Keeping Our Bodies in the Room: The Relevance of Bodily Experience in Psychotherapy Practice and Training
November 11 & 12, 2017, 9AM-4PM
LOCATION: David Brower Center, Goldman Theater, 2150 Allston Way, Berkeley, CA
This conference brings together two dynamic clinician-authors at the heart of the contemporary discourse on the place of the body and somatic experience in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. The program will combine conceptual elements with discourse, clinical and supervisory examples, demonstrations of training and supervision techniques, and a good deal of experiential work drawn from the speakers' many decades as clinicians and trainers. This diversely formatted program will appeal to psychodynamic and analytic clinicians, those involved in the training and supervision of psychotherapists, and somatic psychotherapists who want to experience the clinical and training styles of these internationally-known body psychotherapy innovators.
OUR PRESENTERS:
William Cornell, MA, is a body psychotherapist, author, and international trainer integrating relational psychoanalysis and somatic psychotherapy paradigms.

He is the author of Handbook of Body Psychotherapy and Somatic Psychology chapters on Entering the Erotic Field: Sexuality in Body-Centered Psychotherapy and Entering the Relational Field in Body Psychotherapy. Bill has been a central figure in the ongoing dialogue between psychodynamic relational perspectives, two-body models of therapy, and the body psychotherapy community.
