A paradigm shift: It isn’t a defense. A simple idea with complex ramifications

Clinicians are often still stuck in the definitions that they were taught in graduate school and other modalities of what a defense is and how it gets in the way of psychotherapeutic work. This workshop will help the clinician make the paradigm shift from defenses to the AIP perspective of maladaptive memory networks which protect other, more vulnerable, memory networks. By doing so, the clinician will have a stronger case conceptualization, reduce his/her own counter-transference, and improve the quality and speed of the work that is done.
