chaired by Ted Kenny. We also encourage peer supervisory groups which are currently running to join the APM RAPS structure.
