James Hollis, Ph.D.

Session 1: Shadow Issues in the Shared Space of Therapy: Definitions of Shadow and Illustrations

The shadow derives from the recognition of analytic psychology that we have many areas of unconscious life that have the capacity to interfere with the course of therapy. At its core, the shadow constitutes those aspects of the therapist’s personal life, or institutional affiliations, that, when brought to the surface, prove contradictory to her or his intentions, professed values, and training. This program will identify the various aspects of shadow life which the therapist tends not to integrate, or contain, and therefore may spill over on to the patient.

Learning Objectives

Define and provide illustrations of the concept of “the shadow.”
Provide several examples of shadow issues in therapy.
See how large a role counter-therapy issues play in the therapeutic exchange.

Session 2: Shadow Issues in the Shared Space of Therapy: Set-ups for Boundary Violations

This session will provide multiple examples of counter-transferential risks in therapy. It will identify areas where the unaddressed history of the therapist is activated and interferes with the therapy. Together we will explore how the therapist’s own unaddressed needs are present, and may show up in anger, jealousy, envy toward the patient, or the need for approval or inordinate need for conflict management.

Learning Objectives:

Recognize aspects of therapist’s history which may impair the therapeutic relationship.
Explore how the therapists need for approval, or avoidance of conflict, and many other issues may interfere with the therapy.
Explain how counter-transferential issues often recreate the therapist’s family of origin dynamics.
