Is it realistic to pursue personality change as a treatment goal? I propose that the foundation of our personality emerges from a pre-drive/object relations phase of development, a core psyche, which leaves an indelible mark on all future development. While this mark falls somewhere between a positive-negative orientation depending upon the neonatal-caregiver fit and its impact can be somewhat mitigated by subsequent psychic development, our core psyche remains essentially immutable. Identifying and addressing aspects of the core psyche pose unique challenges for the clinician and our patients. In this presentation, I will offer a conceptual framework for the genesis of a core psyche, the unique clinical issues that emerge from it as well as some clinical material reflecting my approach to working with patients in this area.
Learning Objectives:
1. Participants will be able to describe the origins and characteristics of the core psyche and its relationship to subsequent psychic development.
2. Participants will be able to describe potential strategies to assess and intervene with psychopathology associated with the core psyche.
