February 6, 2010
Speaker: Eric Millman, MD
Title: Playing is More Fun Than Talking - The Analysis Of A Ten Year Old Boy
Discussant: Robert King, MD

Child psychoanalysis addresses conflict and defense in the context of the transference. The analyst as transference figure, helps to rework the repetition of internal conflict. At the same time, the child uses the analyst as a new, real and significant person who helps to open up blocked capacities. Both of these processes, analyst as transference figure and analyst as real object, are used in an effort to facilitate progressive development. A significant challenge occurs when the child’s primary mode of communication is nonverbal. This presentation focuses on the clinical work with a deprived 10 year old boy who preferred playing rather than talking.
