EHNW Lunch and Learn – The Later Stages of Adult Development and their Foundation

Presented by Diane Steinbrecher, LCSW and Shannon Pernetti

What do the later stages of researched Adult development beyond Piaget look like? How can we use researched development in making clinical interventions, assessment, and diagnosis? What does it take to move to the next level of development and how do therapists assist this happening? We'll also be looking at developmental theory as a way of understanding the divisions that are so oppressive in our world today, and how to help shift into a more unified and generative 'good for all' way!

Leopold Szondi’s “Fate Analysis”: The Lost Central European School of Existential Psychology

Zoom Online

Announcing EHI's International Existential Scholars Lecture Series

Why do we make the choices that we do? How conscious are we of the choices we make and what factors most influence those choices? How free are we in the process of making choices, and to what degree are we predisposed to choose and act in potentially predetermined ways?

Leopold Szondi (1893-1986), proposed that there is a "family unconscious" that can greatly influence our choices; that there is a strong pull toward acting out of a multigenerational family heritage – an unconscious pull that compels us to repeat old and oftentimes dysfunctional patterns...

3rd World Congress of Existential Therapy

Royal Olympic Hotel, Athens, Greece Athens

Living in the Here and Now:
Embracing our roots
Creating our future

Heraclitus states that "Everything flows and nothing remains". He reminds us that "nobody bathes twice in the same river", explaining not only that the water in the river flows, but that people also change from one moment to another.

Our existence is always present, initiating and encompassing all of our biological and social history. At the same time, and while existence encompasses the past, it is envisioned and moving towards the future. A future in which human beings do not merely move but create, through their inherent freedom.

The 3rd World Congress of Existential Therapy that will be held in Athens in May 2023 will offer an opportunity to address the here and now while embracing our roots and building a vision towards the future.

$150 – $450

Unleashing Otto Rank: From Interpretation to Experience —

An International Conference

The most brilliant of Freud's students, Otto Rank had a highly productive life as a lecturer, therapist and writer after leaving Vienna. His work greatly influenced many notable figures, including the psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan, the client-centered psychotherapist Carl Rogers, the existential psychoanalyst Rollo May, the existential therapist Irvin Yalom, and the cultural anthropologist Ernest Becker. It was his profound influence on May and Rogers in particular that gave birth to existential-humanistic psychology in the U.S.

This Conference, unprecedented in the annals of both psychoanalysis and existential-humanistic psychology, will re-introduce the legacy, focus, and implications of Rank's genius for a new generation of Depth Psychologists. Specifically, the conference will focus on Rank's move from Freudian psychoanalysis to here-now experience and its foundational impact on psychospiritual healing...
