“Studying Enactment Theory.” Study Group Following Robert Grossmark and Anticipating Dale Gody

 Two Sessions: May 8^th & May 15th

Thursday 7:30 pm to 9:00 pm

CPS study groups are intended to enhance learning and help audience members feel better able to participate in discussions that follow Society presentations.  This CPS study group is an invitation to delve into the enactment theory by closely reading two articles by Robert Grossmark, “The Unobtrusive Relational Analyst” and “The Untelling.”  This study will offer the society members a richer experience as we anticipate Dale Gody’s presentation entitled “What is Yours, Mine, Ours? Unpacking Enactments and the Threat of Being Known."  Dr. Grossmark gave an inspiring and enriching presentation last Tuesday evening, titled “Enactment: Its Provocation by the Analyst,” in which he described his process of “companioning” with the patients’ “non-alive, non-speakable” states of consciousness and ways of being, and the depth of engagement necessary to join them in their own idiom. That process is further explicated in the articles that are the subject of this study group.

This group is open to all members of the Society, on a first-come, first-served basis, with a maximum of twelve members. Please register online here by clicking REGISTER. It is free to all members of the society and candidates. There will be no fee at this time as there are no CEUs, although we may be able to offer them for study groups in the future.
