Analytic Love, Self-Compassion and the Growth of Internal Secure Attachment

7-9pm: (CST): ZOOM Presentation & Discussion

About the presentation: Drawing on the work of Ferenczi and Clara Thompson, the author reviews their and his own reflections on analytic love. While previously framing his understanding of analytic love around the qualities of the analyst that foster healing and growth, Shaw will describe his current focus on how the analyst helps patients find and use their innate potential for self-compassion. In this model, the patient's self-compassion is a crucial therapeutic agent and is the vehicle for the development of newly established internal secure attachment.

Daniel Shaw, LCSW, is a psychoanalyst in  private practice in New York City and in  Nyack, New York; and Faculty and Supervisor  at The National Institute for the Psychotherapies in New York. His papers  have appeared in Psychoanalytic Inquiry, Contemporary Psychoanalysis, Psychoanalytic Perspectives and Psychoanalytic Dialogues, and most recently, his book, Traumatic Narcissism: Relational Systems of Subjugation, was published by Routledge for the Relational Perspectives Series and nominated for the prestigious Gradiva Award. His book Traumatic Narcissism and Recovery: Leaving the Prison of Shame and Fear was published in 2021. In 2018, the International Cultic Studies Association awarded Dan the Margaret Thaler Singer Award for advancing the understanding of coercive persuasion and undue influence.
