Co-Sponsored by Contemporary Psychoanalytic Couple Psychotherapy of NY and The Contemporary Freudian Society
Dr. Christopher Clulow, Former Director of Tavistock Relationships
Saturday and Sunday, October 7th and 8th, 2017
This two-day seminar will broaden understanding of how our earliest love relationships provide the foundation for – if not necessarily the prototypes of – all adult love relationships, especially those we have as partners and parents. It considers the significance of the parental couple for child development, and how adult love relationships differ from those of childhood, and it will enhance understanding of what secure and insecure partnerships look like.
Through clinical illustrations, film, and attachment informed concepts, the seminar will explore aspects of love, and consider their implications for couple relationships and therapeutic practice. The seminar pays particular attention to Donald Winnicott’s concept of mirroring in highlighting processes that are central to regulating affect in close relationships and fostering change.
