Working with Survivor Siblings in Psychoanalysis:
Ability and Disability in Clinical Process

Seminar Description:

Johanna Dobrich explores the impact of dissociative coping on the "survivor siblings" within multi-sibling families where one or more sibling has a serious disability that includes persistent medical and developmental features, the omission of both generative and trauma informed sibling experience within our psychoanalytic cannon and practice, and how the incorporation of these lateral dimensions of life may enhance healing, creativity, and clinical practice. A model for addressing experience which has been unspeakable / unknowable is articulated.
