Course Description:

Dr. Cooper will be offering an introduction to splitting and projective identification from his ‘play’ standpoint in psychotherapy (a technical concept he has developed over nearly a decade). He can organize these so-called borderline defenses within his play framework. He will include a brief example from his own writings. This will allow the group to think together about mechanisms of these defenses in terms of what they do for a person in an adaptive way.

The second half he has asked for a clinician to present a case of a patient who uses splitting and/or projective identification so that the group can expand on these ideas. Dr. Cooper will facilitate a discussion of the case from this perspective.
