Martha Heineman Pieper, Ph.D. Seminar Series
Intrapsychic Humanism Core Concepts and Clinical Applications
Our seminar series is complimentary with an Intrapsychic Humanism Society annual membership, and currently focuses on a series of in-depth seminars in which we will explore, over time: (1) unique insights into the unfolding development of internalized core personal meaning – in being loved, loveable, and causing the caregiver’s love – through informed caregiving relationships through the first few formative years of life, (2) the underlying causes of psychopathology, and (3) a psychotherapy approach to treating not only symptoms of psychological distress, including relationship and behavioral problems, but also underlying instability, deficits, and malformation of core self-worth.
Each seminar series covers a separate chapter of the seminal book, Intrapsychic Humanism, An Introduction to a Comprehensive Philosophy and Psychology of Mind (Pieper & Pieper, 1990). We recommend beginning with the first seminar series and moving through the seminar series sequentially. Each series consists of multiple (4-8) one-hour seminars featuring presentations by experienced clinicians bringing to life the core concepts of Intrapsychic Humanism with examples to illustrate how the concepts can be applied where relevant to childrearing, parent counseling, child play therapy, and adult psychotherapy to help children and adults acquire lasting self-worth.
