Online Interview
In this interview, Dr. Geltner discusses the Modern Psychoanalytic underpinnings of his thinking about emotional communications, the field founded by Hyman Spotnitz. He describes the different types of countertransference and how understanding what the patient is inducing in the analyst is a main focus of the Modern Psychoanalytic technique. Working beyond interpretations that are based in language, Geltner describes how the Modern Psychoanalytic theory of cure includes not only words, but also the analyst’s use of emotional communication to meet the patient’s unmet maturational needs.

In this interview with BodyTalk, with David Lesondak, noted author and Structural Integrater, we discuss the basic concepts of transference and countertransference in ways that are accessbile to health praticioners who are not psychotherapists. Analysts and psychotherapists have told me that it was helpful for them to hear it as well, to review these concepts in their simplest forms.

Joining, Mirroring, and Modeling: Three types of non-interpretative psychoanalytic interventions.
This presentation describes the most original and distinctive transference based interventions that were formulated by Hyman Spotnitz and further refined in Modern Psychoanalytic practice.
This presentation argues that there are (at least) three distinct types of curative experiences in psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy: insight, emotional communication, and verbalization. While these experiences can be combined and overlap, but they can also be quite distinctive, and some patients respond preferentially to one type rather than another, and that the analyst should tailor their interventions to fit the patient rather than strive to make the patient fit the cure.
