The Self: Experience, Conceptualization and Buddhist Practice

5 consecutive Tuesdays, 6:00–7:40 pm. Beginning November 6

Instructor: Suzanne Ironbiter, PhD

"Like the related ideas of atman and tao in the East, the idea of the self is at least in part a product of cognition, grounded neither on faith nor on metaphysical speculation but on the experience that under certain conditions the unconscious spontaneously brings forth an archetypal symbol of wholeness. From this we must conclude that some such archetype occurs universally and is endowed with a certain numinosity."
—from C.G. Jung, Aion: Contributions to the Symbolism of the Self

One of the most challenging aspects of Buddha's teaching, both intellectually and experientially, is the doctrine that no self has inherent reality or independent existence. Buddhist meditation practices, studies and ethics are the path to that insight. This talk will explore the Buddhist no-self teachings and practices, and solicit discussion of how they relate to people's non-Buddhist views of self, and particularly to the Jungian archetype of the self as a universal symbol of wholeness.

Passion: What Can We Learn About It from Jung?

5 consecutive Mondays, 7:00–8:40pm  Beginning November 5

Instructor: David Rottman, MA

Human beings are born naturally passionate, according to Jung, but the "blocking of libido" (CW 5, p.170-171), as he called it, can lead to a feeling that life has lost its zest and enjoyment, as well as to a feeling of being stuck, or lost. Jung has much to say about how we can create a new channel for passion in work and relationships, in order to be creatively engaged and involved in our lives. In this course we will explore Jung's ideas about passion as well as the ideas of his main pupil, Marie-Louise Von Franz.

A Jungian Aesthetic: Art, Active Imagination, and the Creative Process

Tuesday, December 4, 2018  12:30 – 1:30 pm

Speaker: Maria Taveras, LCSW

A hundred years ago, in 1913, when Jung invented active imagination, a female voice from the unconscious said to him that what he was doing was art. Jung disparaged this anima figure as "that aesthetic lady" and protested emphatically: "It is not art!"

In 20th century modern art, there was a famous Freudian aesthetic based on free association – surrealism. Now in the 21st century, especially after the publication of Jung's Red Book, we have an opportunity, for the first time, to develop a Jungian aesthetic based on active imagination. What exactly is the relation between art, active imagination, and the creative process?

Maria Taveras, LCSW, is a Jungian analyst in private practice in New York City and an award-winning sculptor and painter of "Dream Art." Her website is www.jungiantherapy.com.

The Divine Mind: The Psychological History of God’s Inner Journey

Saturday, October 27, 2018  9:30am– 4:30pm


A daylong seminar led by
Michael Gellert, MA, LCSW

Contact hours: 6 CE contact hours for Licensed NYS Social Workers, Psychoanalysts and Creative Arts Therapists for this program.

An exploration of the Abrahamic God's evolution as depicted in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

The feeling remains that God is on the journey, too. – St. Teresa of Avila

All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware. – Martin Buber

The epic story of the Abrahamic God's inner journey begins in the Hebrew Bible, the common source of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. He emerges here as a living, textured personality as tormented as a Shakespearean character and as divided against humanity as the devil who personifies his dark side. Yet in heroic fashion, he embarks on a journey to greater consciousness, stretching into himself in the Talmud, New Testament, Qur'an, and Gnostic writings. Then finally, with and through the Jewish, Christian, and Islamic mystics, he discovers his true self as the absolute Godhead. He takes up residence in their psyches as their own Divine Mind or true self. What God learned from his journey might be something that we in turn could learn from and that could help us at the dawn of the twenty-first century. In this way, God's inner journey becomes a metaphor for our own.

The Biblical God's PTSD and Other Afflictions

An exploration of the origins, features, and healing of Yahweh's deep-seated wound and their implications for us.

The degree of character flexibility, the ability to open oneself to the outside world or to close oneself to it, depending on the situation, constitutes the difference between a reality-oriented and a neurotic character structure. – Wilhelm Reich

This presentation will focus on the profound disappointments and suffering that the biblical God encountered on his inner journey toward greater consciousness. We will explore how these contributed toward his trauma and other existential and clinical afflictions as illustrated in the Hebrew Bible. We will also discuss what it means historically and for us today that the God of Western and Islamic civilization suffered from these conditions. Special attention will be given to what Jung, among others, has called the "Yahweh complex." Our approach to God will be as a figure of the religious imagination rather than as a representation of an objective Godhead.

An Archetypal View of Jung’s Typology through the Lens of Astrological Symbolism

5 consecutive Tuesdays, 7:00–8:40pm Beginning November 6

Instructor: Cynthia Poorbaugh, MFA, LP

In a 1911 letter to Freud, Jung wrote how astrology gave him a clue to "core psychological truths" of a patient with whom he was working, and "that the signs of the zodiac are character pictures, in other words libido symbols which depict the typical qualities of the libido at a given moment." Keeping in mind this early interest in astrology, we will begin with an overview of Jung's theory of typology, which he developed between 1913 and 1918 to help him understand the theoretical differences between himself, Freud and Adler in the years following his break with Freud.

Other Jungians have more recently addressed the archetypal level of typology. We will read selections from these writers and explore how Jung's four functions, sensation, feeling, intuition and thinking, relate to theories of character and physiology dating back to ancient Greece-Aristotle's four basic qualities, the four humors, four temperaments, and to the four elements, fundamental to astrology and alchemy: earth, water, fire and air.

We will look at how the interrelated symbols in the natal chart-the planets in the signs-address the nuances and complexity of typology and explain some of the deeper archetypal underpinnings of our conscious orientation. We will examine the natal charts of Freud and Jung, other public figures, and charts you bring to class.

If you are unfamiliar with the basic symbolism of the zodiac and planets, or would like a review from a Jungian perspective, I recommend Clare Martin's Mapping of the Psyche, An Introduction to Psychological Astrology, Vols.1 & 2.

Intensive Program 1- Spirit, Soul and Psyche

July 9–13, 2018

At the center of Jung’s psychology is the majesty of the image and symbol. His statement that “image is psyche” captures the complex worlds of Spirit, Soul and Psyche. This week we will look at Jung’s sense of creativity and the suggestion that self- creation can be as important as the work of the poet.We will examine Jung’s own struggle with his Spiritualism and Christianity and how this battle took him deep into his psyche and mythology. The week is about finding soul but we will also explore ways to live with a suffering soul during a soulless time. We will also look for meaning in “Bearskin, a fairy tale from the Brothers Grimm,” about a good soldier who becomes lost after returning from war. Psychologically this is about shadow work and navigating our purgatory.

We will conclude the week with an examination of Jung’s early warnings about information and media overload and how he seemed to predict the large and growing Shadow of Technology.

The Spirit of Creativity

“But what can a man ‘create’ if he doesn’t appear to be a poet? … If you have nothing at all to create, then perhaps you create yourself.” C.G. Jung, CW 11, p. 906

Jung said that there are five innate tendencies (instincts) and the creative impulse is one of them. Creativity is the instinct most akin to the gods, whatever cosmology. Seemingly out of nothing, something is brought forth. In this workshop, we will examine the archetype of creativity: how the gods created and how like them our own creativity is. Participants will have the opportunity to explore and tap into their own creative spirits.

Instructor: Julie Bondanza, PhD


Tuesday, July 10
10:00 am – 12:30 pm, & 1:30 – 4:00 pm
Spiritualism as a Significant Influence in the Origin of Jungian Psychology

In C.G. Jung’s early life he participated in family séances, wrote his doctoral dissertation in search of a medical answer to mediumistic behavior, kept aware of parapsychological research during his career and attended séances well into his fifties. His maternal Spiritualistic influences and his paternal Christian history were a constant struggle for Jung during his life time. Additionally, his religious experiences mediated through the collective unconscious were factors that contributed to Jung’s ongoing search to understand the intersection of spirituality and science. In his quest to unite the spiritual and the scientific, Jung leaned on his experiences with Spiritualism and his mythic life with the dead. This workshop will discuss how the origin of Jungian psychology was influenced by Jung’s exposure to Spiritualism, his descent into the psyche, and his mythic life with the dead.

Dwelling Imaginally in Soulless Times

“What’s madness but nobility of soul at odds with circumstance?”
Theodore Roethke, In a Dark Time

“Economics are the method: the object is to change the soul”.
Margaret Thatcher’s interview for Sunday Times, May 3, 1981

We are living in times of great disruption: political passions are aflame, internal upheavals have brought nations to the brink of chaos, and the very foundations of our Weltanschauung are shattered… [One] cannot avoid coming to grips with contemporary history, even if one’s very soul shrinks from the political uproar, the lying propaganda, and the jarring speeches of demagogues… [One] has duties as a citizen ….and an obligation to humanity. (C.G. Jung CW10, pp. 177-178.)
From the Preface to the “Essays on the Contemporary Events,” 1946

What we hold close in our imaginal world are not just images and ideas but living bits of soul; when they are spoken, a bit of soul is carried with them. When we tell our tales, we give away our souls.
James Hillman, Myth of Analysis, 186

As screens of our pixelated devices shine ever more brightly, the world is getting darker. As the dazzling cool spirit of digital inventions gains more power, the world is getting warmer. As politics become ever more polarized, the world is getting more terrifying. Jung’s words written in 1946 in reflection on the horrors in Europe during the previous decade resound strangely familiar. When neoliberal politicians implement programs whose aim is to change human soul1 , not only Jungian psychoanalysts, but all citizens need to worry.

How are we to orient ourselves in this confusing world? “And no one knows, ” as Friedrich Hölderlin already noted 200 years ago in his analysis of destitute times. However, whatever we approach we need to approach it with Eros: “Eros…might well be the first condition of all cognition and the quintessence of divinity itself.” [C.G. Jung, MDR, 353] In his Zarathustra Seminars 1934-1939, Jung wrestled with Nietzsche’s challenge of modernity in the background of the rise of the fascism and Nazism in Europe. In his reflection Jung provided the most definite critique of socio-political conditions of the time and the soul’s struggle with it.

I conceive this seminar as a collaborative endeavor. I will provide a set of Jungian poetic ideas and helpful stories that I find inspirational to explore these contemporary issues and we together engage in Conversation. I conceive this conversation, in its etymological Latin sense, as con-versare, to turn together with. So we will be turning around the subject of Dwelling Imaginally in the Soulless World. This turning together is for the sake of conversation, as the third of the many different voices that will contribute to it. Perhaps in this conversing we will contribute a bit or two to the soul-making.

Bearskin: A Fairy Tale from the Brothers Grimm:
A Story about the Value and Meaning of Purgatory as a Place of Healing and Rebirth

Bearskin is a very old story, and as recent as today’s news. It is a fairy tale about a good soldier, one who knows the art and craft of war making. When the war ends he is discharged. His only provision is his gun. He is ill prepared for civilian life, since fighting wars is all he knows. His hard-bitten brothers refuse to help him out. “You are of no use to us,” they say. “Go and make a living for yourself.” Lost in a state of deep despair with no companions except the dark shadows from the war, this soldier, the hero of our story, wanders into a circle of trees within a laid-waste land. Here he teeters on the brink of chaos and near starvation.

Often, as is the case with our hero, in the hour of greatest need, when hope wanes and all seems lost, the god comes. A paraclete, a divine helper, appears. For Odysseus, the paraclete is Athene. For Faust it is Mephistopheles. For Dante it is Virgil. For St. Niklaus von der Flue, a 15h Century Swiss saint, Christ appears to him in a vision, first as a pilgrim carrying a coat. Later in the vision, this pilgrim transforms into Christ wearing a bearskin over his trousers and coat. In the case of our hero, the god appears as a stately man wearing a green coat, and with a cloven hoof for a foot. He makes an offer of help that involves the wearing of a bear’s skin over the helper’s green coat for a purgatorial period of seven years.

Why Bearskin? From a Jungian perspective, Bearskin helps us visualize and understand the psychological structures that shape the process Jung called individuation. These psychological structures include purgation and deep shadow work. In Bearskin we have a rich, full description of psychological purgatory, its value and meaning, its cost, and its promise. Purgatory is deep shadow work— an extended involutional state of intense introversion when one encounters and integrates dark places in one’s soul, body, and even one’s social world. In order to sustain ourselves and endure we need a map—Psyche’s road map—such as Jung describes: leaving the “collective,” entering involutional, purgatorial states for incubation (sometimes called the wilderness or wasteland), encountering the dark face of the mystery (the instinctive god within), transubstantiation, transformation, and integration on the level of the psyche (the treasure hard to attain), and the “return”.

During our seminar we will move slowly through Bearskin, and amplify the images as we go along. We will describe some ancient purgatorial rites and rituals, see how this fairy tale follows the pattern of cleansing, healing and rebirth well known to ancient peoples and indigenous societies, and draw on C. G. Jung’s descriptions of such states he described in his methodology. Such rites of passage were practiced in the great healing centers in ancient Greece, in shamanic based cultures such as those described by Black Elk, Oglala Lakota holy man of the 20th Century, by European alchemists during the Middle Ages and Renaissance, and they are visible in the visions of St. Niklaus of Switzerland. Today we may find these same archetypal images arising in our dreams during analysis, as Psyche and Self encourage the soul toward individuation and wholeness.

The Spirit in the Net: Jung’s reflections on the effects of media and technology on the psyche

Information overload, crazy-busy, and 24/7 connectivity are ubiquitous subjects in today’s media, yet “Generalized Media Disorder” is not yet entered in the official Diagnosis Manual. Jung was sensitive to the technological transformations happening around him, yet his voice is rarely heard outside of Jungian circles in discussions related to the subject of the psychological effects of electronic media technologies. In “The Effect of Technology on the Human Psyche,” he addresses his concerns, which he admits are “not at all easy to answer,” and in a recorded message sent to the Analytical Psychology Club of NY in 1952, he expressed his uneasiness about committing spoken words to tape. We will listen to Jung and discuss his thoughts on the effects of media on our behavior patterns and personality.

The Stranger at the Door

Saturday, November 17, 2018 9:30am– 4:30pm

A daylong seminar led by
Bonnie L. Damron, PhD, LCSW

Contact hours: 6 CE contact hours for Licensed NYS Social Workers, Psychoanalysts and Creative Arts Therapists for this program.

In Psychotherapists or Clergy, C.G. Jung wrote,
“Perhaps this sounds very simple, but simple things are always the most difficult. In actual life it requires the greatest art to be simple, and so acceptance of oneself is the essence of the moral problem and the acid test of one’s whole outlook on life. That I feed the beggar, that I forgive an insult, that I love my enemy in the name of Christ-all these are undoubtedly great virtues. What I do unto the least of my brethren, that I do unto Christ. But what if I should discover that the least amongst them all, the poorest of all beggars, the most impudent of all offenders yea the very fiend himself-that these are within me, and that I myself stand in need of the alms of my own kindness, that I myself am the enemy who must be loved-what then?”
(CW, Vol. 11: p. 330, ¶520)

The ancient Greek word xenos translates into English as stranger, beggar or foreigner. The custom of inviting the stranger in is xenia, which is also the Greek word for hospitality. According to many ancient traditions, when a homeless or destitute person arrived at your door, you invited her or him in, offered comfort, food, a bath and a comfortable bed. We are told that, at times, the gods arrived disguised as beggars to test mankind’s faithfulness to the Law of Heaven, including Zeus, Wotan, and Christ.

After your guest was made comfortable, you might ask questions such as, “What is your name?” or “Where are your people, your home?” Then, if you were lucky, your guest might entertain you with stories and valuable information about the affairs of the world beyond your little island home. Or perhaps this guest might even share a dream with you. We have a storehouse of such stories from the Biblical Book of Ruth, Ovid’s telling of Baucis and Philemon, and, of course Homer’s Odyssey. Such stories are outer representations of the archetype of the stranger at the door, but what about the symbolic life? What role does the stranger, beggar, or foreigner play in the individuation process?

During the morning, we will discuss the archetype of xenos, reflect on some of these traditional stories, and allow them to speak to us. In the afternoon, we will focus our attention inward and ask, “What is the relationship between the stranger at the door and a person’s inner life?”

Fortunately, Jung draws a straight line for us from theological and mythological considerations about this archetype directly to psychology, to psyche, and the individuation process. Taking Jung’s lead, we will discuss the characteristics in the personality that Jungians call the shadow, which are strangers in need of care and recognition. We will start by looking at some dreams, thinking of the dream as the stranger, beggar, or supplicant arriving at the door. Do we greet our dreams and shadow-selves in the way the ancients greeted a stranger at the door, with xenia—invite them in and offer them kindness and hospitality? If one did, might those dreams, and even the shadow, reward us with clues, information, stories we have not heard?

In order to mediate this process, we will reflect analytically on some dreams and stories, which show us how we-the ego consciousness-may be enlarged when we “greet the beggar at the door.” We will also set aside times of silence, for simplicity, introspection and journaling. Then each one of us will have a chance to discover where a beggar or stranger may be knocking at the doorway of our souls.

Learning Objectives

Morning Objectives

  1. Identify and discuss the archetype of “The Stranger at the Door” as it appears in mythology, folk tradition, and theology.
  2. Explore several traditional stories about a stranger, beggar, or supplicant arriving at the doorway of an established home, tribe, or community. Homer’s Odyssey, the Biblical Book of Ruth, and Ovid’s telling of Baucis and Philemon are some examples.
  3. Discuss our reactions and responses to these stories from theological, mythological, and psychological perspectives.
  4. Consider the value and meaning of the archetype of “The Stranger at the Door” for us today.

Afternoon Objectives

  1. Identify and amplify core elements in the archetype of “The Stranger at the Door” that directly refer to what Jung called the individuation process, especially deep shadow work. The following example from the writings of C. G. Jung is helpful:
    • In Psychotherapists or Clergy, Jung wrote, “Perhaps this sounds very simple, but simple things are always the most difficult. In actual life it requires the greatest art to be simple, and so acceptance of oneself is the essence of the moral problem and the acid test of one’s whole outlook on life. That I feed the beggar, that I forgive an insult, that I love my enemy in the name of Christ-all these are undoubtedly great virtues. What I do unto the least of my brethren, that I do unto Christ. But what if I should discover that the least amongst them all, the poorest of all beggars, the most impudent of all offenders yea the very fiend himself-that these are within me, and that I myself stand in need of the alms of my own kindness, that I myself am the enemy who must be loved-what then? (Vol. 11 of the Collected Works: page 330, ¶520).
  2. Discuss some contemporary dreams where the shadow appears as “The Stranger at the Door.”
  3. Discuss some contemporary examples where the shadow appears through projection as “The Stranger at the Door.”
  4. Discuss how the archetype of “The Stranger at the Door” may play an important role in work with dreams, in clinical work, and in the individuation process as a whole.

Intensive Program 2- Trauma, Healing and Meaning

July 16 – 20, 2018
The word trauma speaks volumes, conjuring up images of wounding, pain, disassociation and displacement. And trauma is pain and promise. Jung reminds us that confronting the trauma and engaging in forthright shadow work, is the beginning of healing. This is the landscape we will explore during this week.

We will explore the research on trauma and how this wounding exists on a continuum from life as trauma to PTSD. We will examine the relationship between trauma and creativity and the power inherent in disassociation. We will conclude the week with an introductory look at Intensive Trauma Therapy.


Monday, July 16

9:00 – 10:00am
Registration, Welcome and Orientation
10:00am – 12:30 pm, & 1:30 – 4:00 pm

Trauma: An Interdisciplinary Perspective

“Filling the conscious mind with ideal conceptions is a characteristic feature of Western theosophy, but not the confrontation with the shadow and the world of darkness. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.” C.G. Jung, CW 13, p. 335

In this workshop, we will explore the archetypal and historical roots of our understanding of trauma. We will also look at some of the recent scientific research on trauma, including brain research and the development of epigenetics and its effect on intergenerational trauma.

Instructor: Julie Bondanza, PhD


Tuesday, July 17

10:00am – 12:30 pm, & 1:30 – 4:00 pm

Trauma, Horses and Healing

In this seminar, we will start by exploring some of the various types of traumas the human psyche can endure, from life itself being a traumatic event, such as the traumatic quality of what the French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan called “The Real,” to very specific shattering events in a person’s life that can result in the suffering and symptomatology commonly suffered in PTSD.

We will then focus on the relationship between trauma and the horse, exploring the horse both as an ancient symbol of psychic energy and healing as well as the concrete reality of this majestic animal that has carried humans on its back for thousands of years. We will venture into Greek mythology and explore the myth of Chiron, the revered and powerful centaur who taught the healing arts to Asclepius. Lastly, we will spend time on looking into the many ways horses have become a transforming factor in many therapeutic endeavors from working with veterans and prisoners to victims of domestic abuse as well as to a growing number of individuals whose trauma may be more hidden to the eye.

Throughout the seminar we will examine the material through a Jungian lens and keep it as close and as relevant as possible for each participant.

Participants should bring a journal for your personal reflections.
Location: TBA

Instructor: Heide Kolb, LCSW, NCPsyA


Wednesday, July 18

10:00am – 12:30 pm, & 1:30 – 4:00 pm

Echoes from the Holocaust: Trauma and Recovery through a Jungian Perspective

The catastrophic events of the Second World War had deep and profound reverberations on Carl Jung’s notions of collective shadow and collective trauma. We will discuss Jung’s reflections on the war, the theoretical development of trauma, the trauma complex, and its inter-generational nature. Case material will be included.

Instructor: Ronnie Landau, MA, LPC


Thursday, July 19

10:00am – 12:30 pm, & 1:30 – 4:00 pm

Working on the Edge: Healing Through the Imaginal Realm

In this workshop, we will discuss moving from the edge of trauma and fear of “madness” to the true self. Dissociated memory is stored in the somatic unconscious as affective and energetic states. Archetypal reality amplifies personal experiences, which become confused. While all these somatic experiences have been observed since the beginning of time, they are often pathologized and little understood as a part of healing and transformation. The creative work needed to heal this traumatic split between the psyche and soma involves a conscious dialogue with the unconscious which Jung called active imagination. Case material and video clips will illustrate working with these archetypal states. The morning will explore the active imagination process and the afternoon will describe the manifestations of archetypal and somatic reality in trauma.

Participants are encouraged before the workshop to watch: My Stroke of Insight – Jill Bolte Taylor on ted.com, and either Horse Boy or Temple Granden

Instructor: Erica Lorentz, MEd, LPC

Student Dinner: 5:00 – 7:00 pm


Friday, July 20

10:00am – 12:30 pm, & 1:30 – 4:00 pm

Introduction to the Intensive Trauma Therapy Approach

This will be an introductory session on the Intensive Trauma Therapy (ITT) approach. The ITT intervention is an art-focused approach to trauma symptoms. It is designed to treat the common clusters of trauma-based problems, including eliminating intrusive and arousal symptoms, and reducing avoidance and numbing symptoms. It was formulated by Drs. Linda Gantt and Louis Tinnin (Tinnin & Gantt, 2013) from their early work in the 1980’s. The presentation will cover the theoretical basis of the approach and include an experiential portion.

Instructor: Paula Howie, MA, ATR-BC, LPC, LCPAT, HLM

Spiritualism as a Significant Influence in Jungian Psychology

Saturday, December 8, 2018. 9:30am – 4:30pm

A daylong seminar led by
Jane Selinske, Ed.D., LCSW, LP

Contact hours: Six CE contact hours for Licensed NYS Social Workers and Psychoanalysts for this program.

In C.G. Jung’s early life he participated in family séances, wrote his doctoral dissertation in search of a medical answer to mediumistic behavior, kept aware of parapsychological research during his career and attended séances well into his fifties. His maternal Spiritualistic influences and his paternal Christian history were a constant struggle for Jung during his life time. Additionally, his religious experiences mediated through the collective unconscious were factors that contributed to Jung’s ongoing search to understand the intersection of spirituality and science. In his quest to unite the spiritual and the scientific, Jung leaned on his experiences with Spiritualism and his mythic life with the dead. This workshop will discuss how the origin of Jungian psychology was influenced by Jung’s exposure to Spiritualism, his descent into the psyche and his mythic life with the dead.

Tuition

Falling Apart and Coming Together: Addressing the Pain of Trauma Using Art Based Approaches

Saturday, February 23, 2019   9:30am– 4:30pm
A daylong seminar led by
Paula Howie, ATR-BC, LPC, LCPAT

Contact hours: 6 CE contact hours for Licensed NYS Social Workers, Psychoanalysts and Creative Arts Therapists for this program.

Carl Jung was said to have worked through his demons in part by using art. In his seminal work, The Red Book, he worked on making sense of his personal journey and on trauma. Art, for many of us, becomes a way of working through psychic and traumatic pain. As we know, trauma affects the psyche, body, and soul and can become a clinical challenge. Addressing it directly may cause the traumatized person to relive the trauma; but not addressing it leaves the person open to reliving and re-experiencing the unmitigated symptoms of the trauma.

This session will focus on the history of trauma with an emphasis on the Intensive Trauma Therapy (ITT) approach created by Drs. Linda Gantt and Louis Tinnin from their work in the 1980s and 1990s. The ITT intervention is an art-focused approach. It is designed to treat the common clusters of trauma-based problems, including eliminating intrusive and arousal symptoms, and reducing avoidance and numbing symptoms without the person reliving the trauma. The presentation will cover the theoretical basis of the approach and will include lecture, personal experiential, and representative case materials.

  3. Identify parts of the graphic narrative and re-presentation in therapeutic work.
  4. Understand the principle ways to use the ITT intervention to call up resources and ego strengths of the client.
  5. Identify how the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) study assists in understanding the sequelae of trauma.
