(HS Siegel / Schwartz 048575 2015) The Myth of Unitary Self: A Dialogue on the Multiplicity of Mind
Tracking # 20-943510
Course overview
Defining someone through a single diagnostic label-he's a depressive, she's a borderline, etc.-is at best misleading, and at worst a distortion of what it means to be human. Neuroscience, social psychology, and artificial intelligence all agree that each of us consists of a multiplicity of identities that account for the richness and complexity of the human experience. In other words, no one is a "unitary" self. At the same time, there's more than one way to use this knowledge to elicit therapeutic healing, self-awareness, and growth. This workshop will showcase how two noted psychotherapists bring the concept of multiplicity into their therapeutic work.
