Enrollment for Mini-Courses at IPS

We are pleased to announce
two mini-courses this spring.

We invite mental health professionals to join us for these mini-courses that provide a psychoanalytic perspective on Trauma and Aging.

Understanding Trauma: Theory and Practice

Instructor: Lisa Sokoloff, LCSW

This course will introduce mental health professionals to contemporary concepts of trauma, how it develops and how it can be treated clinically. Topics will include neurobiology, dissociation and body-based techniques. Students will gain a basic understanding of trauma theory and methods of practice through readings and case discussions .

Aging: An Inescapable Fact of Life

Instructors: Mosse Burns, LCSW

Regina Minsky, LCSW

Carmela Shlahet, MS, NCPsyA

The purpose of this course is to educate mental health professionals in working with seniors utilizing a psychoanalytic therapeutic approach. Course meetings will focus on the understanding of such concepts as transference, countertransference, resistance, and character traits. The instructors will demonstrate how these concepts manifest themselves in therapy with seniors.

These mini-courses provide a psychoanalytic perspective to Trauma and Aging.

Each class will meet for four sessions of two hours on Tuesday evenings at 6:30 pm. The course location will be at the 5 Star Residence, 655 Pomander Walk, Teaneck, NJ 07666. The dates of the class meetings are April 25th, May 9th, May 23rd, and June 6th.
