Description:

This salon aims to strengthen psychologists’ intuitive recognition of somatic, non-verbal behavior within clinical settings, where emphasis is more commonly placed on the mind and verbal communication. We will explore – through lecture, experiential exercises and discussion – how to more consciously include the body in the psychological process, both patients’ bodily experience and psychologists’ own somatic countertransference; and how this may enhance clinicians’ ability to attune to unthought or unverbalized communication. Advances in affective neuroscience in recent years, extend an invitation for this kind of interdisciplinary exploration; as we have growing evidence that our expectations and beliefs about others have their roots in the physical relationships between infants and their carers.


Goals and Objectives: 

  1. Gain insights into the interrelationships between the body and its movement and psychological and emotional states.
  2. Deepen receptivity to sensory experience and strengthen their own perception from embodiment.
  3. Consider how movement analysis may enhance their grasp of early states of mind as expressed through the body.
  4. Learn about Tavistock model infant observation as a method for training in recognizing and deriving meaning from nonverbal/preverbal communication.
