This five-day experiential workshop will focus on the centrality of the therapeutic relationship while emphasising the in-depth methods of a psychotherapy that integrates the client's affect, cognition, physiology and behaviour. The themes of this residential workshop may include life scripts, unconscious pre-reflective patterns, non-verbal communication, introjection, and physiological survival reactions.

This case discussion and supervision group is intended for psychotherapists and counsellors who want to further their understanding and refine their therapeutic skills in providing a Developmentally-based, Relationally-focused Integrative Psychotherapy for their clients.

The theoretical part of the Seminar will focus on the Unconscious communication between client and therapist as a language that speaks without words. The unconscious communication appears through transference and countertransference, through preverbal experience, implicit memory, and repressed fragments of explicit memory.

The Schizoid Process has been described as a split in a person’s sense of self that results in living a social façade. The British object-relations school of psychoanalysis described it as a violent splitting of the self, accompanied by excessive internal criticism that results in the other being experienced as a persecutor. These coping dynamics are observable in our clients’ silence, loneliness, and relational withdrawal — each of which can be viewed as manifestations of a Schizoid Process.

This two-day supervision workshop is for psychotherapists who want to refine both theoretical understanding and clinical methods in Developmentally-based, Relationally-focused Integrative Psychotherapy.
