	PSY-5190K: Gay Male Identity: Sex, Love, Intimacy, & Other Clinical & Community Issues The development of a self-valuing identity as a modern gay male can be seen as a progressive journey from undifferentiated merger with collective norms (such as the default assumption of heterosexuality) through struggles with internalized homo-negativity, optimally leading to the claiming of one’s sense of self as “gay and good.” While this struggle is intensely personal for the individual, it can also be helpful to look at the rise of gay identity historically, from ancient homosexual wisdom traditions to modern gay experiences. Some attention will be given to the influence of the Gay Liberation Movement on LGBT Studies, multiple oppressions and multiculturalism, assessing for levels of internalized homophobia and differentiating effects of homophobia from more traditionally understood characterological problems. Students will learn to distinguish psychodynamic, humanistic and CBT theories upon which this workshop is based as well as analyze postmodern ways of addressing unjust power and white supremacy. Students will review, develop and analyze interventions to assist gay male clients in working through challenges to a self-valuing identity. Participants will learn to differentiate between attaining a healthy gay identity and a further psychological development that can be stated as “coming out inside.” Students will learn the importance and benefit of working in the transference with gay male clients through practice in recognizing overt and subtle demonstrations of transferential material. Likewise, the countertransference (especially erotic) of the therapist will be reconsidered from a gay-affirmative perspective which, while acknowledging and attending to the shadow aspects of such transference, will also recast these feelings as essential, creative, libidinal, gay psychic energy to be directed toward healing the lingering wounds of homophobia and heteronormativity.

	PSY-5210D: Transference/Countertransference: Eros And Psyche The emotionally intimate relationship between therapist and client can provide rich opportunities for psychological initiation, healing, and growth, but also challenges the ability of each person in the encounter to tolerate the heat of closeness. In this ten-week course, we will work together to explore the full gamut of feelings and fantasies that arise between therapist and client, with special attention to erotic desires that often develop in the therapy room. When handled carefully with respect to legal and ethical boundaries, transference and countertransference experiences often create an essential alchemical dynamic driving the success of the therapeutic process. Emphasis will be placed on learning how to tolerate and work with countertransference in order to contain our own issues as well as a way to understand the client’s inner emotional world. The course will combine reading, discussion, exercises, clinical demonstrations, theoretical learning, creative projects, and the option for research to explore various dynamics for clients and clinicians of all genders and sexual orientations as well as diverse cultural and racial backgrounds. Ideas about transference, eros, relatedness, and projective identification found in existentialism, Jungian psychology, object relations, and relational psychoanalysis will help around the experience. This is a core course for the Specialization in Spiritual and Depth Psychology, and is open to all Antioch MAP students who have taken Personality I as an elective. A sincere interest in or at least openness to the particular qualities of introspective, feeling-oriented psychoanalytic theory and practice will be assumed, and the class is designed for those who have some enthusiasm for delving deeper into the unconscious psyche. We will often be working with painful and/or embarrassing feelings, but hopefully we can cultivate a playful, nonjudgmental environment where it can feel safe to open up and take some risks. Min.

	PSY-5210E: Black Woman’s Psyche: An Exploration Into Complexity This workshop focuses on the ways in which psychotherapists are consciously and unconsciously aware of their relationship to and with Black women, defined here as women who claim a racial, cultural or ethnic identity linked to the African diaspora. Thus, this definition recognizes that Black women’s identities and corresponding psyches are not universal. Rather, there exists a complex-and often complicated-way in which these women are recognized and understood by themselves as well as by the broader society. The workshop explores the distinctions between archetypal representations and social stereotypes, as well as cultural complexes, shadow presentations and defense mechanisms frequently associated with the Black woman’s psyche. Through interactive experiences, discussion, self reflection and writing, the workshop aims to increase participant’s understanding of their own values and beliefs as they relate to Black women. The class will help delineate best practices for establishing a strong therapeutic alliance, whether inter-culturally or intra-culturally. Therefore, this workshop seeks to increase key skills and knowledge necessary quality psychotherapy for Black women. Min.

	PSY-5240A: Nurturing the Nurturer: Self-Care Techniques to Prevent Burnout for Clinical Therapists This workshop is designed for students currently in clinical training, or prior to clinical training. Burnout can be a significant issue amongst psychology graduate students in clinical training. Skills learned will be to identify symptoms of burnout, such as emotional exhaustion, depersonalization of clients, and loss of feeling personal accomplishment. Burnout can also be marked by increased cynicism towards clients, a loss of motivation towards one’s current training and future career, and can possibly impact one’s overall self-concept and self-efficacy. This course considers the stressors of clinical training, including the potential emotional impact of being a new trainee, finding balance between clinical practice, school, and personal life, one-way intimacy with clients, countertransference and vicarious traumatization. Self-care will be thoroughly explored by looking at the six self-care domains: social, cognitive, behavioral, physical, spiritual and occupational, including an introduction to Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). This course serves as an elective for Spiritual and Depth Psychology (SDP) and Conflict and Other Related Trauma (CRT). Min.

	PSY-5290: Feminist Theories in Psychology: Application in Clinical Practice Current research and empirical investigations have shown that women-identified clients in the U.S. use psychotherapy and psychological services significantly more than their male peers. Further, the American Psychological Association (APA) has established non-sexist practice as part of its ethical guidelines and standards for practitioners (APA, 2002). This higher utilization of therapy by women and gender-nonconforming clients and call for gender-affirmative practice indicate the need for therapists and counselors: (a) to understand psychological issues that affect women in particular, (b) to become knowledgeable about feminist principles and practices which, by definition, include an examination of the social, political, and cultural contexts of women, and (c) to broaden their knowledge base to include feminist perspectives on psychological theory, intervention, and client populations of women in order to become more effective therapists. The purpose of this course is to introduce students to contemporary feminist theory and the impact that feminist thought has had on psychology. Students will develop an understanding of the varieties of feminist thought, the psychology of gender, issues of power and privilege, and feminist models of assessment, counseling and psychotherapy.

	PSY-5310J: Life As Practice: Inner Work, Social Responsibility, and Community Service Does innerwork invigorate collective consciousness and thus the need to claim social responsibility? Does becoming an engaged citizen engender the need for innerwork practice? What is the difference between compassionate action and acting out unconscious infantile agendas (e.g. codependence)? Does your vision of your intrapsychic self match your vision of your professional self? Remembering the socially engaged, progressive roots of depth psychology and the element of community service that is at the core of many traditions of self-realization, this course provides an opportunity for students to explore experientially the interconnection between inner work and both community and professional wellbeing. Transpersonal and depth psychology offers a theoretical framework whereby extraverted acts of community service, including professional development and introverted acts of internal transformation are viewed as triplicate engines of the development of consciousness and global transformation. Students will investigate this premise through non-clinical service work in the community, exploration into developing a personal professional self, innerwork practices drawn from classical and depth psychological mindfulness, class and online dialogues, and creative and written work considering the clinical relevance of students’ findings.

	PSY-5580M: Spiritual Psychology and Spiritual Psychotherapy This course explores the viewpoint that spirituality, as reflected in various traditions from around the world, suggests an alternative perspective on how one overcomes suffering and moves toward having a happy life. This viewpoint is drawn from the integration of classical yogic based meditation practice and spiritual perspective with psychodynamic, object relations, existential, humanistic, and cognitive-behavioral approaches to working with clients. Many current therapeutic methods are utilizing and incorporating mindfulness, the mental, emotional, and physical benefits of which have been empirically supported. However, various meditative traditions diverge radically from the empirical perspective in how they understand cause and effect and the process of growth and change. In this course we explore the view that spirituality speaks directly to clinical problems and recommends the inclusion of the associated mysterious, powerful, and joyful healing experiences in our understanding of therapeutic process. We will share and discuss several clinical and personal spiritual experiences. And we will explore their therapeutic benefit and the difficulty in pinning down the mechanism of action in such instances, suggesting that activities in the spiritual realm may be apparent and experienceable while also remaining unknowable or incomprehensible in certain ways. The viewpoint taken in this course is that such phenomena should not be ignored or undervalued in mainstream psychology We will explore contemplation as practiced in a variety of cultures and spiritual traditions. Contemplation is an entirely different way of knowing reality that has the power to move us beyond ideology and dualistic thinking. The capacity for nondual knowing that is developed through contemplation allows us to be happy, and comfortable with paradox and mystery. Spiritual masters of various traditions have taught us how all the hopes we have on the outside can be fulfilled on the inside through meditation and contemplation. Suffering can be an important and valuable source of guidance in this process, as we detach from the experience of needing external things to find fulfillment. This course will also consider the practical use of contemplative practice to identify and intervene on processes of psychological projection, as well as to intercede on binary thinking often applied to culture, gender, sexuality, class, and disability, building our capacity as therapists to be compassionate and respectful of socio-cultural differences. We will draw from and seek parallels amongst a number of the great spiritual traditions and practices drawn from a variety of cultures around the world in this workshop, including, Buddhist, Hindu-Yoga-Vedanta, Kashmir Shaivism, Sufi/Muslim, mystical Christianity, Native American and Kabbalah/Jewish Mysticism as we reflect on the concepts of spiritual psychology and psychotherapy.

	PSY-5580Q: Introduction to Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention Addictions - whether to alcohol, drugs, food, gambling, or other behaviors - often stem from a desire to escape our current experience. By bringing awareness to this tendency, and by finding new ways to relate to our experiences, whether pleasant or unpleasant, we can step out of our habitual tendencies, and choose a more skillful response. This workshop serves as a basic introduction to Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP), an aftercare program intended for individuals who have completed initial treatment for substance use disorders. MBRP integrates mindfulness practices with cognitive-behavioral strategies to help clients relate more compassionately and skillfully to physical, mental, or emotional experiences. The workshop will consist of an experiential tour of the core practices and exercises from the eight-week MBRP program. In addition to lecture by the instructor, students will take part in various meditation practices and cognitive-behavioral exercises so they can experience MBRP for themselves. Min.
