Not Fully Formed:  Using Modeling Clay and Slime-making in Psychoanalytic Play Therapy with a 7-year-old Girl

A CLINICAL CAST PRESENTATION by Erin Cantor, LCSW

Held at the Institute, 20 West 74th Street (between Columbus Avenue & Central Park West)

ABOUT THIS EVENT

A fascinating and insightful case presentation describing the play therapy with a seven-year-old girl, that took place over a two-year period. Ms. Cantor describes her patient’s tenacious use of utilitarian molding clay and slime in creating evocative sculptures, allowing a greater psychological containment during a devastating, high-conflict custody battle between her parents.

Attendees will be encouraged to participate with questions, take part in discussion, and learn about our unique program.
