Case Conference w/ Sandra Park, MD

Course description

In this 6-week segment, we will meet to discuss the process of a psychodynamic psychotherapy case. We will ask for a volunteer to present process notes from their work. When you register for the course, you can indicate whether you would like to be a volunteer. Ideally, we will follow 1 clinician’s work over the 6-week segment to track the evolution of a treatment. However, if this is not possible, we can discuss more than one person’s work.  If there is more than one volunteer, instructor will ask for a short description the case and decide on which case to focus on. We will explore themes such as the transference and countertransference, race, and clinical technique. 


This course will be assisted by Yin J. Li , LMFT.

Frequently Asked Questions

Unfortunately, not at this time. If you can or know of someone who can help us get approved nationwide, please email hello@taacp.org.


Course fees are split between instructors and the Center. We believe in valuing the time and work of our instructors.  The fees to Center support operating costs for current and future programming.  At this time, our non-teaching staff are volunteers. 


Due to the size of the courses (8 participants), your presence is important so we hope that you make every effort to attend class. And, life happens. 


However, there will be no recordings of sessions. We want to encourage participants to feel at ease to share personal and/or clinical material. 


We want to offer a space for Asian / Asian American clinicians to be, to learn, to question, to create, and to support one another.  And, from this space, our hope is that we can have more nuanced conversations and in depth explorations of the intersection of Asian subjectivities and psychoanalysis.


Our one time events are open to all.  And, in the future, we might offer courses for non-Asian clinicians. 


If you need to withdraw from enrollment, full refund will be given to up to 2 weeks prior to class start minus a processing fee of $50.  


No refunds after that or once classes begin or for missed classes.


In the event that the Center has to cancel a course, full refund will be provided. 


Expectations of Participants

Barring extenuating circumstances, participants in TAACP’s courses agree to attend all sessions, arriving on time for the entire duration of class. 


As classes are online, ensure that you are in a quiet and private space that allows for both audio and video to be on. 


Classes are small to encourage dialogue. We encourage you to “take” your share of talking time and listening time. 


 Keep other participants’ experience and clinical information confidential. 


All involved with TAACP (staff, volunteers, faculty, participants, guests) are expected to interact with each other with respect.


Issues that arise will be first discussed / addressed with the immediate folks involved and can be progressed to include faculty and/or TAACP’s administration.
