LA / SFV CAMFT's 3000 Club is again running a summer book club series and will run from June through August.

We will start it off in June with the book:  

                                      Love's Executioner by Irvin D. Yalom

Why was Saul tormented by three unopened letters from Stockholm? What made Thelma spend her whole life raking over a long-past love affair? How did Carlos's macho fantasies help him deal with terminal cancer?
In this engrossing book, Irvin Yalom gives detailed and deeply affecting accounts of his work with these and seven other patients.

Deep down, all of them were suffering from the basic human anxieties—isolation, fear of death or freedom, a sense of the meaninglessness of life—that none of us can escape completely. And yet, as the case histories make touchingly clear, it is only by facing such anxieties head on that we can hope to come to terms with them and develop.  Throughout, Dr. Yalom remains refreshingly frank about his own errors and prejudices; his book provides a rare glimpse into the consulting room of a master therapist.

Bring a cocktail or mocktail, sit back, and come and join us for this casual and fun night of book discussions!  

If you are licensed, please pass this on to your associates or any pre-licensed individual in your community ~ open to all!

                Claudia Kohner, Ph.D., and Faye Weinstein, Ph.D.  

    "Promoting Early Childhood Affect

          Integration by Parents"

In this workshop, Drs. Kohner and Weinstein will present on J. M. Jones’s (1995) concept of affective-symbolic integration in terms of its developmental importance and the role that parents play in promoting this type of integration.  Furthermore, the presentation will offer an extension of Jones’s developmental phases to expand the concept of symbolization in early childhood development to include nonverbal symbolization. A clinical case will be presented to illustrate both the utility of Jones’s concept of affective-symbolic integration and its expansion to include nonverbal symbolization. How to help parents use the concepts to foster affect integration in their young children is presented. Terms such as “time outs” and “tantrums” will be challenged in light of the theory. Problems in health and wellness, including chronic pain, may emerge in adults who did not have the opportunity to develop the capacity for affect integration will be discussed. The developmental association between lack of capacity for affect integration and chronic pain will be covered. A distinction will be made between “Affect Integration” and “Affect Regulation”.

Learning Objectives

In successfully completing and attending this presentation, participants will be able to:

1.  Define and distinguish two concepts of Affect Integration and Affect Regulation.
2.  List three modes to guide parents to respond to their young children that promote Affect Integration.
3.  Identify the developmental impact of poor capacity for Affect Integration and Affect Regulation.
