Dr E.Mark Stern's Keynote Address at EHI7 2013 Annual Conference [PDF]

EHI had it's 7th Annual Conference this last November and we are delighted to be able to share Dr Stern's Keynote Address with you.
Here is an excerpt from Dr. Stern's Keynote:

"Dear people-WELCOME- as I stand before you I most want to establish my footing.

Our related souls may well commix.

So to begin, years and years back and as much as my current 84th year I necessarily continue to reckon with why I persist in being drawn to psychotherapy(or at least the therapy that I have been suited to do.) My format of psychotherapy is not a procedure that needfully curers but more, a process of nurturing and connecting with a core of where the person is, and where they either except the sense of who I am as well as seriously wanted to appear, to where I want to go. So it is accepting double- or as Otto Rank (1941) points out, "the shadow (who is) his mysterious double as spiritual yet real being" (p.71).

The novelist Lawrence Durell (1949) entwines with my culture when he notes that "Psychoanalysis has been in danger of devoting itself only to the tailoring of behavior, too heavily weighted down by the superstructure of clinical terminology, it has been in danger of thinking in terms of medical entities rather than patients." (p.ix)"

New Article by Bob Edelstein on "4 Ways to Experience Authentic Engagement"

4 Ways to Experience Authentic Engagement 
by Bob Edelstein
Published in Authentic Engagement on Psychology Today 
December 24, 2013

Bob Edelstein, EHI Board Advisor, has recently published a new article on his blog "Authentic Engagement" about the complexity of being authentic.

 From the article:

"Authentic engagement is an alive, passionate, embodied, and profound way of being. It is complex. We are not just authentically engaged in a vacuum. We must be authentically engaged in relationship to someone or something. As I see it, in our human endeavors, there are four ways we authentically engage."
