SUMMARY:The Meaning and Value of Suffering in Jung’s Psychology – Presented by Bryan Wittine\, PhD\, LMFT[CLASS]
DESCRIPTION:C. G. Jung pioneered new and important ideas for the therapeutic treatment of psychological and spiritual suffering. Counter to the cultural belief that suffering is a bad thing to be eliminated or transcended as quickly as possible\, he believed neurotic defenses develop when the soul has not discovered the authentic feelings and deeper meanings of her suffering. For suffering without meaning is very hard to bear\, yet it is also often astounding to see how much a person can endure when he or she understands the why and wherefore of that suffering. In fact\, directly encountering and embracing our suffering may lead to important personal and spiritual realizations. \nIn this workshop\, Dr. Bryan Wittine\, a certified Jungian analyst practicing in Marin County\, will explore depth psychotherapy that encourage patients to find greater wisdom and maturity by authentically experiencing their sorrows and dark nights of the soul. Bryan will integrate readings from Jung and Jungian analysts with ample clinical material to illustrate how our patients can be helped by connecting with a wisdom greater than their own. As he will suggest\, under some conditions suffering can be harmful to the development of the personality\, but under other conditions we can grow and even find fulfillment when we cope with life’s tragedies and contemplate their deeper meanings. \nLearning Goals and Objectives: \n\nExplain the difference between authentic and inauthentic suffering from Jungian perspectives.\nArticulate the conditions under which depression might be regarded as a dark night of the soul rather than a symptom of a disorder.\nIdentify two therapeutic strategies for  helping to elicit and deepen a client feelings state.\nExplain how suffering can be  harmful or helpful to the process of individuation.\nArticulate under which conditions might the focus on diagnosis be counterproductive by creating distance from the suffering patient’s deeper personal and transpersonal needs.\n\n  \nBryan Wittine\, PhD\, LMFT\, is a Jungian psychoanalyst in private practice in Marin County.  He is cofounder and former chair of the graduate program in transpersonal counseling psychology at John F. Kennedy University where he also served as Associate Dean of the former Graduate School of Consciousness Studies.  He has served on the adjunct faculty at CIIS\, ITP\, and other graduate schools.  Having trained in Existential-Humanistic psychotherapy\, his long-standing practice of contemplative spirituality and studies in psychoanalytic psychology brought him to train at the C. G. Jung Institute of San Francisco where he now regularly teaches on such topics as deepening clinical work; depth psychotherapy and spiritual inquiry; and the integration of Jungian and transpersonal psychology. \n\nCOST:  \nNon Members:\n$75 early registration up to 10 days prior to class\, $85 after \nCIP Members:\n$50 early registration up to 10 days prior to class\, $60 after \nCEs: 4 CEs for LMFTs\, LCSWs\, and Psychologists. \nCommunity Institute for Psychotherapy is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists.

SUMMARY:Working Intersubjectively with Developmental Trauma and Traumatic Attachments: A Case-Based Approach (eight week series beginning October 19\, 2018) – Presented by Jane Rubin\, PhD [STUDY GROUP]
DESCRIPTION:Eight sessions\, the third Friday of the month:\nOct. 19\, Nov. 16\, Dec. 21\, 2018\, Jan. 18\, Feb. 15\, Mar. 15\, April 19\, May 17\, 2019 12:30 pm – 2:30 pm \nIntersubjectivity theory gives clinicians the tools to work effectively with developmental trauma and traumatic attachments while avoiding the impasses that often undermine treatment. While intersubjectivity theory is conceptually simple\, it can be difficult to put into practice. \nIn this course\, we’ll study the basic concepts of intersubjectivity theory with the goal of translating theory into practice. In each class meeting\, we’ll discuss a foundational paper in intersubjectivity theory. Topics will include working with developmental trauma; understanding transference and countertransference; effectively practicing affect attunement; using the most emotionally salient forms of interpretation; and overcoming pathological accommodation. This will be followed by a discussion of a case in which participants will learn to effectively translate these ideas from theory to practice. Participants should develop greater confidence in helping patients suffering from developmental trauma and traumatic attachments while avoiding the most common obstacles to successful treatment. \nIntersubjectivity theory and infant research have revolutionized our understanding of effective treatment for developmental trauma and traumatic attachments. This seminar is based upon the most influential works in these two fields. These works define developmental trauma and traumatic attachments and illustrate how therapists can work with them effectively. \nLearning Goals and Objectives: \n\nDefine the bi-phasic nature of trauma and work effectively with it in treatment.\nIdentify their patients’ unconscious organizing principles.\nExplain how intersubjectivity theory understands the therapeutic alliance\, and effectively establish and maintain a working alliance with their patients.\nExplain the difference between categorical affects and vitality affects.\nDescribe three vitality affects and effectively employ them in treatment.\nDefine the three principles of salience and employ them effectively in treatment.\nDefine model scenes and use them to construct effective interpretations.\nExplain the relationship between pathological accommodation and traumatic attachment.\nExplain the difference between the dread to repeat and the dread not to repeat.\nTrack effective shifts in their patients that signal the shift from enthusiasm to malaise\, and intervene effectively to prevent prolonged negative therapeutic reactions.\n\n  \nJane Rubin\, PhD\, PhD\, LMFT\, received her PhD in Philosophy from UC Berkeley\, her PhD in Clinical Psychology from the Wright Institute\, and her PsyD in Contemporary Psychoanalysis at the Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis in Los Angeles. She is in private practice in Berkeley. \n\nCOST:  \nNon Members:\n$280 early registration up to 10 days prior to class\, $320 after \nCIP Members:\n$200 early registration up to 10 days prior to class\, $220 after \nCEs: 16 CEs for LMFTs\, LCSWs\, and Psychologists. Certificates issued after completion of eight sessions. \nCommunity Institute for Psychotherapy is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists.

SUMMARY:Working Intersubjectively with Developmental Trauma and Traumatic Attachments: Tools for Transformation (day-long in depth workshop) – Presented by Jane Rubin\, PhD [SEMINAR]
DESCRIPTION:Many of our patients suffer from various forms of developmental trauma. Whether their presenting problems are depression\, anxiety\, the inability to form meaningful relationships\, or difficulty finding their direction in life\, they live in the shadow of early relationships with misattuned caregivers. \nIntersubjectivity theory and infant research give us new ways of understanding and working with these patients. Intersubjectivity theory helps us to recognize developmental trauma in our adult patients\, to identify the unconscious organizing principles that result from that trauma\, and to understand the traumatic attachments that keep them from moving forward in their lives. When combined with the findings of infant research\, it gives us tools for effective affect attunement that allows our patients to integrate dissociated affects and use those affects to help them have richer\, more meaningful lives. \nThis seminar will discuss the basic concepts of intersubjectivity theory\, as developed by Robert Stolorow\, George Atwood\, and Bernard Brandchaft\, and integrate those concepts with the empirical research about affect attunement of Daniel Stern\, Beatrice Beebe\, and Frank Lachmann\, and the Boston Change Process Study Group. Participants will learn how to work more successfully to help their patients overcome the results of early trauma while avoiding many of the impasses that can result from ineffective treatment. \nLearning Goals and Objectives: \n\nDefine the bi-phasic nature of trauma.\nExplain how trauma leads to the formation of unconscious organizing principles.\nDescribe and differentiate the two major functions of unconscious organizing principles so clinicians can identify them and utilize that information intersubjectively with the client.\nExplain how intersubjectivity theory understands the therapeutic alliance\, and effectively establish and maintain a working alliance with their patients.\nExplain the difference between categorical affects and vitality affects.\nDescribe three vitality affects and effectively employ them in treatment.\nExplain the difference between the dread to repeat and the dread not to repeat.\nDefine structures of pathological accommodation.\nTrack affective shifts in their patients that signal the shift from enthusiasm to malaise and intervene effectively to prevent prolonged negative therapeutic reactions.\n\n  \nJane Rubin\, PhD\, received her PhD in Philosophy from UC Berkeley\, her PhD in Clinical Psychology from the Wright Institute\, and her PsyD in Contemporary Psychoanalysis at the Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis in Los Angeles. She is in private practice in Berkeley. \n\nCOST:  \nCIP Members:\n$75 early registration 10 days prior to seminar; $85 after \nNon-Members:\n$110 early registration up to 10 days prior to seminar\, $120 after \nCEs: 6 CEs for LMFTs\, LCSWs\, and Psychologists. \nCommunity Institute for Psychotherapy is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists.

SUMMARY:Depth Psychotherapy and Spiritual Inquiry – Presented by Bryan Wittine\, PhD\, LMFT [STUDY GROUP]
DESCRIPTION:12 sessions\, the second and third Fridays of the month:\nSept. 14 & 21\, Nov. 9 & 16\, Dec. 14 & 21\, 2018; Jan. 11 & 18\,\nFeb. 8 & 15\, Mar. 8 & 15\, 2019 | 10 am – 12 noon \nAn increasing number of psychotherapy clients have meditation and spiritual practices and want their spirituality to be recognized as a resource in their healing. Many also want therapists who will converse with them and offer guidance on the spiritual path. Jung’s extraordinary study of alchemy is his own spiritual inquiry and our invitation to inquire into ourselves to dialogue with the unconscious and gain wisdom and guidance from within. Jungian psychology uses our natural curiosity and the energy of our spiritual longing to contemplate such ultimate concerns as\, “What am I?” “Who am I?” “What is Life and its meaning?” “What is Love?” and “What is God?” To accompany our clients in their quest we must draw upon our own natural capacity for inquiry. Alchemical symbolism will be found to be an exceptionally useful way to ponder the stages of the spiritual path for patients and therapists alike. This course is designed for depth psychotherapists who wish to engage in dialogue concerning the complementarity of clinical work and spirituality from a Jungian perspective. Jung called the spiritual center of our psyche the “Self.” He also said the Self reflects Divinity\, the infinite depth and ground of all Being. Topics for our dialogue in this seminar include the following: \n\nThe Trinity of Ego\, Self\, and Divinity from a Jungian perspective;\nArchetypal images in Alchemy;\nArchetypal images of inner wisdom and guidance;\nArchetypal patterns of mystical experience;\nSpiritual inquiry as dialogue with the unconscious;\nSpiritual inquiry\, dreamwork\, and Jungian psychology;\nSpiritual crises and conflicts;\nThe centrality of the Feminine in spiritual inquiry;\nSimilarities and differences between spiritual direction and spiritually integrated psychotherapy.\n\nThe frequency of mystical events reported by people in Jungian analysis and by the population at large led Jung to believe that all of us can develop a personal spirituality and discover meaning in our lives from our encounter with the unconscious. It is not just a mystic\, sage\, meditator\, or religious person who has spiritual experiences. They are available to us all. \nNew participants who wish to register must interview with Dr. Wittine prior to registration to be accepted into this study group. \nLearning Goals and Objectives: \n\nStudents will summarize key definitions of Jung’s trinity of Ego\, Self\, and Divinity\, as listed by Murray Stein in his paper\, “Divinity Expresses the Self.”\nStudents will articulate and apply specific requirements that allow spiritual inquiry to occur. Alchemical symbolism will be used to interpret these inquiries.\nStudents will differentiate and briefly summarize the six stages of the alchemical journey.\nStudents will select at least one spiritual crisis\, conflict\, or defense and summarize its major characteristics using Jung’s perspective on alchemy.\nStudents will choose one archetypal image of inner wisdom and guidance that has meaning for them and briefly summarize its symbolic meaning.\nStudents will compare and contrast spiritual direction and spiritually integrated psychotherapy.\nStudents will discuss clinical material from their own and the teacher’s casework to illustrate examples of alchemical stages in depth psychotherapy.\n\n  \nBryan Wittine\, PhD\, LMFT\,is a Jungian psychoanalyst in private practice in Marin County.  He is cofounder and former chair of the graduate program in transpersonal counseling psychology at John F. Kennedy University where he also served as Associate Dean of the former Graduate School of Consciousness Studies.  He has served on the adjunct faculty at CIIS\, ITP\, and other graduate schools.  Having trained in Existential-Humanistic psychotherapy\, his long-standing practice of contemplative spirituality and studies in psychoanalytic psychology brought him to train at the C.
