Epiphanies of right, Epiphanies of evil –eleogenetic practices as an alternat...Massimo Schinco
The word “epiphany” derives from the ancient Greek and means “manifestation”. Something similar is described in the modern language of Systems Theory with the term “emergence”. I claim that when we focus on human communities and societies, and even on the behavior of individuals, “epiphany” may be more fitting in order to describe an “emergence” with the adequate emphasis on the aesthetical, transcendent and ethical aspects that are required.
In the course of history and also of everyday life, epiphanies of evil and epiphanies of right occur and recur, at times in alternation and at times simultaneously.
Both for what concerns evil and right, epiphanies are discontinuous changes but come out of processes.
For what concerns evil, I focus on some characteristics and on the long-term deadly effects of a “problem-based” state of mind. Molding the world in terms of problems and solutions is necessary and appropriate in limited and practical domains. The adopting of this attitude as a general state of mind, shaping our whole presence in the world, blurs and ultimately denies the reality of persons, putting in foreground a pretended “reality” made of problems and solutions.
For what concerns right, I focus on what I call “eleogenetic” practices. “Eleos” is a Greek word that means “mercy”. “Mercy” is often mistaken for a sickly-sweetish attitude of turning a blind eye. I claim instead that mercy is a way to know reality with more precision and beauty, since reality is first of all a reality of persons, with their expressions, activities, encounters and contacts. Eleogenetic practices allow us to develop this kind of knowledge of oneself, of others, and ultimately of the world.
The document discusses hypnosis, including its definition, important figures, and types. It begins by explaining that hypnosis involves an altered state of awareness and increased susceptibility to suggestion. It highlights Milton Erickson as a leading expert in medical hypnosis. It then describes several types of hypnosis, including Milton Erickson's model, classical hypnosis, dynamic hypnosis, and transgressive hypnosis. It concludes by explaining that hypnosis involves entering a relaxed, focused state in which one can participate in guided imagery and potentially access hidden abilities.
Hypnosis in psychotherapy and hypnosis as psicotherapyAmbrogio Pennati
1. Hypnosis can enhance psychotherapy through building rapport and eliciting trance states, which activate inner healing resources.
2. Milton Erickson's approach to hypnosis and psychotherapy was pioneering and implicitly based on an evolutionary perspective, optimizing trance induction skills.
3. Hypnotic psychotherapy is a blend of hypnosis in psychotherapy and hypnosis as psychotherapy, based on rapport, trance, and conscious activation of theory of mind within a supportive clinical setting.
Hypnotic trance and theory of mind an evolutionary point of viewAmbrogio Pennati
Hypnosis can be understood from an evolutionary perspective. Trance states were adaptive for social bonding, coping with stress, and activating internal healing responses. The ability to experience trance and develop rapport with others through Theory of Mind was important for survival and reproduction. Hypnosis in psychotherapy can enhance treatment by eliciting rapport and inner healing modules, while hypnosis as psychotherapy directly activates trance and self-transcendence. Hypnotic psychotherapy blends these approaches.
The document summarizes key points from chapters 1 and 2. In chapter 1, it discusses how nature and nurture shape the brain through genes and experience, forming synaptic connections that determine personality. It describes how the amygdala is involved in fear responses. Chapter 2 discusses the history of psychology, from introspection to behaviorism to cognitive science. It describes explicit and implicit aspects of self that are consciously accessible or not, and how the self is formed through experience but also changes over time.
Perception involves noticing information from the environment and making sense of it based on existing knowledge. Factors like attitudes, moods, and expectations can influence perception. Perception is studied using approaches like empiricism, which focuses on sensory experience, and Gestalt psychology, which sees the mind forming meaningful wholes. Perception results from both top-down, knowledge-based processing and bottom-up, stimulus-based processing. Illusions reveal how perception can distort reality, and examples include the Müller-Lyer illusion of line length and the Kanizsa triangle illusion of perceived but nonexistent contours.
The document summarizes Edmund Husserl's phenomenological method. It discusses five principal phases: 1) bracketing presuppositions through epoché, 2) phenomenological reduction to focus on lived experiences, 3) free variation of imaginative possibilities, 4) intuition of essences through overlap of acts, and 5) description of essential structures. The goal is to discover the invariant structures or essences of objects through a presuppositionless analysis of consciousness and intentionality. Husserl sought to establish philosophy as a rigorous science by transforming our understanding of objects and reality through a focus on subjective experience.
The document discusses a workshop on processing traumatic memories through somatic and embodied approaches. It provides information about the workshop location, dates, and presenter Dr. Herbert Grassmann. It also includes summaries of research on embodiment and lists researchers in the field of embodiment science. Trauma is described as being held primarily in the body, where symptoms develop and resolution is most effective. Somatic memory and how memory changes in the body over time are examined.

This document provides an overview of phenomenology as both a philosophy and methodology. It discusses the key thinkers and schools of phenomenology, including:
- Transcendental phenomenology founded by Edmund Husserl which uses descriptive methods like phenomenological reduction and bracketing to study the structures of experience.
- Hermeneutic phenomenology developed by Martin Heidegger which rejects the possibility of bracketing and focuses on interpretive understanding of human existence or "Being-in-the-world."
- Existential phenomenology of Jean-Paul Sartre and Maurice Merleau-Ponty which studies pre-reflective lived experience and the relationship between subject and world.
Psych 101 - Introduction to Psychology - Lecture 4WhatisPsychology
The document defines sensation and the sensory systems. It discusses the basic requirements for sensation - a stimulus and receptor. The visual system detects light and describes the eye anatomy and process of vision. The auditory system detects sound waves and describes the ear anatomy and hearing process. Other senses discussed include taste via taste buds, smell via olfactory receptors, touch/pain via somatosensory receptors, proprioception via stretch receptors, and balance via receptors in the inner ear.
By the term psychopathy it is denoted that only disorders of personality and behaviour; and the psychologist shall sometimes emphasize this by using the rather unfashionable expression personality psychopathy. Psychopathy will thus be understood as a conditioner a state clearly distinct from other illnesses of the human psyche, such as neurosis and psychosis, and from deficiencies such as mental oligophrenia (retardation); and instead it will be viewed as a kind of personality deficiency, such that the sufferer’s volitional activity is much deteriorated than in neurotics.
Husserl's phenomenology a short introduction for psychologistsMarc Applebaum, PhD
This is the presentation I used to set the philosophical context for students in my graduate seminar in descriptive phenomenological psychological research--it is an outline of some central Husserlian concepts, and assumes no prior acquaintance with Husserl's work. Naturally, I supplemented the slides with many experiential examples!
This document provides an overview of different approaches to phenomenology in qualitative data analysis. It describes classical phenomenology associated with Edmund Husserl which seeks to understand the structures of consciousness and essences through phenomenological reduction and bracketing. Existential phenomenology associated with Sartre, Heidegger and Merleau Ponty focuses more on immersion in life worlds rather than bracketing. Hermeneutic phenomenology investigates interpretive structures through perspectives of both the researcher and participants. Heuristic phenomenology involves the researcher becoming one with the research question through self-awareness and understanding to illuminate core themes.
Phenomenology is a philosophical method developed by Edmund Husserl that focuses on understanding conscious experience. Husserl argued that objects can only be understood as they are perceived by consciousness, not as things in themselves. Phenomenology aims to describe phenomena as they appear in consciousness rather than explain or analyze them. It involves "bracketing" external claims and assumptions to focus only on internal conscious experiences. Phenomenology has influenced fields like literary criticism by focusing on describing the essential structures of conscious experience reflected in a text rather than external contexts.
This document summarizes key points from Bruce Fink's book on Lacanian theory and techniques for understanding neurosis. It discusses Lacan's view that repression involves both repressed thoughts and displaced affects. Repressed thoughts actively generate new thoughts ("derivatives") through secondary repression. Symptoms serve as substitutes for repressed thoughts and affects, constituting the "sex life" of neurotic subjects. Lacan prefers diagnosing based on patients' existential questions rather than symptoms. He describes hysterics and obsessives in terms of their differing relationships to desire and the desire of the Other. The goal of Lacanian analysis is to "hysterize" patients by opening them to the discourse of the Other.
Phenomenology is the philosophical study of conscious experience. Edmund Husserl founded phenomenology in the early 20th century and argued that it seeks to clarify our experiences of the world without denying the world's existence. Husserl developed the phenomenological method of bracketing away assumptions to study phenomena as directly given to consciousness. This involves suspending judgment of the natural world to focus on the essence of experiences. Phenomenological reduction helps detach observers from presuppositions so they can encounter things as they are independent of context or meaning. Husserl aimed to establish philosophy as a rigorous science through phenomenology's descriptive study of pure consciousness and intentionality.
Phenomenology is the study of experience from the perspective of individuals. It aims to illuminate specific phenomena through how they are perceived by people in a situation. Phenomenology involves carefully describing lived experiences through qualitative methods like interviews and observation. Edmund Husserl developed transcendental phenomenology, arguing we should study experience rather than assume knowledge from Descartes and Locke. Husserl believed we must suspend natural attitudes and reflect purely to understand phenomena as they are independent of prejudices. Phenomenology describes both the intentional processes of consciousness and the objects of consciousness. Later philosophers like Heidegger disagreed with Husserl's method, believing meaning is formed through relationships between events and people rather than detaching
This document provides an overview of the key concepts and history of phenomenology. It discusses:
- Edmund Husserl originally developed phenomenology in the early 1900s to investigate structures of consciousness and essences.
- Phenomenology aims to describe phenomena as directly experienced before turning to analysis, theories or explanations.
- Major thinkers discussed include Husserl, Heidegger, the influence on Russian formalism, and criticisms from Terry Eagleton.
- Phenomenology influenced fields like sociology, literary theory, and examines concepts like the natural attitude vs phenomenological reduction.
There is dissatisfaction with the dominance of science in management education and practice. Husserl's phenomenological method aims to make sense of phenomena by having practitioners bracket out preconceptions and focus on the essence of experiences, in order to develop practical insights rather than scientific theories. This method involves eliminating thoughts to perceive the core nature of a topic, such as local government, through reflection on personal experiences and struggles.
The Vision of Wholeness from the Viewpoint of PsychosynthesisEwa Danuta Bialek
This document provides an overview of psychosynthesis from the viewpoint of Ewa Białek. The key points are:
1) Psychosynthesis views the individual as a multidimensional whole and aims to integrate all parts (mind, body, emotions, spirit) around the personal center.
2) It emphasizes will as central to human experience and identity, seeking to develop will constructively for self-realization and harmony with others.
3) The goal is to broaden consciousness beyond the personal to connect with higher spiritual dimensions and experience unity with all life.

Phenomenology studies common experiences and everyday life from the perspective of individuals. Edmund Husserl developed phenomenology to provide a rigorous scientific philosophy through descriptive analysis of conscious experiences. Phenomenology examines how people construct meaning in their lives through interactions with others in natural situations. It seeks to understand the world from the viewpoint of individuals rather than external observers.
General Psychology - SHS (General Concepts)LJ Arroyo
Psychology is the study of the mind and behavior. It began as a branch of philosophy and has developed into a science using scientific methods like experimentation and observation. Some key figures in the development of psychology include Wilhelm Wundt, who founded the first psychology lab, and William James, who helped establish psychology as a science in the United States. Modern psychology includes many branches that study different aspects of behavior and the mind, such as developmental psychology, social psychology, and cognitive psychology. Researchers use various methods like introspection, observation, and biographical studies to better understand human thought and actions.
Psychology is not simply the science of the mind or inner experience. It aims to study experience as a whole from the perspective of both objects and the experiencing subject. While natural sciences study objects independently of subjects using abstraction and hypotheses, psychology studies the immediate, concrete reality of total experience, including ideas, feelings, and their interrelations, avoiding abstraction. Both natural science and psychology are empirical, but psychology is more strictly empirical as it examines the actual content of experience from the subject's point of view rather than replacing experience with conceptual models.
Clinical hypnosis is a state of focused attention and concentration that allows one to respond to suggestions. It is used in three ways: using mental imagery to assist in achieving goals, presenting compatible ideas or suggestions, and for unconscious exploration to understand motivations or identify associated past experiences. Hypnosis has evolved from Mesmer's theory of "animal magnetism" to modern understanding as a psychological phenomenon driven by suggestion. Debate over its mechanisms involved Charcot, who saw it as pathological, and Bernheim, who viewed it as driven by suggestion. Hypnosis continues to be used clinically and remains a topic of interest in literature and popular culture.
The document discusses the concept of metabletics, which aims to understand the intrinsic connection between present and past scientific and social phenomena through analyzing historical changes. It outlines six principles of the metabletical method, including non-interference, reality, change, simultaneity, unique incidents, and emphasis. It then analyzes how the development of linear perspective in the 15th century changed humanity's relationship with the world by introducing a detached, singular viewpoint that eclipsed the body. Metabletic phenomenology sees psychological reality as metaphorical and examines how changes in how humanity envisions reality actually change reality itself.
Applebaum (2013) interrelationship of phenomenological philosophy & psychologyMarc Applebaum, PhD
In The Primacy of Perception Merleau-Ponty (1964) remarked, “psychology and philosophy are nourished by the same phenomena; it is only that the problems become more formalized at the philosophical level” (p. 24). Phenomenological philosophy, as much as psychology, is concerned with the study of consciousness and the life of psyche. What is the relationship between the two, for phenomenologists? I explore the interrelationship of the two through the lens of Aristotle's reflection on sofia (wisdom) and phronesis (praxis-understanding).
Attracted by the future, conditioned by the past, shaped by our decisions … t...Massimo Schinco
Denied memories and affections hinder the arising of the social identity of a place, as well as the possibility of sharing the way we experience it. However, we should not think that the present reality of a place derives only from its past. A community has to find an agreement on the future of the place, in terms of values, affections and practical finalities. This will determine the way people will work on the place and its future use. All the decisions and their practical realization, as well as the way the place will be used, can be facilitated or hindered depending on the relationship with the past. The modification of this relationship might take time. We have to accept that, in some cases, the social identity of a place might remain outstanding for a while. Thus, elaborating memories and affections as a community is a moment of the utmost importance in a wider process, which is future-oriented and defined by the responsibility of people deciding here and now. Concrete examples and theoretical foundations of our claim will be provided.
The document discusses human incompleteness and how dreams reveal humanity's fantasy of completeness. It argues that we act as co-creators of shared reality through a continuity between waking and dreaming states. Boundaries are important for generating order from chaos and allowing individuation while still belonging. Dreams show a desire to cancel differences and be a "whole of all parts." Recognizing our incompleteness and participating in interpretive processes can help realign our perspectives.

The Human Right to Be a Future Oriented ChildMassimo Schinco
The document discusses the human right of children to feel and be future-oriented. It describes 10 conditions that characterize a future-oriented child, including having a sense of curiosity about the world represented by an "exclamative point"; feeling safe enough to explore through "leaning out"; experiencing continuity in life despite discontinuities; using humor; staying in touch with feelings; searching for meaning; receiving education; and feeling tension between adventures and safety. The presentation argues that violence and authoritarianism impair children's ability to be future-oriented and their right to have a future.

Hypnosis in psychotherapy and hypnosis as psicotherapyAmbrogio Pennati
This document discusses hypnosis from an evolutionary psychology perspective. It argues that hypnosis is an adaptive trait that provided benefits to individuals and groups throughout human evolution. Trance states facilitated group bonding, modulated pain and immune response, and increased healing. Rapport also had adaptive value by enhancing empathy and social learning. The document proposes hypnosis activates inner healing resources through the synergistic effects of rapport and trance. It views Milton Erickson's approach as implicitly evolutionary and recommends future work further integrate clinical hypnosis research with evolutionary theory and neuroscience.
A PT editor journeys to Florenceto decide for himself whethe.docxbartholomeocoombs
A journalist visits the Institute of Psychosynthesis in Florence to understand Roberto Assagioli's theory of psychosynthesis. In an interview with Assagioli, the journalist asks questions to clarify the differences between psychosynthesis and psychoanalysis. Assagioli explains that psychosynthesis focuses on the higher unconscious and transpersonal self, uses various techniques beyond talk therapy, and views the will as central to the ego and self-awareness. He discusses both similarities and differences between his approach and Jung's analytical psychology.
Analytical Music Therapy Bringing Unconscious AliveJeff Nelson
Analytical Music Therapy (AMT) uses improvised music and verbal processing to help clients understand their unconscious conflicts and reach their full potential. It is a psychodynamic approach where music acts as a carrier for unconscious stories, symbols, and emotions. The document discusses AMT in the context of psychoanalytic theory and other psychodynamic approaches. It describes AMT techniques like musical "holding" and "splitting" which use improvisation to explore a client's unconscious and help strengthen their ego.

1. The document describes the theoretical model of the "Mattering Map", which organizes principles of contextual feminist therapy in a way that honors the complexity of how people matter to each other.
2. It discusses how contextual theory provides a multidimensional understanding of human psychology that is not reductionist, and is related to social constructionism, quantum theory, and neuroscience. Boundaries between disciplines are artificial and human-defined.
3. The space between people is not empty but filled with their influence on each other. Western science needs to reunite with Eastern philosophy and practices like Buddhism, which provides a fully developed philosophy of the mind. Neuroscience shows how the brain detects patterns and we must work to "

Eye Movement Integration Therapy (EMI) is an innovative treatment that uses guided eye movements to help integrate distressing memories with positive information. This promotes healing by allowing the traumatic memory to be diluted and placed in a healthier perspective. EMI taps into the mind's natural ability to heal by accessing both traumatic and positive memory traces. Research suggests eye movements can influence thought processes, so EMI uses deliberate eye movements to facilitate changing how clients perceive problematic situations. EMI has been shown to rapidly resolve distressing memories and their psychological consequences.
The document discusses biodynamic psychotherapy and the use of touch in therapy. It explains that touch can facilitate self-regulatory processes and enable emergent properties by working in early non-verbal modes of relating. Touch communicates emotions through hedonic tone and intensity, and can signal distinct emotions. Touch allows therapists to perceive a client's emotions and offer a corrective emotional experience of containment, if the therapist has developed strong self-regulation skills.
The purpose of this investigation is:
- a new pathway to medical anthropology of split selves as found in shamanistic s?ances, and psychiatric disorders, with relevance ot self-help group settings.
In particular, the effect of small-group semi-therapeutic sessions as observed in Urakawa Bethel house will be discussed with reference to "cultural personhood.“
This work was presented during the II Workshop on Medical Anthropology in Rome, on October 14th - 15th 2011
The document discusses the role of performing art therapy in mental health science. It begins by providing background on mental health issues and the status of mental hospitals in India. It then discusses performing art therapy and some common myths about it. The document outlines several paradigms used in performing art therapy research, including the brain, neurological, vibration, psychoanalytic, and group dynamics paradigms. It also discusses how performing art therapy is learned and provides case studies of its effectiveness in treating psychiatric illnesses and specific disorders.
The document discusses trauma-informed care and how understanding trauma and its effects can lead to better outcomes for patients. It notes that while some mental health issues have biological causes, trauma frequently plays a role in how patients present. The document advocates for an approach to care that is informed by knowledge about early emotional trauma and affective interchange between people. It provides examples from studies showing the importance of the relationship between clinicians and patients.
"Philosophy and Psychiatry from the Standpoint of the Event"
Prof. Vincenzo Di Nicola
Contribution to the Plenary Symposium at the XIV Romanian Conference of Psychiatry
Bucharest, Romania - 15 July 2021
"Why Psychiatry Needs - and Cannot Avoid - Philosophy"
This symposium convokes a distinguished international panel of psychiatrists and philosophers to discuss the proposition that psychiatry needs – and cannot avoid – philosophy.
My presentation is predicated on the intimate relationship between all things related to psyche (psychiatry, psychology & psychoanalysis) and philosophy;
its inevitability – hence, the allusion to Freud’s “return of the repressed”; and
its necessity – thus offering philosophy a foundation for psychiatry
Accordingly, I decided to be bold and use this symposium to announce a call for a psychiatry of the event, based on the event in philosophy (an ontology).
My title makes allusion to Franz Brentano's promised project, Psychology from an Empirical Standpoint (1874) with an ironic nod to J.B. Watson’s Psychology from the Standpoint of a Behaviorist (1919).
DOI: 10.13140/RG.2.2.34094.64321
The document discusses Rabindrik psychotherapy, an approach developed by Dr. D. Dutta Roy based on the literary works of Rabindranath Tagore. It summarizes the key aspects of Rabindrik psychotherapy, including its view of the layers of consciousness (Murta, Raaga, Saraswat), use of performing arts in therapeutic assessment and treatment, and differences from other psychotherapy models in conceptualizing and addressing psychological disorders. A case study example is also provided to illustrate how Rabindrasangeet can help address OCD symptoms by facilitating movement across the layers of consciousness.
Cognitive behavior approach to psychopathologyPhi Lo
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an effective treatment for psychopathology according to research. Meta-analyses show large effect sizes for CBT in treating various disorders like depression and anxiety. CBT is more cost-effective than medication and lowers relapse risk after treatment ends compared to antidepressants alone. While medication and CBT are both effective, combining the two may produce the best outcomes for severe depression.
Psychology is the scientific study of behavior and mental processes. It examines topics like perception, cognition, emotion, behavior, and social interactions. Psychology has roots in philosophy but became an independent science in the late 19th century. It uses scientific methods to observe, describe, predict, and explain human behavior and experiences. Psychology has various fields that study different topics like cognitive processes, abnormal psychology, development, and therapy. It also has many applications in areas like counseling, psychotherapy, education, health, and business.
This document provides an overview of the organization and development of the nervous system. It discusses:
1) How the nervous system develops from the ectoderm germ layer and formation of the neural tube and neural crest.
2) The basic structure and function of neurons, including their specialized cell parts like axons and dendrites.
3) How neurons communicate through synapses and neurotransmitters.
4) The main divisions of the nervous system - the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and peripheral nervous system, and their functions in coordinating behavior and maintaining homeostasis.
A fundamental process in the formation of an individual’s mentation is the associations of experience. These associations not only account for constructive behavior, but can also lead to deleterious or negative behavior, suggesting that some associations are negative and therefore the negative behavior can be remolded through contrasting positive associations; however, to understand what this really means and how it works, we must start at the beginning and define what exactly is this negative behavior that we refer to by the term “mental illness.”
As hundreds of so-called “psychotherapies” have been foisted onto the public, all claiming to treat “mental illness,” newer understandings of how the human brain actually works and the processes which drive the formations of mentation that we refer to as “the mind,” demand a reassessment of what exactly we are referring to by the term “mental illness” and what kinds of intervention would be feasible in both the prevention of and recovery from cognitive and behavioral disorder.

I also teach in the Conservatory of Music, Cuneo and lead learning groups in the

I’m a member of the International Association for the Study of Dreams. I’m currently

as an author, I focus on creative change related to dreams and music. My last book is
“The Composer’s Dream”, published by Pari Publishing
Massimo Schinco - Psychotherapist, Italy
3. in the current systemic practices dreams are just seldom taken into
account
this seem to happen because:
dreams are considered mostly as a product of an individual mind
they are taken into account referring to their contents as if they
were primarily kind of witnesses of the dreamer’s past
practitioners and scholars are afraid of falling back into lineal
thinking and interpretative practices
Massimo Schinco - Psychotherapist, Italy
4. we know instead that it is possible to approach dreams in many
different ways and some of these are closer to systemic sensitivity
and awareness
for example narrative approaches seem to be more and more
appropriate to the practitioners
small surprise: the dream we are working with is already a dream’s
narration in itself. A peculiar narration indeed, being a re – narration
of something only partially subject to the common rules of a
narration
in a key as such sometimes dreams are also used during the training
to systemic psychotherapy in our School, but this happens rather
sporadically, depending on the bias of the teacher. It is not
considered as an essential part of our learning methodology

8. “ … Mere purposive rationality unaided by such
phenomena as art, religion, dreams, and the like, is
necessarily pathologic and destructive of life”
“These algorithms of the heart, or, as they say, of the
unconscious, are, however, coded and organized in a
manner totally different from the algorithms of
language. And since a great deal of conscious thought
is structured in terms of the logics of language, the
algorithms of the unconscious are doubly inaccessible. It
is not only that the conscious mind has poor access to
this material, but also the fact that when such access is
achieved, e.g., in dreams, art, poetry, religion,
intoxication, and the like, there is still a formidable
problem of translation.”
Gregory Bateson, Steps to an Ecology of Mind

Massimo Schinco - Psychotherapist, Italy
10. recent theories, though in a rather individual view of dreams,
emphasize the elements of continuity with waking states
Ernest Hartmann’s approach relies on identifying the central
image of a dream
both in systemic psychotherapy and supervision a dream’s
narrative can be integrated in a therapeutic conversation
the identification of the central image allows to discover
and connect the emotions of family members, as well as
those of a group at work
Massimo Schinco - Psychotherapist, Italy
11. … an example from the family therapy room …
a family member is invited to tell a dream. The other members are invited to
make comments with the help of therapist’s questioning
to the dreamer:
“when did you have this dream? How did you feel when you woke up? How
do you feel now that you told it? How do you feel in your body? Which color
had your dream? What title would you give to the dream? With whom
would you like to share it? And with whom you would not like? If the
therapist would be part of your dream, what role would you assign to the
therapist?”
to the other members of the family:
“which kind of emotions did this dream rise into you? Were this dream yours,
who would you like to be and what would you like to do?”
Massimo Schinco - Psychotherapist, Italy
12. … an example from a supervision group …
an educator, after listening to a child telling him how he was abused by his father in
a severely degraded family context, incurs recurring dreams, long and quite
unpleasant :
“I see J. in bad situations, often using drugs in run-down public toilets. Accidentally I
get in and find him laying down on the floor, yet conked out.”
for the dreamer the central image relates to the public toilet’s squalor, and the
connected emotions are disgust and misery. Group members emphasize images
and feelings of sorrow and helplessness (the child is near to die). One of the
educators attending shares his sens of nausea, which resonates with the same the
dreamer had (he tells he felt anger, loathing and sorrow when he listened to the
child’s accounts) but, most of all, with the feelings of the child himslef, who recently
has had vomit repeatedly without an apparent reason
useless to say how valuable has been to take these feelings into account and to
elaborate them in order to improve the relation with the child
Massimo Schinco - Psychotherapist, Italy
13. furthermore, due to the continuity between diurnal and
nocturnal life, a psychotherapist can take into account not only
nocturnal dreams, but open-eyed ones also
both in psychotherapy and in supervision can encourage
working with imagination and creativity making connections to
the dream narratives and foster the development of resilience
a systemic psychotherapist can take advantage from dreams as
a way to look ahead, as a tool to realize life projects, likewise a
bridge to different types of a possible future
Massimo Schinco - Psychotherapist, Italy
14. a new frontier:
collective consciousness
lucid dreaming
group dreaming
applied to psychotherapy
Massimo Schinco - Psychotherapist, Italy
15. the paradigms about the nature of consciousmess are
changing and with them also our views about dreams are
changing radically
several authors (e.g. Manousakis, 2007) depict individual
consciousness as a subsystem, just relatively authonomous,
of an infinite stream of global consciousness
in this bias dreams show themselves as phenomena
capable to reapproach us to the collective foundations of
our identity, since the conditions allowing our “separate”
individuation are softened and even suspended
one of the most authoritative representative of this
tendency is Montague Ullmann
Massimo Schinco - Psychotherapist, Italy
16. emphasizes that “we are much less separate than we
think we are” and dreaming is “an adaptation
concerned with the survival of the species and only
secondarily of the individual”
“dreams can offer an aesthetic and creative
approach to knowledge, oriented to wisdom,
which is complementary to the “objective” one of
science, oriented rather to mastery”
Montague Ullman (1916 – 2008)
Massimo Schinco - Psychotherapist, Italy
17. Ullman points out that
“…that part of us which is linked to others through
feeling is more real, more enduring and more
significant than other dimensions of our existence.
It compels belief. It dissolves distances, creates
unity and links us to the real world.
This is the stuff of reality.”
Massimo Schinco - Psychotherapist, Italy
18. these assumptions pave the way to a multidimensional
view of identity and personality, in which traditional
western culture’s basic assumptions, such as
reductionism
materialism
separation
are going to be left behind
Massimo Schinco - Psychotherapist, Italy
19. also perspectives founded on
strict determinism
are to be replaced by
explanations not pretending to be complete
whose outcomes are not fully predictable,
where the role of human choice is kept in
more respect than before
Massimo Schinco - Psychotherapist, Italy
20. consciousness is envisioned as an infinite
collective stream whose
individuals are distinct but not separate
explications
some examples …
Massimo Schinco - Psychotherapist, Italy
21. Jean Campbell is a pioneer in the field
of group dreaming applied to
problem solving related to life issues
Gregory Scott Sparrow, a family
therapist and counsellor himself,
studies lucid dreaming in the
epistemological frame of co-creation
Robert Waggoner explores the
healing potential of lucid dreaming
Massimo Schinco - Psychotherapist, Italy
22. it is too early to draw well shaped theoretical
models from these experiences , and
consequently, to elaborate a formal theory of
technique
nevertheless these experiences account
effectively for phenomena that all psychotherapist
know very well, such as
non locality
jungian synchronicity
the strict bond between intuition and action in
leading the session
Massimo Schinco - Psychotherapist, Italy
23. Massimo Schinco - Psychotherapist, Italy
so, although a serene consensus from the professional
community seems still far to be granted
and, due to cultural conditioning, it is not always easy,
and sometimeseven impossible to help clients to get
accustomed to approaches including the practices I
mentioned above
I’m persuaded that this is the direction to be followed if
we want to seriously remain psychotherapist on a
relational and systemic basis
