Cynthia Divino, Ph.D. & Mary Sue Moore, Ph.D. (with invited specialist speakers)
In this weekly, two-semester course, offered at the Boulder Institute for Psychotherapy & Research (BIPR), we study psychodynamic psychotherapy theory and technique in depth, and apply these principles to clinical practice. The course is designed for 6-7 participants: Graduate Interns in accredited mental health training programs, pre- and post-doctoral students in mental health fields, and/or newly graduated mental health clinicians working in the Boulder/Denver-metro area.
A basic understanding of interpersonal neurobiological processes as these impact psychotherapeutic interactions, is integrated into this Training Seminar. Topics include the impact of trauma on the developing brain, and procedural versus declarative memory. Psychoanalytic principles discussed include transference, counter- transference, resistance, defense, enactments, interpretation of dreams & drawings, and termination. Object relations theory is presented through readings from selected theorists including Winnicott, Bollas, Bromberg and Mitchell, among others. Attachment theory is integrated into all lectures and discussion, emphasizing the impact of interpersonal experience on personality development, the building of family and peer relationships, and experience within the clinical setting.
