In this gathering, we offer ourselves a window into how therapists’ attachment to their patients and to their work, alongside their private lives and personal relationships, affects their experience of loss and grief in one question - What happens when a patient dies? How is our mourning complicated by the idiosyncrasies of our work?
Course Objectives:
- The attendees will be able to investigate the challenges that make it difficult for therapists to directly address the feelings generated by the multitude of losses we experience.
- The attendees will be able to look at the field of mourning and bereavement in the context of the therapist-patient relationship.
- The attendees will be able to explore the concepts of the disavowal and middle distance.
