Child's Play & Emotional Heath of Children and Adolescents

Individual Course & a part of the 3rd Year of Full Training in Object Relations Psychoanalysis,

also a part of the Child-Parent Development Program @ ORI - 11 hrs of post-graduate education credit

Instructor: Charles Bonerbo, LCSW

Location: 19 W 34th street at the Sociometric Institute, Penthouse suite, NYC, 10001 OR Virtual participation

Dates & Time: March 27th through May 8th, 2013; 7 weeks; 10:15. to 11:55 am

This program will focus on children's and adolescents' play as an essential ingredient of healthy emotional development and integrated personality and whole relatedness.

Each week we will focus on a child's phase-specific development and highlight, discuss and explore the specific ”play tasks” that is relevant for that phase.

Participants will have a greater understanding of the essential elements of play and how it directly effects a child's and adolescent's emotional development. Also, the notion of spontaneous gesture will be explored and understood as a goal of emotional development.

Other topics to be explored will include:

·         Precociousness and it's vicissitudes;

·         Traumatic Experience, Cumulative Trauma, and Pre-mature exposure as it pertains to the overwhelm of the ego and the subsequent foreclosure of symbolism;

·         Concreteness and lack of spontaneity...(Anxious and Autistic States), and others.
