Training Institute for Mental Health- This Friday

Friday May 15, 2015 6PM - 9PM Screening and discussion of:  Notes on a Scandal The problem of ‘Recognition’ in relationships. In this film workshop we explore the dynamics of a predator and issues of envy, jealousy and the relentless pursuit of a fantasied object as these apply to and interfere with all intimate relationships.  We shall also discuss how the need for manipulation, idealization and the impact of relentless transference impulses can overcome a sense of wisdom and empathy in relationships.  The triad of Compulsive, Transitional and Transformational relationships (Brok, 2014) will be discussed in terms of their relevance to recognition and mutuality in interpersonal experience and the process of couple therapy.
