Dialogue and Dignity

Led by Lynne Jacobs, Ph.D.

Sunday, September 18, 2022

3:00 – 4:30 PM, Pacific Time

ONLINE

A patient’s sense of dignity is never far from my mind when I’m having conversations with my patients.There is an overall felt sense that all of our conversations are navigations through the waters of dignity and indignity. Our patients can engage in good quality contact if we are available for it. Conversation that makes a healing difference is almost never easy. It stretches our capacity for presence, our willingness to enter into painful realms of experience, and our commitment to dialogue.

Lynne Jacobs, Ph.D., has long been interested in the relational dimension of psychotherapy, and in integrating humanistic theories with contemporary psychoanalytic theories. She is also interested in what it means to practice as a white therapist in culturally diverse environments. Both a gestalt therapist and a psychoanalyst, she is a co-founder of PGI and faculty analyst at the Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis (ICP) in Los Angeles. She teaches at ICP, and teaches gestalt therapists locally, nationally, and internationally. She has published two books (with Rich Hycner) as well as numerous articles in both gestalt and psychoanalytic journals.
