The Rough Patch in Marriage: Working with Couples Psychoanalytically
– Daphne de Marneffe, PhD [SEMINAR]
$130.00 – $150.00
Narrative: Empirical and clinical research on couple processes and couple therapy has expanded in the last thirty years. Simultaneously, psychoanalytic views of development and therapeutic action have incorporated findings from research on attachment, mentalization, and emotion. This seminar provides a grounding in current theories of mentalization, couple therapy, and adult development as a vehicle for considering the crises and challenges of long-term intimate relationships and how to best work with them psychoanalytically. As therapists, we need to hold in tension…

Healing the Self Through Affect Integration: An Intersubjective Approach
– by Jane Rubin, PhD [SEMINAR]
$300 – $320
Narrative: What is the source of our patients’ suffering? How can we most effectively address it? There are as many psychoanalytic answers to these questions as there are psychoanalytic theories. From the perspective of intersubjectivity theory, many of the issues our patients struggle with—poor decision-making, difficulties establishing trusting relationships, addictions and other self-destructive behaviors, and more— are best understood as the consequence of their inability to experience a full range of affects. Intersubjectivity theory helps us understand why our patients have…

Deeper Impact, Wider Reach: Re-Imagining Kleinian Psychoanalysis
– by Jennifer Kunst, PhD [SEMINAR]
$130 – $150

Despite significant research showing their deep and lasting effects, psychoanalytic models are often relegated to…

– by Eliana Gil, PhD [SEMINAR]
$130 – $150
Narrative: This workshop will highlight the various ways that play therapy can decrease the family’s ambivalence about participating in therapy, as well as the ways that play therapy can engage families in positive and energetic interactions that can shift perspectives and increase connection so that family members can see each other as resources.

Jungian Work and the Apocalypse: Working with Boys and Men to Address Alienation
– Robert Tyminski, PhD [SEMINAR]
$130 – $150
Narrative: Many patients now state that they spend hours each day paying attention to screens rather than to real people around them. We’ll explore how cyberspace becomes an alternate container for many clients in distress. We will examine what this means for the psyche in terms of relationships and fantasies, especially apocalyptic fantasies of destruction. This seminar would address clinical work with boys, male adolescents, and young men, and include some anecdotal information regarding the same for girls and women.…
