Are you intrigued by the
wealth of neuroscience research
available today, and interested in exploring the clinical applications of these
findings to your own practice of psychotherapy?
The eight separate study groups
offered previously each filled rapidly and closed. The 2015 series will review
the same research in an 8-meeting format that will allow for a PowerPoint presentation,
informal exchange and discussion of related case material at each meeting. The
group will have a neuroscience and attachment focus, but will emphasize the
applicability of the literature to Psychoanalytic, Somatic, Jungian, and all
models of psychotherapy that are intersubjective
and deeply relational in nature.
Our focus will be on the latest formulations of Allan Schore, Dan
Siegel, Daniel Stern, Antonio Demasio, Joseph LeDoux, Stephen Porges,
Pat Ogden, Bessel van der Kolk and
others that point to the circuitry dominant for intuition, empathy,
emotionality, attachment and the knowledge of how Òto beÓ in intimate
relationship.
No experience or previous exposure is necessary; all you
need is your own brain & your curiosity!
In this group you will:
Format: 8 3--hour sessions, once a month on the third Friday (February we meet the 2nd
Friday on the 12th and skip the summer months July & August) from 11:00-2:00 or from 2:30 to 5:30.
2017 Friday dates: January 20, February 17, March 17, April 21, May 19, June
16, September 15, October 20

Instructor: Francine Lapides
My writings and workshops focus on attachment and
psycho-neurobiological theories (including the arousal and regulation of
affect) and their applications to any relational or psychodynamic psychotherapy
and to adult romantic relationships. I supervised clinically through the Ô70s,
taught psychology at West Valley College for eleven years, and have had a
private practice in San Jose and Felton, California since 1980. I
have trained extensively with Daniel Siegel, and have been a member of Allan Schore's Berkeley study group for the past 11 years. I have
been strongly influenced by relational principles developed at The Stone Center
at Wellesley College, have taught at workshops and conferences across the
United States, and have 2 online seminars entitled Keeping
the Brain in Mind (available at www.PsyBC.com) and Healing the Heart and the Brain
(available at www.PsychSem.com) . I am a
founding member of the Santa Cruz Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Society.

ÒFrancine Lapides
has succeeded in taking a very complex body of psychoneurological
science and translating it artfully into a clinical course of study that will
be invaluable to clinicians and psychotherapists seeking a better understanding
and treatment for a broad range of human relational problems. Francine is at
once a hungry scholar and also a sensitive practicing psychotherapist with a
unique ability to synthesize and bring this material alive. This study
course was, bar none, the best continuing education in my professional
experience.Ó Tom Butz, PhD, Santa Cruz
ÒThe best
PowerPoint slide presentation IÕve ever experienced!Ó Jane Dawson, MFT
Aptos, CA
Francine teaches this terrific,
neuroscience, attachment and affect-regulation-based study group in 2 ½
hour lectures with slides, every minute of which is fascinating and relevant
and – truly - exciting. I think it may be the best course I have ever taken. Patricia Noel, PhD MBPA
ÒBravo
on your excellent study group! I think this is
fascinating material, and your clear and enthusiastic understanding made it very accessible. A great way to spend Friday afternoons!Ó Alan Strachan, PhD, MFT
ÒOne of the best CE
offerings I have
ever attended. FrancineÕs deep and long clinical
experience brings scientific material to life in an unforgettable way,
illuminating the relevance and usefulness of contemporary neuroscience research to clinical
practice.Ó Frances Hatfield, PhD, MFT Jungian analyst
and past president of SC-CAMFT
"Your teaching style
is now so refined, I can easily see why
you would be in demand." Marilyn Jean, MFT
Francine's
presentation style is engaging, and this is
material every mental
health clinician should have as part of their psycho-educational
tool kit. Lauren Mari-Navarro, MFT, and past
president SC-CAMFT
The course was one of the
most valuable training experiences that I have
ever participated in. The concepts and information from each session
were immediately applicable in
my practice and in working with both individuals and couples. I was able to use
the new information about early trauma and it's effect on neurological
development to develop clearer case formulations as
well as to help my clients understand the effects
of these early traumas on their current lives and relationships. The course
was always interesting and lively and I found Francine's teaching style to be
very engaging. She was both challenging and supportive throughout the class and
was always open to comments, questions and case material. Suzanne Nicholas PhD MBPA
A very special teacher who teaches
directly to your habits of awareness as you work with yourself while
working with another. Alok
Srivastava PhD Rosen Method Practitioner (Intern)
"I have learned more
important material from this seminar than from any other course I've taken in
recent years. You are a terrific teacher and you organized this material
beautifully so that I think there was something for all of us at all different
levels.Ó

I absolutely loved the
course and found it fascinating. As a clinician/educator, I was still able to
grasp the science and follow along. The body-mind philosophy I use with clients and
that I teach in my own trainings was enhanced by the material provided and
Francine LapidesÕ style and her on-going interactive
communicative with the participants was a real plus. Thank you for providing such quality education.
