Three analysts will focus on what is germane to their work with children and adolescents including what makes it "Jungian." They will present clinical examples illustrating theory and concepts that reflect contemporary Jungian approaches to infant, child and adolescent analysis. 
 
LAUREN CUNNINGHAM, MSW, will discuss her work with an 8-year-old boy from a multi-cultural background who struggled with separating from his mother while connecting more with his father to discover his masculine spirit and identity. His symbolic play within the analytic field helped him move through challenges in his life and connect to potent energies within that helped him to engage more creatively in life and with others. 
 
Lauren Cunningham, LCSW, is an adult and child analyst member of the C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco, teaching member of the International Society for Sandplay Therapy and consultant for the Parent Participation Nursery Schools of San Francisco. She practices in San Francisco, is an associate professor at California Institute of Integral Studies and teaches and consults internationally. She was the founding editor of the Journal of Sandplay Therapy. 
 
AUDREY PUNNETT, PHD, will use a case to illustrate the symbolic manifestations of the presenting problem in a 6-year-old boy. His younger sister was born deaf and the symbolic presentation became clear as manifested in the presentation of a tic disorder. The case reflects issues related to symbolic manifestation of a symptom, the transference and countertransference, and how one deals with such issues that arise spontaneously in the work with children.
 
AUDREY PUNNETT, PHD, is a licensed psychologist who holds diplomas in Adult Analytical Psychology and Child and Adolescent Analytical Psychology from the C.G. Jung Institute, Zurich. She is a member of Association of Graduates in Analytical Psychology; the C.G.

Dr. Punnett is an Associate Clinical Professor with UCSF-Fresno and adjunct faculty for Alliant International University. She has published in peer-reviewed journals and lectures nationally and internationally; her book, The Orphan: A Journey to Wholeness was published by Fisher King Press in 2014. She maintains a private practice in Fresno, California.
 
BRIAN FELDMAN, PHD, will focus on the analytic treatment of a male adolescent with sexual identity conflicts, and will demonstrate the development of a coherent/ integrated gay identity that emerged during the course of the analysis. This young man came to analysis utilizing secondary skin function defenses (sexuality and drugs) to hold himself together in the face of primitive/ infantile anxietes related to early attachment trauma. The use of the transference/ countertransference with preverbal/presymbolic mental states, the importance of the infant observation method in understanding these states of mind, and the use of dreams and active imagination to help in the understanding of the symbolic/ archetypal underpinning of identity conflicts in adolescence will be explored. 
 
BRIAN FELDMAN, PHD, trained in clinical psychology at U.C. Berkeley and served as chief psychologist in the Department of Child Psychiatry at Stanford University Medical Center where he was honored with the outstanding teaching award. He is certified in infant, child, adolescent and adult Jungian analysis. He trained as a child and adolescent Jungian analyst in London with Michael Fordham.

This daylong workshop will examine psychological considerations in working with adolescents around their smartphones, computers, and video games: magical thinking, projective identification, and relational avoidance.
 
Morning Session
Faculty: Robert Tyminski, DMH
 
This course will explore many of the intense psychological states often appearing with various uses of technology among late adolescents. We will examine compulsive Internet use and video gaming, each of young men. Two cases will be presented for discussion of the psychic distortions around thinking and feeling, as these occurred in the analysis of a mid-adolescent boy and of another in later adolescence.
 
Facets of technology are now directly brought into our offices through smartphones and tablet computer. How do we handle these when they appear? We will discuss how they can be forms of communication, as well as resistance or refusal to relate to us as a potentially helfpful psychotherapist. Some of the ideas to explore in dialogue with one another will be the effects on relationships-including the therapeutic one-of these technologies. Examples might include magical thinking , an avoidant attitude toward relating, excessive projective identification, and a lack of psychic containment. Immersive use, perhaps even with addictive parts, of cell phones, social media, and the Internet may be bringing into our psychotherapy and analytic practices new kinds of challenges about the therapeutic frame, alliance, and interpersonal communication. Our discussion will also touch upon obvious ways in which using the Internet, social media, and video gaming can be beneficial for connecting with others, for creating new platforms of expression, and for education.
 
ROBERT TYMINSKI, DMH is an adult and child analyst member of the C. G. Jung Institute of San Francisco and its current President; he also teaches in the Institute’s analytic training program. He is a Clinical Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of California at San Francisco.

Afternoon Session: 
Faculty: Patricia Speier, MD
 
Being able to text has become a major rite of passage into adolescence in our culture today, and for most teens, cell phones seem like necessary extensions of themselves. The electronically enhanced world, though, is changing our brains, and how we relate. 
 
We are all participants in the largest brain-changing experiment since the printing press. In this seminar, two cases will be presented in which discussing texts became a major space for reflection and enhanced interpersonal understanding. Other vignettes will examine texting's destructive capabilities, breaking down the development of meaning and how screens effect mood, anxiety, and learning.
