This daylong seminar will develop the ground for more open and in-depth conversations about the humanistic and artistic components of psychotherapy. This year we will specifically focus on IMAGE, IDENTITY AND IRONY and their relation to how humans perceive themselves and others. These are abstract concepts but Image (how I am seen and how I see myself) and Identity (who I am) have a direct influence on disruptions of health as well as restoration of health. Mixing Irony into thinking about Image and Indentity is curiously crucial to healing.
