SUMMARY:Client Engagement with AI: Ethical and Symbolic Considerations from a Depth Psychological Perspective - Presented by Nadia Thalji\, PhD [Class]
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”12986″ img_size=”medium” css=””][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]NARRATIVE \nAs clients increasingly engage with artificial intelligence (AI) platforms for emotional guidance\, self-reflection\, and meaning-making\, clinicians are encountering new forms of clinical material that raise ethical\, symbolic\, and relational challenges. This continuing education seminar examines how clinicians can respond thoughtfully and ethically when clients bring AI-generated content into psychotherapy. Grounded in depth psychology\, and relational ethics\, the seminar explores how client engagement with AI may function symbolically\, concretely\, or defensively\, including its role as a third object\, idealized authority\, or symbolic equation. Emphasis is placed on maintaining the therapeutic frame\, supporting symbolic thinking\, and preserving client agency and reflective functioning. Clinical vignettes will be used to illustrate assessment and intervention strategies. Participants will learn how to use countertransference and ethical discernment to guide clinical responses that restore symbolic mediation and support psychological depth in the context of emerging technologies.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]LEARNING OBJECTIVES \nUpon completion of this workshop\, participants should be able to: \n\nList at least two common ways clients engage with AI and introduce AI-generated material into psychotherapy.\nDifferentiate symbolic engagement from concrete reliance by correctly categorizing at least two clinical examples of client–AI interaction.\nIdentify at least two ethical considerations related to client use of AI in psychotherapy practice.\nApply a depth psychological formulation to at least one case vignette involving client–AI interaction\, including a statement of possible clinical meaning.\nDescribe two countertransference reactions and explain how each could inform an intervention with a client using AI.\nFormulate one clinically appropriate intervention that addresses AI-related material while maintaining therapeutic boundaries.\nDemonstrate one intervention that promotes symbolic thinking or reflective functioning in response to a client presenting AI-generated content.\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]COURSE OUTLINE—4 hours \n9:00 – 10:15 am  \n     Overview of client engagement with AI.

Content Curriculum.  \nContent Curriculum: \n\nThis continuing education seminar explores how clinicians can ethically and clinically respond when clients bring AI-generated material into psychotherapy. Grounded in depth psychology and relational ethics\, the course focuses on preserving symbolic thinking\, clinical boundaries\, and reflective functioning. \nThe program content is grounded in peer-reviewed psychoanalytic\, depth psychological\, relational\, and ethical literature. Although AI technologies are continuously evolving\, the seminar strictly focuses on applying established clinical principles that are highly relevant to current psychological practice. \nThis seminar is intended for licensed mental health professionals\, including psychologists\, psychotherapists\, social workers\, and advanced trainees. The instructional level is intermediate to advanced. \nThe course material is specifically designed to enhance a clinician’s ethical discernment and clinical judgment. Acknowledged limitations include the rapidly evolving nature of AI technologies; to address this\, the course emphasizes broad\, enduring conceptual frameworks over the use of specific\, transient tools or platforms.\nThe seminar recognizes that there are cultural\, socioeconomic\, generational\, and contextual differences in how clients engage with technology. The clinical examples used throughout the course reflect diverse populations and place an emphasis on culturally responsive practice.\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]BIO: \nDr. Nadia Thalji\, PhD is a licensed clinical psychologist in private practice\, faculty member at Antioch University\, and founder of Intercultural Psychology\, a platform for culturally attuned clinical training.

SUMMARY:The Patient Who Wouldn’t Be: The Clinical Problem of Patients Who Lack Interest in their Own Experience - Presented by Kristian Kemtrup\, PhD\, LMFT [Class]
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”12985″ img_size=”medium” css=””][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]NARRATIVE \nThere is a class of patients who can be difficult to treat because they present as having an absence of interest in their own subjective experience. In a way these are patients who have difficulty being patients. More generally\, they have difficulty experiencing or living in what Winnicott (1954) refers to as “going on being\,” a healthy flow of emotions and creative impulses that create internal vitality and the basis of thoughtful\, meaningful engagement with others and the world. These patients do not present as having a problem that Killingmo (1989) would refer to as either an “internal conflict” or a “deficit\,”nor do they seem to suffer from trauma\, dissociation\, or emotions that are overwhelming. They are neither emotionally dammed up nor emotionally flooded. Rather\, they report a problem of being relatively “emotionally arid” and are authentically unclear if this is a problem for them or only for those around them. This talk discusses how such patients’ problems can be better understood psychoanalytically\, paying particular attention to how their problems may be related to developmental histories that are superficially good enough but where caregivers were “soul blind” (Novick and Novick 2022) or unable to be curious about and receptive to their child’s emotions. Finally\, we will discuss some ideas on how to proceed in treating them derived from the work of  Ogden (2025) and also Goldberg (2025).[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]LEARNING OBJECTIVES \nUpon completion of this workshop\, participants should be able to: \n\nDifferentiate among intrapsychic conflict\, deficits in emotional containment\, and impairments in the capacity to experience continuous emotional being (“going-on-being”)\nDefine the term “soul blind” as a description for some parents and how absence of interest in a child’s mind during development is often described by such adult patients who have difficulty “becoming patients.”\nDefine the construct “soul blindness” in caregiving and explain how a caregiver’s lack of interest in a child’s mental life during development may contribute to later difficulties engaging in the patient’s role in psychotherapy.\nDefine and identify 2 clinical challenges of applying traditional interpretive interventions or affect-containment strategies to patients who are neither intrapsychically conflicted nor affectively overwhelmed but instead present with emotional constriction or aridity.\nDescribe the importance of orienting the patient to “the frame” and psychotherapeutic neutrality for generating here and now interest in the patient’s internal world. \nDescribe three areas of convergence and divergence\, and identify two questions for further clinical inquiry\, among emotionally constricted patients\, individuals identifying as high functioning or mild autism\, patients presenting with alexithymic features\, and those conceptualized as occupying the autistic–contiguous position.\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]COURSE OUTLINE—4 hours \n9:00 – 10:00 am \n     Identifying “Patients Who Will Not Be” \n10:00 – 10:45 am \n     The Confusing Severity and Impossibility of The Problem \n10:45 – 11:00 am \n     BREAK \n11:00 – 11:45 am \n     Fragments of Three Cases \n11:45 am – 1:00 pm \n     Use of Reverie in The Treatment \n     Open Reflection[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Content Curriculum: \n\nThis workshop will expand the participant’s knowledge about how to deal with a complex clinical situation that is not easily dealt with using ordinary psychodynamic clinical techniques\nThe knowledge the participant gains will enhance their clinical work by helping them to identify a clinical problem that is not easily treatable by standard technique and that can be difficult to diagnose psychodynamically. Avenues for further study of these patients will be pointed out as scientifically and clinically important.\nThe target audience is everyone who is working clinically in the mental health field.  The concepts will be explained simply enough so that they will be accessible to participants who are beginners in the field\, as well as those with advanced knowledge.\nThe content is based on books and articles which have been published by seminal psychodynamic authors theorizing based on their clinical cases and case studies\, including a larger set of cases treating adolescents. Tentative hypotheses about the etiology of some clinical problems can be derived from these cases\, and avenues for nomological study\, ie randomized control trials\, will be suggested but have not been conducted.\nThe clinical approach presented can be applied to all clients\, independent of culture\, gender\, sexual orientation or other identities. The cases selected for discussion and in the relevant materials reflect diverse populations. Particular attention will be paid to exploring whether cultural differences effect what counts to patients as a problem that stands in need of help or treatment.\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]BIO: \nKristian Kemtrup\, PhD\, LMFT is a psychoanalytic psychotherapist in private practice in Albany\, California.

SUMMARY:Interpretation in the Clinical Moment: The Modern Kleinian Approach to Working Through the Psychoanalytic Process - Presented by Robert Waska MFT\, LPCC\, PhD [Class]

The patient’s internal object relational struggles are highlighted\, explored\, and challenged with supportive interpretation with a focus on transference\, countertransference\, and containment throughout the working through process. \nThe consistent exploration of unconscious phantasy is highlighted as the bedrock of psychoanalytic intervention. Transference is the externalization and direct expression of internal phantasy onto the analyst.  Transference is an essential aspect of the treatment\, but not always available to work with. Ongoing extra-transference associations are usually present for the analyst to follow and interpret instead and often easier for the patient to understand and engage with. Interpretation of phantasy\, transference\, and extra-transference encourages the working through process. The theoretical basis of interpretation will be explored and case material will demonstrate how transference\, phantasy\, and extra-transference are often all present in every session.  The material shows how to best choose what and when to interpret.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]LEARNING OBJECTIVES \nAt the conclusion of this program\, participants will be able to: \n\n   Describe the ways Modern Kleinians work with interpretation\n   Name the three phases of working though in the psychoanalytic process\n   Understand the use of countertransference and the application of containment when interpreting\n   Define the differences between phantasy\, transference\, and extra-transference\n   Describe the clinical importance of extra-transference interpretations\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]COURSE OUTLINE—4 hours \n10:00 – 11:00 am \nRobert Waska will read a paper highlighting the issues of interpretation from a Kleinian perspective \n11:00 – 11:45 am \nAudience discussion/questions \n11:45 am – 12:00 pm \nBreak \n12:00 – 1:15 pm \nRobert Waska will read a second paper continuing to highlight interpretation in the psychoanalytic situation \n1:15 – 2:00 pm \nAudience discussion/questions \n2:00 pm \nEnd of Conference[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Content Curriculum: \n\nThe participant will know more about making interpretations to patients using a psychoanalytic and Kleinian viewpoint.\nParticipant will have more information on how to offer their patient helpful interpretations during moments of conflict.\nThe material is helpful for introductory students as well as advanced audiences.\nThe first paper has been published previously and the second paper is currently being reviewed for publication. \nThe clinical approach and theoretical positions presented apply to all patients.\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]BIO: \nRobert Waska LPCC\, MFT\, PhD\, is a graduate in Psychoanalysis from the Institute for Psychoanalytic Studies and was a full analytic member of the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis.

SUMMARY:Lying on the Couch: Shame\, Guilt and Deception in the Clinical Hour - Presented by Mark Edwards\, LMFT [Class]

Rather than viewing dishonesty as simple resistance\, noncompliance\, or willful manipulation\, this seminar approaches deception as a complex clinical communication shaped by shame\, guilt\, fear\, attachment needs\, and underlying pathogenic beliefs. \nDrawing on contemporary research in psychotherapeutic treatment\, moral psychology\, and clinical process studies\, this training provides practitioners with a theoretical framework and practical toolkit for recognizing\, understanding\, and therapeutically addressing dishonesty in therapeutic work. The course provides clinicians with a coherent framework for understanding why clients and supervisees conceal\, distort\, or omit information – and how these behaviors function to manage perceived interpersonal danger. Participants will explore how shame-based and guilt-based conflicts contribute to deceptive behavior\, including efforts to protect valued relationships\, avoid anticipated judgment\, or test the safety of authority figures. \nExamining the origins of guilt and shame and the role that they play in deception\, this presentation will focus on manifestations of deception in clinical work\, substance use recovery and clinical supervision.

The seminar emphasizes applied theory\, supervisory decision-making\, and refinement of clinical judgment.\nThe content is directly relevant to the practice of psychotherapy and clinical supervision across diverse treatment settings. It is grounded in established psychological theory and supported by empirical research examining therapeutic process and effectiveness over several decades.\nThis program is aimed at practicing clinicians and will be useful in the supervision of master’s and pre and post-Doctoral interns. It will be delivered at the intermediate/advanced level.\nThe program is based upon the published works of multiple experts in the field of psychotherapy and on the clinical practice of the presenter. Limitations are minimal and the most common risk is misinterpretation of the material or misapplication of the techniques presented. These risks are addressed through careful attention to case context.\nThis program reflects an appreciation for diverse populations and acknowledges the influence of cultural\, individual\, and role differences on psychological development and therapeutic process. Case material and research draw from clients of varied cultural backgrounds\, and the seminar addresses how systemic stressors\, cultural context\, clinician identity\, and power differentials may shape the development of shame and guilt along with the development of deceptive practices. Cross-cultural research from U.S. and international sources is incorporated to support culturally responsive practice. \n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]BIO: \nMark Edwards\, MFT is a psychotherapist\, trainer\, teacher and consultant.

SUMMARY:A Depth Psychological Perspective on the Somatic Dimensions of Trauma\, Transference\, Countertransference and Enactments: Working with Trauma and Transformation in the Unspoken Realm - Presented by Barbara Holifield [Seminar]
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”12978″ img_size=”medium” css=””][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]NARRATIVE \nThis six-hour intensive explores how bodily felt experience serves as a fundamental source of knowledge in depth psychotherapy\, shifting meaning-making beyond language and symbolization alone. While somatic approaches are gaining prominence\, many depth psychotherapy traditions continue to prioritize verbal and symbolic processes. This course integrates body-centered awareness with classical depth psychological concepts of transference\, countertransference\, and the analytic third. \nFrom a somatic depth psychological perspective\, the body is not separate from\, but rather an integral aspect of psyche or mind. We will explore the neuroscientific perspective of the  body as foundational to affect. In the wake of developmental trauma the body holds the unformulated affects and their unlived meanings—such as grief\, anger\, terror\, shame\, and the vulnerabilities inherent in intimacy and attachment. When brought into sensorial awareness\, undifferentiated experience stored in implicit memory begins to clarify into distinct emotions. As sensations and feelings emerge and are tolerated\, images and memories often surface\, generating meaning that contributes to healing psychological wounds and processing trauma. \nContemporary neuroscience illuminates the relational field through discoveries of mirror neurons\, adaptive oscillators\, and other neurological functions activated in intimate encounters. These findings provide a biological foundation for understanding how the therapist’s nervous system resonates with and is shaped by the patient’s embodied experience\, and vice versa. The transferential-countertransferential field can be understood as a dynamic psycho-neurobiological process in which two living systems engage in reciprocal regulation\, implicit communication\, and co-created states of consciousness. This neurological perspective deepens our appreciation of Jung’s insight that a “third thing” is created in analysis—a lived\, embodied phenomenon arising from the interplay of two psychobiological systems. \nThis course examines how somatic awareness\,  and attention to the creative unconscious deepens access to the co-created relational field. We will explore how bodily sensation and a wealth of sensorial perception including kinesthetic\, and proprioceptive awareness \, contribute to reverie and comprehending somatic countertransference to inform clinical interventions.  We will explore how dreams and psyche’s mythopoetic expressions emerge from and illuminate the embodied dimensions of the therapeutic encounter. Recognizing the body as an aspect of psyche fundamentally transforms our understanding of countertransference: what arises in the analyst’s body is not secondary information about the psyche\, but direct psychic communication. \nParticular attention will be given to enactments as moments when previously unformulated experience presses toward consciousness through the lived relational encounter. A somatically informed and sensitive approach may not only lessen the inevitability of enactments between therapist and patient\, but can deepen understanding and healing when somatic inquiry becomes part of processing the lived experience as it unfolds in the therapeutic relationship. \nThe course will address clinical decision-making regarding when to speak from versus about countertransference experience\, how the analyst’s capacity to hold and metabolize patients’ unformulated affective experience relates to somatic presence\, and how active imagination serves as a paradigm for engaging both imaginal and embodied contents emerging from the therapeutic field. Through this weaving of somatic\, neurobiological\, and depth psychological perspectives\, participants will gain practical tools for working with trauma\, developmental wounds\, and the transformation that occurs in the unspoken realm of therapeutic encounter.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]LEARNING OBJECTIVES \nUpon completion of this workshop\, participants at this workshop should be able to: \n \n\nDescribe at least three ways the body functions as an aspect of psyche within the therapeutic field and identify one clinical implication for each.\nExplain how mirror neurons and adaptive oscillators contribute to the transferential–countertransferential process and link each concept to one observable clinical phenomenon.\nIdentify at least two examples of somatic countertransference in clinical work and demonstrate how each can inform an intervention.\nApply work with dreams and mythopoetic material by articulating at least one connection between symbolic content and embodied experience in a clinical formulation.\nDifferentiate between speaking from versus speaking about body-based countertransference by describing at least two distinguishing features and indicating appropriate clinical use of each.\nIdentify at least two indicators of enactment and describe how somatic attunement informs intervention in each instance.\nExplain the neurosensory basis of emotional experience and identify at least two underlying physiological processes involved.\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]COURSE OUTLINE—6 hours \n8:30 – 9:00 am \n     Registration \n9:00 – 9:15 am  \n     Introduction of presenter and course overview \n9:15 – 10:00 am \n     The body as psyche: somatic knowing and the therapeutic field \n10:00 – 10:15 am \n     Neuroscience perspectives on affect the relational field \n10:15 – 10:30 \n     Break \n10:30 – 11:00 am \n     Neuroscience perspectives on affect in the relational field \n11:00 am – 12:00 pm \n     Somatic countertransference and the analytic third \n12:00 – 1:00 pm \n     Lunch Break \n1:00  – 2:00 pm  \n     Enactments and unformulated experience \n2:00 – 3:00 pm  \n     Dreams\, active imagination\, and the embodied unconscious  \n3:00 – 4:00 pm  \n     Clinical decision-making and somatic awareness  \n     Integration: trauma and transformation \n4:00 pm  \n     End of Conference[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Content Curriculum: \nThis program builds on doctoral-level training in psychodynamic theory\, including transference\, countertransference\, and unconscious processes\, as well as core clinical skills. It extends this foundation by introducing a somatic framework that emphasizes embodied experience as a source of clinical data\, enhancing participants’ ability to work with implicit\, affective\, and nonverbal processes in treatment. \nThe content is directly applicable to clinical practice by providing frameworks and interventions for working with somatic experience\, trauma\, and relational processes. It integrates contemporary neuroscience with psychodynamic theory\, supporting the application of research-informed perspectives to clinical work and training. \nThe target audience includes licensed psychologists\, licensed mental health professionals\, postdoctoral fellows\, and advanced trainees. The instructional level is intermediate to advanced and assumes prior familiarity with psychodynamic or depth-oriented psychotherapy. \nThe material integrates established psychodynamic theory with contemporary research in neuroscience and trauma\, including implicit memory and affect regulation. The content is clinically oriented and designed to support practical application. \nLimitations include the evolving empirical status of certain constructs and variability in clinical interpretation. Risks include overinterpretation of somatic experience and premature intervention. The course emphasizes clinical judgment\, pacing\, and maintaining appropriate boundaries. \nThe program emphasizes culturally responsive practice by recognizing that embodied experience and relational dynamics are shaped by sociocultural context. Participants are encouraged to consider the impact of race\, ethnicity\, gender identity\, sexual orientation\, and systemic factors\, and to engage in ongoing self-reflection and cultural humility in clinical work.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]BIO: \nBarbara Holifield is a training analyst member of the C.

SUMMARY:The Couples Cauldron: An Introduction to Jungian Couples Therapy - Presented by Elizabeth Éowyn Nelson\, PhD and Tony Delmedico\, PhD [Seminar]

They know that working with couples places tremendous demands on their knowledge\, their skill\, and their own complicated feelings about the mysteries of relationship. \nThe Couples Cauldron: An Introduction to Jungian Couples Therapy offers participants fresh ways of thinking about what happens in the consulting room. The course re-imagines the work of couples therapy as a temenos guiding partners toward psychological wholeness\, or what Jung termed the Self. The course’s central premise—emotionally-committed relationships are difficult\, profound\, meaningful\, and full of soul—means that couples who bravely begin therapy and the therapists who guide them are working on behalf of soul regardless of the outcome. \nThis unique presentation teaches key concepts in Jung’s psychology as it applies to therapeutic couples work\, offering participants more nuanced ways of working with the complex energies that arise between suffering partners. Participants will reimagine the couple’s plight—as well as their personal experience of relationship—as an unfolding creative process and a mystery to be lived.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]LEARNING OBJECTIVES \n\nDifferentiate two key distinctions between behavioral/cognitive approaches and depth-oriented (soul-based) approaches to couples therapy.\nIdentify and describe two core concepts from Carl Jung and archetypal theory (e.g.\, shadow\, anima/animus\, archetypes).\nExplain how intimate relationships can function as a process of individuation and Self-development by identifying at least two mechanisms through which relational conflict contributes to psychological growth.\nIdentify two examples of complexes and archetypal patterns in couple dynamics\, and explain an intervention that engages symbolic or unconscious material (e.g.\, interpretation\, amplification\, or reflective inquiry).\nApply Jungian typology to couple dynamics by identifying at least two relevant typological differences (e.g.\, thinking/feeling\, introversion/extraversion).\nDefine at least two key metaphors or stages of alchemical transformation (e.g.\, nigredo\, albedo).\nIdentify at least three clinical considerations when working with gender\, sexual\, and relationally diverse couples.\nDescribe at least two ways therapist subjectivity (e.g.\, countertransference\, symbolic resonance) can inform couples work.\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]COURSE OUTLINE—6 hours \n8:30 – 9:00 am \n     Registration  \n9:00 – 9:15 am \n     Introduction of presenters \n9:15 – 10:00 am \n     Introduction to a Jungian framework for couples therapy and Individuation. \n10:00 – 10:15 am \n     Break  \n10:15 – 11:00 am \n     The Alchemy of Relationship \n11:00 – 11:45 am \n     Couples and Complexes \n11:45 am – 12:45 pm \n     Lunch Break \n12:45 – 1:30 pm \n     Archetypal Basis of Coupled Life \n1:30 – 2:15 pm \n     Typology in Couples Therapy \n2:15 – 2:30 pm \n     Break \n2:30 – 3:15 pm \n     The Shadow and the Couple \n3:25 – 4:00 pm \n     Diversity and Contemporary Coupling \n4:00 pm \n     End of Seminar[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Criterion:  1.1 TO 1.3 \nThis course satisfies Criterion 1.1. \nCONTENT CURRICULUM \nThis presentation builds upon key competencies\, skill sets\, and knowledge bases described in the literature associated with the contemporary practice of couples therapy. By inviting a Jungian and depth-oriented approach\, it seeks to augment\, not supplant\, current therapeutic modalities. The course: \n\nutilizes and amplifies Jung’s formulation of analytical psychotherapy as it pertains to relationships and couples therapy. \nintroduces the concepts of individuation\, complexes\, alchemy\, typology\, archetypes\, and the shadow and their impact on couples as well as the therapist. \nbuilds upon graduate-level concepts and applies them using clinical methodologies directly relevant to a depth-informed psychotherapy with couples.\n\nThis presentation speaks directly to the clinical practice of psychotherapy with couples.  It introduces theoretical considerations from a Jungian perspective as well as clinical considerations which directly inform treatment planning\, case conceptualization\, and ways of working with couples in therapy. \nAnyone working in a therapeutic field with couples who wants to incorporate Jungian and archetypal theory in their practice. Graduate students studying psychology or related disciplines and wish to deepen your understanding of Jungian couple therapy. No previous knowledge or qualifications are required. \nThe content of this presentation represents introductory to intermediate level application of the principles of Jungian psychotherapy. It presumes at least an introductory level of knowledge of depth psychology and some of Jung’s core psychological concepts. \nThe accuracy and empirical basis for this material is taken from primary source material from the corpus of Jung’s work. The presentation relies on either Jung’s work directly\, or those primary figures who have amplified his work. \nAn inherent limitation lies in the challenge of condensing the breadth of Jung’s major contributions to a six hour introduction and practical application to couples therapy. The presentation is designed to invite an increase in self-awareness for participants\, and this has the potential to be transiently activating and frustrating for some.  \nIn addition to acknowledging\, respecting\, and speaking to the importance of the richness of cultural\, individual and role differences that couples and therapist bring to the work\, this presentation specifically includes a section on Diversity and Contemporary Coupling. The section will also speak the wide range of relational styles and individual identities that influence contemporary couple therapy. It encourages participants to listen for how partners make meaning of gender\, sexuality\, relationships\, and identity—ever mindful that cultural and political context are especially crucial factors affecting people who do not conform to normative expectations.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]BIO: \nElizabeth Éowyn Nelson PhD\, faculty of Pacifica Graduate Institute since 2003\, teaches and speaks internationally.
