Abstract
ABSTRACT Over the past 25 years, the International Psychotherapy Institute (IPI) faculty has been honing its technique for distance learning by listening for unconscious themes emerging in the classroom that resonate with learning resistances or teaching concepts. This coauthored paper describes an online, child and adolescent psychoanalytic psychotherapy training program coordinated by IPI and Jiandanxinli, offered by Western faculty to Chinese psychotherapists-in-training. An IPI child analytic faculty member collaborated with two Chinese course participants to study the cross-cultural meanings of teaching, presenting, and consulting. This independent research project unearthed new understandings about the challenges, strengths, and limitations of online, translation-dependent learning. Additionally, the article underscores the importance of embracing an ethical stance and cultural humility when teaching child therapy to students from different cultures.
期刊介绍:
The Psychoanalytic Study of the Child is recognized as a preeminent source of contemporary psychoanalytic thought. Published annually, it focuses on presenting carefully selected and edited representative articles featuring ongoing analytic research as well as clinical and theoretical contributions for use in the treatment of adults and children. Initiated in 1945, under the early leadership of Anna Freud, Kurt and Ruth Eissler, Marianne and Ernst Kris, this series of volumes soon established itself as a leading reference source of study. To look at its contributors is to be confronted with the names of a stellar list of creative, scholarly pioneers who willed a rich heritage of information about the development and disorders of children and their influence on the treatment of adults as well as children. An innovative section, The Child Analyst at Work, periodically provides a forum for dialogue and discussion of clinical process from multiple viewpoints.
