“Silence in Psychotherapy”
A Workshop
Presented by:
Nadine Ghanimeh – Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist
This workshop aims to deepen the understanding of silence as a structural element in the therapeutic process, rather than merely the absence of speech.
It focuses on reading the patient’s silence as a carrier of unconscious meanings, and on using the therapist’s silence as a precise therapeutic intervention within the analytic relationship.
The workshop also seeks to enable participants to link the phenomenon of silence to core psychoanalytic concepts, particularly:
transference, countertransference, defenses, anxiety, and psychic structure, allowing for interventions that are attuned to both the therapeutic stage and the organization of personality.
Interpreting silence from a psychoanalytic perspective
Differentiating patterns of silence and their dynamic meanings
Using silence as a therapeutic intervention tool
Identifying the appropriate moment to intervene versus maintaining silence
Linking silence to psychic structure and the phase of treatment
