Instructor:  This course will be taught by Paul Geltner, LCSW, DSW, who has been practicing, teaching, and consulting on psychoanalysis for over 40 years. 

The learning objectives for this course will be:

1. To understand the overall concept of transference as an expression of earlier life experience that is unconscious, involuntary, and repetitive.

2. To understand how transferences in the narcissistic mode repeat the patient’s self states from the earliest periods of life.

3. To understand how transferences in the analytic relationship can express defenses that arose in life in ways that shape current relationships.

4. To understand how transferences in the object relational mode repeat pathogenic experiences with differentiated other people in the analytic relationship.

5. To understand how transferences in the anaclitic mode repeat the experiences of unmet maturational needs in the analytic relationship in a way that allows them to be met symbolically in the present.
