Join us for a conversation exploring one of psychoanalysis’s more challenging phenomena: the therapist’s experience of anger toward patients. This discussion will examine how countertransference anger—possibly characterized by feelings of guilt, confusion, or shame—can serve as both obstacle and instrument in therapeutic work. Participants are encouraged to bring case examples for discussion.

Course Objectives:
1. Participants will be able to define circumstances that evoke reactions, such as the provocative patient who seems determined to frustrate treatment, the relentless negativities that challenge our therapeutic resolve, or the subtle enactments that leave us feeling angry.
2. Participants will be able to discuss how anger in the countertransference can reveal crucial information about the patient’s internal world and relational patterns.
3. Participants will be able to distinguish between our own unresolved conflicts and legitimate responses to patient behavior.

Facilitators: Thomas Grace, PsyD,
�and Erica Palmer, LPC
Place: In Person at
655 Pomander Walk,
Teaneck, NJ 07666
Date: Sunday, November 9, 2025
Time: 11:00 am to 1:00 pm
