DESCRIPTION:One Year Program – Part II – 6 Weeks \nBegins Monday\, November 10th\, 2025 \nAnalytic Listening\n10 CEs \n  \nInstructor: Judy Lapides \nMACMHC\, NJSCPsyA\, NCPsyA \nDates: 11/10\, 11/17\, 11/24\, and 12/1\, 12/8\,12/ 15 \nMonday Evenings 6:00PM (ET) – 7:30PM (ET) \nCost $350 \nvia Zoom \n\nAnalytic Listening:\n  \nThis course meets on six dates and will introduce students to the unique way a clinician listens as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist. By allowing clients to introduce topics without interference\, the clinician listens to the client’s story\, mode of communication\, and the story that is not being told. The untold story is analyzed silently\, as the unconscious communication is reported in dreams\, projections\, defense mechanisms\, resistances\, and transference communications. After listening attentively\, the clinician intervenes with questions—not interpretations—in order to strengthen the ego. \n*10 NBCC-approved CE hours for counselors\, marriage and family therapists\, and art therapists.* \nParticipants will be able to: \n\nIdentify unconscious communication reported in dreams\, projections\, defense mechanisms\, resistances\, and transference communications.\nListen as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist.\nExplore communications for their symbolic meanings.\nDesign Interventions that can empower the client and strengthen the ego.\nAssess the impact of specific interventions to facilitate progressive communication.\n\n\nThe One Year Program\n  \nThe program consists of four courses over one year. It provides an opportunity for mental health practitioners and professionals in various disciplines to enhance clinical skills\, introducing innovative\, Modern Psychoanalytic principles\, theories\, and techniques. \nParticipants will discover effective strategies for designing interventions that can reverse maladaptive emotional and behavioral patterns. Through hands-on learning\, they will quickly build practical clinical skills that make a lasting difference in their work with clients—fostering collaboration\, self-definition\, and meaningful growth. \n  \nACAP’s unique methods for navigating challenging clinical situations can be the key to transforming burnout into renewed professional satisfaction. These approaches are grounded in the foundational concepts of Modern Psychoanalysis\, offering both depth and practical application. \nFull information about the four courses at \n\n\nOne-Year Program: Modern Psychoanalytic Studies \n\n\nJudy Lapides\, NCPsyA\, NJSCPsyA\, is a National and New Jersey State Certified psychoanalyst.
