This meeting will take place online via Zoom. Once you register, you will receive an email with the link and more information.

Three qualities constitute the essentials of the optimally actualized self of this era. These three functional structures are Presentness, Deep Intuition, and Compatibility of Contradiction. They can be conceived as the basic structures of the self. Since the self is a crucial part of the relational world, it is appropriate to propose a relational anatomy of the self.
These three forces are expressions of love. Human love has evolved inseparably from the self. The healthy self at this stage of human evolution is a loving self, and these three functional elements are necessary to develop core loving relationships through which each of us achieves a unique self.
The three elements are utterly interdependent and interpenetrating. When the inhibitions of self have been adequately reduced through life experience, notably including analytic therapy, this triad enables the person to enjoy creative living, inseparable from optimized relational life.
Pertinent clinical material is included.
Learning Objectives:
As a result of attending this program, participants should be able to:
- Explain the role of self in relationally oriented analytic therapy
- Recognize and utilize the value of increased compatibility of contradictions in self interactions
- Meaningfully discuss their insights about the intersubjective aspects of self interactions
