| Fri, May 17 - Sat, May 10 2014 | AEP Approach to the Body, Character Strategy and Trauma, Betty Cannon and Robyn Chauvin, BPI - 303 494 0393 **The Workshop:** AEP works with the lived body to explore ways in which meaning shows up in body stance, movement, gesture, facial expression and voice. We will explore Reichean/bioenergetic approaches to character strategy––looking at the ways in which our ways of living our lives show up in and help fashion our bodies. We will explore various modalities for working with trauma, adding to these an existential perspective on trauma as loss of meaning. We will also focus on integrating work with the body and trauma within a broader therapeutic perspective. We will pay particular attention to choosing appropriate levels of intervention (body, emotion, meaning) in working with clients with different character structures. We will also consider the question of when cathartic work is appropriate and when it is not - a question that students studying trauma approaches frequently ask. Learn More. Sign Up. |

| Fri, Oct 25 - Sun, Oct 27 | R.D. Laing Symposium, Wagner College, New York, 303 494 0393 Arguably the most controversial psychoanalyst since Freud, Laing’s meteoric rise in the 1960s was the result of his rare ability to make complex ideas accessible with such best-selling classics as The Divided Self (1960), Sanity, Madness and Family (1964), The Politics of Experience (1967), and Knots (1970). Laing’s impassioned plea for a more humane treatment of those in society who are most vulnerable catapulted him into the vanguard of intellectual and cultural debate about the nature of sanity and madness, and inspired a generation of psychology students, intellectuals, and artists to turn this disarming Scotsman into a social icon. Now, in this unprecedented event, Laing’s former students and colleagues from around the world will meet in New York to commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of his death in order to assess his legacy and continuing relevance to contemporary thought and practice/ Betty Cannon will be doing a presentation on "Laing and Sartre."

AEP takes into account the full spectrum of human experience - body, meaning, emotion, the impact of the past, and the choices that need to be made to create a different future. This is our relational training module: It offers a fresh look at relationship issues, including some less conventional relationship styles such as open relationships, same sex couples, and polyamory. There is also a section on sex therapy. The purpose is to learn to work with people on the relationship style that they prefer - and to work to make that style more authentic and rewarding.
