Talking about Medication: On the Use of Medication during Psychoanalytic Treatment
 presenter: Robert Glick
discussants: Larry Sandberg, Wendy Olesker 		 Educational objectives:
1) to demonstrate the countertransferentially-weighted reluctance of analysts to consider medication-related discourse as analytic material (loss of curiosity among analysts working with concurrent therapies) as a result of:
a) an idealizing transference to psychoanalysis on the part of the analyst, and conflict about betraying convictions that psychoanalysis represents a real treatment, by use of medication,
b) forbidden pleasures, i.e. administration of drugs as both a boundary violation, and a violation of analytic abstinence,
c) a fear of doing harm, particularly difficulty tolerating inflicting medication-related side-effects on patients.
