Abstract
Jerome S. Blackman M.D., F.A.P.A. 1 1 Center for Psychoanalytic Studies, Eastern Virginia Medical School, Norfolk, VA; Naval Medical Center, Portsmouth, VA; New York Freudian Society, Washington, DC Psychodynamic techniques of confrontation, clarification, and interpretation were taught to psychiatry residents during "live" analytic psychotherapy interviews. First, during a therapeutic interview with a resident's patient in a seminar group setting, the interviewer (author) periodically stopped to discuss formulations and technique. Later, the author conducted the interviews until dynamic intervention seemed indicated; at those points, the author stopped, discussed the defenses and affects causing pathology, and then asked a resident to make the psychodynamic intervention with the patient. This teaching technique was rated by the residents as extremely helpful in integrating psychoanalytic theory with clinical interventions. Note: The author thanks Dr. Benjamin Carey, Cpt., MC, USN, Chair of Psychiatry, Naval Medical Center, Portsmouth, VA, for allowing him to use this material. The author also thanks Drs. Michael Oaks, Edward Simmer, Mary Rusher, Robert Braswell, and Ann Karnitschnig for participating in this pilot program.Preview Only.
