The Frame, Part I at CFS

Psychoanalytic Brooklyn: Invites you to join us for a continuing education seminar The Frame, Part I
Friday, January 18, 2019, 1:00 to 2:30pm

What do we mean when we talk about the “frame” in psychotherapy or psychoanalysis? How can thinking about the frame more explicitly, and more deeply, enrich our work as clinicians? In this hour-and-a-half workshop – the first in a series of two – we will discuss basic questions relating to the frame. We will define the frame and explore its conceptual purposes and ways that departures from the frame, by patients and clinicians, can be put to valuable clinical use.

Join Josh Wolf-Powers, LCSW, and Jules Owen, SJD, advanced candidates at the Psychoanalytic Training Institute of the Contemporary Freudian Society, to explore these important topics.

Jules Owen is a psychotherapist. He was a lawyer and law professor prior to his psychoanalytic training. Continue reading The Frame, Part I at CFS

SCIENTIFIC MEETING: THE MORALITY OF EVOLUTION By Dr. Mario Rendon Thursday, December 6, 2018
Book Signing 8:00 – 8:30 PM Book Discussion & Presentation 8:30 PM – 9:30 PM

According to Horney’s psychology of human growth, it is not to fight our nature but to realize our unique selfhood that is our uppermost life-long human task. Pure nature at birth, our self is then only potentiality, and constructing our own unique self is both privilege and obligation.

Unfortunately, self can only be constructed on top of what all generations of Homo sapiens have built before it. During this historical period a break somewhere occurred, that detoured the species from the previously reigning morality of evolution. This most likely took place about 500 generations ago.
