What changes when we view psychoanalytic theory from the lens of embodiment? Nothing—and everything! While there is no disputing the enduring relevance of the psychoanalytic concepts that have become known as repression/dissociation, transference, resistance, and interpretation, Doris Brothers and Jon Sletvold believe that these are radically transformed when a body-based approach replaces traditional concept-based theorising.
READ MORE...This transformation involves shifts in language, conceptualisation and practice and offers a model for contemporary, bodily-informed psychoanalytical psychotherapy that is highly effective.
In this series of seminars and live supervisions, we will be viewing the body as the indispensable foundation of the mind, elaborating new concepts and vocabularies for psychoanalysis. They will be sharing specific, often transformational moments in the clinical exchange, which show what they experienced in their bodies and the thoughts and fantasies that attended these bodily feelings. They will be offering a fresh understanding of the widely accepted “dissociation-enactment” model and a view of analytic therapy as meetings between “foreign bodies.”
Firmly ground in both theory and practice, each session will include a theoretical presentation, dialogue with participants, a one-one live supervision applying the practice, and a whole group exercise using Jon and Doris’s model of embodied supervision. There will also be mid-monthly meetings in which participants can share experiences of how this embodied understanding is impacting their work.
