Working with Survivor Siblings in Psychoanalysis: Ability and Disability in Clinical Process explores a previously neglected area in the field of psychoanalysis, addressing undertheorized concepts on siblings, disabilities and psychic survivorship, and broadening our conceptualization of the enduring effects of lateral relations on human development. What happens to a person’s sense of self both personally and professionally when they grow up alongside a severely disabled sibling? This presentation will explore the themes that emerged in the book through a series of qualitative interviews held between the author and a sample of psychoanalysts-- all of whom grew up alongside a disabled sibling.

Same Time Next Week: The Power of Couples Group Therapy

Presentation by: Ginger M. Sullivan, MA, LPC, CGP, AGPA-F 

Location: Alamo Heights United Methodist Church
825 E Basse Rd, San Antonio, TX 78209

Are you looking to add an exciting and potent treatment modality to your clinical practice?

Join us for an exciting day of exploring all things couples group therapy – the what, the why, and the how.

In the morning, we will explore the odd-yet-winsome unique blend of modern analysis and Relational Life Therapy (RLT), a form of couple’s therapy which espouses full-respect living, with a heavy emphasis on truth telling.  RLT sets the frame and tells the story.  Modern analysis rewrites the story.  We will identify relational styles and how it detracts from psychological maturation and satisfying connection.  Essential concepts, such as grandiosity and shame, will be demonstrated experientially and didactically.

After lunch, these concepts will come to life in an Experiential Mock Couples Group Therapy.

Whether you plan to run a couple’s therapy group or not, the combination of these approaches can provide new and creative ways of working with individual couples.

"CREATIVE APPROACHES TO TRAUMA PROCESSING AND RESILIENCE-BUILDING IN AN AGE OF MASS TRAUMA II

PRESENTED BY:

CRAIG HAEN, PH.D., RDT, CGP, LCAT, AGPA-F

From school shootings to mass disasters, the past several years have offered no shortage of sudden and shocking events that have disrupted communities. Group therapists are ideally situated to respond to these events, both in the immediate aftermath and throughout the extended period of recovery. This daylong workshop offers training on clinical work in the context of community and shared traumatic events, with a particular emphasis on the use of art-based, experiential, and embodied approaches. Such techniques are particularly useful in establishing safety, promoting self-regulation, and making meaning in the face of events that often defy the use of language.

Topics will include the impact and nature of mass trauma; factors influencing individual and community responses; building resilience within the professional self; distinguishing between acute and long-term intervention; and the incorporation of creative approaches within group and individual modalities. Attendees will engage with both theory and practice, including in vivo demonstration of experiential techniques.

WHEN: FRIDAY, APRIL 14, 2023 9:00-4:30*

WHERE: BISHOP JONES CENTER CHAPEL HOUSE

6 CE hours

*Lunch will be provided
