Deepening the Work: Relational Psychotherapy Through a Jungian Lens Year II


 
 
Deepening the Work: Relational Psychotherapy through a Jungian Lens
A Yearlong Course for Licensed Clinicians
 
At the Institute - 2040 Gough Street, San Francisco, CA 94109
All classes run from 7:30 to 9:30 PM
 
Course Coordinators: Beth Barmack, LCSW; Betsy Cohen, PhD; Mark Sullivan, PhD, MFT

 
The history of psychoanalysis shows psychoanalysts of all persuasions arriving at a consensus that the relationship between therapist and patient is the central healing force in psychotherapy. Further, most depth therapists believe that the analyst’s experience of being in a relationship with the analysand - the analyst’s countertransference in the broadest sense of that term - is the crucial compass in guiding the course of the analyst’s work. By contrast, in the early years of the 20th century Freud wrote to Jung, advising him to “develop the thick skin we need in order to dominate the countertransference” His recommendation was that for the analyst to effectively work with the intensity of the transference, he should be free of what Freud saw as neurotic emotional responses to the patient.
 
Eighty-five years later, Stephen Mitchell, a founder of the relational school, wrote:
 
“Analysis is fundamentally dyadic…requiring the transformation of two people in their engagement with each other…The counterpart to the ability to influence constructively is the capacity to make oneself available to influence, to make oneself open to transformation through the impact of another.”
 
Perhaps unbeknownst to Mitchell, Jung had said something strikingly similar as early as 1929:
 
“For two personalities to meet is like mixing two different chemical substances: if there is any combination at all, both are transformed. In any effective psychological treatment the doctor is bound to influence the patient: but this influence can only take place if the patient has a reciprocal influence on the doctor.”
 
Sandor Ferenczi, the Hungarian psychoanalyst born two years before Jung, also stressed the mutuality of the relationship. All three, Jung, Ferenczi and Mitchell conclude that the patient grows as each member of the analytic couple is open to experiencing the emotional impact they have on one another. This leaves us with the following question: what does the therapist then do in response to the distressing feelings of all kinds that come up in working with the patient? The psychoanalyst Wilfred Bion suggested that all the emotional experiences we have in the work are intimately related to patient’s efforts to communicate to us. Far from wanting to get rid of disturbing affects, his perspective encourages us to focus on them in the hope that we can begin to make meaning which can then be offered back to the patient over time.
 
This is our second year-long class exploring working at the intersection of Jung and the relational psychoanalysts. Each seminar will explore both Jung’s work and some element of contemporary relational psychoanalysis. We will study the power of the therapeutic relationship and the mutual influence of patient and therapist from a range of perspectives, hoping to gain some insight into the mystery of mutual healing that occurs regularly in our consulting rooms.

STAYING IN THE ROOM: A RELATIONAL APPROACH
With Mark Sullivan, PhD, MFT
 
At the center of a relational approach to depth work is the belief that the therapist-patient relationship pushes both people to grow. We will reflect on how to link together this belief with a second one: each member of the analytic couple is continually digesting the experience of being with the other in the room, even though the vast bulk of this work is taking place outside the awareness of both therapist and patient.
 
This course will focus on how we can learn to listen to the stories and the characters that the analytic couple co-create. We will consider the idea of derivative communication as described in contemporary psychoanalysis. And we will play with the paradox of the therapist trying to understand everything in the room as a commentary on the experience of being with each other alongside the necessity of feeling emotionally penetrated and sometimes lost in the experience of the moment. Readings from Jung, Bion, and Ferro.

SEMINAR TWO

Monday, October 17, 2016; 7:30 PM - 9:30 PM
(2 CEs)
 
ALCHEMICAL IMAGES AND QUALITIES OF THE RELATIONAL
with Maria Ellen Chiaia, PhD 
 
"The unrelated human being lacks wholeness, for he can achieve wholeness only through the soul and the soul cannot exist without its other side which is always found in a You." C.G. Jung, 1979
 
In "The Psychology of the Transference" The Practice of Psychotherapy CW 16. (1966) Carl Jung used alchemical images to describe the analytic relationship. Throughout the series, the analytic couple is depicted in varying states where different feelings are evoked regarding what may be going on between the unconscious of the doctor and the patient. Using mythopoetic language, alchemical verse and his psychological understanding of the transference and countertransference, Jung began to define aspects of what we are now calling the relational field and outlined the archetypal transformations of the analytic couple. In this seminar, we will read short segments from this seminal text and work with four alchemical images to evoke and amplify relational experiences from our clinical practice.
 
Maria Ellen Chiaia, PhD is an Adult and Child analyst of the C.G. Jung Institute in private practice in Berkeley and Marin. She is a clinical and teaching member of the International Society for Sandplay Therapy. She is co-author of Sandplay in Three Voices: Images, Relationship, the Numinous, has been a key note speaker at a number of conferences and has authored many articles and book chapters.

TRAUMA, AFFECT, ARCHETYPE: JUNGIAN AND INTERSUBJECTIVE PERSPECTIVES
with Bryan Wittine, PhD, LMFT
 
Cumulative developmental trauma shatters the soul. It constricts our innate capacity to experience feelings, inhibits creativity, and damages possibilities for trusting and relating to others. Efforts by the traumatized psyche to protect and restore itself frequently compound its problems. In this course, we will focus on the centrality of affect in the treatment of Complex PTSD. We will start with the work of intersubjective analyst Robert Stolorow and then integrate this with Jungian analyst Donald Kalsched's ideas on "archetypal affects" and the "affect-image." How might interconnections between these perspectives enhance the analytic relationship? Our understanding will be fleshed out by clinical material presented by the instructor and participants.
 
Bryan Wittine, PhD, LMFT, is a Jungian psychoanalyst in private practice in Marin County where he consults with therapists on depth psychology and spirituality. A student of mystical traditions for 45 years, Dr. Wittine has lectured and taught extensively in academic and religious settings and was co-founder and former chair of the graduate program in transpersonal psychology at John F.

TRANSFORMATIONS AND SYMBOLISMS OF RELATIONSHIP
with Helen Marlo, PhD
 
In C.G. Jung's Psychology of the Unconscious: A Study of the Transformations and Symbolisms of the Libido (1916) and Symbols of Transformation (1956) he shared seminal ideas on the mother and her body as primary psychological and relational experience: prenatal life, birth, regression, and development. Such themes are now recognized in relational analysis. Their influence on "individuation," or the growth of the personality, will be explored. We will utilize contributions from Michael Fordham, Mario Jacoby, Mara Sidoli, and Jean Knox; also, contemporary relational analysis, and work presaging contemporary perspectives from Donald Winnicott, Phyllis Greenacre, Frances Tustin and Wilfred Bion - with an emphasis on symbolic and developmental dimensions.
 
Helen Marlo, PhD, an analyst member of the C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco and licensed clinical psychologist, works with adults, children, and infants in her San Mateo private practice. She is Chair of the Clinical Psychology Department at Notre Dame de Namur University where she is a full Professor. She serves as Reviews Editor for Jung Journal: Culture and Psyche.

WORKING WITH PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAUMA IN THE RELATIONAL FIELD
with Seth W. Robbins, MD, PhD
 
All forms of emotional wounding and psychological trauma manifest in both intra-psychic and inter-personal experience. Splitting and dissociation are recognized to be commonly invoked defensive mechanisms that vigilantly protect against the pain of trauma, resulting in persistent impediments to health, wholeness and spiritual development. In this series of meetings we will use the work of Kalsched, Bromberg, and Ferro to understand how to better attend to the presence of past trauma and present affect within the relational field in order to compassionately and productively help patients open themselves to a more vitalized path of individuation.

WORKING WITH DISJUNCTIONS AND IMPASSES FROM THE JUNGIAN AND RELATIONAL PERSPECTIVES
with Steve Zemmelman, PhD
 
Jung frequently quoted a statement by the German poet, Holderlin: "Where there is salvation, there is also danger." The work of psychotherapy holds great potential for healing the soul but it is complex and fraught with hidden dangers. Both analytical psychology and relational psychoanalysis address, in different but complementary fashion, the dimensions of confluence and conflict in the therapeutic relationship. Yet, despite the fact that these are two poles of the work, we often hear about therapeutic successes but rarely about the failures of unresolved conflict. If we do this work for any length of time, we all learn that there are cases that end painfully, with deeply experienced loss, failure, anger, betrayal, misunderstanding, and shame on the parts of both therapist and patient. What do analytical psychology and relational psychoanalysis offer clinicians who are wrestling with disjunctions or impasses? Is an impasse necessarily a failure or might it be a step in a larger process of psychological development that supervenes that particular therapeutic couple? This seminar will explore these questions through reading, discussion, and case presentation.
 
Steve Zemmelman, PhD is a Jungian psychoanalyst working with children, adults and couples in Berkeley and San Francisco.

WHEN THE PERSONAL BECOMES PROFESSIONAL
with Beth Barmack, LCSW and Betsy Cohen, PhD
 
The therapist's personal life inevitably affects and impacts all aspects of the analytic work. We exist in an intersubjective field, one in which the therapist's awareness and handling of the personal/professional overlap is an ongoing process and practice. In this section we will consider a few of the analysts' personal life events and developmental passages such as illness, loss of the analyst's spouse, death of one's personal analyst, and memorable analytic moments. The instructors will explore the impact of these events and how they affect the therapist's presence in the consulting room.
 
There will be room for the yearlong participants to explore their own questions and present case material about the personal/professional relationship. We will read articles from Clinical Implications of the Psychoanalyst's Life Experience, edited by Steven Kuchuck.
 
Beth Barmack, LCSW, is a psychoanalyst member of the C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco where she teaches and supervises in the training program. She has trained in Tavistock infant observation and authored an article published in the June 2010 issue of the Journal of Analytic Psychology on infant observation and the transcendent function. She practices in San Francisco where she sees adolescents, adults, and couples.
 
Betsy Cohen, PhD is an analyst member of the C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco. She teaches in the analytic training program and public programs. She is the author of The Snow White Syndrome: All About Envy and articles in Jung Journal: Culture and Psyche including, "The Intimate Self-Disclosure," Emmanuel Levinas and Depth Psychotherapy," and "Jung's Answer to Jews." Her current interest is bringing ancient biblical wisdom and a small amount of Plato to contemporary psychoanalysis.

WHEN THE PERSONAL BECOMES PROFESSIONAL
with Beth Barmack, LCSW and Betsy Cohen, PhD
 
The therapist's personal life inevitably affects and impacts all aspects of the analytic work. We exist in an intersubjective field, one in which the therapist's awareness and handling of the personal/professional overlap is an ongoing process and practice. In this section we will consider a few of the analysts' personal life events and developmental passages such as illness, loss of the analyst's spouse, death of one's personal analyst, and memorable analytic moments. The instructors will explore the impact of these events and how they affect the therapist's presence in the consulting room.
 
There will be room for the yearlong participants to explore their own questions and present case material about the personal/professional relationship. We will read articles from Clinical Implications of the Psychoanalyst's Life Experience, edited by Steven Kuchuck.
