Psychodynamics as an Anchor: Navigating Personal, Social, and Political Turmoil in Clinical Treatment 

Presented by Loan Vo, PhD, LISW-S

November 2, 2024

10 am to 12 pm ET
via Zoom

Clients and clinicians alike are not immune from anxieties and conflicts in the interpersonal, social, and political world. In this presentation, Loan Vo will use multiple case vignettes to demonstrate the utility of psychodynamics in managing affective intensity and describe working through internal and external turmoil. She will also share “seasoned clinician’s notes,” or lessons learned, from the analysis of transference and countertransference dynamics in cross-cultural dyads.
