Stephen Mitchell, distinguished psychoanalyst, author, and editor, is the speaker at our annual Fall Workshop.  From his own clinical experiences, and from lectures and meaningful encounters around the US, Dr. Mitchell has discussed problems which all clinicians face regarding feeling-- such as self-pity, guilt, dread, and even romance.  Finding that relationships to others has always been central to the clinical practice of psychoanalytic psychotherapy, at this workshop Mitchell will address those real life problems presented in the daily clinical crucible, but which have been written about abstractly in all psychoanalytic traditions.  These abstractions can prevent the therapist from appreciating that they know much more than any conceptual framework can possibly hold, and can also interfere with authentic therapist-patient, therapist-therapist dialogue.  Mitchell presents us with an urgency; can we examine what our patients dread, what we as therapists dread, and what we dread about placing our competing psychoanalytic theories in genuine dialogue with one another?
