New York State Society for Clinical Social Work Metropolitan Chapter Committee on Family and Couple Therapy with The Advanced Clinical Education Foundation of the NYSSCSW Presents:

CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS IN TREATING THE ADOPTED CLIENT

Program Description

The majority of treatment failures with adopted clients often lie in the clinician’s inexperience and/or lack of understanding of the esoteric psychological and psychodynamic world of the adoptee. Observation and reported previous therapeutic experiences by adopted clients demonstrate the lack of such essential knowledge and its effect on treatment approaches which can too often determine the success or hindrance of therapeutic outcomes.

In this workshop, Mr. Glintz, LCSW/BCD will present an overview of the historical and theoretical perspectives on adoption. He will discuss the myths vs. realities of being adopted, the concept of “primal wound” and the “fracture” model. By providing case vignettes, he will illustrate how he uses these concepts as a treatment guide and tool as he addresses the adoptee’s resistance, transference as well as his own countertransference.
