ADVANCED APPLIED EXISTENTIAL SUPERVISION GROUP with Dr. Betty Cannon

By Therapy Harley Street

A playful, active, experientially based form of supervision that is deeply and specifically grounded on Sartre's philosophy -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This group is a place to hone skills and consider important issues of therapy from the perspective of existential philosophy. Combining the leader’s experience with the wisdom of the group fosters an active experientially oriented and interpersonally open way of doing supervision. It includes role-playing clients as well as looking at stuck points in therapy – stuck points that may belong to the therapist or supervisor as well as the client. It uses body-oriented as well as verbal interventions to get beyond words to the pre-reflective bodily-lived intentionality of all three. Applied Existential Supervision is rooted in a psychotherapeutic approach developed and taught by Betty Cannon at the Boulder Psychotherapy Institute for more than 30 years. Thoroughly and specifically grounded in the philosophy of Sartre, Applied Existential Psychotherapy also draws inspiration from Gestalt Therapy, Rogerian person-centred therapy, body-oriented psychotherapy, and classical and contemporary psychoanalysis. Betty agrees with British object relations theorist D.W. Winnicott that psychotherapy is (or ought to be) a very special form of ‘two people playing together. When one of them, hopefully, the client, is unable to play, therapy becomes two people learning to play together. Both Winnicott and Sartre view play as arising in what Winnicott calls the ‘transitional space’ between the subjective and objective worlds. This is the place where, phenomenologically speaking, this world becomes my world – or your world. Focusing on this transitional space allows us to move from doing therapy in what Sartre calls the ‘spirit of seriousness’ (which is the deterministic mechanistic approach of a great deal of contemporary psychotherapy) to what Betty has elsewhere called the ‘spirit of play’. It is a perspective that encourages us to recognize and support our own and our client’s freedom – in situation. And it can help open us to new more creative and authentic possibilities for living, loving, and being with each other. Because taking this perspective makes room for the radically new and the unpredictable and relieves us of the burden of trying to ‘fix’ our clients, it is less tiring and less likely to produce therapist burnout. It can also make therapy more satisfying, joyful and exhilarating for both client and therapist. But therapy done in the spirit of play becomes at the same time less certain and predictable. We cannot know the outcome of the therapy because our client is free. For this reason, approaching therapy (and supervision) in this way can be anxiety-provoking or even terrifying. Moving from the spirit of seriousness to the spirit of play makes us aware of the lightness as well as the heaviness of being – and that can be challenging as well liberating. Of course, no one can live with the full awareness of freedom, responsibility, and possibility all the time. The temptation to bad faith is universal for all humans, including therapists. But if the challenge to do so at least some of the time appeals, please come play with us in Applied Existential Supervision Group. Betty Cannon, PhD, licensed psychologist, is the founder of Applied Existential Psychotherapy (AEP). Her book on Sartre and Psychoanalysis (1991) is often considered a classic in the field, as Ernesto Spinelli predicted it would be. She has published many articles and chapters on existential philosophy, psychology, and psychotherapy. Betty’s mentor, Hazel E. Barnes, translated Sartre into English and was the world’s foremost Sartre scholar until her death in 2008. Betty is Hazel’s literary executor, and her book on Sartre is dedicated to Hazel. She is currently working on a new book: In the Spirit of Play: Applied Existential Psychotherapy. Betty is the president and founder of the Boulder Psychotherapy Institute, an emerita professor of the Colorado School of Mines, a senior adjunct professor at Naropa University, and a member of the editorial boards of three international journals: Sartre Studies International, Existential Analysis, and Review of Existential Psychology and Psychiatry. In addition to Applied Existential Psychotherapy, she has recently introduced an Applied Existential Coaching Class at the Boulder Psychotherapy Institute. Betty has taught AEP to hundreds (if not thousands) of students over the past years. She has also done therapy with individuals, couples, and groups in Boulder for the past forty years, as well as presented at many professional conferences and workshops. She is particularly interested in an existential approach to relationships and groups and leads 15 to 20 groups (therapy, practice, process, and supervision) each month. All dates: Saturdays 13 January, 10 February, 9 March, 13 April, 11 May, 8 June, 14 September, 12 October, 9 November and 7 December 2024 Fee: £1260 the whole year (£140 per session) Time: Saturdays from 3 pm to 6 pm (UK time) Venue: Online – Zoom CPD by Therapy Harley Street

Political Philosophy Course

By Elearncollege

DESCRIPTION Political Philosophy Diploma Welcome to the Political Philosophy Diploma, a comprehensive online course designed to provide a broad yet detailed understanding of the key concepts and theories that underpin the complex world of political philosophy. This course offers a robust exploration into the rich and diverse tapestry of political ideas and beliefs that have shaped societies around the globe. The journey commences with an 'Introduction to Political Philosophy', where learners will get a solid grounding in the basic concepts and principles. This foundation will pave the way for a deeper exploration of political philosophy's many dimensions. A significant component of this course will delve into 'Utilitarianism', a theory positing the ultimate moral goal as achieving the greatest happiness for the greatest number. Engaging in this section allows learners to question and challenge the assumptions of the utilitarian perspective, refining their understanding of this philosophy's implications in shaping societal norms and standards. 'Liberty', a central concept in political thought, will also be scrutinised in this course. Here, learners will analyse the complex nature of freedom, the intricacies of personal and political liberty, and the fine balance between individual freedoms and societal order. In the section on 'Rights', the course delves into the philosophical underpinnings of human rights, legal rights, and moral rights. Learners will grapple with the complex interplay of rights in a diverse society, raising essential questions about their origins, their purpose, and their limits. 'Distributive Justice' offers an examination of the principles that should guide the allocation of goods within a society. Engaging with contemporary debates and contrasting perspectives on social justice, learners will evaluate different approaches to creating a just society. The course also includes a comprehensive look at 'Political Obligation', discussing the nature and source of a citizen's duty to obey the state. Here, one will analyse the theories of obligation that have shaped political thought across centuries. Delving into 'Democracy', this Political Philosophy Diploma course explores its philosophical foundations and the debates surrounding this governing system's virtues and shortcomings. Learners will examine the democratic principles that define modern politics, highlighting the struggles and triumphs of democracy in action. Two thought-provoking sections focus on 'Marxism' and 'Feminism', political philosophies that have sparked substantial societal changes. These sections provide insight into the theoretical underpinnings of these movements, shedding light on the historical, societal, and political contexts that birthed them. Finally, 'Political Significance of Race' presents a contemporary examination of race in political philosophy, scrutinising the implications of racial identity and racism in contemporary society and politics. The Political Philosophy Diploma is a rigorous and insightful course, ideal for those passionate about understanding and engaging in the world of political philosophy. Its comprehensive content ensures that by the end of this course, learners will be well equipped to analyse, critique, and form opinions on the various aspects of political philosophy, thereby helping to shape informed, insightful citizens ready to navigate the intricacies of modern politics.
