Our Spring training lineup includes:
Personality Formation & Narcissistic Relating With Dr. Marvin Logel, Ph.D.
Fridays, March 7th, 2025 – April 4th, 2025 | 10:30am-11:45am
CEU Credits: 6.25
Cost: $150 | MPSI Price $105
Join us for an in-depth exploration of narcissism and its impact on therapeutic work. This course delves into the key principles of self-psychology, focusing on Heinz Kohut’s groundbreaking contributions and the insights of his successors. Through discussion and clinical case examples, participants will gain practical tools for working with narcissistic dynamics in therapy.
Our primary reference, Self Psychology: An Introduction by Peter Lessem, offers valuable clinical guidance, but the course will center on key concepts and real-world applications rather than traditional lectures. A curated list of additional readings will also be provided.
This class is ideal for clinicians looking to deepen their understanding of narcissistic relatedness, self-development, and therapeutic attunement in modern practice.
Relational Psychoanalysis With Yamille Mason LCAT
Fridays, April 11, 2025 – May 16th, 2025 |10:30am-11:45am
CEU Credits: 6.25
Cost: $150 | MPSI Price $105
The Relational turn in psychoanalysis recognizes the interpenetrating and mutually constitutive relationship between intra-psychic and interpersonal processes of human development. This emphasis has moved the field away from a one-person psychology – where an analyst uncovers a patient’s unconscious to cure through insight – to an intersubjective one – in which unformulated experience from varying levels of development both within the patient/analyst and between them becomes known through living it together in the treatment. In this short introductory course we will examine the genesis of Relational thinking and explore some of the core concepts this way of working entails including: mutual regulation, affective authenticity, and the establishment of a deepened sense of subjectivity. Relational perspectives offer both a developmentally informed theory of mind and an epistemological approach to the work.
