  COURSE DETAILS

  Description: We will use the writings of Philip Bromberg, Ph.D.* to help us understand and use the relational interplay between analyst/therapist in our work with patients. Dr. Bromberg’s work includes the concept of the normality of “multiplicity of the mind” which refers to the presence of self-states involving various dimensions of self and other experience. Self-state experiences are influenced through earliest relationships whether supportive or traumatic. His work includes significant references to experiences of trauma and shame and significance for self-experience.

  Bromberg looks at the therapeutic relationship including reactions by patients and by analysts/therapists as important avenues towards bringing more cohesion to our patients’ minds.

  During the clinical section of the class, we will look at patient and therapist and experiences to help us understand and develop interventions.

  *Philip Bromberg died in 2020 after having taught and written extensively. His articles are published in various psychoanalytic journals and available on PEPWEB, as well as being compiled in books including: Standing in the Spaces: and the Growth of the Relational Mind, The Shadow of the Tsunami: and the Growth of the Relational Mind, Awakening the Dreamer: Clinical Journeys.

  Objectives: (after this discussion, participants should be able to):
  

  1. Discuss the influence of the concept of normally occurring self-states, including those that are hidden and or segregated through dissociative processes.
  2. Discuss recognition of one’s own self-state experiences in tandem with those of patients in order to facilitate effective interventions.

  Instructor Biography: Margy Stewart, Psy.D. is a psychoanalyst/psychologist. She recently retired from patient work but she continues to teach and consult. She is on the faculty of the Denver Institute for Psychoanalysis and past president of the Denver Psychoanalytic Society. She has taught many continuing education courses through the Society.

  Format: The class will be held on ZOOM. The beginning of each class will be a review of the assigned articles. The second part of the class will be presentations of case material by participants. Participants will be contacted before the first class to find a volunteer to present material on the first day. That day we will determine who will present material for the other classes.

  The purpose of the film series is to encourage psychoanalytic dialogue with respect to creativity and movies. 

  Description: Germany today. During project week, high school teacher Rainer Wenger (Jürgen Vogel) comes up with an experiment in order to explain to his students how totalitarian governments work. A role-playing game with tragic results begins. Within a few days, what began with harmless notions like discipline and community builds into a real movement: The Wave. By the third day, the students start ostracizing and threatening others. When the conflict finally erupts into violence at an intramural water polo game, the teacher decides to break off the experiment. But it's too late. The Wave is out of control...  - Summary found on YouTube
