EHNW Annual Workshop: Ego, Soul, and the Restorative Function of Emotional Pain

In this workshop, the presenter will introduce an original approach to psychotherapy based upon the premise that emotional healing is fundamentally a psycho-spiritual event. This approach offers a unique way of integrating the values of authentic presence, intentionality, and meaning rooted in the Humanistic-Existential-Phenomenological orientation with the spiritual depth of Buddhist and Transpersonal Psychology. Its theoretical foundation is based upon the interweaving of three elemental assertions (see the event page for more details).

EHNW: A Drama Informed Perspective

This perspective is garnered from years of producing storytelling events about local community members and noticing common themes in their trials and tribulations. He explores the power of storytelling as a tool rooted in existential-humanistic theory for both community and personal healing. Joaquin will draw from real life examples in working with adults in and outside counseling office.

The Society of Humanistic Psychology 17th Annual Conference

"Old Saybrook 3" commemorates the 60th anniversary of the original Old Saybrook conference in 1964, where humanistic psychology was formalized. It also serves as a follow-up to the "Old Saybrook 2" conference in 2000, which aimed both to rekindle the Third Force vision of psychology articulated at "Old Saybrook 1" and to re-vision humanistic psychology for the new millennium. Now, almost a quarter-century later, to keep humanistic psychology relevant for new and future generations, it is again time to recontextualize our movement in and for the 2020s.

EHNW Lunch-n-Learn: “Future Minds: A Tapestry of Existentialism and Mental Well-being in the Age of AI”

Live True Counseling and via Zoom 333 SW Taylor Street, Suite 200, Portland, Oregon, United States

The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) brings both promise and peril to the core tenets of existential humanism. While AI has the potential to enhance individual freedom, automate mundane tasks, and contribute to a more interconnected society, concerns arise regarding privacy, autonomy, and the erosion of personal responsibility. The collaboration between humans and AI may lead to meaningful synergies or, if mishandled, to a sense of alienation. Ethical considerations in mental health practices, existential anxieties, and the cultural shifts driven by AI further complicate the relationship between providers and clients. Navigating these complexities requires a careful balance between technological progress and the preservation of existing values and methodologies. In this presentation, Arnaud will give a basic overview of AI history and where it might be heading; Christy will discuss the current and potential uses and ethical concerns in the field of mental health.
