PSY 2045 - Existential-Humanistic Therapy: Experiential I


This course is the first of two four-day experiential courses taught by Existential-Humanistic Institute/Saybrook instructors as part of the Certificate program leading to a Certificate in the Foundations of Existential-Humanistic Practice. This Certificate program requires that both Part I and Part II be taken sequentially. The courses will be held off site, in October and March. For specific dates and more information visit the Existential-Humanistic Institute website at www.ehinstitute.org and click on "Certificate programs." This skill development course and the next has specific learning objectives: (a) how to cultivate personal and relational presence, (b) how to attend to intrapsychic and interpersonal processes, (c) how to illuminate personal life meanings, (d) how to cultivate a therapeutic relationship that effects change, (e) how to work with transference and counter transference within an existential context, (f) how to work existentially with resistance, and (g) how to recognize and work with existential life issues which may be present but disguised. Instructors will teach the principles of the e-h approach through live and video demonstrations, experiential exercises, and dyad work. 3 credit(s)
