Conversation: The Therapist’s Grief: Beyond Mourning and Melancholia.


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:

  1. 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.
  2. The attendees will be able to look at the field of mourning and bereavement in the context of the therapist-patient relationship.
  3. The attendees will be able to explore the concepts of the disavowal and middle distance.
