Mindfulness in Intimate Relationships
Presented by Stan
Tatkin, Psy.D.
Friday, October 5
Workshop Session
I (Reg# T5473W): 1:30 - 3:00pm
Workshop Session
II (Reg# T5474W): 3:30 - 5:00pm
The practice of
mindfulness has fast become popular in Western psychotherapy, thanks in
part to recent neuroimaging studies that show specific benefits to the
human brain and body. Some well-known benefits include increased frontal
lobe activity particularly in the ventral medial prefrontal cortex,
increased neurogenesis (development of new cells) in the dentate gyrus
(a part of the hippocampus), increased lateralization between right and
left hemispheres, increased parasympathetic tone which is linked to
increased heart rate variability (HRV), and some evidence of protection
against aging in important areas of the brain.
Mindfulness also
has enormous implications for interactive regulation between romantic
partners. The practice of mindfulness is a simple technology involving
two parts: Noticing and allowing. Sometimes this two-part process is
also referred to as attention and equanimity, or awareness and
relaxation, or focus and acceptance. This may also be equated to the
quiet/alert state achieved in the securely attached relationship
associated with production of both oxytocin and vasopressin (a.k.a.
attachment hormones).
This workshop integrates the research
of mindfulness with that of the intersubjective, psychobiological
process of interactive or mutual regulation between adult romantic
partners. Attendees will learn how to apply principles of mindfulness to
couples therapy for achieving mutually amplified positive feelings while
reducing periods of amplified negative experiences during periods of
stress. |

Interactive Regulation of Dyads
Credits: [12 ]
Dates: Jan 14 - Feb 03,2008
Cost: $177 SIGN-UP
This three-week seminar will focus on a very specific
treatment approach to couples therapy that is quickly gaining a
reputation for its effectiveness in treating couples typically
thought of as untreatable. An explanation for this success is
partly attributed to an emphasis in arousal regulation. |

Upcoming and Continuous Seminars
> The Neurobiology of Couples Therapy: Clinical
Implications of Mutual Regulation and Dysregulation
[12 Credits]
Dates: Oct 16 - Nov 03, 2006
Couples most commonly enter therapy due to repeated, anticipated, and
intense periods of mutual dysregulation whereby attachment injuries and
adaptations become reanimated. In order to make the most of attachment
theory, the psychotherapist must incorporate a working knowledge of the
neurobiological processes that underlie all primary attachment
relationships. The attachment drive for a secure base involves
neurological and neuroendocrine systems and subsystems that determine
such things as proximity seeking and contact maintenance in the service
of mutual affect regulation. These systems are dysregulated in
distressed couples. In this online seminar Dr. Tatkin, contributing
editor for Allan Schore’s A Reader’s Guide to Affect Regulation and
Neurobiology, presents his approach to couple therapy in which he
integrates attachment theory, developmental neuroscience,
psychobiological regulatory systems, and therapeutic enactment. He will
also discuss the “pseudo-secure” couple, the therapeutic frame and
therapeutic stance necessary to such an undertaking.

The aim of the 2005 ISSD Annual Fall Conference,
Dissociation Across the Lifespan, is to
examine the various manifestations and vicissitudes of dissociation
during different developmental eras. This is a broad theme that
allows clinicians and researchers of all kinds to make presentations
that are directly germane to the topic of Dissociation across the
lifespan.
The 2005 meeting also will have a sub-theme related
to the development of the DSM-V. The diagnostic statistical manual
for psychiatric disorders is in an early phase of major revision,
once again. As a society, ISSD hopes to make a substantial
contribution over the next few years to the DSM-V process regarding
the diagnosis of all dissociative disorders. The 2005 program will
some of the society’s early DSM-V efforts.
The preliminary program will be available on line
and in print by July or August. Registration for the conference will
be available at that time also.
