2.75 CME/CPE/CEU credits
“Unkind cutting back” is a “micro-traumatic” way of relating in which one person
in a significant relationship withdraws, but only partially, from the other. The
individual withdrawn from is made to feel insecure, deprived, and/or betrayed by
the other’s unilateral, unexpected retreat. The problem is compounded by a subtle
proscription against naming and exploring the act’s hurtful elements. Dr.
Crastnopol will focus on cutbacks in the frequency of sessions within the analytic
relationship, a move that is often instigated by one member and resisted by the
other. The analytic challenge is to avoid being thrown off course by the narcissistic
strains associated with the bid to cutback, and to learn how to harness the ensuing
exploration for maximal therapeutic advantage.
Following Dr. Crastnopol’s presentation of her paper, Jo Hoffman M.D. will present
aspects of an analysis that was ultimately successfully terminated, after repeated
struggles around “unkind cutting back”.
