IRISH SOCIETY OF JUNGIAN ANALYSTS in conjunction with the IRISH ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGY ASSOCIATION 

Presents live on Zoom

________________________________________________________________________________________

Thursday, 3rd March 2022: 8.00pm to 9.15pm - Irish time

In Search of Duende: The Impulse in the Blood

Patricia Llosa, MFA, LP

“Duende,” an untranslatable word from Roma folk culture of Southern Spain, describes a small mythological figure, a powerful and mischievous imp or demon who slips in through cracks. Spanish poet Federico Garcia Lorca in his famous essay “The Theory and Play of Duende” presents a rhapsodic catalog of Duende, as “soul,” an evocation not of the ghostly but the embodied which he describes as a dynamic, a dark, possessing power that originates in the earth, a buried spirit of black sounds, an intimate of death. The highest possibility for an artist is to be possessed and struggle with the Duende; at that moment comes a smashing and transcendence of form, and the eruption of spontaneous creation. In this presentation Patricia will present her short film exploring Duende and will discuss illuminating points of connection between Lorca’s Duende and her practice as a Jungian analyst.

Patricia Llosa, MFA, LP, is a Peruvian-American Jungian analyst in private practice in New York City. She earned her undergraduate degree in archaeology and art history from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and did graduate work at The School of Visual Arts in NYC. For more than 20 years she worked as an administrator and educator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. A graduate of Marion Woodman’s BodySoul Rhythms® Leadership Training Program, she has taught workshops in Ireland, Japan, Mexico, Peru, and Spain. Presently, she serves on the board of The Archive for Research in Archetypal Symbolism (ARAS) and teaches at the Assisi Institute and the Jungian Psychoanalytic Association.

Inspired by Babette Rothschilds book ‘Help for the Helper: The Psychophysiology of Compassion Fatigue and Vicarious Trauma’. You are invited to participate in a research study as part requirement for completion of an MA Psychotherapy (DBS).

The aim of the research is to explore what meaning self-care practices have for the therapist and its impact on therapeutic practice.

Participants who are IAHIP Accredited psychotherapists with a minimum of 5 years or more experience in the field are invited to take part in an interview that will last approximately 50 mins, either online or in person.

My name is Liam Griffin, and I am a student in the MA in Applied Psychology (Mental Health) programme in University College, Cork (UCC). As part of the programme, I will be conducting research, supervised by Nicola Barry.

The purpose of the study is to explore Irish counsellors/psychotherapists’ experience of and sense of competence in working with clients of other ethnic/racial cultures. I am recruiting participants to take part in a one-to-one interview. The interview will be audio-recorded and is expected to take 30-40 minutes to complete and will take place online via Microsoft Teams.

The interview will address three key issues: (1) your experience of working with clients from other ethnic/racial cultures, and the impact that the cultural difference has in the therapy room, (2) cultural competence and your experience of enacting best practice guidelines, and (3) any personal and/or professional learnings from working with clients of other ethnic/racial cultures. The questions will be centred on your reflection on your experiences in practice, but no identifying or sensitive information will be sought.

The purpose of this study is to explore Irish counsellors/psychotherapists’ experience of and sense of competence in working with clients of other racial/ethnic cultures. Participants are required to not belong to a minority group, i.e. you have predominantly lived and worked in Ireland and you feel that you have been shaped by Irish culture. Participants are required to be qualified/have completed a recognised professional training in counselling/psychotherapy.

Should you choose to participate, you can refuse to answer specific questions, or decide to withdraw from the interview. Once the interview has been concluded, you can choose to withdraw your details at any time in the subsequent two weeks post-completion of the interview.

All the information you provide will be kept confidential and anonymous and will be available only to the researcher and the supervisor. The only exception is where information is disclosed which indicates that there is a serious risk to you or to others. The interview will be transcribed by the researcher, and all identifying information will be removed. Once this is done, the audio-recording will also be deleted and only the anonymized transcript will remain. This will be stored on the University College Cork OneDrive system and subsequently on the UCC server. The data will be stored for a minimum of ten years. The information you provide may contribute to research publications and/or conference presentations. This research will outline potential areas of development and learning for Irish counsellors/therapists in working with clients of other cultures. These learnings and points of development for counsellors/therapists will aid in clients of other cultures in receiving appropriate and effective mental health support in Ireland. We do not anticipate any negative outcomes from participating in this study. At the end of the procedure, I will discuss with you how you found the experience and how you are feeling.

This study has obtained ethical approval from the UCC School of Applied Psychology Ethics Committee.

If you wish to participate, or you would like to discuss the research, you can contact me via email at 116324146@umail.ucc.ie, or via phone on +353 86 248 2808.

After more than 13 years of lecturing in Existentialism, and helping clients and supervisees navigate these profound and essential topics, I launched some discussion groups last year during the COVID pandemic to provide a space to delve deeper into Life’s crucial questions. I am delighted to say their success has given birth to two more expanded groups, commencing this February 2022. 

• A.    Guided Conversations in Existentialism (for anyone, from all walks of life).

Are you looking for a space where you can be part of a structured conversation about life and existential issues? Perhaps you are new to existential ideas or already have some knowledge and would like a deeper understanding of the concepts.

This is a facilitated group where members are invited to reflect on a specific existential issue e.g. Meaning, Freedom, Death, etc and the facilitator will help guide the members in their exploration and understanding of the subject matter. This group approach will heighten people’s understanding of their position in life and ideally help clarify what it means for them to truly live.

• B.     The Examined Life Discussion Group (specifically for Professionals in the Caring Fields).

Working in the caring fields can be a double-edged sword. There is a lot of job satisfaction but it is not uncommon that our own care, and our shadow material (both healthy and unhealthy), can be left to the side.
This is a unique, private, closed group and requires a certain degree of emotional maturity. The process involves a free flow of thought and consciousness and the benefit of these groups comes from being-with-others in a space of honest inquiry with a willingness to discuss the challenges and thrills of an examined life. While the facilitator takes responsibility for practical organisation and maintaining ethical group processes, they do not lead or direct. They join as a fellow traveller in the exploration and pursuit of meaningful life experiences and self-understanding. 

Existential inquiry supports curiosity, openness, and truth. Existential thought is based upon a belief that all people experience certain conflicts in life, by the very fact of being human; being alive. These ‘givens’ include (but are not limited to) death, freedom, isolation, and meaning. Inevitability, we will all confront these existential givens at some point in life.
