Approaching Clinical and Consultative Work with “Curiosity” yet “Without Memory and Desire” Wednesday, June 13, 2018 Workshop with Avi Nutkevitch, PhD.*

10:30AM to 2:30PM with Lunch Break Included IPTAR Conference Room – 1651 3rd Avenue, Suite 205.NYC 10128).
CE Credits Available for LCSW, LP, CAT and MHC

Workshop Description:
While the internal position of “no memory and no desire” (and also no understanding) is a well known Bionian dictum of technique, the notion of curiosity is rarely discussed in the psychoanalytic literature. What actually is curiosity? How is curiosity connected to the position of no memory, no desire and no understanding? Can they go together, or are they contradictory in nature? Can we develop curiosity, or is it something “we either have or not”? The above questions are highly relevant for the clinician but not less essential for the organizational consultant working from a psychoanalytic-systemic approach. In the workshop these notions and questions will be explored both conceptually and experientially.

NOTE: Dr. Nutkevitch is also available the week of June 11, 2018 for supervision meetings in organizational consultation – individually or in small groups – if arranged in advance. Please Contact Dr. Nutkevitch directly to: avinut@netvision.net.il.
