WHEN KOHUT MEETS BUDDHA

Gerti Schoen

Thursday, March 18, 2010
7:00 - 8:30 pm
(West 30s office)

Self psychology and Buddhism share an emphasis on self exploration, uncovering true beliefs, and, ultimately, insight and acceptance. Furthermore, the relationship between therapist and patient resembles the student-teacher relationship in the zendo. This workshop introduces such important concepts of Buddhism and self psychology as self, false self, and no self and offers participants the opportunity to explore the overlap.

ROCKIN' AND ROLLIN' WITH COUPLES IN THE LAND OF SELF PSYCHOLOGY

Louisa Livingston

Friday, April 9, 2010
6:30 - 8:00 pm
(East 30s office)

When the members of a couple struggle with conflicting needs, the therapy setting is awash in powerful affects. In this mix of strong emotion, the therapist must navigate through the longings and perceptions of more than one patient. Self psychology offers the couples therapist an opportunity to work with the interplay of competing needs. This workshop will introduce participants to this clarifying perspective to couples work.

ATTACHMENT IN SELF PSYCHOLOGICAL PSYCHOLOGY

Grete Laine

Friday, April 23, 2010
5:30 - 7:00 pm
(East 60s office)

The need for attuned responsiveness is highlighted by both attachment theory and self psychology, both of which then provide pathways to repair wounds sustained in the absence of such attuned responsiveness. This workshop will introduce participants to attachment theory and its relevance for self psychology, in addition to providing opportunities to discuss the clinical implications involved.

THE SELF PSYCHOLOGY OF DESPAIR Peter Zimmermann Wednesday, May 12, 2010 7:30 - 9:00 pm (West 80s office) Freud called it melancholia; today it is typically referred to as affective disorder. From a self psychological perspective, however, it is better understood as despair. By reasserting the meaning of despair, albeit the self-psychological meaning, this workshop offers an antidote to the current formulations that view depression and bipolar disorder exclusively as a result of a breakdown in the brain chemistry.
