EXISTENTIAL ANALYSIS CANADA
FALL 2017 NEWSLETTER

 

Update from the Existential Analysis Canada Board


Dear EA Canada Members and Friends,

On this beautiful BC autumn day, I send you warm greetings from the Existential Analysis Society of Canada. I trust that you have successfully navigated the transition from the slower pace of summer to the more engaged tempo of the fall. And with this new engagement, I am pleased to provide you with a brief update on the workings and beings of your society.

During this season I am reminded about the importance of, and need for, our work. I have had the blessing and privilege of sitting with friends, clients, students and colleagues who have all benefitted from Existential Analysis, whose life and work has been touched and shaped by this approach. And I have also found myself feeling deeply appreciative for the training in psychotherapy that has taught me to trust increasingly in my own inner knowing, my spirit, as Frankl might say. In spite of the fact that much of our discipline emphasizes the objective, and seems to have a fundamental distrust of this most human part of ourselves, I have found time and again that it has proven to be a faithful guide. It depends, of course, upon my inner connection, my attentiveness to this inner knowing and upon my courage to act upon it. But I have found – anew in this season – that it is worth taking this risk.  It leads, paradoxically perhaps, to an increased confidence, to knowing who I am and a greater capacity to trust in this knowing.

If you have not yet had the opportunity to get to know Existential Analysis and some of our trainers who are working so diligently to bring this approach to the helping professions in North America, I would encourage you to take advantage of the opportunities that we have for you this fall.

In the Greater Vancouver area, we are offering two introductory seminars October 21 – 22 and November 5, 2017. These introductory offerings are meant to give those of you who have not experienced EA training an opportunity to get to know this approach and our trainers.  The next full training cohort – Cohort 5 – will then continue on December 2 and 3.  There is still room in this group, so if you have been considering participating in our training, please make sure to visit our website and connect with the trainers.  The fifth cohort will be led by Dr. Mihaela Launeanu, Ms. Kari-Ann Thor, MA, and Ms. Beth Daley, MA. I have known each of these trainers for many years now; in fact, all of them were part of Cohort 1. And I am certain that you will find them to be competent and engaging trainers, as well as beautiful, humble and kind human beings.

I want to thank you for your ongoing interest in our society, exemplified in part through your subscription to this newsletter. Should you find yourself responding inwardly towards anything that you find in this newsletter, I would very much value hearing from you (derrick.klaassen@icloud.com).

In gratitude,

Derrick Klaassen, Ph.D., R.Psych.
Chair of the Board

Obiectivul nostru fundamental îl constituie reunirea unor specialiști, a unor practicieni de mare valoare (atât din țară, cât si din străinatate), în vederea realizării schimbului de informații cu și între aceștia. Ne propunem să oferim specialistilor și tinerilor cercetători oportunitatea de a-și prezenta munca în diferite ramuri ale psihologiei, sociologiei, științelor educației și sănătății, de a-și face cunoscute ultimele metode și instrumente de cercetare, de a realiza un schimb intens de informații, benefic tuturor participanților.
In cadrul manifestării, vă puteți implica în derularea unui mare număr de activități deosebit de interesante: expuneri, work-shop-uri, dezbateri / mese rotunde, sesiuni științifice.
Va puteti convinge de acest mod cu totul special de organizare, accesând paginile referitoare la cele 10 ediții anterioare ale manifestării noastre. In cadrul edițiilor anterioare, unele dintre workshopurile organizate au suscitat un interes atât de mare încât a fost nevoie să se desfașoare în repetate rânduri.
Manifestarea dispune de un comitet științific extrem de vast, compus dintr-un număr de 15 specialiști afiliați la diverse universități din străinătate, ca și din România.
Lucrările în limba engleză ale edițiilor anterioare au fost deja indexate in Thomson Reuters - Web of Science (ISI).
Lucrările în limba română susținute în cadrul secțiunilor științifice vor fi publicate într-un volum al manifestării editat la o editură recunoscută C.N.C.S.I.S.
Am publicat deja, la precedentele ediții, un număr de 30 volumecuprinzând lucrările prezentate în cadrul secțiunilor științifice ale congresului. Acestea pot fi accesate în cadrul paginii http://www.ascip.ro/publicatii.

V. ALTELE…

Manifestarea stiintifică pe care o organizăm este dedicată exclusiv unor aspecte de ordin practic, aplicativ, metodologic ale psihologiei, sociologiei, științelor educației și sănătății legate de cercetarea actuală, de implicațiile ei metodologice, etice, sociale, culturale. Acesta este, de altfel, principalul motiv pentru care ne propunem să evităm activitățile cu caracter teoretic, speculativ. Suntem preocupați îndeosebi de organizarea unor activități practice, aplicative (workshopuri, dezbateri) pornind de la teme de interes deosebit în domeniile psihologiei, sociologiei, științelor educației și sănătății.
In speranța că veți accepta invitația noastră, așteptăm cu nerăbdare această întâlnire.

Cu respect,
Dr. Marius Milcu
Președinte al Comitetului Organizator
