This workshop invites clinicians to consider it differently: as a communication\\, a bid for recognition\\, and an expre ssion of a self struggling to cohere. Three IEA faculty members and super visors draw on their private practice cases\\, clinical thinking\\, and t he arts to explore how anger and aggression emerge when selfhood and rela tedness have been compromised\\, and how the therapeutic relationship\\, and creative expression within it\\, can help transform them. Moving acro ss development from childhood to adolescence to the wider culture\\, the presentations offer psychoanalysts\\, creative arts therapists\\, and cli nicians from the broader community new ways of understanding and working with aggression in the consulting room. Each presentation will be followe d by a Q&A.\\nPresentations:\\n"I Have No Free Time": Looking Back on the Expressive Therapy of a Nine-Year-Old Boy\\nBonnie Allie\\, LCAT\\, LP\\ nReflecting on an art therapy treatment with a young boy\\, Bonnie consid ers the idea of free time within the therapy hour and how the experience of drifting in and out of focus with a patient can mirror the treatment i tself.

Seeking clarity and dignity\\, he turns to online communities offering rigid narratives about gender and power. Stephanie explores how the trea tment relationship supported a more cohesive\\, enlivened self\\, one abl e to tolerate ambivalence\\, integrate anger\\, and risk connection.\\nSt ephanie Vanden Bos\\, LCSW is a graduate of the Child and Adolescent Psyc hotherapy Training Program at the William Alanson White Institute.
