I think it is unnatural to think that there is such a thing as a blue-sky,
white-clouded happy childhood for anybody. Childhood is a very, very tricky
business of surviving it. Because if one thing goes wrong or anything goes
wrong, and usually something goes wrong, then you are compromised as a human
being. You’re going to trip over that for a good part of your life. (Maurice Sendak)
Good parents
give their children roots and wings. Roots to know where home is, wings to fly
away and exercise what's been taught them. (Jonas Salk)
Children are tough, though we tend to think of
them as fragile. They have to be tough. Childhood is not easy. We sentimentalize
children, but they know what’s real and what’s not. They understand metaphor and
symbol. If children are different from us, they are more spontaneous. Grown-up
lives have become overlaid with dross.
(Maurice Sendak)
Parent-Child
Development Program at ORI consists of
three 10-week trimesters of clinical theory or
experiential courses.
Each year, this program is designed to tailor to the academic needs of
current candidates and to offer a coherent curriculum to the newcomers.
This program should be beneficial to every psychotherapy/ psychoanalytic
practitioner who works with children, families, parents.
Non-clinicians (e.g., educators
in early childhood and K-12 field) can benefit from taking individual courses
and or the full program: "It's
easier to build strong children than to repair broken men" (Frederick Douglass).
This program can provide help,
support, education to parents too. As Dr. Salk said once, "good parents give
their children roots and wings. Roots to know where home is; wings - to fly away
and exercise what's been taught them."
Mentorship
(for non-clinicians), one-on one or for a small group, is not a mandatory part
of this program, but it is possible if requested.
Individual Supervision
(for clinicians) is strongly suggested, but not required for graduation from the
program.
Each course can earn 12 or 12.5 hrs of post-graduate training certificate.
Tuition:
$450/ each 10-week course If courses are taken separately,
the registration fee is $25/ course. (Registration

If courses are taken as a part of the
program - one time registration fee of $65/ program is applied. (Application

SOME THOUGHTS on PARENTING and
CHILDHOOD:
When
a child is born, a father is born. A mother is born, too of course, but at least
for her it's a gradual process. Body and soul, she has nine months to get used
to what's happening. She becomes what's happening. But for even the
best-prepared father, it happens all at once. On the other side of a plate-glass
window, a nurse is holding up something roughly the size of a loaf of bread for
him to see for the first time. Even if he should decide to abandon it forever
ten minutes later, the memory will nag him to the grave. He has seen the
creation of the world. It has his mark on it. He has its mark on him. Both marks
are, for better or for worse, indelible. All daughters and sons, are prodigals
if they're smart. Assuming the Old Man doesn't run out on them first, they will
run out on him if they are to survive, and if he's smart he won't put up too
much of a fuss. A wise father sees all this coming, and maybe that's why he
keeps his distance from the start. He must survive too. Whether they ever find
their way home again, none can say for sure, but it's the risk he must take if
they're ever to find their way at all. In the meantime, the world tends to have
a soft spot in its heart for lost children. Lost fathers have to fend for
themselves. Even as the father lays down the law, he knows that someday his
children will break it as they need to break it if ever they're to find
something better to replace it. Until and unless that happens, there's no
telling the scrapes they will get into trying to lose Dad and find themselves.
Terrible blunders will be made -- disappointments and failures, hurts and losses
of every kind. And they'll keep making them even after they've found themselves
too, of course, because growing up is a process that goes on and on. And every
hard knock they ever get knocks the father even harder still, if that's
possible, and if and when they finally come through more or less in one piece at
the end, there's maybe no rejoicing greater than his in all creation. (Frederick Buechner, Whistling in the Dark)
It's
easier to build strong children than to repair broken men. (Frederick Douglass)
It
is not possible for civilization to flow backwards while there is youth in the
world. (Helen Adams Keller)
