Eating and The Body: A Feminist, Cultural, Relational Psychoanalytic Framework Invitation to join in one-year post-graduate professional training program in NYC
Applications due June 5, 2010

The Women's Therapy Centre Institute is known for its pioneering work on women's relationship to food, feeding, and their bodies. We have developed a theory and practice integrating psychoanalytic, trauma, feminist, and social theory which are fully elaborated in our self-attuned model illustrated in Eating Problems (Basic Books,1994) written by The WTCI faculty. This integrative model offers a treatment method that includes working directly with the symptom, thereby helping people become embodied selves, (re) claim, literally and metaphorically, their own hunger, appetites, needs, desires, and limits. The program enriches and deepens therapists' knowledge base, skills, and use of self in working with people suffering not only with eating and body image difficulties, but with obsessions and symptoms of all kinds. Graduates find their clinical work becoming enlivened whether in agency-based or private psychotherapy practice.
