Session 9: The Fundamental Simplicity of Psychotherapy

Egg Harbor, WI US
August 3, 2015 to August 7, 2015

The crucial knowledge in psychotherapy is what leads straight into catastrophe versus what leads into deliverance.  From the first wrong step there is a very fast sequence into catastrophe, exploding into anxiety, imploding into depression.  This workshop will elaborate on five concepts and complications that should be addressed in order to conduct successful psychotherapy.  These concepts are: sequence, symmetry, sieve, morass, and psychosis or suicide from unbearable pain.  In this symposium we will present two cases on DVD each morning for discussion with an emphasis on one of these concepts.

Monday Sequence

Tuesday Symmetry

Wednesday Sieve

Thursday Swamped, reversed

Friday Suicide and psychosis from unbearable pain, reversed

Learning Objectives

(2) Signal the context markers for an equal, symmetrical partnership from the very beginning of the diagnostic interview

(3) Learn how the unconscious sieve can more profoundly image the full set of forces

(4) Appreciate the most common complication of our patients and learn the most difficult situations to reverse because of unbearable pain that can bring about suicidal ideation and/or a psychotic break
