Interrupting Trauma and Advancing Development: Considering Parent Education in Contemporary Psychoanalytic Treatment

This paper centers on the exploration and utilization of a contemporary, psychoanalytically-based parent education perspective
aimed at interrupting intergenerational trauma. It highlights The Parenting Process, an integrative model of parent education that is at once educational and therapeutic. This model is explored in light of
a third listening stance based on James Fosshage’s listening perspectives concept. This paper underscores and illustrates
through clinical material the benefits of playing with implicit and explicit communication across various sensory modalities.
