    Topic: Finding Inspiration in the Clinical Hour

    Presenter: Gavin Mullen, PsyD

    Gavin Mullen, PsyD, is a member and former officer of the Chicago Psychoanalytic Society.  She is a training and supervising analyst on the faculty of the Chicago Psychoanalytic Institute and Board Certified by The American Psychoanalytic Association.  She has served on the editorial boards of the International Journal of Psychoanalysis and the American Journal of Psychoanalysis - and also on the Certification Board of the American Psychoanalytic Association.  Dr. Mullen edited The Selected Papers of Arnold Goldberg (IPBooks, 2017).  She maintains a fulltime practice in Northbrook, IL, as a psychoanalyst and clinical psychologist.


    Description:  Gavin Mullen, PsyD, will describe several clinical moments that required something beyond technique. She calls them moments of inspiration. Where does this come from, the psychotherapist's inspiration? When we make our interventions with our patients, we draw on our own training, our knowledge of technique, as well as our own good internal objects and receptive states of mind. Dr. Mullen will explore these areas that contribute to inspired interventions, as well as moments when inspiration fails. She will invite the audience members to join with her in searching into each clinical vignette and finding their own sources of inspiration.

     

    Learning Objectives:

    At the conclusion of the presentation, attendees will be able to:

    1. recognize moments that call for an intervention beyond technique;
    2. describe possible interventions that can be used in such situations.
