COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The Master Speaker Videoconference Seminar offers participants the opportunity to study with some of the most creative and experienced clinicians in the world today, and to apply their knowledge directly to their clinical work. The course will meet one Friday morning per month for 9 months (September-May). Each session meets for three hours: a two hour lecture and case presentation (via videoconference) with the visiting speaker, and a one hour large group discussion, which offers a chance to integrate theoretical and clinical ideas with group members’ personal and clinical experience. In the videoconference portion, participants are linked between Washington, DC (IPI Metro), Salt Lake City, UT, Indianapolis, IN, Long Island, NY, and Omaha, NE. Students in other locations can join from their own computer, or via streaming video or by telephone (contact info@theipi.org for details). Space is limited: To ensure a seat and to receive readings, please be sure to register in advance.
This year’s seminars will examine unconscious processes through discussion of dreams, children’s play, and the work of Wilfred Bion. Register in advance to ensure a seat and to receive readings.
