Overview
This workshop explores silence as a fundamental component of the therapeutic process rather than merely the absence of speech. Drawing on psychoanalytic theory and clinical practice, participants will examine how silence functions within the therapeutic relationship and how it can serve as both a form of communication and a therapeutic intervention.
The workshop focuses on understanding the patient’s silence as an expression of unconscious processes, emotional experience, conflict, and psychic organization. It also examines the therapist’s use of silence as a deliberate clinical tool that can facilitate reflection, containment, interpretation, and therapeutic change.
Through the exploration of clinical material and psychoanalytic concepts, participants will learn to recognize different forms of silence and understand their significance within various stages of treatment and across different personality structures.
