    1. Psychoanalytic Family Therapy Psy 660 Gary S. Katz, Ph.D.

    2. Role Play #1 – “Pre” - Discussion Review the case material of Mr. and Mrs. B on page 246 of the text. What are some of the possible hidden motivations, wishes, and fears that each partner brings to the marriage? Describe the reciprocal process of projective identification that may be occurring. Projective Identification: a defense mechanism that operates unconsciously whereby unwanted aspects of the self are attributed to another person and that person is induced to behave in accordance with these projected attitudes and feelings.

    3. Role Play #1 Break up into groups of 5 or 6. Two therapists (tag team) Two patients (Mr. and Mrs. B) One or two observers Use the techniques of listening (to establish an analytic atmosphere), expressing empathic understanding (helping the spouses open up), and making interpretations to clarify the process of projective identification and/or the incomplete resolution of separation/individuation. Observers are to provide feedback regarding these techniques

    4. Role Play #1 – “Post” - Discussion Were the interpretations on target? What were the couples’ experiences of the therapists’ interventions? Which were experienced as helpful? Which interventions detoured the therapeutic process? How successful was the therapist in bypassing or overcoming the couple’s resistance?

    5. Role Play #2 – “Pre” - Discussion Review the case material about Mr. and Mrs. Z on page 258-259. How might one confront resistance in therapy with Mr. and Mrs. Z? Empathic listening Use of clarifying statements and uncovering questions Early identification and interpretation

    6. Role Play #2a Break up into groups of 5 or 6. Two therapists (tag team) Mr. and Mrs. Z One or two observers Therapist is to demonstrate ineffective techniques for dealing with client resistance.

    7. Role Play #2a – “Post” - Discussion What made the interventions ineffective? Which interventions seemed least effective in alleviating client resistance and promoting engagement in treatment? How did Mr. and Mrs. Z respond to the therapists ineffective interventions?

    8. Role Play #2b Shuffle participants among groups; new roles, too. This time, the therapist should demonstrate an approach which effectively addresses the couples’ resistance in treatment.

    9. Role Play #2b “Post” - Discussion How did Role Play 2a differ from Role Play 2b? What was it about the therapists interventions the second time around that made the therapist more effective than the first time around?
