Description:
Self Psychology, originally developed by Heinz Kohut in the 1960s and 1970s, revolutionized the understanding and treatment of narcissistic personality disorder. It has since further grown and developed, is now often called Intersubjective Self Psychology (ISP), and is shown to be valuable for understanding and treating a wide range of individual and family issues. ISP includes a developmental theory that’s consistent with Attachment Theory and infant research, as well as with the approach of Conrad Baars and Anna Terruwe. This workshop will present a brief yet deep overview of ISP, with applications to psychotherapy, family life, and parish life.
