The content of the day will include psychoanalytic and schema therapy perspectives on narcissism. This will lead to an appreciation of the Self Psychology understanding of the structure of the self and the skill of empathic attunement with this focus. The day will include discussion of narcissistic rage and a role-play with practice of attunement. The mode model will be explained from schema therapy with a focus on Self Aggrandizer mode. There will be a role play demonstration of attunement and chair work in schema therapy. Insights from Wendy Behary and a schema therapy mode formulation of Eloise, an elite athlete will be explored along with the notion from Jeff Young of ‘entitled dependence’. The idea of hidden or implicit learning as this applies to narcissism will be workshoped with a challenge to come up with three hidden learnings that may have contributed to participant’s case study. Then the discovery of hidden learning using sentence completion and the idea or pre-cognitive choices will be applied.
The booklet Hidden Learning: The way we are wired for intimacy will be given to all workshop participants as a pdf copy.
