This presentation is meant to open a discussion of the impact of tele-health technology on the psychoanalytic process with a particular focus on transference and countertransference. The more hidden and refractory aspects of the psyche seem to be less effectively met in the process of ‘distance’ analysis. While we are aware of the losses ensued by the lack of in-person meetings, are there any gains? Perhaps we are living in the midst of a paradigm shift to what Jungian psychoanalysis is becoming. For clinicians only.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe two ways tele-health has impacted transference/countertransference.
- Describe two benefits of psychoanalysis in the time of Covid.
- Differentiate psychotherapy from psychoanalysis as it is impacted by tele-health technology.
