Description
Description:
Epicurus, Kierkegaard, and Nietzsche are forefathers of contemporary psychotherapy. Freud was aware of these wellsprings of modern therapy, and Jung brings them specifically into his writing and his methods. We not only get hints from these forefathers, but we also find a lasting base in them, such as Bubar's "l-thou" construct or Kierkegaard's emphasis on the ultimate relationship of the self to life. These ideas are assumed in Freud, Jung, Adler, Rank, Fromm and other leading therapists in our day. It is these latter therapists who have given us the web of ideas which underlie contemporary psychotherapy.
Educational Objectives:
- To make listeners aware of their history - how we evolved from ancient Greece to Freud to Lecan
- To understand the concept of empathy, the key to the counseling process
- To learn the steps in a psychotherapeutic hour
- To learn how to deal constructively with anger in a therapeutic hour
- Supervision in psychotherapy
