The following courses are required for trainees in the NYS Licensure Program, and are also open as electives. Full course
descriptions may be accessed at our website www.gestaltassociates.org. Courses are offered every two to three years.
Case Seminar, Case Studies through the Life Cycle of Treatment: In this course, students read examples and then present their own
cases surrounding the following topics: Beginnings: Introductions and Engagement; Middle Phase: Core Issues and Major Theme
Development; Transference and Countertransference; and Endings: Termination Issues in Treatment.

10 hours, $300
Instructors: Patricia Tucker, LCSW, LP and Connie Newman, LCAT, LMHC, LP
Saturday & Sunday, 2/20 & 21 Time: 11am – 4pm
Resistance, Transference, Countertransference: Winnicott: This course will draw from concepts of
transference/countertransference/resistance as presented in previous seminars and will focus on Winnicott’s models of infant
emotional development and of therapeutic interaction. Our deeper appreciation of the subtleties and breadth of Winnicott’s (and
related) concepts will open links to Gestalt theory and practice especially in terms of “the use of self.” 10 hours, $300
Instructor: Todd Senzon, MA, LP Dates: Saturdays, February 6, 20, 27 & March 5
Time: 10am –12:15pm
Object Relations, Self Psychology and Gestalt Therapy, an Integration: Gestalt therapy provides a comprehensive framework for
object relations and self psychology psychoanalytic theories. We will review the different schools of object relations and self
psychology theories, with an emphasis on how they can be utilized to broaden a Gestalt theoretical view of psychotherapy. Review
of case material and use of experiential work in class will be used to enhance an understanding of object relations and self
psychology from a Gestalt perspective.
10 hours, $300
Instructor: Evan Senrich, PhD, LCSW Mondays: March 7, 14, 21; April 4 Time: 7 – 9:30pm
Case Seminar, Dreamwork: In this course, we will focus on the clinical use of dreams, noticing their structure and timing in the
therapeutic process, and how they arise from and impact the therapy and the treatment relationship. We will use case examples to
demonstrate how images from dreams and dreamwork can be utilized as an ongoing homework practice to help patients alter habitual
patterns of interrupting contact. Each participant will contribute case examples for discussion, and will prepare a paper and
presentation. 10 hours, $300
(Note: Dream Analysis, PP3, is a prerequisite for this course, as well as a caseload of at least one current patient.)
Instructor: Susan Jurkowski, LCSW, LP
Saturdays, 3/19 & 4/2 Time: 1-6pm
The Development of Gender Identity: In this course we will explore the multiple and intertwining cultural, biological, and
psychological issues that contribute to the formation of a sense of a male or female gendered “self.” We will draw upon the works of
such diverse theorists as Winnicott, Freud, Mitchell, Chodorow, Benjamin, and Gilligan, and analyze their contributions to an
understanding of the role of gender in personality development.
10 hours, $300
