Afternoon Plenary Session: Psychotherapy and the Body
Together, members of the panel have been studying attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology, and somatic psychotherapy for over a decade. All have directly studied with and been inspired by Allan Schore and Sharon Stanley. They are psychodynamically-oriented therapists and would like to share their experiences integrating a right brain, body-based approach to their work. There will be a short clinical demonstration and space for audience dialogue.
