LIVING WITH LOSS
Saturday, April 17, 2010Powerfully Emotional
To grieve means to move through the anguish of loss, to change our relationship with that which is lost, and to establish faith in the future. This challenging path
is not for the weak-hearted, and for many, the path can be insufficient, get frozen, or become traumatic. Gestalt therapy supports a person’s natural inclinations
to move forward through the experience, to live it more
fully and to discover a new, creative equilibrium.
Workshop participants will learn about Gestalt Therapy’s perspective on grieving by observing or joining in work with the trainers. Placing a special emphasis on emotionally focused, present-centered, experiential methodology, David Henrich and Mary Lou Schack will demonstrate how Gestalt therapists facilitate transformation through grief.
PARTICIPANTS:Students and professional psychologists, social workers, marriage & family counselors, licensed professional counselors, psychiatrists, nurses, addiction counselors, pastoral counselors, those in special education or any related fields, as well as interested others.
PROGRAM LEADERS:MARY LOU SCHACK, PH. D. is a Founding Director of GTIP and a psychologist who has taught Gestalt Experiential therapy in the U.S. and abroad for over three decades. Her current practice and theoretical interests include the forgiveness process, the structure and practice of mutuality, the role of the body in traumatic anxiety, the relationship between intimacy and differentiation and the healing of early psychological wounds.
DAVID S. HENRICH, L.C.S.W., B.C.D. is a Founding Director of GTIP, has studied Gestalt Therapy for 35 years and has worked extensively with individuals facing major loss.

INTRODUCTION TO GESTALT THERAPY
Saturday & Sunday, April 24 & 25, 2010Principal faculty Mary Lou Schack, Philip Lichtenberg, David Henrich and the faculty of the Gestalt Therapy Institute of Philadelphia invite you to join them in an introductory workshop on the theory and practice of Gestalt Therapy.
Gestalt Therapy is a holistic, growth-oriented and relational psychotherapy, emphasizing personal responsibility. This humanistic approach to healing promotes growth through self-awareness. It encourages creative, first person dialogue between client and therapist, in which the experience of each is made clear, and it promotes being in the here and now with openness and confidence. Gestalt Therapy theory always supports the client in his or her own cultural identity, while recognizing the possible consequences and conflicts of being who they are in the broader culture.
The workshop includes discussion of the theory and demonstrations of the therapeutic process by involving workshop participants. Review of the demonstrations will further illuminate the theory.
Participants will be able to observe the different styles of each program leader in applying Gestalt Therapy theory and will obtain a preview of what occurs in our Three-Year Training Program. The next class begins in September 2010.
PARTICIPANTS:
Students and professionals in psychology, social work, marriage & family counseling, psychiatry, nursing, special education, plus addiction counselors, pastoral counselors, and those working in related fields, as well as interested others.
