6 Possible Continuing Education Credits Approved for MD, PhD, LCSW, MFT & RN
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.

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.
