SUMMARY:Mission Impossible? An Intersubjective Approach To Doing Therapy In Dark Times - Presented by Jane Rubin\, PhD\, PhD\, PsyD [Study Group] [8-Days]
DESCRIPTION:Eight sessions\, the third Friday of the month:  \nOct. 17th\, Nov 21st\, Dec 19th\, 2025; Jan 16th\, Feb 20th\, Mar 20th\, Apr 17th\, May 15th\, 2026  \n12:30 – 2:30 pm \n  \nNARRATIVE:  \nMany of our patients come to therapy because they’re desperate to find\, or to rediscover\, a sense of possibility in their lives. They’ve lost faith in the possibility of finding meaningful work or a satisfying relationship\, of overcoming the obstacles that hold them back in their lives\, or of simply feeling better about themselves and their life direction. \nHolding a sense of possibility for our patients can sometimes be difficult. But it can be especially difficult in these times\, when so many possibilities–for health\, for education\, for racial and economic justice\, for financial security– are being foreclosed daily. \nIn this fraught environment\, how do we both acknowledge the reality of our present situation\, and hold out a sense of hope for our patients\, many of whom now have a whole new host of worries about how best to live through these difficult times? What do we do when we share our patients’ worries? What do we do when we don’t share them\, and have trouble understanding them? \nIntersubjectivity theory is based on the premise that patients’ and therapists’ experiences of the world are grounded in their unconscious organizing principles. Sometimes our organizing principles differ radically from each other–a situation Intersubjectivity theory refers to as an “intersubjective disjunction” . Sometimes they’re similar–what Intersubjectivity calls an “intersubjective conjunction”. Learning to work with intersubjective disjunctions and conjunctions is at the heart of working intersubjectively. It can be especially important in these times\, when patients’ and therapists’ fears and anxieties threaten to undermine our hopes for a better future. \nThe readings in this course will cover the basic concepts of Intersubjectivity theory\, including intersubjective conjunctions and disjunctions; the repetitive and developmental dimensions of the transference; and the intersubjective understanding of trauma. Through case presentations\, participants will learn to apply these concepts in clinical situations. \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \nUpon completion of this workshop\, participants should be able to: \n\nDefine intersubjective disjunctions and conjunctions and describe how they manifest in the therapeutic relationship.\nIdentify and apply strategies to repair ruptures caused by intersubjective disjunctions in therapy.\nRecognize and address unrecognized intersubjective conjunctions\, understanding their potential impact on treatment dynamics.\nDefine transference and countertransference from an intersubjective perspective and differentiate between the repetitive and developmental dimensions of the transference.\nDescribe the difference between the forward edge and the trailing edge of the transference\, and explain when to focus on each dimension in treatment.\nApply intersubjectivity theory to therapeutic practice\, with a focus on helping patients maintain and cultivate a sense of hope and possibility during challenging times.\nIntegrate intersubjective theory concepts into clinical case work\, demonstrating increased facility in recognizing and working with intersubjective dynamics in diverse clinical settings.\n\n  \nCOURSE OUTLINE – 2 HOURS: \n12:30-1:15 pm \nInstructor will provide an in-depth analysis of a core concept in \nIntersubjectivity theory. Each class will focus on one of the following \nConcepts:  \n\nIntersubjective disjunctions and conjunctions.\nRupture and repair.\nRecognizing intersubjective conjunctions.\nThe intersubjective understanding of transference.\nThe forward edge and the trailing edge of the transference.\nThe repetitive and developmental dimensions of the transference.\nHow and when to work in each dimension of the transference.\nIdentifying and strengthening patients’ sense of possibility\n\n1:15-2:30 pm \nA participant will present a case and the class will discuss the case with the aim of integrating the theoretical concepts discussed in the first part of the class with actual clinical material. \n  \nCONTENT CURRICULUM \n1) How program content will build upon the foundation of a completed doctoral program in psychology: \nStudents in doctoral programs in psychology are usually introduced to basic psychoanalytic and psychodynamic concepts. They rarely receive any exposure to Intersubjectivity theory and other contemporary psychoanalytic theories\, or to the many ideas about the treatment process Intersubjectivity theory proposes. This course builds upon students’ doctoral level familiarity with basic psychoanalytic concepts to introduce them to more contemporary ways of thinking and practicing. \n2) How content is specifically relevant to psychological practice\, education\, or science: \nMany clinical psychologists struggle with how to successfully help patients who are struggling with maintaining a sense of hope and possibility. Some therapists share their patients’ sense of hopelessness\, and are unable to treat it effectively.  Other therapists become frustrated when their patients don’t share their hopefulness.  This content is specifically designed to give therapists more conceptual tools\, and practice in applying them\, so they can successfully treat patients who are struggling to maintain a sense of hope and possibility in their lives. \n3)  Target audience and instructional level of content (introductory\, intermediate\, or advanced): \nThe content for this course is intermediate. It assumes that participants have had some postgraduate clinical experience and that they have a basic familiarity with psychoanalytic ideas such as transference. \n4) Limitations of the content taught and their most common risks: \nI do not believe that there are risks to this material if people understand it well. One of the main objectives of contemporary psychoanalytic practice is not to injure our patients. One of the main objectives of this course is to help therapists work effectively so that their patients are able to achieve their goals without being retraumatized by their therapy. The limitations are that no one should ever rely on one group of theories in their work. There is nothing in contemporary psychoanalysis that precludes the use of CBT\, DBT\, or any other non psychoanalytic technique when that technique will be useful to the patient. \n5) How content reflects the appreciation of diverse populations: \nThe entire emphasis of contemporary psychoanalysis—and\, especially\, of Intersubjectivity theory—is that each patient and therapist brings his or her entire self into the treatment. This includes individual\, cultural\, and role differences. A major focus of this course is understanding how these differences play a role in the treatment\, and how understanding how best to work with them can enrich the therapeutic process. \n  \n\nBIO: \nJane Rubin\, PhD\, PhD\, PsyD\, received her PhD in philosophy from UC Berkeley and her PhD in clinical psychology from the Wright Institute. She did her psychoanalytic training at the Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis in Los Angeles. She is in private practice in Berkeley. \n  \n\nCOST:  \nCIP Member Rate:  \n$400 early registration up to 10 days prior to first session\, $480 after      \nNon-member Rate:   \n$480 early registration up to 10 days prior to first session\, $560 after \nCEs: 16 CEs for LMFTs & LCSW\, LPCCs and 16 CEs for Psychologists.  Certificates issued after completion of 8 sessions. \nThe Community Institute for Psychotherapy is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists.

SUMMARY:Ascending Spiral Paths: An Integrated Approach to Understanding Personality Development Using Jungian and Psychoanalytic Theory  Presented by: Dr. Matthew Bennett\, PhD [Study Group] [4-Days]
DESCRIPTION:Four sessions\, the second Saturday of the month: Dec. 14\, 2024; Jan 11\, Feb. 8\, Mar. 8\, 2025  | 10:00am – 12:00pm \n  \nNARRATIVE:  \nPsychologist\, lecturer\, and author Dr. Matthew Bennett will review the content of his recently released book\, Integrated Analytical Psychology: Return to Freedom and Dignity.  The author reviews an integrative circumplex model of personality development combining the Jungian perspective of archetypal thematic content with psychoanalytic models emphasizing self-psychology and the progressive influence of defenses in personality development.  The integrative analytical model integrates an ascending evolution of mental representation ranging from archetypal origins to manifested behavioral traits\, with four thematic “quadrants” comprising content of the personality styles depicted in the literature of applied clinical psychology.  An evolutionary ascending spiral path ties together the levels and quadrants of personality development in a compelling narrative of personality development which combines Jungian emphasis on archetypal experience with psychoanalytic sensibilities around defensive styles and their role in evolution of a sense of self. \n  \nGOALS: \nParticipants will be able to: \n\nDifferentiate among 6 levels of mental representation represented in psychoanalytic\, Jungian\, and cognitive-behavioral theoretical perspectives: archetype\, symbol\, object\, complex\, schema\, and self.\nApply knowledge of four key personality organizations to psychotherapeutic methodology: schizoid\, narcissistic\, histrionic\, and depressive personalities.\nDescribe key features of deterministic chaos theory and complex adaptive systems theory in relation to personality development.\nExplain how knowledge of the above mentioned theories may be applied to psychotherapeutic process to enhance treatment outcomes for clients with psychopathology that arises from personality development.\n\n  \nSCHEDULE: \n8:30 am           Registration \n9 – 9:15           Introduction of presenter \n9:15 – 10:00    Mental Representation and its role in Personality Development \nArchetype \nSymbol \nObject \nComplex \nSchema \nSelf \n10:00 – 10:30  Archetypal Axes of Personality Development \n10:30 – 10:45 Break \n10:45 – 12:00  The Spiral Developmental Path and the Archetypal Quadrants \n1st Quadrant:   Sensitive Personalities \n2nd Quadrant:  Imperial Personalities \n3rd Quadrant:   Radiant Personalities \n4th Quadrant:   Depressive Personalities \n  \nCONTENT CURRICULM \nThis seminar builds upon key theoretical perspectives on mental representation drawn from psychoanalytic theory\, including object relations\, self psychology\, and intersubjective theory\, as well as Jungian and post-Jungian perspectives\, as well as complexity theory related to deterministic chaos and complex adaptive systems. \nThis presentation directly informs the clinical praxis of understanding and conceptualizing personality styles including direct explication of considerations for psychotherapeutic management. The presentation includes a review of theoretical considerations as well as praxis considerations which directly inform treatment planning\, case conceptualization\, and the boundaries established in psychotherapy. \nThe content of this presentation represents intermediate level application of principles of psychodynamically informed psychotherapy.  It presumes basic level knowledge of the assumptions and world-view inherent to several models of psychoanalytic psychotherapy (that is\, basic knowledge the principles of object relations\, self psychology\, and related concepts). \nThe content of this presentation is comprehensively based in the established literature of contemporary psychoanalytically informed psychotherapy\, especially as it related to the function and role of anxiety in human experience and behavior.  The theoretical concepts and applied methodologies are characteristic of the broadly accepted principles and theoretical frames associated with this well documented model of psychotherapy.  The inherent limitations of this content include the well-documented difficulties in establishing the empirical evidence of efficacy among competing models of psychotherapy\, which are complicated by competing assumptions about what represents desirable outcomes (for example\, perspectives on reducing versus tolerating anxiety\, or the degree to which anxiety may be understood as adaptive or functional).  The risks involved in this presented content include transient discomfort and emotional impact involved in addressing anxiety states that will be familiar experiences for participants. \nThis presentation will include a discussion of the cultural\, racial\, and gender-based differences in the way personality structure manifests and is subjectively experienced.  For example\, the discussion will include analysis of the complex role of gender in the manifestation of relational needs in personality development. \n  \n\nBIO: \nDr. Bennett is a licensed psychologist\, lecturer\, and administrator with experience in public sector mental health and substance abuse treatment. His clinical background is in inpatient psychiatric settings and outpatient community mental health settings. He was formerly founder and first Director of Training for the Ventura County Behavioral Health Pre-Doctoral Internship in Clinical Psychology and Chair of the Santa Barbara County Psychological Association.  He is a core faculty member at Pacifica Graduate Institute and currently chairs the Department of Counseling Psychology at Pacifica. His research interests include personality disorders\, comparative personality theory\, and internet applications for mental health. Dr. Bennett is also a returned Peace Corps volunteer (Poland III\, 1991-1993).  He maintains a private practice in addition to his administration and teaching responsibilities. \n  \n\nCOST:  \nCIP Members:\n$160 early registration up to 10 weekdays prior to first session\, $200 after \nNon-Members:\n$200 early registration up to 10 weekdays prior to first session\, $240 after \nCEs: 8 CEs for LMFTs & LCSWs and 8 CEs for Psychologists.

SUMMARY:Anxiety\, Identity\, and the Therapy Relationship: Intersubjective Approaches to Resistance to Change  Presented by: Jane Rubin\, PhD [Study Group] [8-Days]
DESCRIPTION:Eight sessions\, the third Friday of the month: Oct. 18\, Nov 15\, Dec 20\, 2024 | Jan 17\, Feb 21\, Mar 21\, Apr 18\, May 16\, 2025 | 12:30 – 2:30 pm \nNARRATIVE:\nIt’s a truism in therapy\, and in our culture in general\, that change is difficult. Some kinds of change are more difficult than others\, however. One of the most difficult\, if not the most difficult\, kinds of personal change is one that involves a fundamental shift in an individual’s sense of identity. \nOne sign of the difficulty of this kind of change is the catastrophic anxiety that often accompanies. Loss of relationships\, natural disasters\, life-threatening illnesses\, and many other predictions of doom can be signs that an individual is on the precipice of making deep changes in their understanding of who they are. \nPopular recommendations for dealing with catastrophic anxiety leave it up to the individual. A random web search produces recommendations such as “Catastrophic thoughts are more likely to take over when experiencing fatigue or stress. Getting enough rest and engaging in stress-relieving techniques\, such as exercise\, meditation\, and journaling\, can all help a person feel better.” \nThere’s nothing wrong with these recommendations. However\, from the point of view of intersubjectivity theory\, they leave out the most important thing–the relational context in which catastrophic anxieties arise. Past and present relationships and\, most crucially\, our patients’ relationships with us\, are critical in determining whether our patients overcome their catastrophic fears or are undone by them. \nIn this course\, we’ll examine intersubjective approaches to understanding and treating fear of the kind of change that involves questions like: Who will I be if I’m not the person my significant others seem to need me to be? Will I destroy my relationships with my significant others if I become the person I want and need to be? How do I know who I want to be? \nTopics will include: 1) Robert Stolorow’s concept of existential anxiety; 2) Steven Stern’s concept of psychic homelessness; 3) Leonard Shengold’s ideas about the relationship between change and loss and 4) Bernard Brandchaft’s concept of the dread not to repeat. \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES \nUpon completion of this workshop\, participants should be able to: \n\nUnderstand the difference between catastrophic anxiety and other forms of anxiety.\nIdentify four signs that a patient is experiencing catastrophic anxiety.\nDescribe at least four ways catastrophic anxiety can manifest itself in the relationship between patient and therapist.\nDescribe how to work in the transference to reduce catastrophic anxiety.\nDescribe the relationship between catastrophic anxiety and anxious attachment.\nDescribe the relationship between catastrophic anxiety and disorganized attachment.\n\nThe seminar will include discussion of readings\, followed by case presentations by the participants. The case presentations are intended to help participants effectively translate the ideas in the readings from theory to practice. Participants should develop greater facility in recognizing\, and helping patients to find relief from\, catastrophic anxiety. \n  \nCOURSE OUTLINE: \n12:30-1:15 pm \nInstructor will provide an in-depth analysis of a core concept in intersubjectivity theory’s understanding of catastrophic anxiety. Each class will focus on one of the following concepts: \n\n\n\nDefining catastrophic anxiety.\nThe relationship between existential anxiety and catastrophic anxiety.\nHow psychic homelessness contributes to catastrophic anxiety.\nHow major losses contribute to catastrophic anxiety.\nThe  relationship between pathological accommodation and catastrophic anxiety.\nHow to recognize the  signs that a patient is experiencing catastrophic anxiety.\nHow to recognize transference manifestations of catastrophic anxiety.\nHow to work in the transference to reduce catastrophic anxiety.\n\n\n\n1:15-2:30 pm \nA participant will present a case and the class will discuss the case with the aim of integrating the theoretical concepts discussed in the first part of the class with actual clinical material. \n  \nCONTENT CURRICULUM \nStudents in doctoral programs in psychology are usually introduced to basic psychoanalytic and psychodynamic concepts.

This course builds upon students’ doctoral level familiarity with basic psychoanalytic concepts to introduce them to more contemporary ways of thinking and practicing. \nMany clinical psychologists struggle with how to successfully help patients who are struggling with overwhelming\, seemingly irrational\, anxieties. Sometimes they blame their patients for not getting better. Other times\, they blame themselves for being ineffective. This content is specifically designed to give therapists more conceptual tools\, and practice in applying them\, so they can successfully treat patients who suffer from catastrophic anxieties. \nThe content for this course is intermediate.

SUMMARY:From Accommodation to Emancipation: Insights from Contemporary Psychoanalysis on Finding Freedom from Traumatic Attachments  - Presented by Jane Rubin\, PhD\, PhD\, PsyD [Study Group] [8 Sessions]
DESCRIPTION:Eight sessions\, the third Friday of the month:\nOct 20\, Nov 17\, Dec 15\, 2023; Jan 19\, Feb 16\, Mar 15\, Apr 19\, May 17\, 2024 \n  \n\nNARRATIVE: \n\nMost patients come into therapy with hope for relief from their traumas\, and with dread that therapy itself will be traumatizing. Anna Ornstein famously referred to this dread as “the dread to repeat” — patients’ anxiety that their therapists will treat them the same way as the traumatizing figures of their past. \nSelf-psychology and intersubjectivity theory have developed an extensive literature about how therapists can recognize the dread to repeat\, and how we can act in ways that\, over time\, both help patients to understand their trauma and its effect on their lives\, and to feel less potentially traumatized by the therapy process itself. \nIn many essays over the course of his career\, the self-psychologist Bernard Brandchaft identified an equally powerful anxiety that therapists often fail to recognize – what he called “the dread not to repeat.” The dread not to repeat is the overwhelming anxiety that accompanies the loosening of emotional ties to traumatizing figures. It is often responsible for situations in which therapy grinds to a halt\, or even seems to be going backwards\, as patients seem to surrender the gains they’ve made and return to the emotional patterns that brought them into treatment in the first place. \nHelping patients overcome these anxieties\, so they can free themselves from the traumatic attachments that are imprisoning them\, requires recognizing when patients are exhibiting the dread to repeat and when they are exhibiting the dread not to repeat\, and adjusting our interventions accordingly. Failure to do this can result in treatments that can feel stuck\, and that become frustrating to both patient and therapist. \nIn this class\, we’ll study the work of Brandchaft\, along with other practitioners of contemporary self-psychology and intersubjectivity theory\, to understand how to recognize the difference between the dread to repeat and the dread not to repeat\, and to work effectively to help patients free themselves from traumatic attachments. \nTopics will include: 1) the difference between the dread to repeat and the dread not to repeat\, and how to work effectively with each; 2) the importance of tracking patients’ affective shifts from enthusiasm to malaise; 3) pathological accommodation\, and how to recognize and work with it; 4) working with depression; 5) working with obsessional disorders. \nThe seminar will include discussion of readings\, followed by case presentations by the participants. The case presentations are intended to help participants effectively translate the ideas of Brandchaft and other writers from theory to practice. Participants should develop greater facility in recognizing\, and helping patients to find relief from\, traumatic attachments. \n  \n2. LEARNING OBJECTIVES:  \nUpon completion of this workshop\, participants should be able to: \n\nExplain the difference between the dread to repeat\, and the dread not to repeat.\nDescribe three different techniques for working with the dread to repeat versus the dread not to repeat.\nDemonstrate three effective ways of tracking affective shifts from enthusiasm to malaise.\nDefine pathological accommodation and explain how it differs from other forms of attachment.\nExplain the difference between trailing edge and forward edge transferences.\nDemonstrate three ways of working with forward edge versus trailing edge transferences.\nExplain three ways of working with depressive disorders from an intersubjective perspective.\nExplain how to work with obsessional disorders from an intersubjective perspective.\n\n  \n3. COURSE OUTLINE – 3 HOURS:  \n12:30-1:15 pm \nInstructor will provide an in-depth analysis of a core concept in intersubjectivity theory. Each class will focus on one of the following concepts: 1) the difference between the dread to repeat and the dread not to repeat; 2) the different techniques for working with the dread to repeat versus the dread not to repeat; 3) effective ways of tracking affective shifts from enthusiasm to malaise; 4) pathological accommodation\, and explain how it differs from other forms of attachment; 5) trailing edge and forward edge transferences; 6) how to work with forward edge versus trailing edge transferences; 7) working with depressive disorders; 8) working with obsessional disorders. \n1:15-2:30 pm \nA participant will present a case and the class will discuss the case with the aim of integrating the theoretical concepts discussed in the first part of the class with actual clinical material. \n  \n4. CONTENT CURRICULUM \n\nStudents in doctoral programs in psychology are usually introduced to basic psychoanalytic and psychodynamic concepts. They rarely receive any exposure to contemporary psychoanalysis and to the many ideas about the treatment process it proposes. This course builds upon students’ doctoral level familiarity with basic psychoanalytic concepts to introduce them to more contemporary ways of thinking and practicing.\nMany clinical psychologists struggle with how to successfully work with patients who seem to regress at a certain point in their therapy. They often come to the conclusion that the therapy has been a failure\, and they blame themselves for this. This content is specifically designed to give therapists more conceptual tools\, and practice in applying them\, so they can recognize when pathological accommodation is keeping patients from making further progress in therapy.\nThe content for this course is intermediate. It assumes that participants have had some postgraduate clinical experience\, and that they have a basic familiarity with psychoanalytic ideas such as transference.\nI don’t believe that there are risks to this material if people understand it well. One of the main objectives of contemporary psychoanalytic practice is not to injure our patients. One of the main objectives of this course is to help therapists work effectively so that their patients are able to achieve their goals without being retraumatized by their therapy. The limitations are that no one should ever rely on one group of theories in their work. There is nothing in contemporary psychoanalysis that precludes the use of CBT\, DBT\, or any other non-psychoanalytic technique when that technique will be useful to the patient.\nThe entire emphasis of contemporary psychoanalysis—and\, especially\, of self-psychology\, intersubjectivity theory\, and specificity theory—is that each patient and therapist brings his or her entire self into the treatment. This includes individual\, cultural\, and role differences. A major focus of this course is understanding how these differences play a role in the treatment\, and how understanding how best to work with them can enrich the therapeutic process.\n\n  \n\nCOST:  \nCIP Members:\n$260 early registration up to 10 weekdays prior to first session\, $280 after \nNon-Members:\n$340 early registration up to 10 weekdays prior to first session\, $360 after \nCEs: 16 CEs for LMFTs & LCSWs and 16 CEs for Psychologists.

SUMMARY:Finding Confidence In an Age of Uncertainty: How Ideas From Contemporary Psychoanalysis Can Strengthen Clinical Decision Making  - Presented by Jane Rubin\, PhD\, PhD\, PsyD [STUDY GROUP] [EIGHT SESSIONS]
DESCRIPTION:Eight sessions\, the third Friday of the month:\nOct 21\, Nov 18\, Dec 16\, 2022; Jan 20\, Feb 17\, Mar 17\, Apr 21\, May 19\, 2023 \n  \nNarrative \nThe truths that classical psychoanalysis held to be absolute and unchanging–that the therapist is a blank screen whose personality plays no role in the therapeutic process; that self-disclosure can never be used to further therapeutic aims; that transference is a projection that has nothing to do with the therapist’s actual personality\, and so on– are no longer accepted by the vast majority of psychoanalytically informed psychotherapists. These principles have been replaced by the awareness that uncertainty is an inescapable feature of much of our clinical decision-making. \nWhile the abandonment of principles that seemed to impede\, rather than facilitate\, the therapeutic process has largely been greeted with a sense of liberation\, it has also led to a great deal of confusion. How do we make clinical judgments when there are no clear ground rules? What is transference if it’s not projection? How do we work with it? How do we know when to self-disclose and when not to? When is it best to offer interpretations\, and when do other kinds of responses better facilitate the goals of treatment? When do we stay focused on the patient’s perspective\, and when do we introduce our own? These are only a few of the questions that inform our everyday thinking about our work. \nContemporary psychoanalysis provides no definitive answers to these questions. However\, it has developed a rich literature that attempts to deepen our understanding of how we can work effectively and confidently in this changed landscape while resisting the temptation to create a new set of absolute\, inflexible rules. Self psychology\, intersubjectivity theory\, and specificity theory\, in particular\, have introduced a whole range of concepts\, from optimal responsiveness\, to self and mutual regulation\, to the distinction between the leading and trailing edges of the transference\, to give new depth to our understanding of how we can be effective agents of healing for our patients. \nIn this study group\, we’ll explore the ideas that contemporary self psychology\, intersubjectivity theory\, and specificity theory have developed to enrich our understanding of the clinical relationship and give us greater confidence in our ability to make sound clinical judgments. \nTopics will include: 1) Optimal responsiveness and how to become a more optimally responsive clinician; 2) Different dimensions of the transference and how to work effectively within them; 3) Self and other focused listening\, and the clinical contexts in which each should be used; 4) Constructing model scenes and using them effectively; 5) The roles of self and mutual regulation in the therapeutic relationship. \nThe seminar will include discussion of readings\, followed by case presentations by the participants. The case presentations are intended to help participants effectively translate the foundational clinical concepts of self psychology\, intersubjectivity theory and specificity theory from theory to practice. Participants should develop greater confidence in using these concepts to strengthen their clinical judgment. \n  \nLearning Objectives \nUpon completion of this workshop\, participants should be able to: \n\nExplain optimal frustration and optimal responsiveness\, and how they differ from each other.\nExplain the difference between needed relationships and repeated relationships\, and use clinical examples to demonstrate how to work in each mode.\nDefine self and other related listening\, and identify the clinical contexts in which each listening style should be employed.\nDefine model scenes and formulate them for their current cases.\nExplain the difference between the leading edge and the trailing edge of the transference.\nExplain self and mutual regulation\, and how they contribute to optimally responsive clinical interventions.\nExplain enactments from the perspective of intersubjectivity theory and specificity theory.\nDefine the role of interpretation in optimally responsive treatments.\n\nBio \nJane Rubin\, PhD\, PhD\, PsyD\, received her PhD in philosophy from UC Berkeley and her PhD in clinical psychology from the Wright Institute. She did her psychoanalytic training at the Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis in Los Angeles. She is in private practice in Berkeley. \n  \n\nCOST:  \nCIP Members: \n$260 early registration 10 business days prior to course; $280 after \nNon-Members:  \n$340 early registration up to 10 business days prior to course\, $360 after \nCEs: 16 CEs for LMFTs\, LCSWs\, and Psychologists.

SUMMARY:Working Intersubjectively: The Clinical Relationship as the Source of Meaningful Change – Presented by Jane Rubin\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Eight sessions\, the third Fridays of the month: \nOctober 18\, November 15\, December 20\, 2019\, January 17\, February 21\, March 20\, April 17 & May 15\, 2020 | 12:30 – 2:30 pm \nNarrative: Intersubjectivity theory sees the relationship between patient and therapist as the primary source of psychological change. It provides a complex understanding of the clinical relationship that includes new ways of thinking about transference and countertransference\, and how therapists’ misunderstandings of the ways they affect their patients can exacerbate the very problems they’re trying to treat. \nIn this seminar\, 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 understanding and working with intersubjective conjunctions and disjunctions; understanding the repetitive and developmental dimensions of the transference; and how affects organize self-experience. 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 using the clinical relationship to facilitate meaningful psychological change. \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.

SUMMARY:Re-opening the Royal Road: A Practical Guide to Dreams – Presented by Meredith Sabini\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Four sessions\, on Fridays: \nOctober 11\, November 8\, December 13\, 2019 & January 10\, 2020 | 12:15 – 2:15 pm \nNarrative: The royal road to dreams has been undergoing repairs and there is a welcome shift toward direct engagement with dream imagery and narrative and away from formulaic interpreting. Your good observational skills and thoughtful questions are more than adequate to open a dream dialogue with clients. Using sample dreams from the instructor and participants\, we will see how readily dreams come to life as we identify their main theme\, the dreamer’s stance\, dynamic tension\, resources\, and affects. Its meanings and purposes emerge naturally as these components are explored. This user-friendly approach also helps clients experience dreams as a personal resource with which they can engage on their own. \nThis study group will also cover the common metaphors by which therapy is represented in dreams and how these can help orient the work. Dream markers found to correlate with trauma\, bipolarity\, borderline\, suicide risk\, and psychosis will be noted. Emphasis is on how your own and clients’ dreams can become your consultant in any clinical setting\, whether the modality is short-term or long; somatic\, cognitive\, affective\, or relational. Clinicians of any experience level and orientation welcome. \nMeredith Sabini\, PhD is founder/director of The Dream Institute of Northern California\, in Berkeley\, and a state CE Provider since 1997. She is widely published in the field of dream studies and has specialized in dream education and consultation for 30 years. She is CIP’s director of Dream Training \n\nCOST:  \nNon Members:\n$160 early registration\, up to 10 days prior to first session\, $180 after \nCIP Members:\n$130 early registration\, up to 10 days prior to first session\, $150 after \nCEs: 8 CEs for LMFTs and LCSWs and 8 CEs for Psychologists (Certificates issued after completion of the 8 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: 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.

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. G.
