Adele Kaufman, MSW
Training and Supervising Analyst;
Child and Adolescent Supervising Analyst
Chicago Institute for Psychoanalysis

Discussant: Carol Austad, M.D. 
Instructor, Child/Adolescent Psychoanalysis, MPI
Adult and Child/Adolescent Psychoanalyst

The purpose of this clinical presentation is to discuss the unconscious psychodynamic implications of failure to thrive in a three year old girl.  Because this child was unusually communicative, both verbally and non-verbally, and imaginative, this case offered a unique opportunity to distinguish between her life-threatening symptoms and her underlying psychological problems.

Saturday, May 17, 2007
2-4 pm
4448 East Hall, University of Michigan
Ann Arbor
(corner of Church Street and South University Avenue)
