Secrets in Psychotherapy: Listening for Hidden Stories that Shape Lives and Impact Treatment
Presenter: Kathryn J. Zerbe, MD, FAED, FABP
Summary of Workshop: Despite their ubiquity in life and in clinical practice, secrets and secret keeping as a topic receives limited attention in training. This presentation brings together contemporary perspectives from psychodynamic treatment, advances in cognitive science, medicine, and neuroscience to guide the practitioner in working with secrets that emerge during psychoanalysis or psychotherapy. Special emphasis is given to the unsuspected, and often detrimental, aftereffects of what is “hidden, but in plain sight” in relationships and to the body. When a coverup or covert stories come to light, they affect therapists and analysts as well as our patients. Attention to somatic countertransference reactivity and the mind/body relationship as it relates to secret keeping can help guide or derail psychotherapeutic treatment and, ultimately, enhance wellness and resilience of both patient and clinician.
Kathryn Zerbe, MD, FAED, FABP is Training and Supervising Psychoanalyst, Oregon Psychoanalytic Center and Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, Oregon Health and Sciences University. She has received numerous awards for her teaching and writing contributions and speaks nationally and internationally on topics such as secrets and their impact on relationships, somatic countertransference, resilience, and the role of creative partnerships in fostering healing. Dr. Zerbe is the author of 4 books and over 150 papers, chapters, and reviews, she maintains a private practice in Portland, Oregon.
An expert in the field of eating disorders, she has also written two landmark books (The Body Betrayed: Women, Treatment, and Eating Disorders and Integrated Treatment of Eating Disorders: Beyond the Body Betrayed), numerous clinical papers on the topic, and served on the APA’s Practice Guideline Task Force for the Treatment of Eating Disorders. Her current interest in Secrets sparked from the stories she heard during the treatment and consultations with eating disordered patients.
Dr. Zerbe also maintains a private practice.
