A Broken Container: Rupture of the Training Analysis due to Ethical Boundary Violation of Analyst with a Fellow Trainee (Sibling)
I am an analyst and PhD student at the Department of Psychosocial and Psychoanalytic Studies at the University of Essex. As part of my research, I am examining cases, whether recent or historical, of sexual boundary violations that have occurred during the training process, specifically involving the therapist with a 鈥榮ibling鈥� trainee. I am interested in exploring the psychological effects these events have on trainees by conducting an interview on Zoom.
If you believe that you have been impacted by experiences of this kind, you could play a valuable role in a research project that investigates the dynamics of the analytic container ruptures and the resulting unconscious transmissions.
This research project has received approval from the university鈥檚 ethics committee, and all interview materials will be handled anonymously, adhering to the highest ethical standards of the profession and research.
Research Advert
Are you a psychodynamic or psychoanalytic practitioner who has had an experience of a disruption of their therapy whilst training 鈥� recently or historically 鈥� due to sexual boundary violation of the therapist with a fellow trainee?
If so, you could contribute to some interesting and relevant research which is about exploring the nature of container breaks and the unconscious transmissions that take place. I am conducting this as part of my professional doctorate within the Department of Psychosocial and Psychoanalytic Studies at the University of Essex.
