SUMMARY:SEMINAR: EXISTENTIAL GROUP WORK with Karen Weixel Dixon
DESCRIPTION:The proposal that Being-in-the-world is always being with others is one that provides a sound basis for therapeutic group work in the existential model: (12 participants max.) \n“Psychology is neither ‘individual’ nor ‘group’\, except by abstraction” S.H. Foulkes \nThe proposal that Being-in-the-world is always being-with-others is one that provides a sound basis for therapeutic group work in the existential model. \nNo-one can do nothing in a group: everyone is in some part\, and in some way\, responsible for the quality of relationship(s) that are created. What better stage on which to discover how you are experienced\, how clear or ambiguous are your communications\, and under what circumstances might you retain or modify your intentions and strategies of being-with-others? \nFacilitator and group members are all in this together. Anyone can be a participant/observer\, but in any case\, everyone is being and doing. \nPart 1 of this two-part CPD event will consider some queries about the nature of the format. Why group work? What are the therapeutic possibilities and what might be the risks  for both facilitators and members? How is it the same and different from individual work? \nIn discussing these we will refer to some existential proposals that are particularly relevant for group work; inter-subjectivity\, time\, choice\, uncertainty\, the self\, meaning/meaninglessness- to name a few. These topics will serve to illuminate the process of group work and what it offers in terms of an existential phenomenological endeavour. \nTheory and practice will be presented as aspects of an attitude that informs an existential model. This premise will facilitate explorations of such issues as: What is the role of the facilitator?  What is the responsibility of the members? What are the possibilities for therapeutic interactions and effects? What are the possible implications of facilitator styles? These proposals are likely to be complementary to any humanistic model of therapy and counselling. \nPart 1 and 2 of this series are interconnected\, but may be taken independently.\nSubsequent to a brief summary and review of the basic points explored in part 1\, part 2 of this CPD event will continue with an exploration of process and procedure. This will include the issue of themes\, in contrast to ‘problems’\, and ‘dialogue’\, in contrast to structured interventions. \nThere will also be an opportunity to consider the temporal stages of the group: beginning\, middle and end\, all of which may be characterised by similar qualities and difficulties. ‘Endings’ as an issue that is present from the very beginning of the group will be discussed as a significant factor in all human relationships. \nThere will be a presentation of an existential phenomenological theory of emotions\, what makes them important\, and how to work with them. A review of common difficulties with procedure\, such as boundary settings and with inter-personal engagements\, such as conflict and drop-outs\, will facilitate a deeper appreciation of these aspects. \nThese proposals are likely to be complementary to any humanistic model of therapy and counselling. \nThose in attendance will be welcome to offer their own experiences and questions. \nCome join us for a one day afternoon seminar that will provide both experiential and theoretical material for the facilitation of and participation in existential groupwork. \nSecond date 18 November 2017

SUMMARY:ADVANCED EXISTENTIAL SUPERVISION with Prof Ernesto Spinelli
DESCRIPTION:These 4 Master Workshops provide the opportunity to ‘look again’ at our practice and re-view assumptions and expectations regarding being a therapist. \n“Group supervision sessions seek to provide participants with a safe\, yet challenging\, space\, to consider and address the issues that arise for them when discussing their own\, or another participant’s\, experience of being a therapist. They provide the opportunity to ‘look again’ at their practice and re-view their assumptions and expectations regarding being a therapist and doing therapy. Group supervision can be a valuable and enriching experience for all participants since even though the focus may be on a particular supervisee’s account\, it is likely that all participants will discover broader issues and concerns that resonate with their own encounters with clients.” Prof. Ernesto Spinelli

SUMMARY:SELVES\, DIVIDED SELVES AND EXISTENTIAL PHENOMENOLOGY with Prof Ernesto Spinelli
DESCRIPTION:The question of ‘the self’ and the issues that it raises for psychotherapy is a persistent and seemingly irresolvable dilemma. \nMany of the assumptions regarding ‘the self’ that are maintained by psychotherapists and psychologists a reveal decidedly dominant Western cultural bias and emphasis. We tend to speak of ‘the self’ as an object or thing. Equally\, we imagine ‘the self’ as originating from within us in some way and serving as agent of our thoughts and behaviour. Further we assume ‘the self’ to be singular and to remain more or less constant over time. We claim to be able to distinguish ‘the real self’ from false\, or alien\, manifestations. We claim to be able to “lose” our self and\, perhaps with the aid of psychotherapy\, to “find” our self once again. \nAll of these ideas\, and many more like them\, seem somewhat obvious and common sensical to most of us in the West. But what if other\, less attractive but equally far more challenging ideas regarding ‘the self’ were to be considered? What would be their impact upon psychotherapeutic interventions or our psychological understanding of ‘self’ in general? \nThis two-day workshop considers the issue of ‘the self’ from the standpoint of contemporary contributions from the British School of Existential Analysis. These contributions combine various strands and strategies derived from contemporary phenomenology\, narrative theory and post-modern discourse. \nIn brief\, this alternative way of thinking about ‘the self’ challenges each and every one of our “common-sense” biases and assumptions. \nAccording to this existential-phenomenological approach\, human existence reveals ‘the total\, indissoluble unity or interrelationship of the individual and his or her world … In the truest sense\, the [self] is viewed as having no existence apart from the world and the world as having no existence apart from persons … (Valle and King\, 1989: 7) \nSuch a view rejects the trend in modern personality theories which seeks to categorize or `typologize’ individuals or which attempts to divide and reduce people in terms of various `parts’ or components. Instead\, it aims to remain at a descriptive and open-ended level of analysis of human experience. \nConsidered in such ways\, ‘the self’ can be seen to be more ‘process-like’ rather than a set of characteristics or components. As such\, when speaking of ‘the self’ what we might actually be doing is attempting to ‘capture’ or structure lived experience from a particular point of focus that we are calling ‘the self’. Narrative theory\, for instance\, speaks in terms of ‘storying’. More generally\, it might become more appropriate to consider and discuss ‘the self-structure’. \nThe workshops will focus on central areas of concern regarding ‘the self-structure’. \nThey will focus on such topics as: \nThe self-construct as the central structure of reflective experience.\nThe impact of rigid or sedimented beliefs regarding a self-structure.\nThe dissociation of experience as a consequence of sedimentations in the self-structure.\nThe experience of divided\, dissociated or multiple ‘selves’ reconsidered from the standpoint of sedimentations in the self-structure and dissociations from lived experience.\nThe reconsideration of ‘unconscious’ mechanisms as views from psycho-analytic perspectives from the standpoint of sedimentations in the self-structure and dissociations from lived experience.\nThe reconsideration of ‘real’ versus ‘false’ manifestations of ‘the self’ sedimentations in the self-structure and dissociations from lived experience.\nWorking psychotherapeutically with the self-structure. \nDates: 28/1/2017 and 4/3/2017
