ABOUT THE COURSE:
"We all have characteristic embodied styles of living, and with each style, there are clusters of attitudes, expectations, behaviors, and emotional processes that shape our possibilities and limits. This 4 part lecture series will look at how these styles emerge from the interplay of our various vulnerabilities and adaptive adjustments, and how they are dynamically interconnected with foundational themes, with self-protective patterns, with longings and with imaginative and creative capacities. We will also explore the implications of this orienting process in therapy." -Lynne Jacobs
INSTRUCTOR:
The instructor, Lynne Jacobs, Ph.D., has long been interested in the relational dimension of psychotherapy, and in integrating humanistic theories with contemporary psychoanalytic theories. Both a gestalt therapist and a psychoanalyst, she is a co-founder of Pacific Gestalt Institute. She is also a training and supervising analyst of the Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis (ICP) in Los Angeles. She teaches at ICP, and teaches gestalt therapists locally, nationally, and internationally. She has published numerous articles in both realms, and her most recent work is Relational Approaches in Gestalt Therapy (co-edited with Rich Hycner).
