Jung on Saturdays Webinar Series 15
2022-05-05 @ 20:30 - 22:00
The seminar will be focused on Michael Fordham’s contributions to the technique and practice of Analytical Psychology.
Dr. Feldman will present his own experience working with Fordham over a 10-year period in London, and the impact that it had upon his own practice of child, adolescent and adult analysis. Fordham often stated that the experience of infant observation was of paramount importance for the development of an analytical attitude towards working with infantile/primitive mental states and early attachment trauma.
He developed the idea of the syntonic countertransference as a fundamental way in which we understand early pre-verbal states of mind. This involves the analyst’s use of their countertransference in the intersubjective matrix of analysis as a means of understanding these early states of mind and affect in the analysand.

He obtained additional training at the Society of Analytical Psychology, London, where he trained in the developmental Jungian tradition with Michael Fordham and Judith Hubback. His experience in London led him to the intensive study of infant observation (Esther Bick Method), and the practice and study of Jungian child and adolescent analysis. For over ten years Dr. Feldman worked with Jungian child/adolescent analyst Mara Sidoli developing programs in infant observation and child, adolescent, and adult analysis in the U.S. and Europe which integrated the Jungian approach with attachment theory and the British school of object relations.
