Cognitive-Behavior Therapy for Analytic Therapists
Mondays, January 7, 2019 to March 11, 2019 at 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm
Cognitive-Behavior Therapy for Analytic Therapists
The National Institute for the Psychotherapies
250 West 57th Street, Suite 501
New York, NY 10107
CBT has become the dominant psychotherapeutic model within the U.S. Because it was developed in reaction to psychoanalysis, the two are often placed in stark opposition. In this course we explore how each of these approaches can enhance the other. The course provides a brief overview of core concepts from both traditional and contemporary mindfulness-based CBT approaches. A variety of CBT treatment methods including the classic techniques of cognitive restructuring and exposure, and newer techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) will be taught. Students will learn approaches to working with panic disorder and obsessional/ruminative problems, as well as how the techniques used can be employed to treat a variety of problems. Throughout the course we will think about how CBT approaches both converge with and diverge from psychoanalytic approaches, the rationale for choosing CBT techniques within an analytic treatment, and how to develop a fluid approach to incorporating both modalities in one treatment.
Classes will include didactic presentation of theory and techniques and discussion of case material drawn from the practices of the instructor and students. Active learning will be facilitated by demonstrations of techniques and opportunities for in-class practice. Readings will include texts by leading CBT practitioners, analytic practitioners who integrate CBT, and some psychoanalytic texts that provide a theoretical framework for integrating CBT into psychoanalytic work.
This course can be taken as a stand-alone course, or as a required part of NIP’s Certificate Program in Psychotherapy Integration. The course will be taught at NIP in eight seminar-style classes, each lasting one hour and fifty minutes. Class meetings are held on Mondays, January 7, 14, 28, February 4, 11, 24, March 4, 11, 2019, from 1:00 to 2:50 pm. Students will be charged $600.
Learning Objectives
The learning objectives include:
Understand the basic tenets of CBT and how they agree with and differ from the tenets of psychoanalysis.

Developing a Treatment Group for Survivors of Sexual Abuse
Thursday, January 10, 2019
7:00pm - 9:00pm
Presented by:
Sarah St. Onge, PhD
Developing a Treatment Group for Survivors of Sexual Abuse: Critical Considerations in the Age of #metoo
The National Institute for the Psychotherapies
250 West 57th Street, Suite 501
New York, NY 10107
Most trauma therapists recognize three stages of treatment for survivors of sexual abuse: 1) Establishing safety and stabilization, 2) Exploring and healing traumatic experiences through memory, affect, bodily sensations, and cognitions, and 3) Reconnecting with others. Because interpersonal trauma disrupts attachment and social relatedness, and creates a sense of isolation, the final stage is a critical component of treatment. This presentation describes the development of a therapy group in a private practice to foster a relational context for healing, at the same time that #metoo testimonies were beginning to emerge. The Trauma Recovery Group model, which emphasizes personal empowerment, provided each person with an opportunity to share her trauma and bring a personal trauma-related goal into fruition through the exquisite support of the group.
Learning Objectives:
Be able to name the three stages of trauma treatment
Learn how to develop a therapy group within one's private practice
Describe the process of running a Trauma Recovery Group for survivors of sexual abuse

The Use of Sleep and Other Dissociative Mechanisms to Survive the Impact of Traumatic Narcissism
Thursday, January 17, 2019, 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Presented by:
Allison Penn, LP
The Use of Sleep and Other Dissociative Mechanisms to Survive the Impact of Traumatic Narcissism
The National Institute for the Psychotherapies
250 West 57th Street, Suite 501
New York, NY 10107
This case presentation will explore the impact of relational trauma, specifically traumatic narcissism, and how it manifests in dissociative experiences in the treatment for both the patient and the analyst. Through clinical material from work with a patient who employs self-protective, dissociative states, ranging from falling asleep during sessions, to binge eating, to more subtle, pervasive behavior such as lateness to sessions and “stuckness” in her personal life, the author will consider these dissociative enactments as responses to relational trauma—somatic evidence of the patient’s adaptations to an intrusive, narcissistic parent. The author will further discuss her own experience of dissociation in the treatment — becoming sleepy during sessions — and describe how the patient’s and analyst’s burgeoning mutual awareness of their dissociation has facilitated therapeutic growth.
Allison Penn, LP is a licensed psychoanalyst and a 2017 graduate of NIP’s license qualifying program in Psychoanalysis & Contemporary Psychotherapy. Before entering the psychoanalytic field, Allison worked as an attorney for many years. She has a private psychotherapy practice in lower Manhattan where she treats adults and couples.
