Panel: Terrie Baker, LCSW, Heather Craige, LCSW, Emory Gross, LCSW, BCD

Presentation: This workshop begins with the viewing of a recording of a renowned psychoanalyst as he interviews a patient (actually, an actress) who expresses her wish for the therapist to acknowledge her feminine attractiveness. The therapist proceeds to demonstrate his technique and manner of responding to this women. Our panelists will provide commentary on the analyst’s response, and offer further thoughts and insights on the challenges of sexual desire within the therapeutic relationship.
