Description
3 Live Presentations/Discussions with Dr Carla Leone
We at the Institute of Somatic Psychotherapy (IOSP) are very excited that Carla Leone, PhD has agreed to run a series of three 2 hour online presentations and discussions of three of her papers on the application of contemporary intersubjective self psychology to couple therapy.
The first will focus on her 2008 paper Couple therapy from the perspective of self psychology and intersubjective systems theory and will provide an overview of how major tenets of self psychology can be applied to work with couples. The second class will address a common dilemma in couple therapy – whether to ever see partners separately – based on Dr. Leone’s most recent paper, currently in press, titled Individual Sessions as Part of Couple Therapy? How Concepts from Self Psychology Can Help Us Decide. Finally, the third class will apply this approach to work with couples dealing with the aftermath of infidelity, based on Dr. Leone’s two published papers on that topic.
In each two hour class Dr. Leone will summarize and elaborate on major points from her papers, facilitate an open discussion of the concepts presented and respond to clinical case material presented by participants.
