Pre-registration is encouraged for our ongoing discussion group on the
Psychodynamics of Spirituality, Discussion Group # 2 on Wednesday
January 16, 2008 at 9 a.m.* This year, Donald Marcus, MD will co-chair
with me in welcoming and discussing with our gifted presenter and member
of The American Psychoanalytic Association, Dr. Gerald J. Gargiulo.
Gerald J. Gargiulo, Ph.D. is a much sought after, delightful and engaging
speaker who has lectured throughout Canada, England, and the US. Dr.
Gargiulo has published over ninety articles in his thirty-six years of
practice, His creative thinking and deeply-rooted understanding of
spirituality, philosophy and psychoanalysis promises to bring forth a
new level of understanding, relating spirituality to psychoanalytic
practice.
Along with Charles Spezzano, Dr. Gargiulo edited “Soul on the Couch”
(Analytic Press) in 1997, and in 2004 he published” Psyche, Self/and
Soul” (John Wiley & Son). His most recent article appears in the 2006/2007
issue of _The Annual of Psychoanalysis_, and is entitled “Transcending
Religion: Reflections on Psychoanalysis and Spirituality.” This article,
along with “Psyche, Self and Soul”, are suggested background reading for
those attending the seminar. Dr. Gargiulo’s writing on Winnicott, along
with what is known as “negative theology” and its interface with
spirituality, will be discussed. He will also touch on the contribution
that quantum physics offers, by way of analogy, to our understanding of
the individual’s relationship with the world.
Dr. Donald Marcus is a training and supervising analyst. His recent
book, “Taking Risks from the Unconscious” (Aronson, 2007) complements
Dr. Gargiulo’s significant contribution to the field of spirituality and
psychoanalysis. Please join me in this rare opportunity.
