Boston
Institute for Psychotherapy
presents
Thinking About Feeling
The Central Role of Affect in the
Therapeutic Process
2009 - 2010
Introduction
The Boston Institute for Psychotherapy is offering our year-long course
on affect in psychodynamic clinical work to the professional community.
Our belief is that affect is central to clinical work, though not aalways
recognized in the theories of development and treatment that
constitute our training. We address affect from different perspectives,
neurobiologically, developmentally, and through contemporary writings.This seminar will integrate theory and practice,
using clinical vignettes or presentations for illustration and grounding
of theory. Participants
enjoy sharing their work in a supportive and collegial atmosphere. students will develop an awareness of affective transactions and new approaches to working with them.
PLEASE CHECK THIS SITE later in the summer of 2009 for information about future Affect courses.
