The Seattle School is excited to partner with the Northwest Alliance for Psychoanalytic Study to host Dr. Steven Knoblauch. Each year, The Seattle School and the Northwest Alliance work together to host clinicians and thought leaders who are contributing innovative, compelling work to the fields of psychology and therapy.
In Saturday’s workshop Dr. Knoblauch will outline a series of considerations for a form of clinical attention that expands beyond the usual dialogue of the “talking cure” to include the dimensions of emotional exchange that are often carried on embodied registrations such as facial display, gaze, gesture, rhythm and intensity of gesture and speech in addition to the meanings of imagination represented through language. His work is known for how he envisions the clinical interplay with metaphors coming from music and, particularly, the process of jazz improvisation. The day will also include individual and group exercises, clinical illustration and consultation, and group discussion.
Dr. Steven Knoblauch is an internationally recognized clinician, teacher and lecturer on psychoanalysis and psychotherapy. In addition to maintaining a private practice in New York City, he serves as faculty and clinical consultant at The New York University Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis where he is currently a member of the Executive Committee of that program. He is author of The Musical Edge of Therapeutic Dialogue (2000, The Analytic Press) and co-author with Beebe, Rustin and Sorter of Forms of Intersubjectivity in Infant Research and Adult Treatment (2005, Other Press).
In addition to his professional activities in treatment, education and training, Dr. Knoblauch continues to play jazz saxophone and study Brazilian percussion traditions integrating these experiences into his teaching and practice.
