Discovering Implication in Real Time

with Rachel Kabasakalian McKay, PhD & David Mark, PhD

We review the social and clinical relevance of Rothberg’s concept of "the implicated subject", and then introduce the idea of "intersubjective implication". We define this idea, anchoring it within a relational clinical sensibility, and suggest that the discovery of one's implication in moment to moment engagement with one's partner in the consulting room represents a powerful, and central part of the work.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of the program, participants will be able to:

1) Describe Rothberg's concept of social implication and its relevance to the current political crisis

2) List one clinical example of how our professional implication may make it more difficult to inhabit our personal, intersubjective implication

Level of Instruction:

this event will be taught at the intermediate level of instruction and is appropriate for practicing clinicians
