Description

Dr. Celenza will read several essays from her recent book Transference, Love, Being: Essential Essays from the Field (Routledge, 2022). The first essay sets the background context involving Dr. Celenza' s theorizing on the place of love and receptivity in analytic work. The second essay will discuss the use of embodied countertransference and will be read in short excerpts to maximize audience participation throughout. The final essay will present a field theory approach to clinical process. After each reading, there will be time allotted for discussion with the audience for a lively interactive experience throughout.
