Engage with Kirk Schneider and EHNW at Upcoming Workshop!

From the Polarized Mind to the Rediscovery of Awe: An Existential-Integrative Perspective on Healing

"The Polarized Mind targets an important problem and shows how it has surfaced throughout the entire world, and chronologically, through the whole of recorded history. The book's scope is mind-boggling and its message crucial."

--Huston Smith, Author of "The World's Religions" on Kirk Schneider's new book The Polarized Mind: Why It's Killing Us and What We Can Do About It."

Presented by: Kirk J Schneider, Ph.D.
Join leading spokesperson for Existential-Humanistic psychology, Kirk J. Schneider, Ph.D. for a day of lecture, discussion and experiential exercises in existential-integrative therapy. Drawing from his new book as well as past work, Dr. Schneider will lead us in examining what he identifies as “The Polarized Mind” – its causes and development, existential issues and qualities, and its treatment via existential-integrative therapy. Dr. Schneider defines the Polarized Mind as the product not of sickness but of unaddressed and unacknowledged fear - which leads individuals and societies to become rigid, narrow, and destructive.

Cost*:

October's course is the first of two four-day experiential courses taught by EHI/Saybrook instructors as part of the EHI's Foundations Certificate program, the Advanced Certificate Program and the new Modular Training program. The certificate programs require that both Part I and Part II be taken sequentially. The Modular Training Program offers students the opportunity to participate in the Experientials outside the certificate programs. The courses are held off site, in October and March.
The experientials are designed as skill development courses and have specific learning objectives: (a) how to cultivate personal and relational presence, (b) how to attend to intrapsychic and interpersonal processes, (c) how to illuminate personal life meanings, (d) how to cultivate a therapeutic relationship that effects change, (e) how to work with transference and counter transference within an existential context, (f) how to work existentially with resistance, and (g) how to recognize and work with existential life issues which may be present but disguised. Instructors will teach the principles of the e-h approach through live and video demonstrations, experiential exercises, and dyad work.
CEUs available for for MFTs. LCSWs and Psychologists. (Appx 50hrs)
