OPEN HOUSE & CLINICAL PRESENTATION: FOR THOSE CONSIDERING POSTGRADUATE TRAINING” THE CASE OF A NARCISSISTIC PATIENT: MORE COMPLICATED THAN AT FIRST GLANCE SATURDAY, MARCH 14, 2026 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM
A rich, 3 year-long treatment of a highly intelligent, charismatic and articulate 45 year old man, who sought services for depressive symptoms, illuminates the interplay of unmet early needs and religious and family dynamics. The patient’s defenses and the transference/countertransference matrix that developed led the therapist to conclude that the patient was narcissistically organized. The therapist will describe some narcissistic personality types and indicate which fits the patient’s narcissistic organization. Clinical vignettes will be offered to illustrate the course of treatment.
PRESENTER: FABIOLA HERNANDEZ, LMSW Certificate in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, Metropolitan Institute for Training in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, Adult Program. Member: Metropolitan Society of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapists; National Association of Social Workers.
LOCATION: ONLINE VIA ZOOM – Zoom instructions and meeting link will be emailed to participants prior to the event.
RSVP: There is no fee but you must reserve in advance. For reservations: please email info@mitpp.org.
Training opportunities, including flexible scheduling and financial options to fit individual needs, will be described following the presentation.
MITPP, originally established in 1962 to train MCMH clinicians and chartered by the New York State Board of Regents, offers three certificate programs: a three-year program in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy with Adults, a two-year program in Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy, and a program leading to the New York State license in Psychoanalysis. Social Workers may qualify for the LCSW through their training at MITPP. Matriculants see patients at the Metropolitan Center for Mental Health, which is licensed by the Office of Mental Health. Truly affordable training: Low tuition of $1,400 per semester includes both individual and group supervision and up to three courses. Courses are also offered on a non-matriculated basis and, upon matriculation, are applied toward a certificate. Candidates begin seeing patients as soon as they are processed. MITPP’s ongoing commitment to diversity and inclusion across race, age, gender identity, physical ability, ethnicity and experience has been a priority since its inception.
