Seminar 301: Character Styles II
Using the different theories of personality discussed in Seminar 202, treatment of several basic personality styles — narcissistic, masochistic, and rigid — will be explored through the use of videotape and lectures. Emphasis will be placed on difficult issues that arise in treatment, and participants will be encouraged to use case material to examine both effective and ineffective interventions.

Seminar 302: Issues in Treatment II, Theory Into Practice
This course will focus on bringing core Gestalt psychotherapy theoretical concepts into action. Phenomenology, aesthetics, kinesthetic resonance, retroflection, etc. will be elaborated on and practiced experientially together. We will draw from readings by Laura Perls, Michael Vincent Miller, Jean-Marie Robine, Ruella Frank, Gianni Francesetti and others to deepen theoretical concepts. We will use experiential exercises to bring to life each theme of focus.
