THE TREATMENT OF ADOLESCENTS
AND YOUNG ADULTS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Weekly Consultaton Group
Led by Mary Brady, Ph.D. and Robert Tyminski, D.M.H.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The treatment of adolescent and young adult patients is
especially challenging, given the developmental upheavals of
the period, which can often result in bodily based
psychopathologies (e.g. eating disorders, cutting, substance
abuse).  Nevertheless, this period of emotional unrest can
create opportunities for significant psychological growth,
especially when an adolescent or young adult is in treatment.

In this group we plan to study the key psychological events of
adolescence through a variety of lenses.  We will read a
number of classic and contemporary thinkers such as Anne
Alvarez, Antonino Ferro, Henri Rey, and D.W. Winnicott. We
will spend time on several cornerstone psychoanalytic papers
about adolescence, and we will then explore questions about
therapeutic action, group interventions, clinical supervision,
and interacting with parents. Throughout the year, we will
alternate between theory and case presentations. Our clinical
discussions will have a process orientation, as the group
develops its own ways of thinking together.

The group will meet:

Days: Mondays from 12:00 to 1:15 p.m.
Start Date:
September 8, 2008
End Date: June 8, 2009
Location: 3159 Sacramento St.
(between Baker and Lyon)
San Francisco, CA

Fee: $45/ meeting

This course will be submitted for CE credit through SFCP, there will be
an administrative charge paid to SFCP for CE credits.
Requirements:  Completion of graduate or medical degree.

For questions about joining this consultation group,
please contact:

Tyminski at 552-1747 (Robert.Tyminski@ucsf.edu)

afternoon. The instructor will
provide guided meditation and
instruction. The focus will not
be on art technique, but rather
on cultivating a forgiving and
opening relationship with your
heart and expressing it
through art.


All art materials are provided.
